Note:
The use of domestic gas is absolutely forbidden!
For gas engines it is permitted to use liquefied gas mixtures of propane/
butane whose mixing ratio lies between 90/10 and 30/70.
Owing to the better cold start properties, it is preferable to use liquefied gas
with a high propane proportion for external temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F),
for evaporation begins to take place already at low temperatures.
Replacement parts
Please note that the use of other than original replacement parts can lead to
serious malfunctions and also to bad accidents, if such parts have not been
properly manufactured, or do not precisely replace the original part or lead to
unsafe operation of the appliance. Please always use only original replace-
ment parts.
Accessories
Wrong, non-suitable or defective accessories hamper the functioning of the
appliance. Their use is dangerous. Please use only original accessories.
Otherwise the right to claim under guarantee can be extinguished.
