Turning off ﬂ ame, ending operation

• Release the push button (2); the gas vent is closed and the ﬂ ame goes out.

• Move the sliding switch (1) for child safety downward in the direction of the gas tank. The

push button (2) is thereby locked.

• Place the hot-gas burner in the provided stand and let it cool down completely.

• Once the hot-gas burner is completely cooled off, it can be stored in a clean, dry location.

Make sure that the hot-gas burner is always stored upright. Use the provided stand for this

purpose.

Constant function

A constant function can be achieved with the locking knob (3), so that you can release the push

button and the hot-gas burner continues to run nevertheless.

Proceed as follows:

• Press the push button (2) and hold it down. The exiting gas is thereby ignited by the inte-

grated piezo-ignition; the ﬂ ame should now burn.

If only gas comes out and no ﬂ ame, let go of the push button (2) and press it again.

• Keep holding the push button (2) down. Now press the locking knob (3) for the constant func-

tion and hold it down ﬁ rmly.

Release the push button (2).

The ﬂ ame continues to burn without you needing to push a button on the hot-gas burner.

• To turn off the ﬂ ame, press the push button (2) so that the locking knob (3) pops out.

Move the sliding switch (1) for child safety downward in the direction of the gas tank. The

push button (2) is thereby locked.

• Place the hot-gas burner in the provided stand and let it cool down completely.

Troubleshooting

Flame does not burn or goes out again immediately:

• Turn the gas volume knob (4) all the way to the left (counter-clockwise) before you ignite the

hot-gas burner. Only after a successful ignition should you adjust the desired ﬂ ame intensity.

If the dial is turned too far to the right, too little gas comes out and a ﬂ ammable mixture does

not form.

• The gas tank is empty and must be reﬁ lled.

The push button (2) for the ignition function cannot be pressed:

• Move the sliding switch (1) for child safety upward in the direction of the gas volume control.

This lowers the barrier for the push button (2).

Gas comes out during ﬁ lling:

• Use the right adapter during ﬁ lling. Normally, this is provided with every lighter gas cartridge.

Disposal

Dispose of an unserviceable product in accordance with the relevant statutory regu-

lations.

Filling

The hot-gas burner is delivered empty due to safety reasons. When using for the ﬁ rst time, you

must therefore ﬁ rst ﬁ ll the hot-gas burner’s tank before it can be used.



Caution!

Only use commercial lighter gas (ISO butane gas) to ﬁ ll the tank. Suitable reﬁ ll

cartridges for this purpose are available for purchase (e.g. 250 ml cans). If in doubt,

consult a specialist.

NEVER ﬁ ll the hot-gas burner with other gases/ﬂ uids. Never use unsuitable car-

tridges or hose connections when ﬁ lling! There is an extreme risk of ﬁ re or explosion!

Fill the gas tank of the hot-gas burner only in a well ventilated environment and avoid

open ﬂ ames (danger of explosion!).

Only ﬁ ll the hot-gas burner after it has cooled down completely!

To ﬁ ll, proceed as follows:

• First, remove the stand (6). Turn the hot-gas burner so the ﬁ lling valve (7) points vertically

upwards.

• Hold the ﬁ lling tip of the lighter gas cartridge vertically downwards and stick it into the ﬁ lling

valve (7). If necessary, use a suitable adapter (usually supplied with the lighter gas cartridge).

Then press the ﬁ lling tip of the lighter gas cartridge against the ﬁ lling valve. The liqueﬁ ed

gas now ﬂ ows into the gas tank of the hot-gas burner. End the ﬁ lling procedure after 2 to 3

seconds. This ﬁ lling process can be repeated 2 or 3 times.



Stop the ﬁ lling process immediately if gas escapes. A gas-air mixture could arise

which could explode. Make sure that the room has been well ventilated before you

ignite hot-gas burners or other sources of ignition.

Wait for at least 3 minutes after ﬁ lling before using the hot-gas burner, so that the

gas reﬁ ll can stabilise.

Operation

Preparation

• Hold the hot-gas burner in such a way that the ﬂ ame exit opening (5) points away from you.

Also hold it so that the grip points downward.

• Turn the gas volume knob (4) all the way to the left (counter-clockwise).

• Move the sliding switch (1) for child safety upward in the direction of the gas volume control.

This lowers the barrier for the push button (2).

Igniting the ﬂ ame

• Press the push button (2) and hold it down ﬁ rmly. The exiting gas is thereby ignited by the

integrated piezo-ignition; the ﬂ ame should now burn.

• If only gas comes out and no ﬂ ame, let go of the push button (2) and press it again.

Adjusting the size of the ﬂ ame

• You can adjust how much gas comes out and how large the ﬂ ame is with the gas volume

control (4).

If you turn the dial to the left counter-clockwise (labelled „+“), the volume of gas increases and

the ﬂ ame gets larger.

If you turn the dial to the right clockwise (labelled „-“), the volume of gas decreases and the

ﬂ ame gets smaller.
