The C206 GLS cartridge has a new integrated flow reducing system, the Gas Lock System, which is compliant to the new European standard EN 417:2012 legislation. The system prevents the majority of residual gas from escaping the cartridge when accidentally disconnecting it from the appliance, thereby also preventing flare-ups. This cartridge contains a mixture of Butane/Propane and is fitted with a Gas Lock System to prevent the majority of residual gas escaping from the cartridge if accidentally disconnected. Caution: This Product is Highly Flammable. Gas Weight: 190g.
This guide is for users of the Campingaz C206 GLS Gas Cartridge. It explains how to use the cartridge safely and effectively for camping and outdoor cooking. The key benefit is a reliable and economical fuel source, but remember that these cartridges are pierceable and cannot be disconnected once in use, so plan accordingly.
