Campingaz kitchen - bought without instructions. Help?

I bought an ex-display model and have just realised it's missing one of two instruction books - I have the one with the words, but also need the one with the pictures. It's a Campingaz kitchen stove, grill, plus and extra. Does anyone happen to have one?

My main questions are: is the hose supposed to go all the way onto the metal tap? My DH has given himself a blister and found it impossible to get it more than about 2cm onto the spout, which must be about 8cm in total.

And which bit is the water tray you need to fill to use the grill. Presumably the black bit that fits over the burners?

Long shot, I know, but would be grateful if anyone can help!

Have you googled to see if you can get it online?

Yes - annoyingly no instructions online! Thanks for the suggestion, though. Managed to get it up and working so am just going to cross fingers have done it right...

If it's working and no leaks then you'll be grand...have you a break planned?

Hi, I think we have the same one, the hose on ours only goes about half way on to the metal pipe, we lubricate it with a little bit of washing up liquid to get as tight a fit as poss

In the camping shop the guy said to put the hose into some hot water to make it more pliable. Then it goes on nearly all the way with a bit of effort. Have you tightened the screws on the ring things that go around the hose?
