Notes on refi lling gas cylinders Certain LPG dealers can ll LPG cylinders for use in the barbecue beyond the capacity of the cylinders. This "over lling" can lead to a dangerous condition. The "over lling" of tanks can cause excess pressure to build up. As a safety device, the tank's pressure relief valve vents gas vapour to relieve this excess pressure. This vapour is ammable and can therefore be ignited accidentally. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:

• If you have your gas cylinder lled, be sure to tell the gas dealer that no more than 80% of the total capacity of the gas cylinder may be lled.

• If you have or use an extra reserve gas bottle or have an unconnected gas bottle, never store it near or under the grill or heat box or near any other source of ignition or heat. WARNING Danger of re and explosion! If you smell gas:

1. Turn off the gas supply to the appliance at the gas bottle.

4. If the smell of gas persists, stay away from the appliance and call the

GAS CONNECTION The gas connection line between the gas pressure regulator and the grill can be made using metal bellows or a gas-approved rubber hose with a maximum length of 1.5m. Gas grills that run on liqueed petroleum gas (LPG) should be connected with a gas approved rubber hose.

• If a rubber hose is used, a universal air inlet tting is required.

• The two ends of the gas hose are connected to the grill and the gas valve respectively. Please install the rubber hose adapter directly on the main gas pipe without any adapters in between. The diameter of the gas hose is 8-10mm and varies depending on the adapter used. If in doubt, ask your local gas dealer which adapter and gas hose is compatible with the gas bottles available in your country. Never operate the device if you have any doubts about compatibility or if you are unsure whether the connection is properly insulated.

• Only approved gas hoses and regulators may be connected to a (rellable) gas cylinder. All components should comply with local regulations.

• Make sure that the gas hose is not twisted, kinked or bent by other objects. After installation is complete, a gas leak detection (leak test) should be performed.

• Do not expose the gas hose to high temperatures.

• It is recommended that an annual air tightness test be carried out on the gas grill.

• Before each use, make sure the rubber hose is in good condition. Replace it if it shows signs of wear or cracks. Gas connection with Type E adapter Gas connection (France) If a rubber hose is being used, please install the appropriate adapter (see image above) directly on the main gas pipe without any adapters in between. When using the gas grill in France, please ensure that the appropriate adapter (see image above) is connected to the main gas line.31

• Perform the leak test each time the gas cylinder is connected or reconnected.

• Never use an open ame to check for gas leaks.

• Never smoke while performing the leak test.

• Always perform the leak test outdoors, in a well-ventilated area, and away from sources of ignition such as gasoline, open ames, sparks, or electrical equipment.

• The device must be checked regularly for gas leaks. If a smell of gas is noticeable, the leak test must be carried out immediately. Carrying out the leak test

• Make a soapy solution of soap and water in a 1:3 ratio. The soap solution can be applied with a bottle, brush, dish soap bottle or cloth to the areas to be tested: gas cylinder valve, pressure regulator, all gas connections, hose connections and along the entire length of the connection hose.

• The gas valve must be turned to the "OFF" position when applying the soap solution. Once the soapy solution has been applied all over, turn on the gas valve to the "ON" position.

• If there is a leak at one point, soap bubbles will appear at the corresponding point.

• If there is a leak, close the gas valve immediately. Tighten the leaking connectors, open the gas valve and recheck all points.

• If the leak does not stop after several attempts, contact your local gas dealer or similarly qualied person. Never use the grill if there is a leak!32

Lighting the gas grill CAUTION Fire and burn hazard! The lid must be open when lighting the burner! Do not hold your face directly over the gas grill when lighting it. Your gas grill has the following ignition methods: Ignition with the pilot gas control (main burner or main burner with side burner)

• When all the controls on the gas grill are in the "OFF" position, turn the gas bottle valve on the gas pressure regulator to the "ON" position. To create a spark, you need to press the throttle knob and hold it in that position for 3-5 seconds to allow gas ow. Then turn it anti-clockwise to "HIGH". Sparks are generated in the burner tube. You will hear a click from the igniter and you will see an orange ame coming out of the burner tube on the left side of the burner.

• Keep the gas control knob depressed for 2 seconds after the crackle to pass the gas completely through the burner tube and ensure ignition.

• When the burner ame is burning, you can also light adjacent burners by setting their knobs to "HIGH".

• At the "HIGH" setting, the burner ame should be about 12-20 mm, with a minimum of orange ame.

• Turn the control knob fully anti-clockwise for the minimum (low) setting.

• If you have dif culty lighting your gas grill when following the above steps, contact the manufacturer or customer service. Note: If the automatic ignition does not work, remove the grill grate and the heat distributor (hot plate) and turn the valve anti-clockwise 90° to light the grill with a grill lighter at a distance of 5 mm from the burner re hole. Re t the grill grate and the heat distributor (hot plate). Be sure to wear reproof and heat-resistant gloves during this process. WARNING Danger of re and explosion! If the burner still does not light, turn the gas control knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes for the unburnt gas to dissipate before trying to light the gas grill again.38

Tips for energy-saving use

• Reduce the time that the lid is open.

• Switch off the grill as soon as the cooking process is complete.

• Preheat the gas barbecue for 10 to 15 minutes only (except when using it for the rst time).

• Do not preheat the gas grill longer than recommended.

• Do not use a higher setting than required. STORAGE Note: Make sure that the grill has cooled down completely before storing. Storage of the gas cylinder

• Disconnect the gas bottle from the gas grill when it is no longer in use.

• Make sure you are outdoors and away from any ignition sources before attempting to disconnect your gas bottle from the gas grill.

• Store the gas cylinder outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Storage of the gas grill

• When you return your gas grill to service after a period of storage, check the unit and all connections for gas leaks. Before use, also check whether the burner or nozzles are clogged. Follow the cleaning instructions to ensure that the gas grill is safe to use.

• If the gas grill is stored outdoors, make sure that all areas under the front panel are free from obstructions (insects, etc.). This area must be kept clear, otherwise the ow of combustion or ventilation air may be impaired.39

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION Risk of burns! All cleaning and maintenance work must only be carried out when the gas grill has cooled down and the connection to the gas cylinder has been disconnected. Maintenance

• It is recommended that the gas grill be serviced by a competent technician every 90 days, or at least once a year. Do not attempt to service the device yourself. Cleaning

• The gas grill should be cleaned after each use.

• Allow the grill to "burn off" after each use to minimise food residue on the grill grid. To do this, switch on the burner for 15 to 20 minutes. The drops of fat on your grill will be burned off. Make sure the device has cooled down before proceeding with the cleaning.

• Clean the grill grates regularly by soaking them in soapy water and washing them.

• The inside surfaces of the grill housing cover should also be cleaned with hot soapy water. Use a wire brush, steel wool or a scouring pad to remove stubborn stains.

• Check the burner regularly to make sure it is free of insects and spiders that could clog the gas line and divert the gas ow. Be sure to clean the venturi tubes on the burner very carefully, and make sure there are no blockages. It is recommended that you use a tube cleaner to clean the venturi area.

• Do not block the re opening of the grill. If the re opening is blocked, use a round rod with a diameter of 1.6 mm to clean it.

• Be careful not to enlarge the burner ori ces or nozzles when cleaning the burner or valves.

• Any modi cations to this unit can be dangerous and are not permitted.40

TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Potential cause Prevention / Solution Gas leaks from a ruptured/cut/burnt hose. Damaged hose Turn off gas at the gas bottle. Replace the hose if it is cut or torn.
