Frequently Asked Questions - Cadac Safari Chef Compact 30 DOMETIC

Can I use this appliance indoors?

No, this appliance is designed for outdoor use only, in a well-ventilated area. Using it indoors may lead to dangerous gas accumulation.

3. Operating the Appliance

• When operating this appliance, please take care to ensure that all parts are in good working order and that you have checked for any gas leaks before lighting the appliance with every use.
• Cooking surfaces can simply be placed and are ready to use. No assembly required.
• PLEASE NOTE: Please ensure all protective packaging and plastic are removed from the appliance before use. • The appliance is designed for use with cooking vessels of not less than 150mm in diameter and not greater than 300mm in diameter.

Precautions to observe before lighting.

• Use this appliance only on a firm level surface. • After prolonged storage, inspect the appliance for any insects and webs, which may affect gas flow.

Lighting the appliance using the piezo

• It is recommended to remove any cooking surfaces when trying to light the appliance. This way it will be easy to see the burner when it is lit. - To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push and turn the control knob in an anticlockwise direction until you hear a click. If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, turn the control knob back to its OFF "•" position. Try again, by pushing and turning the control knob anti-clockwise until you hear a click. If the gas has not ignited in the first two to three seconds you should close the control valve by turning the control knob back to its OFF "•" position. - Wait approximately thirty seconds to let any accumulated gas within the burner escape. Repeat the above process if necessary until the flame ignites. The flame should normally light up within the first one to two seconds.

Lighting up using a BBQ lighter

- When starting cold, the appliance may be lit from the top prior to fitting the desired cooking surface onto the fat pan. When lighting up a hot appliance, it is recommended that this be done by sticking a barbecue lighter through one of the vent holes underneath the burner, until it is in line with the burner (DO NOT place the BBQ lighter through the large hole directly underneath the burner). Ignite the BBQ lighter. Whilst the BBQ lighter is lit, push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to light the burner.

General

• Use the control knob to adjust the flame intensity to the desired level by turning the knob clockwise to decrease the flame and anticlockwise to increase the flame.
• When cooking food with a high fat content, flaring may occur if the selected heat setting is too high. Should this happen, turn the heat down until the flaring ceases.
• Do not move the appliance when in use. It is unsafe practice to move the appliance whilst lit and may cause flaring.
• When not in use remove the gas cartridge.

5. GreenGrill Cooking Options

Most CADAC | Dometic cooking surfaces feature GreenGrill non-stick ceramic coating which is PFOA-free and non-toxic, allowing for healthier cooking.

To prepare the cooking surface

- To prepare the cooking surface Before first use, it is recommended that you prepare the cooking surface to prevent food from sticking. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire cooking surface and heat it over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.

Allow the cooking surface to cool before washing it in warm soapy water.

Re-apply a thin layer of oil to the cooking surface. It is now ready for use.

Cleaning your cooking surface

• Always allow cooking surfaces to cool completely before immersing in water. Clean your cooking surface with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid the use of scouring pads. • To loosen stubborn stains or residues, soak the cooking surface for a few minutes in warm water before attempting to wash.

Maintenance

• After cleaning, we recommend spreading a small amount of oil on the cooking surface before storing to protect the surface against air and moisture. Most cooking surfaces are supplied with a convenient storage bag. Place the oiled cooking surface in a plastic bag before storing it in its bag to keep the bag clean and free of any residue.

NOTE

• GreenGrill coating conducts heat better than regular (PTFE) non-stick coatings. Therefore, we recommend using only 75% of the usual power setting. • To avoid damage to your cooking surface, never leave it on the heat source without a coating of oil. • We recommend frying with sunflower or rapeseed oil due to their high burning points. The use of olive oil is not recommended due to its lower burning point, which can cause ingredients to stick or burn.

Tip: bring meat or fish to room temperature before frying to prevent sticking.

The CADAC | Dometic Soft Soak and Soft Soak Brush (sold separately) are ideal cleaning products for GreenGrill cooking surfaces, aiding in soaking and removing stubborn food residue.

Cooking Options

These are the available cooking options.

Grilling: This cooking option is ideal for fat-free grilling of chicken, sausages, chops, kebabs, fish or vegetables. For this type of cooking, use the grill plate.

Caution: Please note that when cooking fatty meats some fat will splatter onto the unit which may cause flare-ups. Please use caution when handling such meats. The cooking temperatures are easily adjusted to suit your own requirements by turning the control knob to regulate the degree of heat.

Frying: This option is ideal for stir-fries, fish, breakfast, pancakes, prawns, paella and vegetables. For this type of cooking, use the flat grill. Please note that being a shallow pan, it is not suitable for deep-frying. The easy clean surface encourages the minimum use of fat for healthy cooking.

Boiling: For this type of cooking, place the pot stand in its locator grooves ensuring that it is properly seated. Place a suitable pot (not less than 150mm diameter and not more than 300mm diameter). One liter of water will boil in approximately 6 minutes depending on the conditions, size of pot used, etc. Use windshields in case of windy conditions.

Note: When using small sized pots, do not attempt to use pots with plastic handles as these can get extremely hot.

Paella: This cooking option is ideal for preparing paellas, risottos, pasta dishes, traditional breakfasts, etc. The Paella Pan is made from high quality pressed aluminium which allows for excellent heat distribution and retention.

Pizza baking: This cooking option is ideal for preparing pizzas, flat breads, etc. The pizza stone is 12mm thick, can withstand temperatures of up to 300°C, and includes a pan. The dome needs to be used in order to create the baking effect.

Coffee: This option is ideal for brewing a hot cup of coffee. Ideal for anytime, anywhere.

The following are sold separately as optional accessories, and may not be available in all regions. Contact your local supplier for availability.

6. Cleaning

• It is recommended to clean your appliance after every use. This will prolong the life of your appliance.
• Allow the appliance to cool down before you clean it.
• Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of soapy water to clean exterior surfaces. To clean the stove body, simply wipe with a damp cloth using a little detergent, if necessary. DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER as this will allow water to get into the burner tube causing the appliance to malfunction.
• The grill plate is coated with a tough durable ceramic non-stick coating that has been used with great success on some of the best cookware in the world. Nevertheless, taking care of it can help you to enjoy extra years of healthy, easy, non-stick cooking.
• Whilst the ceramic non-stick coating is very durable, it can easily be damaged by the use of metal cooking utensils. It is therefore recommended that only plastic or wooden utensils be used when cooking. Always allow the grill/flat plate to cool before immersing it in water.
• Make sure that no water gets onto the burners or pilot/light area. Wipe the appliance completely dry before use.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surfaces.
• Clean the appliance after each use. After cleaning recondition the cooking surface with a light wipe of oil.
• Do not use any high-pressure steam equipment or a water jet to clean the appliance.
• Note: For stubborn stains, CADAC oven cleaner may be used.

7. Storage

Always allow the unit to cool down and be cleaned before storing. Turn off the gas supply to the appliance, disconnect and remove the gas supply from the appliance. Never store an appliance with the gas supply connected, this is an unsafe practice. Store the appliance and gas supply in a well-ventilated area away from combustible material. Storage of cylinders should preferably be outdoors and must NOT be in a basement.

8. Maintenance & troubleshooting

Maintenance

• If you clean and maintain your appliance on a regular basis, the life of your appliance will extend and the possibility of problems will decrease. We recommend the service of your appliance to be every twelve (12) months by a service agent to ensure continued efficient operation.
• This appliance must only be serviced by an authorized person.
