Frequently Asked Questions - CPB101 DOMETIC

How do I connect the gas bottle?

Ensure the grill is off. Connect the gas regulator to a standard butane or propane bottle (sold separately). Tighten by hand. Check for leaks with soapy water.

What type of gas can I use?

The Dometic CPB101 is designed for butane or propane gas. Use only approved gas cylinders with the correct regulator.

How do I ignite the grill?

Turn the gas valve to the start position and press the ignition button repeatedly until the burner lights. If the piezo fails, use a long lighter.

Can I use the grill indoors?

No. Never use the grill indoors or in enclosed spaces. Carbon monoxide poisoning risk. Only use outdoors in well-ventilated areas.

How do I clean the drip tray?

Remove the drip tray after cooling. Wash with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse and dry before reinserting.

What do I do if the flame is uneven?

Check the burner ports for blockages. Clean with a soft brush or compressed air. Ensure the gas bottle is not empty and the regulator is working.

How often should I check for gas leaks?

Before each use, check all connections with a soapy water solution. Bubbles indicate a leak. Tighten connections or replace parts if needed.

Can I replace the burner myself?

Yes, replacement burners are available from Dometic service. Disconnect gas, remove the old burner, and install the new one following the manual.

What is the maximum cooking time on a full gas bottle?

With a 500g butane bottle at max power, expect about 2-3 hours of continuous use. Actual time depends on heat setting and ambient temperature.

How do I store the grill?

Ensure the grill is cool and clean. Disconnect the gas bottle. Store in a dry, frost-free place. Cover to protect from dust and moisture.

5 Before initial use

The permitted gas pressure can be found on the type plate of the device.

Always use the supplied gas hose and regulator. If this becomes damaged please contact the manufacturer's support (see back page) to organise a replacement.

Assembling the portable BBQ

▶ Proceed as follows: fig. 3, page 4 and fig. 4, page 5.

NOTICE!

Failure to use supplied fibre washers will cause the enamel coating to crack (see detail ⚠ in fig. 4, page 5).

Treating the cooking surface of the BBQ

▶ Coat the cooking surface of the BBQ in a light coating of cooking oil.
▶Connect the device to the gas cylinder (chapter "Connecting the device to the gas cylinder" on page 16).
Ignite the device (chapter "Igniting the device" on page 17) and set the burner to low heat.
▶Let the burner burn for 20 minutes. During this time the original coating of the BBQ plates may come off.
▶Turn off the device and allow it to cool.
▶ Clean the cooking surface.

6 Using the device

Placing the device (fig. 5, page 6)

When selecting the location for barbecuing, observe the following instructions:

• Set up the device outdoors in a well-ventilated place. Do not place it in a dip to prevent any gases from accumulating there.
• The ground must be firm, level and stable.
• Keep the device protected from the wind.
• Never operate the device under any overhead combustible construction such as tent, pavilion, sun shade, awning, tree etc.
• Never place the device near flammable materials, even when cooling down. Keep a distance of at least 300 mm from sides and back.
• Never place the device near flammable liquids. Keep a distance of at least 8 m.
• Observe the safety instructions, see chapter "Safety precautions when handling liquid gas" on page 12.

Connecting the device to the gas cylinder

▶ Proceed as follows: fig. 6, page 6.
▶ After connecting the device to the gas supply, check the gas pipe for leakage using a foaming agent, e. g. with soap. Never use a naked flame to test for gas leaks.

Igniting the device

WARNING! Beware of injury

• Only use the device when you or another person can attend to it.
• Before igniting the BBQ ensure that there is no grease build up on the hotplate or in the grease tray as this may lead to unexpected flare ups.
• Ignite the burners as soon as you have turned on the gas supply. Otherwise gas can accumulate in the burner area and cause an explosion.

NOTE

• While it is operating, you will be able to hear a slight noise caused by the gas flowing out. This is completely normal.
• Smoke can occur when using it for the first time. This is caused by burning deposits of machine oil and stops after approx. 10 minutes.

▶ Proceed as follows: fig. 7, page 7.
▶If the burner does not ignite after 3 attempts, turn off the gas and wait 10 seconds for the gas to clear.
▶Try again with the piezo igniter or light the device manually using a long match or long neck lighter (fig. 8, page 8). Do not use a cigarette lighter.
▶ After lighting, check that the burner has properly ignited. The flames must be burning along the whole length of both sides of the burner pipe.

Barbecuing

Please observe the following instructions when barbecuing:

• Before barbecuing, coat the cooking surface of the portable BBQ with a liberal coating of cooking oil, which will assist to prevent food sticking.
• The device must be warmed up before use, light the burner and allow it to operate on high setting for 3 – 5 minutes.

- When barbecuing, control the temperature by adjusting the control knob between high (▲) and low flame setting (▲): fig. 9, page 8.

- When barbecuing meat, don't turn it continually over. For moist juicy meat, turn it once only during barbecuing. Juices rise to the top of meat during barbecuing and then settle.

Each time meat is turned, juices are lost and the meat becomes drier.

- Flare-ups sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot surfaces in the firebox and ignite. Some flaring is normal and desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with barbequed foods. Controlling the intensity of the flare-ups is necessary in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of accidental fire. Always monitor the device closely when cooking and turn the flame level down (A) or off if flare-ups intensify.

Turning off the device

▶ Proceed as follows: fig. 10, page 8.

Packing up and storing the device

CAUTION! Beware of burns

The device is very hot when you use it. Leave the device to cool down before you clean, dismantle or transport it.

▶ Disconnect the gas cylinder.
▶ Clean the device (chapter "Cleaning and maintaining the device" on page 19).
▶Pack up the device once it has cooled down.

Replacing the gas cylinder

WARNING! Beware of injury

Change the gas cylinder in a well-ventilated location.

Ensure that there are no open flames in the vicinity.

Only replace the gas cylinder when the device is switched off.

▶Completely close the valve on the gas cylinder.
▶Unscrew the regulator from the cylinder.
▶Check the condition of the gas hose.

▶Check the burner periodically for any sort of blockage.

• If any flame ports are blocked, use a wire brush to unblock them.
• If the burner is blocked, use a stiff wire ore pipe cleaner to unblock it.
• Ensure the mesh at the burner air inlet is clean. It must be clean to ensure safe operation of the burner.

▶Have a suitable authorized and qualified person perform a thorough examination of the device at least every 5 years.

8 Troubleshooting

Due to unforeseen circumstances the appliance may not operate as designed.

Indications of this are flashing back in the burner, large soft yellow flames, flames lifting extensively away from the burner and the appliance not igniting or remaining alight.

In these cases, check your gas supply to ensure there is sufficient gas, no leaks and the valves are opened sufficiently for use. If this is the case and the problem/s still persists, you will need to contact a suitably qualified authorized person to service your appliance.

Repairs to the gas supply parts on the device may only be carried out by a qualified technician.

▶Shut off the gas supply immediately if a fault occurs.
▶ Check again that the device has been assembled correctly and the parts are undamaged, especially the gas hose.
