Danger: Gas is highly flammable
Liquid gas is highly flammable and explosive.
Possible consequences:
• Serious injury to persons or damage to prop-
erty if escaping or accumulated gas ignites in
an uncontrolled manner.
Safety measures:
• Only use the barbecue outdoors and ensure
that the area is well-ventilated.
• Protect the gas cylinder and the gas hose from
direct sunlight and other sources of heat (max.
50°C). Take particular care to ensure that the
gas hose does not touch any part of the hot
barbecue.
• Close the valve on the gas cylinder immediate-
ly when you finish using the barbecue.
• When connecting the gas cylinder make sure
that there are no sources of ignition within a
5 m radius.
• Take special care not to light any naked flames,
do not smoke or switch on electric appliances
(devices, lights, door bells), etc. (spark-over
possible).
• Before each use, make sure that all gas con-
nections are sealed and intact.
• If necessary, ensure that you replace the gas
hose if required to do so to comply local leg-
islation.
The barbecue must not be used if the connec-
tions for the gas supply are porous or faulty.
This also applies, for example, to hoses or fit-
tings that are blocked with insects, as this can
result in a dangerous flashback.
• When igniting the gas flame do not bend over
the cooking area or the side burner, as defla-
gration can occur if gas has accumulated in the
fire bowl.
For the same reason, never re-ignite immedi-
ately if the flame goes out, instead:
–Turn the flame regulators (3 x B and C) to
"Off" to interrupt the supply of gas.
–Wait for 3 minutes to ensure that any accu-
mulated gas has dissipated.
–Then re-ignite the burners (see the chapter
"Operations").
Danger: Gas displaces oxygen
Liquid gas is heavier than oxygen. Therefore it
settles on the ground and displaces the oxygen
at that level.
Possible consequences:
• Suffocation resulting from a lack of oxygen if
the concentration of gas is allowed to rise suf-
ficiently.
Safety measures:
• Only use the barbecue outdoors in a well ven-
tilated area and above ground (i.e. not in are-
as that are below ground level).
• Close the valve on the gas cylinder immediate-
ly when you finish using the barbecue.
• If the barbecue is not being used for a pro-
longed period, cut off the supply from the gas
cylinder and store properly:
–Fit the gas cylinder valve with a cap nut and
safety cap.
–Do not store the gas cylinder in rooms
below ground level, in or near stairways,
hallways or passages and thoroughfares
between buildings.
–Always store gas cylinders upright, even if
they are empty!
