Function
When the regulator handle (5) and flame regulator
are open, the gas flows through the gas hose (3) and
the flame regulator into the burner.
When the electronic pulse ignition (A) is actuated, a
spark is emitted from the spark plugs on the burners,
which then ignites the gas.
The gas supply (= heat output) for the respective bur-
ner can be regulated and interrupted using the flame
regulator (B and C).
Utilisation
Intended use
This is a gas barbecue that is intended for outdoor
use. The intended use comprises the exclusive use for
cooking barbecue food in compliance with all instruc-
tions in this manual.
This barbecue is intended for private use only.
Improper use
Any other use or application beyond the intended
purpose is not permitted. This applies in particular to
the following reasonably foreseeable types of impro-
per use:
• Do not operate the barbecue with charcoal or fuel
other than liquid gas (propane/butane).
• Do not use the barbecue as a heating appliance.
• Do not use the barbecue to heat materials and
substances other than barbecue food.

Residual risks
Danger: Hot surfaces and parts
During operation some parts of the barbecue can
become very hot, particularly those close to the
grill unit and the lid..
Possible consequences:
• Severe burns from touching parts near the grill
unit.
• Fire or smoldering fire if flammable materials
or substances are near the barbecue.
Precautions prior to barbecuing:
• When setting it up, make sure that
• there are not, and will not be, any flamma-
ble materials or substances nearby. Minimum
distance to flammable materials or substances:
2 m overhead and 1 m to the side. Distance
to flame-resistant materials or substances, e.g.
walls: at least 0.25 m.
–that the barbecue is positioned firmly on
a sufficiently large area. It must not be
moved during operation.
Precautions while barbecuing:
• Wear barbecue mittens.
• Never leave the barbecue unattended. Take
particular care to ensure that children and
pets are kept away from the barbecue.
General safety instructions
Failure to observe the following basic safety measures
can result in severe injury to persons and substantial
damage to property:
• Use the barbecue only in line with the intended
use.
• Never use the barbecue if it is visibly damaged.
• Never modify the barbecue's technology. Only Use
original spare parts from Landmann.
• Use only accessories that are expressly authorised
for this barbecue (see the "Accessories" chapter;
if in doubt please contact our customer service
department).
• Only use the barbecue outdoors in a well venti-
lated area and above ground level (i.e. not in
depressions below ground level).
• Never leave the barbecue unattended when in
use. Take particular care to ensure that children
and persons with physical or mental disabilities
are kept away from the barbecue. They may not
be able to identify the dangers correctly.
• Always wear barbecue mittens when using the
barbecue.
• Small parts may be lethal if swallowed. Note that
there is a danger of suffocation if the respiratory
tract is covered by packing foil.

Miton PTS 3.1
Danger: Gas is highly ammable
Liquid gas is highly flammable and explosive.
Possible consequences:
• Serious injury to persons or damage to proper-
ty if escaping or accumulated gas ignites in an
uncontrolled manner.
Precautions:
• Exclusively 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 of the gas cylinder immediately
after finishing to use the barbecue.
• When connecting the gas cylinder, make sure
that there are no sources of ignition within a
5 m radius.
• Important note: to avoid the risk of spark-over,
do not to light naked flames, do not smoke
and do not actuate the switches of electric
devices (appliances, lights, door bells, etc.).
• Before each use, make sure that all gas con-
nections are sealed and intact.
• If necessary, replace the gas hose if required to
do so to comply with local legislation.
The barbecue must not be used if the connec-
tions for the gas supply are porous or defec-
tive. This also applies, for example, to hoses or
fittings that are blocked with insects, as this
can result in a dangerous flashback.
• When igniting the gas flame do not bend over
the barbecue, as deflagration can occur if gas
has accumulated in the fire bowl.
For the same reason, never re-ignite immedia-
tely 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 chapter
"Operation").
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 to a
certain extent.
Precautions:
• Exclusively use the barbecue outdoors in a well
ventilated area and above ground (i.e. not in
areas that are below ground level).
• Close the valve of the gas cylinder immediately
after finishing to use the barbecue.
• If the barbecue is not going to be used for a
prolonged 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!

Assembly
Here are a few tips to help you assemble your barbe-
cue quickly and successfully:
• Check that no parts are missing by placing all of
the individual parts on an empty table (subject to
minor technical changes).
• If, despite careful factory checks, a component
should be missing, please contact our customer
service department (see last page). We will imme-
diately attend to your request.
• To assemble the barbecue, all you need is a medi-
um-sized screwdriver.
• Only use tools that are intact and suitable for the
job at hand. Worn or unsuitable tools will not
allow you to tighten the bolts sufficiently, but will
damage them to the extent that they can no lon-
ger be turned.
• Always fit all connecting elements (screws, nuts,
bolts, et cetera) as shown in the illustrations. If you
misplace a connecting element, replace it with an
appropriate part. Only by doing this can you ensu-
re that the construction is strong and safe.
• Be sure to follow the instructions in the specified
order!
• Even if you are not experienced at DIY, assembly
does not generally take longer than one hour.
•
The illustrations showing the assembly steps are
at the end of this manual.

Disconnecting the gas cylinder
1. Close the cylinder valve.
2. Store the pressure regulator with the gas hose
under the barbecue. Make sure the gas hose is
not kinked or twisted in any way.
3. Store the gas cylinder correctly:
–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 buil-
dings.
Always store gas cylinders upright, even if they
are empty!
Connecting the gas cylinder
1. Connect the coupling nut of the pressure regula-
tor to the cylinder valve thread and tighten the
coupling nut by turning it anti-clockwise by hand.
2. Do not use any tools for this, as the cylinder valve
seal could be damaged in the process, resulting in
leaks.
3. Make sure that the pressure regulator and the gas
hose are securely connected.
4. Check to make sure the connection between the
gas hose and adjusting element, as well as the
connections between the gas hose are secure.
Make sure that the hose is not kinked or twisted in
any way and that it is not under tension.
5. Place the chain around the neck of the gas cylinder
and close the ends with the snap hook to secure
the gas cylinder against tipping over.
If you don't secure the gas cylinder with the chain,
the cylinder might tip when you move the bar-
becue, thus causing damage to the barbecue or
uncoupling gas lines.
6. Open the cylinder valve and use a standard leak
detector to make sure that all of the connections
are tight.
–Please observe the instructions for the leak indi-
Before starting
• Select a suitable, preferably wind-sheltered area
to set up the barbecue. Make sure that ...
–there are not, and will not be, any flammable
materials or substances nearby. The minimum
distance to flammable materials or substances
must be 2 m overhead and 1 m to the side of
the barbecue; the distance to flame-resistant
materials or substances must be at least 0.25 m.
–the barbecue is positioned firmly on a suffici-
ently large area. It must not be moved during
operation.
–Position the gas cylinder on the base of the
trolley below the barbecue.
–Never lay the gas cylinder on its side.
–Do not kink the gas hose or apply a tension to it.
• Make sure that the seal in the pressure regulator
is present and intact. Do not use any additional
seals.
• When connecting the gas cylinder ensure that the-
re are no sources of ignition within a 5 m radius.
Important note: to avoid the risk of spark-over, do
not to light naked flames, do not smoke and do
not actuate the switches of electric devices (appli-
ances, lights, door bells, etc.).
cator! Never check for leaks using a naked fla-
me. Listening for leaks is not a reliable method
of detection.
–If a leak is detected, close the cylinder valve
immediately and tighten the loose connection
or replace the leaking part. Repeat the leak
test.
7. If you do not wish to barbecue immediately, close
the cylinder valve.

Igniting the burners
Danger: gas deagration upon ignition
If unburned gas accumulates, deflagration can
occur when igniting.
Possible consequences:
• This can cause severe injury or damage.
Precautions:
• Do not lean over the barbecue when igniting
the gas flame.
• Never re-ignite immediately 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.
1. Open the lid on the grill unit.
Maintain the greatest possible distance from the
grill unit during the next few steps.
2. Press and turn the respective flame regulator (B
and C) anti-clockwise to the HIGH setting ("large
flame"). Keep it depressed in this position. Press
the ignition button (A).
3. Ignite the other burner on the grill unit. When
doing this repeat steps 2 and 3.
4. Close the lid of the grill unit and allow the barbe-
cue to heat up at full power.
The first time you use the barbecue, heat for some
20 minutes without food so that the food-safe
coating is hardened (as with any oven).
Once the barbecue is heated up, turn the flame
regulator (B) to the desired heat level (flame size).
7. You can now place your food on the grill. We
recommend that you wear barbecue mittens or
other suitable gloves for protection against the
heat.
To switch off the burners (to extinguish the ame)
press and turn the ame regulators (B und C) clock-
wise to "OFF".
The gas supply is only disconnected if all the ame
regulators have been set to OFF.

Cleaning
Barbecue
Danger: Risk of burns when cleaning the
hot barbecue
Some parts of the barbecue can get very hot.
Allow the barbecue to cool down sufficiently
before cleaning it. Wear protective gloves.
Caution: Spark plug on burner can be
bent
The spark plugs on the burner can be bent or
snapped off while cleaning the burner areas. In
this case, the gas in the burner will not ignite. For
this reason, clean the areas around the burners
with particular care.
To make sure that you enjoy your barbecue for many
years, you should always clean it after use – after
making sure that all the parts have cooled down –
with detergent, a brush and a cloth. It will be much
harder to do this later, once the dirt has dried.
Gas system
The gas outlet nozzles on the adjusters (underneath
the front panel) can be cleaned with a pin if neces-
sary.
Warning: Risk of re and explosion
All other parts through which gas is transferred
should only be cleaned by an expert.
Never dismantle the adjusting elements!

12
Miton PTS 3.1
Maintenance
The barbecue is maintenance-free. Nevertheless, you
should check it at regular intervals. The intervals
depend on how often it is used and the environmen-
tal conditions to which it is exposed.
Barbecue
• Inspect the burners for dirt and blockage. Particu-
larly make sure that both air inlets at the side of
each burner tube are clear. If necessary, clean the
inlets, e.g. with a pipe cleaner.
• A contaminated burner can impair the perfor-
mance of the barbecue and lead to a dangerous
ignition of gas outside the burner.
• Make sure that all parts of the barbecue are availa-
ble and assembled (visual check).
• Check to ensure that all connections are present
and securely fastened. Tighten if necessary.
• Please ensure you clean your barbecue after
every use. This is to prevent the accumulation
of fat which is the main cause of fat fires which
result in significant damage to the barbecue.
Gas system
The gas system needs to be checked every time a gas
cylinder is connected (see chapter "Connecting and
disconnecting the gas cylinder“).
If necessary, replace the hose to comply with the nati-
onal requirements.
Environmental information and waste
disposal measures
Pay attention to cleanliness when handling the bar-
becue.
To dispose of the barbecue properly, disassemble it
into its individual parts. Recycle the metal and plastic
components.
Observe the local regulations.
