Danger: gas is highly flammable
Liquid gas is highly flammable and explosive.
Possible consequences:
• Serious personal injury 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.)
(spark-over possible).
• 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 burners as deflagration can occur if
gas has accumulated.
For the same reason, never re-ignite immedia-
tely if the flame goes out, instead:
–Set the flame regulator (A, 5 x B or 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 "Operati-
on" section).
Residual risks
Danger: hot surfaces and parts
During operation, some parts of the barbecue can
get very hot, particularly those near the burner.
Possible consequences:
• Severe burns from touching parts near the
burners.
• Fire or smoldering fire if flammable materials
or substances are near the barbecue.
Precautions prior to barbecuing:
• When setting up the barbecue, make sure that
–There are not, and will not be, any flam-
mable materials or substances nearby. Mini-
mum 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.
–The barbecue is positioned firmly on a suf-
ficiently large area. Secure the barbecue
against rolling away by applying the par-
king brakes on the two right rollers. The
barbecue must not be moved during ope-
ration..
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.
