Inserting the battery
Make sure to insert a battery into the appliance for automatic
burner activation. You need only one 1.5 V AA battery (not
included). Remove the battery compartment cover located
between the temperature controllers and insert a 1.5 V
AA battery into the battery compartment. Pay attention to
the correct polarity (+/-). The plus of the battery must point
outwards. Replace the battery compartment cover.
Connecting the gas cylinder
WARNING! Be aware of flashbacks!
Make sure there is no debris, spiders, small insects, or
webs inside the head of the gas cylinder, pressure regulator,
burner(s), burner tube(s), or hose before any connection is
made. They can obstruct the gas flow, which could result in a
fire in and around the burner tube. This kind of fire is known as
“flashback” and can cause serious damages. Check and clean
(refer to “Maintenance and cleaning” on page 19.) all the parts
of the appliance before assembling it, to reduce the chance of
its occurrence.
This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure
butane or propane gas and must be fitted with an appropriate
low-pressure regulator and a flexible hose. The gas hose
should be secured with appropriate hose clamps. This
appliance can be used with a regulator with butane/propane
gas pressure of 50 mbar by 28-30/37 and use a regulator
certified to UNE-EN 1286:2002. Please contact your LPG
dealer for more information regarding a suitable gas cylinder
regulator. This barbecue requires a commercially available
5 kg propane/butane gas cylinder. The cylinder must be
manufactured in accordance with an established European
Directive relating to gas cylinders. Dimensions of a 5 kg gas
cylinder are displayed in the following diagram:
Diameter: 230 mm
Note: Both the gas cylinder and the gas hose have left-hand
threads!
Regulator and hose
These accessories come complete with the gas barbecue.
Replacement parts can be purchased from your appliance
dealer or an authorized LPG dealer. Use only regulators
and hoses approved for LPG with the above pressures.
The estimated service life of the regulator is 2 years. It is
recommended that the regulator be changed within 2 years of
the date of manufacture.
NEVER use an unregulated gas supply.
The use of an inappropriate or defective regulator or gas hose
is dangerous. Always check that you have the appropriate
parts before using the barbecue.
The gas hose used must comply with relevant standards and
regulations of the country in which the appliance is used. The
length of the gas hose must not exceed 1.5 meters.
The gas hose must be replaced if damaged and when
national conditions require it. Contact your dealer for
replacement.
The hose must not be twisted or kinked. Make sure that the
gas hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any parts
of the gas barbecue other than its connection.
Appliance storage
Storage of an appliance indoors is only allowed without the
gas cylinder. When the barbecue is not to be used for an
extended period of time, it should be stored with a protective
cover in a dry and dust-free environment.
Gas cylinder
The appliance is supplied without a gas cylinder. The user
should order a gas cylinder separately. The gas cylinder must
not be dropped or handled roughly or improperly!
The gas cylinder must be removed from the barbecue when it
is not in use. Make sure to put the protective cap on the gas
cylinder after it has been removed from the appliance. Gas
cylinders must be stored separately from the appliance.
Gas cylinders must not be stored in premises below ground
level, in stairwells, passageways and carriageways of
buildings, as well as in their immediate vicinity. The valves
must be provided with protective caps and locking nuts. Gas
cylinders (including empty ones) must be stored in an upright
position.
Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors in an upright position
and out of the reach of children. Gas cylinders must never be
stored at temperatures exceeding 50 °C. Gas cylinders must
not be stored near open flames or other ignition sources.
Smoking in the vicinity of gas cylinders is strictly
prohibited!
Connecting to the appliance
Put the gas cylinder in the gas cylinder holder on the base
plate.
Warning!
The gas cylinder must be put in the gas cylinder holder. Never
put it elsewhere on the base plate. Do not keep another
gas cylinder in the cabinet. Before you start using the gas
barbecue, make sure the gas cylinder is in the gas cylinder
holder on the base plate in the cabinet.
Ensure that the heads of the gas cylinder, regulator or burner
are free from dirt prior to connecting the gas cylinder to
the appliance. There could be spiders and insects in there
blocking the openings of the burner or venturi. A blocked
burner can cause a fire underneath the barbecue. Clean
blocked burner openings with a sturdy pipe cleaner.
Warning! Hand-tighten one side of the gas hose onto the
pressure regulator thread and then tighten it firmly with a 17
size open-end wrench.
Warning, left-hand thread! Do not use an additional seal!
Hand-tighten the other side of the gas hose onto the valve
connection thread on the appliance. Then tighten it firmly with
a 17 size open-end wrench.
Warning, left-hand thread! Do not use an additional seal!
Attach the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder valve and
tighten by hand.
Follow the instructions supplied with the regulator.
Warning!
Check all connections for gas leaks before every use!
