Operating the gas barbecue
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS

• Do not smoke when handling the gas system. Do not place the gas cylinder in the vicinity of a naked flame.
• Only use the gas barbecue outdoors. Make sure that the gas barbecue is protected from the wind.
• Protect the barbecue from rain, moisture, water splashes, etc.
• Place the gas barbecue on a level, stable and fireproof surface.
• Protect the gas cylinder from direct sunlight.
• Before operating the appliance, always check the hose and the pressure regulator for cracks and damage
• Do not operate the gas barbecue if the pressure regulator, hose or gas cylinder are defective or if they are not sealed.
• Insects often build nests in the pipes of the burner. Before operating the burner, always check it for foreign objects. Remove foreign objects with a brush (bottle brush, pipe cleaner).
• Do not ignite the gas flame with a naked flame. To ignite, use the electrical ignition that is installed in the appliance.
• In order to protect against gas that flows out by accident, the cylinder valve on the gas cylinder should only be opened when the gas barbecue is operational. After you shut off the barbecue grill, always make sure that you shut the cylinder valve.
• Whilst operating the appliance, make sure that you maintain a safe distance from combustible and heat sensitive materials. The distance should not be less than 1 m.

• In the case of a fault, shut the valve of the gas cylinder.
• Before changing the position of the barbecue it must be switched off, the valve of the gas cylinder must be shut and the gas cylinder must be removed from the bottom part of the barbecue in order to protect the pressure regulator and the hose.

Servicing the gas barbecue
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION

• Repairs and servicing of the gas system should only be carried out by authorised experts. Do not carry out any changes to the gas barbecue or the pressure regulator.

• Replace the pressure regulator after at least 2 years and the hose after 5 years, even if there are no visible external signs of damage.
  Make sure that the pressure regulator is approved for the gas that is used and is set to the correct output pressure (see Technical data). A new hose should not be longer than 1.5 m.

• Together with oil, gas forms an explosive mixture. Never attempt to free stiff valves and control knobs with oil or penetrating oil.

Action when fighting fires

• Move persons who are standing around to a safe place! If possible, close the valve of the gas cylinder. Cool the gas cylinder with water. At the same time, ensure your own safety! Spontaneous and explosive re-ignition is possible.
• Only extinguish leaking, burning gas if you cannot stop gas from escaping. All extinguishers can be used.

First aid measures
– Measures after inhaling gas

• High concentrations can cause suffocation. Symptoms can include loss of mobility and consciousness. The victim does not realise the suffocation are suffocating. Low concentrations can result in dizziness, headaches, nausea and coordination problems.
• Bring the patient into the open air. Inform a doctor or the emergency services. In the event that the patient stops breathed, perform artificial respiration.

Measures following major burns or scalding

• There is a risk of hypothermia and shock. Call the emergency services straight away!
• Extinguish any burning clothing with water straight away or smother the flames with a thick blanket.
• In the case of scalding: Remove clothing straight away.
• In the case of burns: Keep clothing on the body.
• Cool with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain eases.
• Cover the affected area with a sterile Metalline bandage (for burns). Apply the side coated with Metalline to the wounded skin and loosely fix with a gauze bandage or a triangular cloth.

 Gas Connection

General information
The barbecue can be operated with gas cylinders weighing between 5 kg and 11 kg. Low pressure butane, propane and LPG gas mixtures are approved.
Your barbecue works best with propane gas and LPG mixtures. Butane can be used, on account of the power rating of the appliance, the gas cylinder may however freeze. As a result of this, the gas pressure drops and your barbecue does not provide full power.
Use a regulator which is certified in accordance with DIN EN 12864:2001.
NOTE: For information concerning the correct regulator for gas cylinders, please consult your LPG dealer.

Regulator and hose
These parts are supplied with the barbecue. You can obtain spare parts from your dealer or an approved LPG supplier. Only use hoses and regulators at the pressure stated above which are approved for LPG. Normally, the service life of a regulator is 2 years. It is recommended that the regulator is replaced within 2 years of the production date.
WARNING:

• The hose that is used must correspond to statutory regulations.
• The use of unsuitable hoses and incorrect regulators is dangerous.
• Before operation, make sure that you use the correct parts.

Connecting the gas cylinder
A connection is established via a flexible hose and the correct low pressure regulator.
The low pressure regulator should be fitted onto the gas cylinder.

1. Remove the protective cap and the thread protector on the gas cylinder.
2. Select a suitable wrench and tighten the coupling nut (attention: left thread) of the low pressure regulator on the gas cylinder hand-tight.
3. Select a suitable wrench and tighten the coupling nut (attention: left thread) of the hose on the low pressure regulator hand-tight.

Connecting the appliance
Spider’s webs and insects can block the burner or pipe. Before connecting, make sure that the burner and the burner ports are clean.
The gas connection is located between the two pipes of the burner.

• Select a suitable wrench and tighten the coupling nut (attention: left thread) of the hose on the barbecue.

The screw connections of the hose must be securely connected to the appliance and the low pressure regulator.
Finding areas with a bad seal
WARNING: Before use, check to make sure there are no areas with a bad seal.

• Never look for sections with a bad seal using a naked flame.
• Use a leak detection spray or soapy water. Sections with a bad seal soon become apparent in soapy water. You need approx. 50 ml in a mixing ratio of 1:3 (liquid soap : water).

1. Make sure that all adjustment knobs are in the 12 o’clock position (OFF).
2. Once you have connected all components as described above, turn the gas on.
3. Spread the soapy water on the hose and all connections. If bubbles appear at a particular point, the section has a bad seal and it must be repaired before use. 4. Repeat the test after the repair. 5. After the test, shut the valve on the gas cylinder. If you find a section with a bad seal that you cannot repair, refer the problem to a gas technician

Operating the Gas Barbecue

The gas barbecue is a multifunctional appliance. With the hood closed, you can use your gas barbecue like an oven.

• You don’t have to only barbecue meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, you can also cook them.
• With a closed hood, the temperature should not be allowed to get too high. A low temperature results in gentle cooking of the barbecue food.
• Monitor the temperature on the thermometer and if necessary, adjust it.
• The following applies as a rule of thumb: If smoke emerges from a closed hood, the temperature is too high!
