After the flame is extinguished, remove the cannister and check the condition of the seal; replace the seal if in doubt. Re-light the appliance.
Should the flame persistently light back, return the product to your authorized repair agent.

Leaks

If there is a gas leak on your appliance (smell of gas), immediately turn off the gas supply by turning the control knob clockwise to the “OFF” position and take it into a flame free location where the gas leak may be detected and stopped. If you wish to check for gas leaks on your appliance, do it outside. Do not try to detect gas leaks using a flame; use soapy water.

How to check the appliance is connected to the gas supply in a sound fashion

It is important that all gas connections have been correctly connected to prevent any gas leaks.
The correct way is to smear the joint, i.e. where the gas container connects to the appliance, with soapy water. Turn the appliance control knob slightly anti-clockwise to turn the gas on. If bubbles form, then there is a gas leak. Immediately turn the gas off and disconnect the gas supply from the appliance. Check that all the connections are properly fitted. Check that the seal is in place and in good condition before connecting the gas supply. Re-check with soapy water after refitting the gas supply.
If a gas leak persists, return the product to your local dealer for inspection/repair.

Assembling the appliance

Assembly

WARNING: The legs are spring loaded. Opening and closing of the legs must be done in a controlled manner to avoid personal injury or damage to your Safari Chef.
To open the legs, turn the unit upside-down and hold the legs down while lifting each leg individually (Fig. 2c). You will hear a “click“ if the leg(s) has located correctly (Fig. 2a).
To fold the legs back, securely hold the leg and push the leg release clip down (Fig. 2b). Then push the legs in-ward to its closed position (Fig. 2c). This needs to be done sequentially to optimize space. First the right front leg (1), then the left front leg (2), and lastly the rear leg
(3) (as seen in Fig. 2d).

Fitting and Changing the Gas Supply

Connecting the gas supply

Before connecting the appliance to a gas cartridge, ensure that the rubber seal on the regulator is in position and in good condition.
Before connecting the gas cartridge, check that the appliance control knob is in the “OFF” position. (See fig 3)
Carry out this check each time you fit the appliance to a gas cartridge.
Blow out any dust from the gas supply opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.
Ensure that the gas cartridge) is fitted in a well-ventilated location away from any source of ignition, such as naked flames and away from other people.
Make sure that the gas cartridge is kept upright at all times, connect to the cylinder by screwing on hand tight until fully engaged.
Ensure that a complete gas seal has been made (check for the smell of gas around the connection joint). Do not check for leaks with a naked flame. Use warm soapy water only, applied to the joints and connections of the appliance. Any leakage will show up as bubbles around the leakage area.
If you cannot rectify the gas leak do not use the appliance. If you are in doubt, contact your nearest stockist.
Making sure that the gas cartridge is kept upright, screw the cartridge into the valve in a clockwise direction until it is fully engaged (Fig. 4a), hand-tighten only. If the cartridge is over-tightened, it may damage the cartridge valve. Your appliance is now ready for use. Disconnecting the gas supply
Check that the burner is extinguished before disconnecting the gas cartridge.
To disconnect the gas cartridge, unscrew the cartridge in a counter clockwise direction from the valve keeping the appliance in vertical position. (See Fig 4b)
Check the seal before replacing the gas cartridge (Fig. 4c).
When operating this appliance, please take care to ensure that all parts are in good working order and that you have checked for any gas leaks before lighting the appliance with every use.
Cooking surfaces can simply be placed and are ready to use. No assembly required.
PLEASE NOTE: Please ensure all protective packaging and plastic are removed from the appliance before use.
The appliance is designed for use with cooking vessels of not less than 6” in diameter and not greater than 12” in diameter.

Precautions to observe before lighting.

Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.
After prolonged storage, inspect the appliance for any insects and webs, which may affect gas flow.

Lighting the appliance using the piezo

It is recommended to remove any cooking surfaces when trying to light the appliance. This way it will be easy to see the burner when it is lit.
To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push and turn the control knob to its highest setting in an anti-clockwise direction, then press the piezo button to ignite the gas. If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, turn the control knob back to its “OFF” position. Try again, by pushing and turning the control knob anti-clockwise and push the piezo button to ignite the gas. If the gas has not ignited in the first two to three seconds you should close the control valve by turing the control knob back to its “OFF” position.
Wait approximately thirty seconds to let any accumulated gas within the burner escape. Repeat the above process if necessary until the flame ignites. The flame should normally light up within the first one to two seconds.

Lighting up using a BBQ lighter

When starting cold, the appliance may be lit from the top prior to fitting the desired cooking surface. When lighting up a hot appliance, it is recommended that this be done by sticking a barbecue lighter through one of the vent holes underneath the burner, until it is in line with the burner (DO NOT place the BBQ lighter through the large hole directly underneath the burner). Ignite the BBQ lighter. Whilst the BBQ lighter is lit, push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to light the burner.

General

Once the appliance is lit, the flame intensity may be adjusted by turning the control knob clockwise to reduce the flame or anti-clockwise to increase the flame.
When cooking food with a high fat content, flaring may occur if the selected heat setting is too high. Should this happen, turn the heat down until the flaring ceases.
Do not move the appliance when in use. It is unsafe practice to move the appliance whilst lit and may cause flaring.
After use, first close the control valve on the gas cylinder (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the control valve on the appliance.

The following surfaces are not included and are sold seperately:

GreenGrill Cooking Options

GreenGrill Cooking

Most of the cooking surfaces have our GreenGrill coating.
This ceramic coating is completely PFOA-free; it is made of organic materials and therefore contains no toxic substances. GreenGrill guarantees healthier cooking!

PREPARATION & USE

‘Seasoning’: before using the cooking surface for the first time, you can season it to give the cooking surface a thin protective layer that prevents food from sticking. It is not required but we do recommend it. It’s very easy: lightly rub cooking oil on the surface and then place over medium heat for 2 – 3 minutes. When it cools, wash the cooking surface with soapy water before use and grease it lightly with some oil (cooking oil of your choice, e.g. sunflower oil).

It’s ready to go!

Note: GreenGrill coating conducts heat better than products with a regular (PTFE) non-stick coating. We therefore recommend using only 75% of the power of what you are used to.
Never leave the cooking surface on the heat source without oil. Apply a thin layer of oil with a kitchen paper towel or a brush before placing the cooking surface on the heat source. Make sure you have oiled all parts, so with e.g. a BBQ grid include the raised edges as well.
We recommend frying in sunflower oil or Rapeseed Oil because of the high burning point. Olive oil can have a relatively low burning point, which can cause the ingredients to stick to the pan or burn. We therefore do not recommend using olive oil.
Tip: bring meat or fish to room temperature before frying. This will prevent sticking to the cooking surface.
Always use silicone and/or wooden utensils so that the GreenGrill coating is not damaged. Never use metal utensils as this can damage the coating.

CLEANING

Let the cooking surface cool down before cleaning. Extreme temperature changes can cause deformation of the cooking surface.
The GreenGrill coating is ‘Easy Clean’. Warm soapy water with a soft sponge is sufficient for cleaning the cooking surfaces with GreenGrill coating. Avoid scouring pads or steel wool.
If the cooking surface has food particles remaining from a previous use they can adhere to the coating, which can lead to brown spots. In these places, ingredients can stick to the cooking surface because the coating is no longer reached. Make sure that these spots are properly removed before use.
For stubborn stains or residues, you can try soaking overnight in hot soapy water making use of our convenient Soft Soak or use the ‘vinegar method’ for the paella pan or chef pan: pour a layer of vinegar into the pan and heat the pan slightly. The vinegar does not have to boil and should certainly not evaporate completely. Pour the vinegar out of the pan, clean the pan with soapy water and the pan is as good as new. Note: heating vinegar can give off an unpleasant smell.
When using the Soft Soak, we recommend placing the cooking surface face down which allows for
maximum soaking and also uses less water.
Dry with a soft cloth and you’re done!

MAINTENANCE

We recommend to add a little oil to the cooking surface after cleaning and spread it with kitchen paper.
The oil seals the surface from the outside air and moisture. It also ensures that the food does not burn into the surface.
Place the cooking surface in a plastic bag before you put it into its storage bag so you are ensured the storage bag remains clean and oil free.
The storage bag prevents damage to the GreenGrill coating and your product.

Cooking Options

These are the available cooking options.
Grilling: This cooking option is ideal for fat-free grilling of chicken, sausages, chops, kebabs, fish or vegetables. For this type of cooking, use the grill plate.
Caution: Please note that when cooking fatty meats some fat will splatter onto the unit which may cause flare-ups. Please use caution when handling such meats. The cooking temperatures are easily adjusted to suit your own requirements by turning the control knob to regulate the degree of heat.
Frying: This option is ideal for stir-fries, fish, breakfast, pancakes, prawns, paella and vegetables. For this type of cooking, use the flat grill. Please note that being a shallow pan, it is not suitable for deep-frying. The easy clean surface encourages the minimum use of fat for healthy cooking.
Boiling: For this type of cooking, place the pot stand in its locator grooves ensuring that it is properly seated. Place a suitable pot (not less than 6” diameter and not more than 12” diameter). One liter of water will boil in approximately 6 minutes depending on the conditions, size of pot used, etc.
Note: When using small sized pots do not attempt to use pots with plastic handles as these can get extremely hot.
Paella: This cooking option is ideal for preparing paellas, risottos, pasta dishes, traditional breakfasts etc. The Paella Pan is made from a high quality pressed aluminium which allows for excellent heat distribution and retention.
Coffee: This option is ideal for brewing a hot cup of coffee. Ideal for anytime, anywhere.

Cleaning

Allow the appliance to cool down before you clean it.
Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of soapy water to clean exterior surfaces.
The grill plate is coated with a tough durable ceramic non-stick coating that has been used with great success on some of the best cookware in the world. Never the less, taking care of it can help you to enjoy extra years of healthy, easy, non-stick cooking.
Whilst the ceramic non-stick coating is very durable, it can easily be damaged by the use of metal cooking utensils. It is therefore recommended that only plastic or wooden utensils be used when cooking.
Always allow the grill/flat plate to cool before immersing it in water.
Make sure that no water gets onto the burners or pilot/light area. Wipe the appliance completely dry before use.
Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surfaces.
Clean the appliance after each use. After cleaning recondition the cooking surface with a light wipe of oil.
Do not use any high-pressure steam equipment or a water jet to clean the appliance.
Note: For stubborn stains, CADAC oven cleaner may be used.

Storage

Always allow the unit to cool down and be cleaned before storing.
Turn off the gas supply to the appliance, disconnect and remove the gas supply from the appliance.
Never store an appliance with the gas supply connected, this is an unsafe practice.
Store the appliance and gas supply in a well-ventilated area away from combustible material. Storage of cylinders should preferably be outdoors and must NOT be in a basement.

Maintenance & troubleshooting

Maintenance

If you clean and maintain your appliance on a regular basis, the life of your appliance will extend and the possibility of problems will decrease.
We recommend the service of your appliance to be every twelve (12) months by a service agent to ensure continued efficient operation.
This appliance must only be serviced by an authorized person.
Check your gas hose and connections regularly for any signs of leaks and every time the gas cylinder is re-filled or fitted to the appliance with every use.

Troubleshooting

In the case of a spattering flame or jet blockage:

Clean your burner ports in case of an over spill.
We recommend to clean or replace the jets every six (6) months to ensure continued efficient operation of your appliance.
Should the appliance operate abnormally after storage and all checks have not isolated the problem, the jet may be blocked. A blocked jet would be indicated by a weaker yellowish flame or no flame at all in extreme cases. Under these circumstances it will be necessary to remove and check and thoroughly clean out any foreign matter which may have gathered in the appliance.
This may be done by removing the jet using standard tools and blow any dirt from the jet, alternatively, you may purchase new jets from your local store. Do not attempt to clean the jet mechanically.

Replacing a blocked jet

Your appliance is fitted with a specific size jet to regulate the correct amount of gas.
Should the hole in the jet become blocked, this may result in a small flame or no flame at all. Do not attempt to clean the jet with a pin or other such device as this may damage the orifice, which could make the appliance unsafe.
T o replace the jet: Remove the fat pan (Fig. 6). Gently unscrew the burner assembly (Fig. 7). Remove the three screws from the heat shield plate and remove the heat shield (Fig. 8), taking care not to damage the piezo electrode. The jet can now be removed using a suitable spanner (Fig. 9). Do not use pliers on the jet as this may
damage the jet, making it unusable or impossible to
remove. Screw the new jet into the valve. Do not over-
tighten as this may damage the jet.
Reverse the above procedure to re-assemble the unit.

Spares and Accessories

Always use genuine spares as they have been designed to give optimum performance.
