Connecting the Gas Bottle

This BBQ is suited only for low-pressure butane/propane gas and must be equipped with a suitable low-pressure regulator and a flexible hose. The gas hose must be connected with suitable hose clamps. This BBQ is intended to operate a 28-30 mBar regulator with butane/propane gas. Use a suitable regulator that is certified according to BSEN 12864:2001. Inquire about suitable regulators for gas bottles at your LPG gas supplier. For the operation of this BBQ, you require a commercially available 5 kg bottle of propane/butane gas.
Please note: The gas bottle and gas hose have a left-hand thread.

Regulator and Hose
These accessory parts are supplied with the gas BBQ. Replacements are available at your BBQ distributor or an authorised LPG gas supplier. Use only regulators and hoses that are certified for LP gas with the pressure values mentioned. The lifespan of the regulator is approximately 2 years. It is recommended that the regulator be exchanged within 2 years from the production date. The use of an incorrect or defective regulator and gas hose is dangerous. Before each use of the gas BBQ, check that the correct parts are being used. The gas hose used must conform to the regulations and provisions of the country in which the BBQ is being used. The length of the gas hose must not exceed 1.5 metres. Worn or damaged hoses must be exchanged immediately. The hose must be connected without twists or bends. Ensure that the gas hose is not bent or constricted and that it does not come into contact with the gas BBQ, with the exception of the hose connection.

Storing the BBQ
The gas BBQ must only be stored indoors, once the gas bottle has been removed. If the BBQ is not being used for an extended period of time, it should be covered with a protective hood and stored in a dry and dust-free environment.

The Gas Bottle
A gas bottle is not supplied with this BBQ. The gas bottle must be provided by the end user. Do not drop your gas bottle or handle it roughly or inappropriately. When the BBQ is not being used, the gas bottle must be separated from the BBQ. Fit the gas bottle with its protective cap once it has been disconnected from the BBQ. The gas bottle must be stored separate from the BBQ. The storage of gas bottles is not permitted in underground spaces, in stair wells, passageways and thoroughfares of buildings, or in their immediate vicinity. The valves must be fitted with valve protection caps and lock nuts. Gas bottles – including empty ones – must be stored upright. Gas bottles must be stored outdoors in an upright position and out of reach of children. The gas bottle must not be stored in areas in which the temperature exceeds 50ºC. Do not store the gas bottle nears flames or other flammable sources. Do not smoke in the vicinity of gas bottles!

Connection to the BBQ
Place the gas bottle next to the BBQ on the floor. Before the gas bottle is connected to the BBQ, you must ensure that there is no dirt in the heads of the gas bottle, the regulator, or the burner. Spiders and insects can get in there and thus block the burner or the venturi tube at the opening. A blocked burner can cause a fire underneath the BBQ. Clean blocked burner openings using a sturdy pipe cleaner. Warning! Attach one hand of the gas hose to the thread of the pressure regulator and tighten by hand; then, using a 17-mm jaw spanner, tighten it firmly. Attention left-hand thread! Do not use any additional seal! Attach the other end of the gas hose to the thread of the valve connection on the BBQ, tightening by hand. Then tighten it firmly with the help of a 17-mm jaw spanner. Attention left-hand thread! Do not use any additional seal! Connect the pressure regulator to the gas bottle valve, tightening it by hand. Follow the instructions included with the regulator.
Warning! Prior to use test all connections for gas leaks. Always perform the test using soapy water. Never use an open flame to detect leaks.

Checking for Gas Leaks

Mix one part dishwashing liquid with 3 parts water. For testing, approx. 50 ml of soapy water is needed.
Ensure that all temperature regulators are set to  (off).
Connect the regulator with the gas bottle and turn on the burner using the left temperature regulator. Ensure that the connections are securely made.
Turn on the gas intake.
Apply the soapy water to the hose and to all connections. If bubbles appear, a leak is present.
Fix the leak and then start the test again.
Switch off the gas once the test has been concluded.
If a leak is found and it cannot be repaired, do not attempt to repair the leak further. In this case, contact a professional.
Do not use the BBQ until the leak has been properly repaired

Setting up the BBQ

Attention

Check the stability of the screws prior to each use. If necessary, tighten all of the screws again to ensure the BBQ is standing securely.
When using the grill, please protect the floor and surrounding walls from possible soiling e.g. through grease splashes.
Before use, place the BBQ on an even, sturdy surface outdoors.

Before grilling

Wash off possible rough production residues using warm water; in doing so, avoid the use of cleaning agents or dishwashing liquid.
Rub the BBQ grate in with cooking oil using a soft cloth.
Pre-firing
Before barbecuing for the first time, heat up the BBQ for a min. 15 minutes with a closed lid and high flame without food. The heat cleans the internal parts and burns away the finishing residues of coloured BBQ parts. In the process, odours and some smoke may develop. However, this is harmless and only lasts a short time. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Pre-heating
It is recommended to preheat the grill for about 10-15 minutes before each use.

Operation

Before grilling for the first time, heat the appliance for at least 15 minutes with the lid closed and over a high flame without any food to be grilled. The internal parts are cleaned by theheat and residues from the manufacture of coloured device parts are burned. This can result in smells and slight smoke development. However, this is harmless and only lasts for a short time. Make sure there is adequate ventilation.
Keep sufficient distance from the hot parts, since any contact can lead to severe burns.
Always wear oven or BBQ gloves when grilling. (Glove Category II with regard to heat protection, e.g. DIN-EN 407)
Use only long-handled utensils with heat-resistant grips.
Do not wear any clothing with wide sleeves.
Check the BBQ for cracks, cuts or other damage, before using it.
Do not use the BBQ any more if the gas hose is damaged or porous.
Open the lid of the BBQ before firing up the burner. An explosive flash may otherwise result, which can cause severe physical injuries and even death.

Ignition system – ignition with a piezo igniter

Open the lid of the BBQ before turning on the burner.
Set the temperature regulators to (off).
Open the gas bottle valve. Do not lean over the grill surface.
Press and hold the temperature control on the grill and turn it counterclockwise to the large flame (Max) position.
A click can be heard. This indicates that the device is igniting. Repeat this 4 to 5 times or until the flame burns. Repeat the process if the flame does not burn immediately.
Important! If the burner does not ignite, press the temperature control and turn it to the (off) position. Also turn off the cylinder valve on the gas cylinder. Wait 5 minutes and either repeat the process or light the burner conventionally with a match.
When the burner has ignited, turn a second temperature control to the large flame position (Max), if necessary. The burner ignites automatically.
To switch off the BBQ, turn the regulator on the gas bottle to the “Off” position. Then turn the temperature regulator on the BBQ to  (off).

Conventional Ignition with Match

Open the lid of the BBQ before turning on the burner.
Set all temperature regulators to (off).
Connect the regulator with the gas bottle. Turn the gas intake on the regulator to the On setting. Do not bend over the BBQ surface. With the aid of soapy water, check if leaks are present between the gas bottle and the regulator.
Push down the left temperature regulator and at the same time turn it counter-clockwise to the HIGH position.
Stick a burning, commercially available chimney match (extra-long) from below through the large hole in the base of the fire bowl into the vicinity of the burner.
Consult your distributor in order to remedy the ignition problem on the BBQ.

Cooking with the Lid Closed
Gas BBQs with lids enable gentle cooking of larger pieces of meat and entire fowls, similar to an oven. With a closed lid only a flame is necessary. Set the temperature to a small or medium flame and close the lid. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEATING OF THE BBQ. Unnecessary opening of the lid allows heat to escape each time and thus lengthens the cooking time. You should therefore avoid opening the lid unnecessarily.

Concluding barbecuing
As soon as the food has been prepared, the BBQ should be allowed to burn for 5 minutes on a high flame. Residues on the burner are thus burned away and cleaning is made easier. Make sure that during this process the lid is opened.

Turning off the BBQ
To switch off the BBQ, turn the regulator on the gas bottle to the “Off” position. Then turn the temperature regulator on the BBQ to  off. Wait until the BBQ has cooled down sufficiently before closing the lid.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Your grill is made of high-quality materials. Protect your grill from varying weather conditions. Clean the BBQ after each use. To clean and maintain the surfaces, please heed the following instructions:

After each use, let the BBQ burn for approx. 5 minutes without any food on it. This reduces the food residues.
Set the regulator on the gas hose to the Off position, before starting to clean the BBQ.
Remove the BBQ grate and clean it thoroughly in soapy water. Rinse it with clean water and then dry it off thoroughly.
Use a wet sponge to remove loose residue from the grill.
If a grease layer has formed on the internal surface of the lid, this can be cleaned off using a strong, hot soapy solution. Then rinse with clean water and dry completely before using the BBQ again.
Warning! Never use commercially available oven cleaners!
Food residues on the base of the BBQ can be removed with a brush, spatula, or cleaning sponge. Then wash again with soapy water. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Clean the internal and external surfaces using warm soapy water.
Use a soft, clean cloth for drying. Do not scratch the surfaces when wiping them dry.
Tighten all screws before every use to guarantee the stability of your BBQ at all times.
If the gas BBQ is not being used, it should be covered with a protective hood.
If necessary, the lava stones can be cleaned with detergent and water

Cleaning the burner

Turn the regulator on the gas bottle to the Off position. Then set the temperature regulator on the BBQ to  (off) and disconnect the gas hose from the gas bottle.
Remove the BBQ grate.
Clean the burner with a soft brush or with pressurised air. Then wipe it down with a cloth.
Clean blocked openings with a sturdy pipe cleaner, a wire or with the opened end of a paperclip.

Cleaning the Ignition Head

If it becomes difficult to ignite the flame, this may be due to the fact that the tip of the ignition head is soiled. In this case it needs to be cleaned. The ignition tip is located directly next to the burner.
To ensure perfect functioning, food residues between the ignition tip and the burner must be removed. Use a steel / brass brush, for example, to remove impurities from the ignition tip.
The ignition tip should be approx. 4 – 5 mm away from the burner edge. This is the ideal distance for reliable ignition.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You may have acquired a protective hood for your BBQ. In order to protect your investment, it is recommended that a BBQ protective hood is always used when the BBQ is not in operation. However, please ensure that the protective hood is only put on once the BBQ has cooled down and is clean and dry. The use of a protective hood may be required. Caution! A protective hood that is placed on a warm, wet, or unclean BBQ can lead to heavy corrosion. For this reason, the BBQ should always have cooled down and be cleaned of surface dirt and thoroughly dried before the protective hood is placed on it. This is particularly important when the BBQ is not going to be used for an extended period of time and, for example, stored over winter. In order to preserve the quality of this gas BBQ for a long time, the owner should ensure that these care and maintenance instructions are followed precisely. Take care of your investment and it will serve you well for years to come.
