SAFETY NOTICES

Risks of Injury

• The barbecue is not intended to be used by children and peo-ple with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or a lack of experience and/or knowledge.
• Children must not play with the barbecue. Ensure that chil-dren do not have unsupervised access to the barbecue, even when it is switched off. Incorrect use can be dangerous.
• WARNING: Accessible parts may be very hot. Keep young children away! Never leave the barbecue unsuper-vised when it is in operation or still hot. In particular, make sure that no children or persons who are not capable of cor-rectly recognising or reacting to possible dangers come near the hot barbecue.
• Wear barbecue gloves which have been inspected in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/425 for personal protective equip-ment in line with DIN EN 407 (heat protection category II).
• Do not touch any heated parts while or after using the bar-becue! Only ever touch the handles and control knobs while the barbecue is in operation or immediately after it has been switched off. Wait until the barbecue has cooled down before it is transported, cleaned or stored away.
• Do not move the barbecue during operation!
• Consuming alcohol or drugs may have a negative effect on your ability to assemble, move, store or operate the barbecue safely and properly.

Risks of Suffocation, Fire and Explosion

Gas is extremely flammable and burns explosively. Serious personal injury or damage to property may occur if escap-ing gas ignites in an uncontrolled fashion.
Liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than oxygen. It there-fore settles at the bottom and displaces the oxygen there. If a corresponding concentration of gas forms (e.g. if a gas cylinder is damaged), this may result in suffocation owing to a lack of oxygen.

• Only ever use the gas types, gas cylinders, pressure regula-tors and gas hoses which are specified in these assembly and operating instructions (see the “Requirements Placed on the Gas-Carrying Components” chapter).
• Only use the barbecue above ground level (i.e. do not use it in depressions below ground level).
• Use outdoors only. Do not use the barbecue in buildings, garages, covered passageways, tents, other enclosed areas, under awnings or flammable structures.
• Do not use the barbecue in or on a vehicle. This also applies to mobile homes, caravans and boats.
• Do not use the barbecue if there are highly flammable or explosive substances in the air or surrounding space. Do not store fuel or other flammable vapours or liquids near the bar-becue and do not use such substances with the barbecue. Do not spray any sprays close to the barbecue.
• Never use the barbecue without a pressure regulator (see the “Requirements Placed on the Gas-Carrying Components” chapter – “Pressure Regulator”)!
• Make sure that the pressure regulator is connected properly and in good working order and does not have any damage.
• Each time the gas cylinder is connected or when the barbecue has not been used for a prolonged period, perform a leak test on all gas-carrying components (see the “Leak Test” chapter). The barbecue must not be used if there is a gas leak.
• This device must be kept away from flammable materi-als during use. There is a risk of fire and a smouldering fire. The following minimum distances from flammable materials must be maintained: 2 m above and 1 m to the side of the barbecue. The distance from low-flammability materials, e.g. building walls, must be at least 0.6 m.
• While the barbecue is in use, neither the weatherproof cover nor any other flammable materials may be stored in the base cabinet either.
• When the gas cylinder is connected, there must be no ignition sources within 5 m of the barbecue, in particular no naked flames or burning cigarettes, candles, lamps, etc. Electrical de-vices may also pose a danger if gas escapes when the cylinder is connected.
• Never block up the ventilation openings of the barbecue unit and the gas cylinder installation space and make sure that they are always clear.
• Do not cover any openings of the barbecue and make sure that they are not blocked before the barbecue is put into operation. Like most devices that are used outdoors, the barbecue is a possible hiding place for spiders and insects. Any blockages in the gas-carrying components may impede the flow of gas, which may reduce performance or even result in a dangerous flashback. Remove blockages in the manner described in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” chapter.
• Never leave the barbecue unsupervised when it is in opera-tion. If a flame goes out, reignite it immediately or shut off the gas cylinder.
• If you smell gas, turn off the gas supply on the gas cylinder and extinguish all flames. Do not switch on any electrical devices. Find out the cause and fix the gas leak before you use the barbecue again.
• Make sure that foodstuffs containing oil and fats are not over-heated. Do not place any oil-filled vessels onto the barbecue. Do not extinguish a grease fire with water! Turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder immediately. Switch all burners off immediately and leave the lid closed until the fire has extin-guished.
• Turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder immediately after use.
• Do not cover the barbecue while it is still hot.
• Do not make any modifications to the device! Any modifi-cation to the device may be dangerous.
• Components which have been sealed by the manufac-turer or its agent must not be manipulated.
• Repairs may only be carried out by the manufacturer or customer service department in order to avoid any hazards. If you notice any damage or there is a fault, contact the customer service department (see the cover of these assembly and operating instructions). The barbecue must not be used until it has been repaired as a malfunctioning barbecue may increase the risk of injury.
• Use only original accessories from the manufacturer in order to guarantee that there is no interference that may prevent the barbecue from working and to avoid possible damage or hazards.
• Never remove a control knob, the gas cylinder or one of the gas-carrying components while the device is operating.
• Never transport the barbecue with a gas cylinder connected to it. The barbecue and gas cylinder must always be transport-ed separately from one another.
• Clean the barbecue regularly in the manner described in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” chapter.

Hazards from Gas Cylinders

• Note the specifications of the manufacturer or lender of the gas cylinder!

• A gas cylinder must be kept out of the reach of children!

• Never use a gas cylinder that is dented or rusty.

• Never use a gas cylinder with a damaged valve.

• Never lay a gas cylinder on its side. Always install, transport and store gas cylinders (even empty ones) in an upright, secure position.

• Never drop a gas cylinder. Do not subject it to impacts or damage it.

• Gas cylinders may explode if they are heated. Never burn a gas cylinder. Do not expose it to extreme heat (over 50°C) or direct sunlight either. Do not leave a gas cylinder in a car on a hot day. Make sure that neither the gas cylinder nor the gas hose touch the barbecue while in use.
  Gas cylinders may only be connected, used and stored in an outdoor space with good ventilation (i.e. not in stairwells, cor-ridors or passageways, for example) and above ground level (i.e. not in depressions below ground level).

• Move a leaking gas cylinder immediately to a well-ventilated space outdoors, allow the gas to escape and wait until it has dissipated. Then return the empty gas cylinder to the manu-facturer and tell it that it has a leak.
  If you feel dizzy or nauseous, breathe fresh air and seek medi-cal assistance if necessary.

• Always close the valve on the gas cylinder first before you disconnect the pressure regulator from the gas cylinder.

• Gas cylinders (including empty ones) which are not connected up for immediate use must not be stored directly next to an operating device that is being powered by gas or electricity.

• Even gas cylinders which appear to be empty may still contain liquefied petroleum gas and must therefore be handled with the same care as a full gas cylinder.

Hazards from Batteries

• Batteries can be deadly if swallowed. Batteries should there-fore be kept out of the reach of young children and animals. If a battery is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately. There is a danger of burns from battery acid.
• If the battery leaks. do not allow your skin, eyes and mucous membranes to come into contact with the battery acid. Wear protective gloves if necessary. If you do touch battery acid, rinse the affected areas with plenty of clear water straight away and seek medical assistance. There is a danger of burns from battery acid.
• Use only the battery type specified in the technical data.
• Remove batteries if they are used up or the barbecue is not being used for a long time. This will prevent any damage caused by leaks.
• Remove a battery that has leaked immediately and clean the contacts in the battery compartment.

REQUIREMENTS PLACED ON THE GAS-CARRYING COMPONENTS
The barbecue is operated using liquefied petroleum gas (LPG or LP gas). The LPGs propane, butane and their mixtures remain liquid at room temperature and low compression (< 10 bar) in a gas cylinder. When the gas cylinder is opened, the pressure escapes, the liquid expands and changes into a gas.

Gas Cylinder

• Only ever use gas cylinders containing propane or butane gas or a mixture of the two gases. The gas cylinders must meet the national regulations and must not be bigger than is speci-fied in the “Technical Data” chapter.

Gas Cartridge

• If the barbecue is approved for use with a gas cartridge, only ever use screw-on cartridges with a 7/16 “ thread and a maxi-mum capacity of 450 g / 800 ml.

Pressure Regulator
The pressure regulator ensures that the barbecue is always sup-plied with a consistent gas pressure.

• Use the pressure regulator that is supplied with the barbecue. It has been tested and is CE-certified. It complies with the European Standard EN 16129.
• If the barbecue has been supplied without a pressure regula-tor, purchase a pressure regulator that matches the gas cylin-der. Make sure that it complies with the national regulations.

Gas Hose

• Use the gas hose that is supplied with the barbecue. If the items supplied did not include a gas hose, purchase a gas hose that complies with the national regulations.
• The gas hose (or hose line) must be no longer than 1.5 m and must satisfy the specifications of the standard EN 16436-1.
• Note the national regulations and replace the gas hose if they require it or if the gas hose has exceeded the maximum use-by date.
• Before each use, make sure that the gas hose does not have any kinks or tears and is not worn. If the gas hose has a leak or is defective, the barbecue must not be put into operation.

NOTICES FOR ASSEMBLY

PLEASE NOTE

• Keep the packaging material away from young children and animals! There is a danger of suffocation.
• The assembly steps are shown at the end of these assembly and operating instructions. Follow them in the correct order. Incorrect assembly can be dangerous.
• Only use tools in perfect condition that fit properly. If you use a tool that is worn or does not fit, you will not be able to tighten the screws firmly enough, but you may also damage them so that they can no longer be turned.
• Ensure there is sufficient space to assemble the barbecue and if necessary use a mat to protect the barbecue or delicate floors from being scratched.
• Assemble the barbecue on a horizontal, flat surface to make sure it is straight.
• Do not apply any force when assembling the barbecue.
• First tighten the screw connections so they are hand-tight and then tighten them again once you have completed the assem-bly step. Otherwise this may cause unwanted tension.
• Tighten the nuts until they fit firmly, and then turn them a quarter turn more. Do not tighten them too hard!

INSERTING THE BATTERY INTO THE ELECTRIC IGNITION
Before you first use it, a 1.5 V battery (AA) needs to be inserted in the electric ignition

1. Twist the ignition button anticlockwise until it detaches.
2. Insert the battery in the battery compartment with its minus pole first or replace it if necessary.
3. Screw the ignition button back on.
   • Replace the battery if the ignition performance starts to wane.

CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER

PLEASE NOTE

• Before you connect the gas cylinder, note the “Requirements Placed on the Gas-Carrying Components” chapter.
• Only change the gas cylinder outdoors or in a well-ventilated space, away from ignition sources (e.g. candles, cigarettes, other devices that produce flames).
• All connecting pieces must be free of any dirt and not be damaged.
• The gas cylinder must not touch hot parts of the barbecue or be within range of the heat radiation.
• The gas hose must not be under strain, twisted or bent and must not touch the barbecue.
• When you have connected the gas cylinder, make sure that all connections are tight (see the “Leak Test” chapter). Only screw on the pressure regulator hand-tight! Do not use a tool so that the seal of the valve is not damaged, which would compromise the leaktightness.

If your barbecue has been supplied without a pressure regulator and a gas hose, if applicable, purchase them. When you do this, consider the national regulations and the specifications in the
“Requirements Placed on the Gas-Carrying Components” chapter – “Pressure Regulator” and “Gas Hose”.

1. Place the fully assembled barbecue in an outdoor space on a stable, horizontal and flat surface. Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides. When you are choosing where to set up, note the “Safety Notices” chapter.

2. If necessary, lock the lockable castors by twisting the wing nuts.

3. Fold up the side table and let it engage in the hinges at an angle of 90°.
   Lift it up slightly to fold it down.

4. All control knobs must be in the Off position (arrow on the control knob pointing upwards). If this is not the case, press the control knob and turn it to the Off position.

5. Place the gas cylinder upright securely on the ground next to the barbecue. The valve of the gas cylinder must be closed.

6. Make sure that the area around the barbecue and the gas cylinder are freely accessible and clear of any objects.

7. If the gas hose is not already attached to the barbecue,
   fix one end of the gas hose on the gas connection of the barbecue and, if required, fix the other end on the pressure regulator. The type of fixing depends on the country-specific design of the gas hose.

8. Connect the pressure regulator as described in the associated instructions. In the event that you do not have any instructions for the pressure regulator, a few of the different connec-tion variants are described below. COMMENT: The illustrations may differ slightly.

9. Perform a leak test after you have connected the gas cylinder (see the “Leak Test” chapter).

INFO: We recommend placing the gas cylinder next to the bar-becue while it is in use. However, the gas cylinder may be stored in the base cabi-net during and after use provided that it does not exceed the specified maximum dimensions (see the “Technical Data” chapter). Place the gas cylinder in the recess that is provided for it in the base plate.

Attaching the Pressure Regulator
Pressure Regulator with Left-Hand Thread

1. Screw the pressure regulator hand-tight onto the valve thread of the gas cylinder. Note that it is a left-hand thread and needs to be screwed anticlockwise.
2. To allow the gas to flow out and you to start operating the barbecue, turn the valve (a) on the gas cylinder anticlockwise. To close the valve, turn it clockwise.

Pressure Regulator with Lever

1. Move the lever of the pressure regulator (b) to the Off posi-tion.
2. Press the pressure regulator onto the gas cylinder valve until it clearly engages.
3. To allow the gas to flow out and you to start operating the barbecue, move the lever to the On position. To stop the gas supply, move the lever to the Off position.

Pressure Regulator with Sleeve

1. Move the lever of the pressure regulator (b) to the Off posi-tion.
2. Slide the sleeve of the pressure regulator upwards and hold it there.
3. Press the pressure regulator onto the gas cylinder valve and slide the sleeve downwards to close it.
4. If the pressure regulator does not engage, repeat the process.
5. To allow the gas to flow out and you to start operating the barbecue, move the lever to the On position. To stop the gas supply, move the lever to the Off position.

Pressure Regulator for Gas Cartridges
Only ever use gas cartridges with a screw thread.

1. Before you connect the gas cartridge, check whether the rubber seal on the pressure regulator is in place and in perfect condition.
2. Close the valve (c) on the pressure regulator.
3. Screw the gas cartridge onto the pressure regulator anticlock-wise from below.
4. To allow the gas to flow out and you to start operating the barbecue, open the valve (c). To stop the supply of gas, close it.

Removing the Pressure Regulator

1. Make sure that the valve of the gas cylinder or the pressure regulator is closed.
2. Open up the control knob of the barbecue so that the rest of the gas can escape from the system.
3. To remove the pressure regulator, perform the assembly steps in reverse order.

PLEASE NOTE: Never look for gas leaks using a naked flame! Before you check for leaks, make sure that there are no naked flames nearby and no sparks can form. Sparks or flames may trigger an explosion that can cause serious or even fatal injuries or material damage.

After you first connect it, each time you change the gas cylinder or if the barbecue has not been used for a prolonged period, the leak test must be performed on all gas-carrying components in order to ensure that gas is not escaping from any of them.
If your pressure regulator has a manometer, follow the instructions in the guide for the pressure regulator to carry out a leak test. To do this, use a standard leak detector agent and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Performing a leak test by listen-ing is not safe!

BARBECUE TIPS

1. Before you start barbecuing, get everything together that you will require. When you barbecue, you should always have an eye on the barbecue and the food being cooked and not need to keep going in the kitchen.

2. Before you cook meat, it should be at room temperature to ensure good, even cooking.

3. Use clean grill racks. The new food you are cooking will stick to any residues on the grill rack.

4. Food that has had a small amount of oil brushed on it will brown more evenly and stick to the grill rack less.

5. Rub oil onto grill racks before you barbecue so that the food being cooked does not stick.

6. Always preheat the barbecue with the lid closed so that the food being cooked does not stick to the grill rack and searing is possible. This will also burn off any residues from your last barbecue. Even if you want to cook on a medium or low heat, you should still preheat the barbecue.

7. Do not place too much food to barbecue on the grill rack. Leave a sufficient amount of space between the pieces so they can easily be picked up and moved.

8. If you are using a marinade, sauces or glaze with a high sugar content or other ingredients which burn easily, only spread them on in the last 10 to 15 minutes of barbecuing.

9. We recommend that when you barbecue you keep the lid closed. This reduces the risk of flash flames and ensures that your food is barbecued faster and more evenly. Do not open it too often to check on the food being cooked to prevent too much air getting in and heat and smoke escaping unnecessarily.

10. To make sure your steak has a great barbecue pattern and
    a delicious crust, you must not turn it too often. In most cases, the food being cooked should only be turned once, and only when it is the colour you want it to be. This will also prevent the lid being opened too much.

11. You can place food that has already been barbecued on the warming rack to keep it warm while you carry on barbecuing. Please note that it will continue to be cooked a little. In addition, you can use the warming rack to toast burger buns or gently cook vegetables, seafood, etc. while you grill meat, for example, on a high heat on the grill rack.

Direct vs. Indirect Grilling
Direct Grilling
This is the classic option in which the food being grilled is placed directly over the burner. The level of heat is therefore high. This means that this method is good for food with shorter cooking times of no more than 30 minutes and for quickly searing burgers or steaks, for example. It produces a delicious crust while the inside stays nice and juicy.

Indirect Grilling
This is where the heat comes from burners next to the food being cooked; the burner directly beneath remains switched off. At the same time, the lid is closed so that the heat cannot escape. We recommend this method of barbecuing for food with long cook-ing times such as spare ribs, pulled pork or whole poultry. But fish and vegetables can also be gently cooked in this way.
You can also combine both grilling methods: first sear the food hot and then finish cooking it gently.

USE

Putting the Barbecue into Operation

PLEASE NOTE!

• Burn off the barbecue with the grill racks and all accessories that come into direct contact with food before you first use them to remove any possible production residues. To do this, heat the barbecue on the highest level with the lid closed for at least 20 minutes. Clean the accessories once they have cooled down. Also note the “Cleaning and Maintenance” chapter.

• Only use the barbecue if all parts are in their designated place and the barbecue has been assembled properly in accordance with the assembly steps in these assembly and operating instructions.

• Each time before you use the barbecue, make sure that it
  is undamaged and has been set up correctly. When you are choosing where to set up, note the “Safety Notices” chapter.

• Before each use, make sure that the gas cylinder and the pressure regulator have been connected correctly and all gas-carrying parts are leaktight (see the “Connecting the Gas Cylinder” and “Leak Test” chapters).

• Check the barbecue for any grease deposits before each use. Remove excess grease and empty and clean all parts in the grease collecting system to prevent any grease fires (see the “Cleaning and Maintenance” chapter).

• Do not line the grease collecting system or barbecue chamber with aluminium foil or another type of foil.

• The lid must be open during the ignition process. Ignite each burner individually.

• If the flame goes out or a burner has not ignited, turn the cor-responding control knob to the Off position. Wait approx. 2 to 5 minutes before trying again to allow the gas to dissipate. Otherwise there may be a deflagration.

• When you are igniting the gas flame, do not bend over the grill surface as there may be a deflagration if gas builds up in the barbecue chamber.

• Never pour water onto the hot barbecue to avoid burns and scalding.

1. Open the lid.

2. Make sure that all control knobs are in the Off position (arrow on the control knob pointing upwards). If they are not, press the control knob and turn it to the Off position.

3. Open the gas supply on the gas cylinder.

4. Each burner is equipped with its own ignition system and so can be ignited individually: Press the control knob for the burner you want and turn it to the Max (maximum power) position (Picture G). The gas supply is activated.
   With a piezo ignition, a spark is also produced and this gener-ates a popping noise.
   With an electric ignition, also press the ignition button (Pic-ture I). You will hear a clicking noise.

5. Check whether the burner has been ignited: Look carefully to see whether flames are emerging from the burner.

6. If the burner has not ignited, turn the control knob to the Off position and try again after approx. 2 to 5 minutes.
   INFO: With a piezo ignition, only let go of the control knob a few seconds after ignition has taken place so that the flame does not go out.

7. Ignite the rest of the burners in the same way too. Barbecuing

PLEASE NOTE

• Hot steam may escape when the lid is opened. You should therefore keep your head and hands out of the danger zone. There is a danger of scalding.
• Use barbecue utensils with long, heat-resistant handles.

1. Preheat the barbecue once the burners have been ignited: Close the lid and wait until the temperature you want is dis-played on the thermometer in the lid.
   Once it has preheated, you can switch off the burners that you do not need. To do this, turn the control knobs to the Off position.

2. Open the lid and place the food to be barbecued on the grill rack or another accessory that you are using.

3. If you want to produce a high temperature in the barbecue chamber and the food should be cooked more evenly from all sides, close the lid.

4. Reduce the burner power if necessary by turning the control knob towards the Min (lowest power) position.

5. As soon as the food being cooked is as brown as you want it to be, turn it using barbecue tongs.

Taking the Barbecue Out of Operation

1. Shut off the gas supply on the gas cylinder.
2. Turn all control knobs to the Off position.
3. Allow the barbecue to cool down before you move it.
4. Clean the barbecue once it has cooled down (see the “Clean-ing and Maintenance” chapter). Excessive accumulations of food residues and cooking fat may cause what is known as a grease fire.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

PLEASE NOTE

• Allow all parts to cool down before you clean them until they are no longer hot and can be touched.
• Do not perform any cleaning on the valve of the pressure regulator! It contains very sensitive components which could be damaged even on slight contact with other objects. Do not immerse the pressure regulator in water.
• The gas system may only be cleaned by a qualified expert. Un-der no circumstances should you dismantle the controller unit.
• The inside of a burner must not get wet!
• Do not immerse the barbecue in water and do not hose it down. No liquid must get inside the gas-carrying or electrical components.
• Disconnect the gas cylinder before cleaning the barbecue housing.
• Never pour cold water onto hot parts. This may lead to burns and material damage.
• Never use spirits or other flammable or abrasive cleaning agents.
• The accessories supplied are not dishwasher-safe.
• All parts must be dry before they are used or stored away.

To allow you to enjoy using your barbecue for a long time, you should keep it clean. If it is not cleaned and maintained, it may not perform as well over time. Low temperatures and uneven heat distribution are indications that gas- carrying components should be cleaned. Food residues on the grill rack will cause the food being cooked to stick on. Grease deposits may cause a grease fire.

Cleaning the Grease Collecting System (After Each Use)

• Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents.

Empty and clean all parts of the grease collecting system
(grease tray or grease pan) after or before each use. Rinse the parts with warm water, detergent and a sponge. The easiest option is to clean them after use in a lukewarm (not hot!) condition.

Cleaning the Cast-Iron Grill Racks and Grill Plate (After Each Use)
You clean the grill plate in the same way as the grill rack:

1. Leave the grill rack in the barbecue and remove any coarse residues with a grill rack cleaning brush or a spatula.
2. You burn off the remaining residues as follows: Switch on the barbecue for approx. 30 minutes at the highest level (at least 300°C) and close the lid.
3. Allow the grill rack to cool down until you can touch it and brush off the residues. Then wipe it clean with a damp paper towel if necessary.
4. We recommend rubbing vegetable oil into the clean grill rack to maintain it and prepare it for your next barbecue.

Cleaning Enamelled Grill Racks, Warming Racks, Flame Tamers and Other Enamelled Parts

• Do not use abrasive cleaning agents or brushes with steel bristles.
  • Clean the grill and warming racks after every use, and clean the other components when necessary.
  • Use a plastic spatula to scrape off coarse residues or soak them in warm water.
  • Then use warm water with a little detergent and a sponge or soft cloth for cleaning.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Racks (After Each Use)

• Clean stainless steel racks with warm water, washing-up liquid and a sponge or stainless steel cleaning pad.

Cleaning the Barbecue Chamber (If Necessary)
During use, evaporated grease and smoke produces carbon which is deposited in the barbecue chamber.

• Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents.

1. Remove all food residues and deposits of grease throughout the barbecue chamber. You can do this using a plastic spatula, for example.
2. Then wipe the surfaces clean with a soft cloth. If there is heavier soiling, you can wash it off with warm water, deter-gent and a sponge and then wipe dry with a non-abrasive cloth.

Cleaning the Outsides (If Necessary)
The outsides of the barbecue consist of different materials and surfaces. We therefore recommend different cleaning methods depending on the type of surface.

Stainless Steel Surfaces

• Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and follow the man- ufacturer’s instructions. Do not use any abrasive pastes!
• Otherwise you can use warm water, a household cleaner and a sponge for cleaning. Then rinse the surfaces with clear water and dry them with a soft cloth.

INFO: If the barbecue is exposed to a particularly harsh environ-ment, the outside of the barbecue must be cleaned more frequently. In an environment containing chloride and sulphide, in particular in coastal regions, stainless steel may also oxidise or display spots. Salt water, acid rain, close proximity to pools and hot tubs and other extreme conditions characterised by great heat and humidity may cause spots to be formed. These spots are sometimes confused with rust.
They can easily be removed and avoided: Wash off the spots with warm water and a household cleaner, rinse the surface with clear water and dry it. Rub down all stainless steel surfaces every 3 to 4 weeks with tap water and a cleaning agent for stainless steel to prevent the formation of spots.

Painted, Enamelled Surfaces and Plastic Parts

• Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents.
• Only use warm water with a little household cleaner and pa-per towels or a soft cloth for cleaning. Clean the surface, rinse it down and wipe it dry.

Cleaning Gas-Carrying Components (If Necessary)
Gas-carrying components may become blocked and need to be cleaned if

• you smell gas and the burner flame is very yellow and weak.

• the temperature you want is not reached.

• the burner heats up unevenly or the flame flickers.
  Clean them as follows:

• Clean the whole of the outer surface of the burners with a clean wire brush to remove any food residues and dirt. When you are cleaning, make sure that the ignition electrode is not bent or damaged. Brush carefully around the ignition electrode.

• In particular, make sure that at each burner tube the gas outlet and air inlet openings or the venturi tube are clear. If necessary, clean them for example with a pipe cleaner or with compressed air.

• If you need to, you can clean the gas connection and the connections on the gas hose with a soft brush.

Maintenance Tasks

PLEASE NOTE!

• The nozzles may only be replaced by an expert.

The barbecue does not require maintenance if it is cleaned regu-larly. Despite this, it must be checked from time to time. Base the intervals on how often it is used and the environmental conditions under which the barbecue operates.

• Check whether all parts of the barbecue have been provided and are fitted (visual check).
• Check whether all connections have been provided and are securely tightened. Tighten them if necessary.
• The gas system must be checked each time that a gas cylinder is connected (see the “Leak Test” chapter).
• The gas hose must be replaced if it has leaky or damaged sec-tions or the maximum use-by date (see the “Technical Data” chapter) has been exceeded.

STORAGE

PLEASE NOTE!

• Protect the barbecue from strong wind, persistent moisture, rain, snow, hail or other weather conditions.
• If you are not going to use the barbecue for a prolonged pe-riod, disconnect the gas cylinder from the barbecue and store it properly (see the “Safety Notices” chapter – “Hazards from Gas Cylinders”).
  • Store the barbecue in a dry location outdoors. Cover the bar-becue (with a weatherproof cover) to protect the components from moisture, dust, insects or spiders which might get inside the barbecue and become established there.
  • Clean the barbecue before you store it away (see the “Clean-ing and Maintenance” chapter).
  • If the barbecue is stored indoors, it must be disconnected from the gas cylinder. Seal it shut properly with a locking nut and protective cap (depending on the design) and store it in a well-ventilated place outdoors above ground level (i.e. not in depressions below ground level).
  • Take the battery out of the electric ignition when you will not be using the barbecue for a prolonged period to prevent damage caused by a possible battery leak.

DISPOSAL

To dispose of the barbecue, dismantle it into its individual parts and recycle any metals and plastic.

Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that it can be recycled. The adjacent symbol (crossed-out bin underlined) means that used devices should not be disposed of in the domestic waste, but should instead be taken to special collection and return systems. Owners of used devices must remove from the used device any used batteries or rechargeable batteries which are not encapsulated by the used device and can be removed in a non-destructive way and dispose of them separately (see also the section on battery disposal). Owners of used devices from private households can take them free of charge to the collection points of the public waste disposal authorities or the disposal points which are set up by manufacturers and distributors under the Electrical Equipment Act. Businesses which market electrical and electronic devices are also obliged to take back used devices. (Rechargeable) batteries must not be disposed of along with the household waste. Consumers are legally obliged to dispose of (rechargeable) batteries separately. (Rechargeable) batteries can be handed in free of charge at a collection point of the local authority/district or in retailers so that they can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way and valuable raw materials can be recovered. If they are not disposed of properly, toxic ingredients may escape into the environment and cause harm to the health of humans, animals and plants. Only dispose of (rechargeable) batteries when they are discharged. If possible, use rechargeable batteries rather than single-use batteries. In the case of (rechargeable) batteries containing lithium, tape over the poles before you dispose of them to prevent a short circuit. A short circuit may cause a fire or explosion.
