FIRST-AID MEASURES
What to do in case of gas inhalation

• Inhaling high gas concentrations can lead to suffocation. Possible symptoms include loss of mobility and unconsciousness. The victim does not realise that he or she is suffocating. If inhaled in low concentrations, the gas can cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, and problems with coordination.
• Move the victim to fresh air. Contact a doctor or rescue service. In case of respiratory arrest, initiate artificial respiration.

What to do in case of severe burns or scalds

• There is an acute risk of hypothermia and shock. Call the emergency services immediately!
• Immediately douse burning clothes with water or smother the flames with a thick blanket.
• Burns: leave clothes on the body.
• In case of scalding: remove clothing immediately.
• Cool the affected area with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain subsides.
• Cover the affected area with a sterile Metalline towel. Apply the Metalline-coated side to the injured skin and fix it loosely with a gauze bandage or a triangular cloth.
• Do not use “home remedies” such as ointments, powders, oils, disinfectants, etc.!

Measures for minor burns or scalding

• Burns: remove clothing only if it does not stick to the body.
• In case of scalding: remove clothing immediately.
• Cool the affected area with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain subsides.
• Let small burns or scalds that haven’t formed blisters heal in the air, do not cover with a patch or bandage.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR TRANSPORT
Fire and explosion hazard

• If possible, do not transport the gas cylinder in vehicles in which the load compartment is not separated from the driver’s cab. The driver must be aware of the potential dangers of the cargo and mustknow what to do in the event of an accident or emergency.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

1. Turn the grill off as soon as you are done grilling.
2. Preheat the grill with the lid closed for only 10-15 minutes (except for the first use).
3.  You do not need to preheat the grill longer than specified.

WARNING: Check the gas connections for breakages, wear, or tear before use. Should you notice any of these, do not use the grill until the issue has been resolved.
When replacing or unscrewing the gas cylinder, make sure there are no fire sources such as candles, electrical appliances, or cigarettes within reach. Always check to ensure the cylinder is properly closed.

OPERATING THE GAS GRILL

• WARNING: Never switch the grill on with the lid closed.
• Before you use the gas grill for the first time, you should definitely first wipe the surface of the lid and the outer parts of the combustion chamber with a damp cloth. This will prevent any residues from the production process from burning in.
• WARNING: Check that all burners are correctly positioned in the respective nozzles and that all cables below are accessible before using the gas grill. If this is not the case, loosen the clamp
• springs, remove the burners, and reposition them on the nozzles. Then retighten the clamping spring.
• Before grilling for the first time, allow it to burn for 40 minutes without food. Preservation residues are removed in this way. If there is a slight odour, you don’t need to worry. This is harmless.
• Make sure the grill is adequately ventilated. Scrub the grids with a stainless-steel brush afterwards.
• The colour inside the gas grill can change slightly. This is a natural process.

IGNITING THE GAS GRILL

1. Open the lid of the grill.

2. Turn all control knobs clockwise to the “OFF” position.

3. Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder.

4. Open the gas cylinder valve and use a leak detection spray or soapy water to check for leaks between the gas pressure regulator and the gas cylinder.

5. It is possible to ignite the burners independently of each other.

6.  Press and hold down one of the knobs while turning it counter-clockwise to the “HI” position. A “click” sound will be heard. The burner will ignite. If the burner does not ignite right away, repeat this step 3 to 4 times.
   7. WARNING: If the burner does not ignite even after repeated attempts, turn the control knob clockwise to the “OFF” position and close the gas cylinder valve. Wait 5 minutes and start again at step 4.

7. If you have ignited one burner, repeat steps 6 and 7 with the other knob to ignite the second burner as well.

8. Adjust the heat by turning the control knob to any setting between the highest level “HI” and the lowest level “LO”.

SWITCHING OFF THE GAS GRILL

1. To turn off the gas grill, move the switch to “OFF” in clockwise direction.
2.  Close the valve of the gas cylinder and move all switches clockwise to the “OFF” position.

CLEANING THE GAS GRILL

• Do not use any flammable cleaning agents.
• Remove the gas cylinder before cleaning the gas grill.
• Wait until the grill has cooled down completely before cleaning.
• Clean the grill after each use.
• Remove the grease trap and dispose the grease in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Wipe the stainless-steel surfaces and grids using a wet cloth or clean it with hot water. If neces-sary, use a mild detergent. Rinse with water and allow the gas grill to dry completely before the next use. Next, polish the stainless-steel surfaces with a stainless-steel cleaning agent.
• Use a brush to remove food particles from the burners.
• If in exceptional cases one of the nozzles is blo-cked, use a jet needle to clean it.
• If in exceptional cases the Venturi tube (gas-mi-xing pipe) is blocked, use a needle or pipe cleaner to clean it.

Recommended equipment: stainless steel barbecue brush, soft cotton cloth (not microfiber), sponge, wooden scraper, bucket, suitable barbecue cleaner (for the interior), suitable stainless steel cleaner (for the exterior), mild dishwashing detergent, possibly a scouring pad/steel wool, protective goggles, sing-le-use gloves, splash guard for your upper body (apron)

CLEANING AFTER EVERY USE

To prepare for your next barbecue session, you should let the grill burn out after every use (without food). This allows residue and grease on the grids to burn. Afterwards, you can simply brush them off.

1. Close the lid and set all stainless steel burners to “HI”.
2. Let the grill burn out for 15–30 minutes until there is no more smoke coming out of the grill.
3. Close the gas cylinder valve and turn off all burners.
4. Slowly open the grill (be cautious of escaping heat) and scrub the grids with the stainless steel barbecue brush until clean.

NOTE: Brass brushes are very soft and therefore not suitable for cast iron and stainless steel grids. They can also stain which can lead to rust.
Once your grill has fully cooled down, empty and clean the grease drain plate and drip tray. If you covered your tray with aluminium foil, replace it.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR
To clean the inside of your grill, start by removing the grids, take out the grease drain plate, and remove coarse dirt. Empty and clean the grease drip tray.

1. To clear coarse dirt out of the flame distributors, take them out and let them soak in warm water with a little dishwashing detergent for 1 hour. Then clean them with a sponge, warm water, and dishwasher detergent. You can also clean them in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
2. Release the safety clamps (by pressing down) from the burner heads and remove the stainless steel burners from your grill.
3. Insert the grease drain plate (without the drip tray) into the grill again and place the empty bucket beneath the opening.
4. Rinse out the interior of your grill with water (e.g. with a watering can). WARNING: Make sure that no water gets into the gas nozzles.
5. Apply a suitable cleaning agent for grill interiors (barbecue cleaner or dishwashing detergent) to the inside of the grill and let it soak for the amount of time indicated by the manufacturer. WARNING: Do not exceed the recommended application time of the cleaning agent used. Otherwise the material can become discoloured or damaged.
6. Remove stubborn stains in the interior of your grill with a sponge or a wooden scraper.
7. Thoroughly rinse you grill with water, let it dry completely, and carefully clean the burners and nozzle outlets with a dry cotton cloth (or a brush).
8.  Insert the parts back into the grill.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR

• Clean the exterior of your grill with a soft cotton cloth, warm water, and mild detergent. WARNING: Do not use a microfiber cloth to clean the stainless steel surfaces – this would scratch the material.
• Thoroughly dry the surfaces with a soft cotton cloth and apply a suitable stainless steel cleaner as needed. WARNING: Take note of the application time indicated by the manufacturer of the stainless steel cleaner and do not exceed it.
• Wipe off any residue of the stainless steel cleaner with a clean, soft cotton cloth. WARNING: Make sure that you have completely removed all residue of the stainless steel cleaner before you use your grill again. Otherwise it can stain and discolour or damage the material.

MAINTENANCE OF THE CAST IRON GRIDS
The grids are enameled. This layer protects against rust and prevents food from sticking to the grids. Despite this protective layer, the grids can absorb and release grease and moisture. It is therefore advisable to let the grids burn in as well.

BURNING-IN THE GRIDS
Cast iron grids must be given some time to burn in to protect the metal from rust and enable a non-stick surface. The burn-in process of cast iron can be performed in 3 simple steps:

1. Clean the cast iron grids with warm soapy water, rinse well, and wipe dry.
2. Grease the grids completely. Use an unrefined oil or fat with a low smoke point. WARNING: Never use olive oil or whey products – these become bitter when burned, have an unpleasant smell and cause heavy smoke.
3. Place the grids on the grill and set the stainless steel burners to “HI”. Let them burn-in for 45 minutes at the highest temperature with the lid closed. This burns the grease permanently onto the iron thus creating a protective patina.

MAINTENANCE OF THE STAINLESS STEEL GRIDS

Stainless steel grids do not need to be burned in. You can clean the durable grids with warm water, mild detergent and a sponge by hand or in the dishwasher.
Stainless steel can slightly discolour when exposed to high temperatures. This is a natural process and has no effect on the quality or your grilling result.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

After grilling, you should prepare the grill for the next use. Let the grill burn freely at maximum heat with the lid closed to burn up any residues on the grids and then brush them off.
Follow the procedure below to do this:

1. Remove all food from the grill and set the grill to maximum heat with the lid closed. Let it burn freely for 20-40 minutes until no more smoke comes out of the grill. For stubborn stains, turn the cast iron grids over so that the used side faces down.
2. Close the gas cylinder valve (rotate to OFF) and subsequently turn the control knobs to the OFF posi-tion.
3. Next, use a long-handled stainless steel brush to clean the grill. Make sure to wear grilling gloves or potholders since the grill is still very hot.
4. Pour some lard, linseed oil or sunflower oil on a cloth and rub it on the cast-iron grids to prevent rust and renew the patina for the next use. Stainless steel grids do not require further maintenance.

• It is recommended that you clean the dirty spots on the edge of the cast iron grids separately every 2–3 times you use the grill. Here, you should first let the grill burn freely and then clean it using a wire brush. To clean the dirty spots on the edges, remove the grids from the grill and scrub them carefully under warm water (no detergent) using a wire sponge (pot sponge).
• Afterwards, use a cloth to dry them thoroughly, allow to dry completely, apply some oil, and place them back into the grill. Stainless steel grids can easily be cleaned with detergent, sponge and warm water or in the dishwasher.
• If the cast iron grids show signs of flash rust, scrub the rusty surfaces with steel wool until you have completely removed all the rust. Next, wash the grids with warm water, rub dry thoroughly with a cloth, allow to dry completely and repeat the burning-in process.
• If possible, store the cast iron grids in a dry place during winter.
• General cleaning of the grill should be done every 3–4 months. You should let the grease residues burn, empty the grease trap, and clean the grease tray and grids every time you use the grill.
