Safety information

The hose must be checked for wear or damage before every use and before connecting to the gas container.
Do not use the appliance if it has a damaged or worn hose. Replace the hose.
Do not use an appliance that is leaking, damaged or which does not operate properly.
The minimum hose length is 600mm and it is recommended that the maximum hose length should not exceed 1.5m. Gas Container
This appliance must only be used with an approved hose and regulator. (A 2.8kPa hose and regulator supplied only in South Africa)
Ensure that the gas container is fitted or changed in a well-ventilated location, preferably outdoors, away from any sources of ignition such as naked flames, pilots, electric fires and away from other people.
Keep gas containers away from heat and flame. Do not place on a stove or any other hot surface.
Refillable cylinders are to be used only in the upright position so as to ensure proper fuel withdrawal. Failure to adhere to this may cause liquid discharge from the gas container resulting in a dangerous operating condition.
Do not try to remove the cylinder whilst the unit is in operation.
The gas cylinder must be disconnected from the appliance after use or when in storage.
Not for use with a remote gas supply. Assembly and use
Use only on a firm level surface.
Do not move the appliance during use.
Ensure the appliance is used away from flammable materials. Minimum safe distances are: Above the appliance 1.2m. At the rear and sides 600mm.
WARNING: Accessible parts may be very hot, the use of protective gloves is recommended. Keep young children away.
Use outdoors only! Light back
In the event of light back (where the flame burns back and ignites inside the burner or venturi housing), immediately turn off the gas supply by firstly closing the control valve on the gas cylinder and then the appliance valve.
After the flame is extinguished, remove the regulator 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 CADAC repair agent. Leaks
If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), turn off the cylinder valve and take it outside immediately into a well-ventilated flame-free location where the leak may be detected and stopped. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it outside. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame; use soapy water.
The correct way is to smear the joints with soapy water. If a bubble or bubbles form then there is a gas leak. Immediately turn off the gas supply firstly by closing the control valve on the gas container and then the appliance valve. Check that all the connections are properly fitted. Re-check with soapy water.
If a gas leak persists, return the product to your CADAC dealer for inspection/repair.

Lighting the appliance

Precautions to observe before lighting.

After prolonged storage, inspect the air holes in the valve cover for insects, which may affect gas flow. Inspect the inlet of the venturi for insects. After checking, refit all components into the prescribed position.
Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.

Using the control knob

The control knob is fitted with two positive stop positions, one at low, and one at Ignite / High. This limits the adjustment of the flame to between these two points.

Lighting up using the Piezo Igniter

To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push in and turn the control knob in an anti-clockwise direction until you hear a click. If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, push in, and turn the control knob fully clockwise. Try again, by pushing in and turning the control knob anti-clockwise until you hear a click. If the gas has not ignited in the first two to three seconds you should close the control valve by pushing in the control knob, and turning it fully clockwise. Wait approximately thirty seconds to let any accumulated gas within the burner pan assembly escape. Repeat the above process if necessary until the flame ignites. The flame should normally light up within the first one or 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 onto the fat pan. When lighting up a hot appliance however, it is recommended that this be done by sticking 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 in 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 valve knob anti-clockwise to reduce the flame, or clockwise to increase the flame.
The fully closed position is at the furthest clockwise position. To rotate the valve from the fully closed position it is necessary to first depress the knob just enough to move out of the lock mechanism. While holding the knob in, turn it in an anti-clockwise direction. Once the spindle has moved out of the lock position it is no longer necessary to keep the control knob depressed and it can be rotated freely to the desired flame setting.
The flame may be observed through the Inspection Hole provided for this purpose on the side of the fat pan.
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 as, apart from being an unsafe practice, to move the appliance whilst lit, may cause flaring.
After use, first close the valve on the gas container (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the valve on the appliance by pushing in and turning the Control Knob fully clockwise.

Fitting and Changing the Gas Cylinder

After use, turn off the control knob to the off position (“•” – turn fully clockwise) and close the gas cylinder valve.
Ensure that the gas cylinder is fitted or changed in a well-ventilated location away from any source of ignition, such as naked flames and away from other people.
Do not smoke while changing the cylinder.
When you need to replace your empty cylinder, make sure that the gas is closed at the cylinder valve.
Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder.
Avoid twisting the hose whilst connecting the regulator to the new/replacement cylinder.
Blow out any dust from the cylinder opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.
Place the full cylinder in its allocated space and attach the regulator connection to the cylinder.
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 are in doubt, contact your nearest stockist.

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 the exterior and cylinder storage area.
The grill plate is coated with a tough durable 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 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 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 surface with a light wipe of oil.
Do not use any high-pressure steam equipment or a water jet to clean the appliance.
Remove the fat from the moat of the fat pan.
Note: For stubborn stains, oven cleaner may be used.
