 Component List

Fitting and Changing the Hose and Gas Cylinder

• Before fitting the regulator to a gas container, ensure that the seal on the regulator is in position and in good condition. This should be done on every connection.
•  Ensure that the gas container is fitted or changed outdoors, away from any source of ignition, such as naked flames or electric fires and away from other people.
•  Making sure that the gas container is kept upright, screw the regulator onto the gas container until it is fully engaged. Do not over tighten.
• If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), take immediately into a flame-free location where the leak may be detected and stopped. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it outside using soapy water only, which is applied to the joints. A formation of bubbles will indicate a gas leak.
•  Check that all the connections are securely fitted and re-check with soapy water. If you cannot rectify the gas leak, do not use the appliance. Contact your local CADAC stockist for assistance.
•  When changing a gas container close the cylinder valve and then the appliance Valve (see Figs. 1 and 2). Making sure the flame is extinguished, unscrew the regulator. Re-fit a full gas container following the same precautions as described above.

Using the Appliance

• This appliance must be used outdoors only!

•  When in use, protect from wind for optimum performance.

•  Do not move the unit whilst hot. The use of protective gloves is recommended.

• CAUTION: Accessible parts may become very hot. Keep young children away from the appliance.

• To pack away, let the unit cool. After cleaning, fold the legs of the appliance as described is section 3 above. Place the pot / dome at the bottom of the bag. Next, place the pot stand upside down into the pot / dome. Place the fat pan upside down over the pot and pot stand. Then place the appliance upside down onto the fat pan. Place the grid and flat pan into their separate holders located in the lid of the bag and zip them closed. Fold over the lid of the bag, and zip it closed. (Fig. 8)

• Keep the appliance in its Carry Bag when not in use, as this will prevent the ingress of dirt or insects which may affect the gas flow.

•  When attempting to light the appliance, make sure that the gas supply from the cylinder is open prior to turning on the gas supply to the appliance.

• 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.

•  Use the control knob to adjust the flame intensity to the desired level by turning the knob clockwise to decrease the flame and anti-clockwise to increase the flame.

• When not in use disconnect the appliance from the gas supply.

• WARNING: Do not use any cooking surfaces on a high flame setting for more than 10 minutes as this can damage the non-stick coatings.
  

Cooking Options

There are five available cooking options (the 5th is an optional accessory) with your Safari Chef appliance. These are:

Barbecuing:

This cooking option is ideal for fat-free barbecuing of chicken, sausages, chops, kebabs, fish or vegetables. For this type of cooking, place the fat pan onto the heat shield. Place the BBQ grid onto the locators of the fat pan.

Caution: Please note that when cooking fatty meats some fat will drip 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 valve 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, place the Fat Pan onto the heat shield. Place the Flat

Pan onto the locators of the fat pan. 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.

Oven Dome / Wok:

The dome can be used as a wok, a lid  to create an oven on the BBQ, or a saucepan. For wok-style cooking, place the dome upside-down directly onto the pot stand and use to prepare stir-fries, pasta dishes or paella.  To use the dome as an oven lid place the dome over a meal cooking on the BBQ option for convection style cooking. This  is ideal for roasting chicken, lamp, beef or pork. The Dome can also be used as a saucepan, to heat sauces, marinades, boil water, cook rice, pasta etc. Place the dome upside-down directly onto the Pot Stand.

Boiling:

For this type of cooking, place the pot stand in its locator grooves on the heat shield ensuring that it is properly seated. Place a suitable pot (not less than 150mm

diameter and not more than 300mm diameter) or the Safari Chef dome on the pot Stand. The fat pan has been designed in such a way that it can also be used as a windshield. 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. Pot stand can also be used in the fat pan.

Pizza Baking:

For this type of cooking, place the pot stand into the fat pan. The fat pan has been designed in such a way that it can also be used as a windshield. Place the pizza stone onto the pot stand. Pre-heat your pizza stone before use. Ensure that food is at room temperature before placing it onto the pizza stone, DO NOT put frozen food onto a heated pizza stone. Put the dome on to create an oven effect for better heat distribution. For cooking methods when using the pizza stone, please refer to the pizza stone user manual.

 Cleaning

BBQ Unit

•  To clean the fat pan, flat pan, and BBQ grid, wash in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent after first wiping off any excess fat left after cooking.
•  To Clean the dome, wash in warm water with a non-abrasive detergent.
•  Do not use an abrasive cleaner on any part, as this will damage its surface coating.
• These parts are perfectly safe to clean in the dishwasher after removing any excess fat.

Body / Leg Unit

• This is best cleaned by using a soft damp cloth and a mild non-abrasive detergent. Do not place in a dishwasher as this may allow water into the valve or burner ports, which will cause the unit to malfunction.
•  When cleaning the body/leg unit the pot stand may need to be removed. This can be done lifting the pot stand out of the locator groove in the heat shield.

 General Maintenance

•  The onus of maintaining this appliance solely rests on the consumer from date of purchase.

• This appliance does not require scheduled maintenance.

• After prolonged storage, inspect the air holes under the unit and the inlet of the venturi for insects such as spiders, etc whiich could affect gas flow. Also inspect the inlet of the venturi for insects. After checking, refit all components into the prescribed position. Replacing a Blocked Jet:

• Your Safari Chef 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.
  

• To replace the jet: Remove the fat pan (Fig. 9). Gently unscrew the burner assembly (Fig. 10). Remove the three screws from the heat shield plate and remove the heat shield(Fig. 11), taking care not to damage the piezo electrode. The jet can now be removed using a suitable spanner (Fig. 12). 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.
  Replacing the Hose:

• The fitting of a hose is described in Section 5 – Fitting and replacing the hose and gas cylinder.
