Gas connections & regulator(s)

Connecting a disposable gas cartridge
The product is standard configured for disposable gas cartridges that comply with EN417 standard and have a screw type connection as shown on visual below. The cartridges should contain butane gasses. These are common type gas cartridges that can be found at almost every outdoor-related retailer worldwide.

When connecting or changing the gas cartrigde;

• Check if the burners are extinguished and both control knobs are on the ‘O’ position, before disconnecting the gas cartrigde, visual A.
• Carefully dismantle the empty cartridge, if applicable, from the gas regulator by screwing it clockwise, visual A.
• Check if the seal in the gas regulator is in place and good condition, visual B
• Check if the seals of the quick-connectors are in place and good condition, visual C.
• Assemble a new cartrigde on the gas regulator by screwing it counterclockwise, visual D. Always do this outside and away from people.
• Make sure there’s no gas leakage, see ‘Leak detection procedure’.
• If everything seems airtight and connected well, you’re able to use the appliance again.

Before use ensure that the valve and screw connection is not damaged! Also check if the seals (between the appliance and the gas container) are in place and in good condition before connecting it to the gas container.
NomadiQ recommends to use the provided gas hose assembly with disposable gas cartridges as shown above. When considering to connect alternative gas supplies please contact our Service & After sales for further advise.
Additional instructions & tips related to the gas supply and connection.

• Disconnect the cartridge if it’s empty
• Disconnect the cartridge if the grill is being stored in a garage or other enclosed area
• Disconnect the cartridge if the grill is being transported.
• Avoid kinking the hose.
• Make sure the gas supply is positioned on a stable surface and prevent that the flexible tube is twisted.
• Any parts sealed by the manufacturer must not be altered by the user.
• Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.
• Gas supplies, especially cartridges may cool down during use and can even show icing on the outside of the supply. This phenomenon is quite common but might also influence the eventual grilling performance. Placing the gas supply in a layer of water, keeping the top part of the supply sufficiently above water level, can prevent this situation.

Leak detection procedure
Make sure the control knobs on the appliance are set on “0” and if applicable, open the valve of the gas supply/ regulator. Check for leaking joints by brushing with solution of half-liquid detergent and half water. If a leak is present, bubbles will appear (or you may hear a hissing sound). Retightening connections can generally repair a leaking joint. You must also check the gas hose and connection at the gas cylinder. If a leak cannot be resolved, do not proceed. Contact Service & After sales for further advise.

WARNING!
DO NOT USE NAKED FLAME FOR LOCATING GAS LEAKS. IF A LEAK PERSISTS CONTACT AN AUTHORISED GAS FITTER.
BEFORE EACH USE, CHECK THE GAS HOSE FOR CRACKS, CUTS, NICKS OR ABRASIONS. IF THE HOSE IS DAMAGED IN ANY WAY, DO NOT USE IT. REPLACE THE GAS HOSE USING A NOMADIQ REPLACEMENT HOSE ONLY.

Tips & Tricks ‘during operation’

• A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the grates. Always spray or brush oil onto your ingredients, but not directly on the grill while in use.
• Grilling conditions may require adjustment of the control knobs to achieve the correct grilling temperatures.
• When using a sauce or marinade with a high sugar content or other ingredients that burn easily, only brush it onto the food during the last 5 to 10 minutes of grilling.
• Remove excess fat from chops, roasts and steaks. Less fat makes cleaning easier and prevents unwanted flare-ups.
• Always be sure the grilling shells and removable drip-trays are clean before use. For further ‘Tips & Tricks’ during operation of the appliance visit www.nomadiqbbq.com

Cleaning & Maintenance

External cleaning Before cleaning the appliance exterior, ensure the appliance has cooled down and is safe to touch. Painted and plastic surfaces can be cleaned using a mild household detergent or cleaner and a dry cleaning cloth (do not use scourers or harsh detergents). It is advisable to test cleaners on a small section of the appliance first. NEVER use paint thinners or similar solvents for cleaning and NEVER pour cold water over hot surfaces. Make sure all surfaces are dried carefully before covering and storing the product.

Internal cleaning
Before cleaning the internal parts of your barbecue, ensure the appliance has cooled down completely and is safe to touch. The inside can be cleaned by using some water, mild detergent and a soft sponge or cleaning towel. The non- stick coated surfaces (inside of grilling shells) should be cleaned carefully with a light wet cleaning towel. For hard to clean areas, use a little baking soda on a wet sponge and/ or soft brush. The grates with non-stick coating can be taken out and easily cleaned under the tap with water and mild detergents. All parts and surface need to be dried afterwards using a dry soft cleaning cloth.
WARNING! Spark points located in the grilling shell near the burner are sharp, be aware during cleaning to prevent injury.
Note: Non-stick coated surfaces, like the grates, will stain if food is burned into the surface(s). Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp and/ or hard equipment, like metal cooking tools or brushes, on these surfaces as it might damage these type of coatings!

Extensive cleaning & annual maintenance
For extensive cleaning the grilling shells can be removed to clean the inner part of the base occasionally. Please carefully follow the instructions below in combination with the reference visuals shown on page 9.

1. Release the grilling shells by following steps 1 to 4 as mentioned in the “instruction for use” section. Pull out both grilling shells and carefully flip both grilling shells at the end point to one side, visual 28
2. Carefully disconnect/ unplug both wires from the ignitor, located at the bottom of the base, visual 29
3. Return both grilling shells in vertical position and slide the grilling shells halfway the base. Tilt the grilling shells sidewards so the guiding pins are released from the base, visual 30
4. Release the grilling shells, still tilted in a vertical movement out of the base. The inner surface of the base as well as the outer surface of the grilling shells are now accessable for cleaning, visual 31
5. After cleaning, the grilling shells can be placed back in the base by following above steps vice versa. To prevent damage, ensure that both guiding pins of the grilling shells are placed correctly in the designated guiding slots in the base before sliding the shells in the base.

Cleaning and maintenance of the burner.
It’s strongly recomended to inspect and clean the burner tube at least once a year, to keep your gas grill performing safely and efficiently. To remove the burner(s) for extensive cleaning and inspection, please carefully follow the instructions below in combination with the reference visuals shown on page 9. Also follow these steps if an irregular flame pattern is visible.

1. Ensure that the gas supply is closed and the gas grill is cooled donw properly. Remove the 2 screws at the center of the burner from the grilling shells, using a philips type screwdriver and carefully slide the burner out from the grilling shell, visual 32
2. Below information should be taken in account during inspection and cleaning, visual 33:
   • From repeated use of the grill, the burner openings can become dirty over time. Dirty and blocked ports can restrict the gas flow which can cause dangerous situations.
   • Inpect the inside of the burner tube with a flashlight to determine if any obstuction is visible that will restrict the gas flow to the burner openings.

If any obstruction is visible on the inside or outside, clean the area with a steel britle brush or a steel wire. Ensure that all blocked area’s are clean before reinstalling the burner in the grilling shell.
For installing or replacing the burner, place the burner back in the grilling shell. Ensure that the tube is placed properly over the gas orrifice and fasten the 2 screws.

Storage
When the appliance is not in use, the cylinder valve must be turned OFF, the appliance and the cylinder together must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area. However it is permissible to store the appliance (but not the cylinder) indoors. Ensure the appliance is cleaned well, for sure the grates, before storing away. When the gas cylinder is disconnected, replace the plug or cap on the valve outlet if available.

Extended storage
After extended storage it’s recommended to clean and check the burner and gas supply, following the instructions below.

Burner(s)
Brush the outside of the burners with a stiff brush, for example a ‘hard’ tooth brush, to remove stains and dirt. Be careful not to damage the igniter spark points.

Gas supply & connection

1. Inspect the gas hose assembly for any deterioration and replace it if necessary.
2. Test the gas circuit for leaks and remedy any found, also see ‘leak detection procedure’ in the Gas connections & regulator(s) section of this manual.
3. Check if the seals of the gas hose assembly (between the appliance and the gas container) are in place and in good condition, also before connecting a (new) gas container. These seals are located in the quick connectors and gas regulator, exact location also be found following the visuals on page 13, chapter “Gas connections & regulator(s)”.
