• Ensure that a complete gas seal has been made by performing a gas leak test as described in the
• Gas leaks chapter. If you cannot rectify a gas leak, do not use the appliance. If you are in doubt, contact your nearest stockist.
• Carry out all these safety checks each time you connect the appliance to a gas supply.

Disconnecting and changing the gas supply

• After use, turn the appliance control knob to the OFF “•” position and close the gas supply.
• When you need to replace your empty cylinder, make sure that the gas valve is closed on the gas cylinder.
• Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder and attach it to a full cylinder. Refer to the instructions above on how to connect the gas supply.
• Apply the same care and checking procedures as if fitting a new gas cylinder.

How to check if your gas cylinder is empty

• A gas cylinder’s empty weight is usually stamped on its neck or foot. Weighing the cylinder shows its current gas level.
• If the weight matches the stamped weight, the cylinder is empty. The difference between the current weight and the stamped weight indicates the remaining gas.

Operating the appliance

• Before first use, ensure that any protective packaging and plastic are removed from the appliance.
• With every use, ensure that all parts are in good working order. Perform a gas leak test as described in the Gas leaks chapter each time the gas supply is connected or exchanged.
• After prolonged storage, inspect the appliance for any insects, debris, and spiderwebs that may affect gas flow.
• Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.
• Do not move the appliance when in use. This is an unsafe practice and may cause flaring.
• Remove any cooking surfaces when lighting the appliance.
• Use cooking vessels with a diameter of 150 mm to 300 mm only.

Lighting the appliance using the igniter

Fig. 6 on

• To ignite the gas burner, push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to its highest setting while pressing the igniter button.
• If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, turn the control knob back to its OFF “•” position before re-attempting ignition.
• If the gas has not ignited in the first two to three seconds you should close the control valve by turning the control knob back to its OFF “•” position.
• Wait approximately 30 s to let any accumulated gas within the burner escape. Repeat the above process if necessary until the flame ignites. The flame should normally light up within the first one to two seconds.

Lighting the appliance using a Barbecue lighter

• When lighting a cold appliance, the appliance may be lit from the top of the burner before fitting the desired cooking surface.
• When lighting up a hot appliance, the appliance may be lit by sticking a barbecue lighter through one of the vent holes underneath the burner until it is in line with the burner.
• DO NOT place the Barbecue lighter through the large hole directly underneath the burner.
• With the barbecue lighter in place, ignite the lighter first before pushing in and turning the control knob anti-clockwise to ignite the gas burner.

NOTE

• Once the appliance is lit, adjust the flame intensity by turning the control knob clockwise to decrease the flame and anti-clockwise to increase the flame.
• 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.
• After use, ensure the control knob on your appliance is in the OFF “•” position, and that the flame is extinguished before removing the gas supply.

GreenGrill cooking surfaces

• Most CADAC | Dometic cooking surfaces feature GreenGrill non-stick ceramic coating which is PFOA-free and non-toxic, allowing for healthier cooking.

To prepare the cooking surface

• Before first use, it is recommended that you prepare the cooking surface to prevent food from sticking.
• Apply a thin layer of cooking oil over the entire cooking surface and heat it over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Allow the cooking surface to cool before washing it in warm soapy water.
• Re-apply a thin layer of oil to the cooking surface. It is now ready for use.

Cleaning your cooking surface

• Always allow cooking surfaces to cool completely before immersing them in water.
• Clean your cooking surface with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid the use of scouring pads.
• To loosen stubborn stains or residues, soak the cooking surface for a few minutes in warm water before attempting to wash.

Maintenance

• After cleaning, we recommend spreading a small amount of oil to the cooking surface before storing it to protect the surface against air and moisture.
• Most cooking surfaces are supplied with a convenient storage bag. Place the oiled cooking surface in a plastic bag before storing it in its bag to keep the bag clean and free of any residue.

Cooking methods

• Grilling: The BBQ Grill is ideal for fat-free grilling of chicken, meat, fish, or vegetables.
• Pan-frying: The Flat Grill Plate is perfect for frying stir-fries, fish, bacon, eggs, and vegetables, and for making pancakes.
• Boiling: Making sauces or cooking rice and pasta is easy with the use of a suitable pot or pan placed onto the Pan Support.
• Avoid using cookware with plastic handles as they can become hot during cooking and may melt.

Optional accessories

• Pizza Stone Pro: Ideal for preparing pizzas, flat loaves of bread, etc. Use of the dome is required to create an ‘oven’ for baking.
• Paella Pan: Made from high-quality pressed aluminum for even heat distribution, the Paella Pan is perfect for preparing paellas, risotto, pasta dishes, traditional breakfasts, etc.
• Coffee Pot Stand: Provides the perfect brewing platform for your coffee percolator or kettle.

NOTE

• GreenGrill coating conducts heat better than regular (PTFE) non-stick coatings. Therefore, we recommend using only 75%of the usual power setting.
• To avoid damage to your cooking surface, never leave it on the heat source without a coating of oil.
• We recommend frying with sunflower or rapeseed oil due to their high burning points.
• The use of olive oil is not recommended due to its lower burning point, which can cause ingredients to stick or burn. Tip: bring meat or fish to room temperature before frying to prevent sticking.
• The CADAC | Dometic Soft Soak and Soft Soak Brush (sold separately) are ideal cleaning products for GreenGrill cooking surfaces, aiding in soaking and removing stubborn food residue.

Cleaning the appliance

• To prolong the lifespan of your appliance, clean it well after every use.
• Allow the appliance to cool down before you clean it.
• To clean the appliance body, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and a little detergent as needed.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water as this may damage the burner tube causing the appliance to malfunction.
• Keep water away from the burners and pilot light area. Dry the appliance completely before use.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surfaces.
• Do not use a high-pressure steamer or water jet to clean the appliance.
• NOTE For stubborn stains, CADAC oven cleaner may be used.

Storage

• Allow the unit to cool down and clean well before storing.
• Ensure that the gas supply is turned off before disconnecting it from the appliance.
• Never store an appliance with the gas supply connected, this is an unsafe practice.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

• Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend your appliance’s life and reduce the likelihood of problems.
• We recommend servicing your appliance every 12 months by a service agent to ensure efficient operation.
• This appliance must only be serviced by an authorized person.
• Regularly check all connections for leaks and every time the gas cylinder is refilled or attached.
• Clean your burner ports in case of an overspill.

Troubleshooting

• We recommend cleaning or replacing the injectors every six months to maintain efficient operation.
• If the appliance operates abnormally after storage and checks don’t isolate the problem, the injector may be blocked. A blocked injector is indicated by a weaker yellowish flame or no flame at all.
• In such cases, remove and thoroughly clean the injector to remove any foreign matter.
• Remove the injector using standard tools and blow out any dirt. Alternatively, purchase new injectors from your local store. Do not attempt mechanical cleaning of the injector.

Replacing a blocked injector

• Your appliance is fitted with a specific size injector to regulate the correct amount of gas. If the injector hole is blocked, it may cause a weak flame or no flame at all.
• Avoid cleaning the injector with a pin or similar device as it may damage the injector, posing a safety risk to the appliance. To replace the injector, do the following Fig. 7.

1. Remove the fat pan.
2. Remove the three screws on the heat shield plate and remove the heat shield.
3. Remove the two screws on the burner assembly and remove it, taking care to not damage the connected igniter wire.
4. Use a suitable spanner to remove the injector; avoid using pliers as this may damage the injector. Screw the new injector into the valve, being careful not to over-tighten to avoid damage.
