CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER TO THE APPLIANCE

This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas and fitted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured to the regulator and the appliance with hose clips/nuts. This plancha is set to operate a 28 mbar regulator with butane gas, and a 37mbar regulator with propane gas, and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 37mbar, and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 50mbar and a regulator with butane/propane mixture at 30mbar. Use a suitable regulator certified to BSEN 16129: 2013. Please consult your LPG dealer for information regarding a suitable regulator for the gas cylinder.

BEFORE USE PLEASE CHECK FOR LEAKAGE!
Never check for leaks with a naked flame, always use a soapy water solution.

TO CHECK FOR LEAKS

Make 2-3 fluid ounces of leak detecting solution by mixing one part washing up liquid with 3 parts water.
Ensure the control valve is “OFF”.
Connect the regulator to the cylinder and ON/OFF valve to the burner, ensure the connections are secure then turn ON the gas.
Brush the soapy solution on to the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you have a leak, which must be rectified before use.

GREASE CUP

Please do not open the grease cup during use.
Please check the grease cup on time and take away the oil when 1/3 full.
Method: after the grease cup cold, make grease cup up in horizontal line and move it with hook reverse horizontally, this could take out the grease cup.

CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY

Turn the gas OFF at the control knob and disconnect the cylinder.
Remove cooling griddle.
Clean the burner with a soft brush or blow clean with compressed air and wipe with a cloth. Clean any clogged ports with a pipe cleaner or stiff wire

Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Reinstall the burner, to ensure that the gas valve orifices are correctly positioned and secured inside the burner inlet (venturi).
In some cases your plancha will light back because of an insect crawling inside the burner venturi or a spider spinning
its web inside the burner. This can be rectified by using a bottle brush inserted through the burner venturi and pushing it into the burner over the burner length. If condition persists consult your gas dealer.
