Inserting the battery

Make sure to insert a battery into the appliance for automatic
burner activation. You need only one 1.5 V AA battery (not
included). Remove the battery compartment cover located
between the temperature controllers and insert a 1.5 V
AA battery into the battery compartment. Pay attention to
the correct polarity (+/-). The plus of the battery must point
outwards. Replace the battery compartment cover.

Connecting the gas cylinder

WARNING! Be aware of flashbacks!
Make sure there is no debris, spiders, small insects, or
webs inside the head of the gas cylinder, pressure regulator,
burner(s), burner tube(s), or hose before any connection is
made. They can obstruct the gas flow, which could result in a
fire in and around the burner tube. This kind of fire is known
as "flashback" and can cause serious damages. Check and
clean (refer to "Maintenance and cleaning" on page EN-17.) all
the parts of the appliance before assembling it, to reduce the
chance of its occurrence.

Regulator and hose

These accessories come complete with the gas barbecue.
Replacement parts can be purchased from your appliance
dealer or an authorized LPG dealer. Use only regulators
and hoses approved for LPG with the above pressures.
The estimated service life of the regulator is 2 years. It is
recommended to change it every 2 years.
NEVER use an unregulated gas supply.
The use of an inappropriate or defective regulator or gas hose
is dangerous. Always check that you have the appropriate
parts before using the barbecue.
The gas hose used must comply with relevant standards and
regulations of the country in which the appliance is used. The
length of the gas hose must not exceed 1.5 meters.
The gas hose must be replaced if damaged and when
national conditions require it. Contact your dealer for
replacement.
The hose must not be twisted or kinked. Make sure that the
gas hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any parts
of the gas barbecue other than its connection.

Appliance storage

Storage of an appliance indoors is only allowed without the
gas cylinder. When the barbecue is not to be used for an
extended period of time, it should be stored with a protective
cover in a dry and dust-free environment.

Gas cylinder

The appliance is supplied without a gas cylinder. The user
should order a gas cylinder separately. The gas cylinder must
not be dropped or handled roughly or improperly!
The gas cylinder must be removed from the barbecue when it
is not in use. Make sure to put the protective cap on the gas
cylinder after it has been removed from the appliance. Gas
cylinders must be stored separately from the appliance.
Gas cylinders must not be stored in premises below ground
level, in stairwells, passageways and carriageways of
buildings, as well as in their immediate vicinity. The valves
must be provided with protective caps and locking nuts. Gas
cylinders (including empty ones) must be stored in an upright
position.
Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors in an upright position
and out of the reach of children. Gas cylinders must never be
stored at temperatures exceeding 50 °C. Gas cylinders must
not be stored near open flames or other ignition sources.
Smoking in the vicinity of gas cylinders is strictly
prohibited!

Connecting to the appliance

Put the gas cylinder on the base plate.
Warning!
The gas cylinder must be put on the base plate. Do not keep
another gas cylinder in the cabinet. Before you start using
the gas barbecue, make sure the gas cylinder is in the gas
cylinder holder on the base plate in the cabinet.
Ensure that the heads of the gas cylinder, regulator or burner
are free from dirt prior to connecting the gas cylinder to
the appliance. There could be spiders and insects in there
blocking the openings of the burner or venturi. A blocked
burner can cause a fire underneath the barbecue. Clean
blocked burner openings with a sturdy pipe cleaner.
Warning! Hand-tighten one side of the gas hose onto the
pressure regulator thread and then tighten it firmly with a
17 size open-end wrench.
Warning, left-hand thread! Do not use an additional seal!
Hand-tighten the other side of the gas hose onto the valve
connection thread on the appliance. Then tighten it firmly with
a 17 size open-end wrench.
Warning, left-hand thread! Do not use an additional seal!
Attach the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder valve and
tighten by hand.
Follow the instructions supplied with the regulator.
Warning!
Check all connections for gas leaks before every use!
Always check for leaks using soapy water. Never use an open
flame to detect leaks.

Checking for gas leaks

• Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in the area.
• Make sure the cylinder valve and the barbecue are "OFF."
• Mix 1 part dishwashing detergent with 3 parts water. Leak
test requires approx. 50 ml of soapy water.
• Ensure that all temperature controllers are set to  (off).
• Attach the regulator to the gas cylinder and turn on the
burner using the left temperature controller. Ensure that the
connections are secure.
• Open the gas valve.
• Apply the soapy water on the hose and all connections.
Bubbles indicate that there is a leak.
• If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder valve, tighten the
connection and retest.
• If the leak persists, contact your barbecue dealer for
assistance. Do not attempt to operate the appliance if a leak
is present.
