Burning-off
Before first use, remove any production residue and clean the appliance.
1. Operate the appliance at high temperature with the cover opened for about 10 - 15 minutes to burn-off production residues (→ IGNITING THE BURNER).
2. Turn the appliance off; allow it to cool and clean all parts (→ CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR) afterwards.
OPERATION
WARNING! Before attempting to light the appliance, you must refer to the lighting instructions and warning / safety points.
WARNING! Danger of burns!
•
This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during use! Take proper precautions to prevent risk of burns, fires, or other damages to
people and property! Wear protective oven mittens or gloves. Use proper tools like barbecue tong and prongs to turn over grillables!
•
After the cover was closed for 5 minutes, it must be opened for 1 minute to let the appliance release heat.
WARNING! The black area of the handle (see fig. on the right) will become hot
when the appliance is in use, BE CAREFUL! Do not touch the black area.
COOKING TIPS
1. Brush the grill grates with cooking or vegetable oil, before using the appliance. Use a brush with a long handle. The juices from the food drip onto the heater
during cooking and vaporise. The steam arising from this process contributes to the taste of the food.
2. Set the control knob to the desired temperature in order to reach your desired cooking results. The built-in thermometer could be used as reference (not
calibrated).
3. Keep the cover closed in order to achieve a more consistent result and to cook larger pieces of meat or whole chickens.
4. Avoid opening the cover too often as accumulated heat escapes each time and the grilling time increases as a result.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
1. Reduce the opening time of the cover.
1. Turn the appliance off as soon as cooking is completed.
2. Preheat the appliance for 10 to 15 minutes only (except for the first use).
3. Do not preheat longer than recommended.
4. Do not use a higher setting than required.
Connect the hose and regulator to the gas cylinder at the right side of the appliance. Keep in mind that the gas cylinder must be kept away from heat and in a
safe position. The hose dimension is 8-10 mm diameter. The length of the hose shall be max. 1.5m.
IGNITING THE BURNER
The burner can be ignited with the built-in electronic ignitor or alternatively manually with a match.
1. Wait 5 minutes after all connections are made and make sure no gas is leaking (→ Testing for gas leaks).
2. Open the cover of the appliance. Refer to the illustration pages in the front section of this instruction manual for details. Turn the control knob to the off
position OFF.
3. Open the valve of the gas cylinder and / or the pressure regulator.
4. Keep your face and body as far away from the appliance as possible while igniting.
WARNING! Risk of explosion!
Always ignite the burner within 5 seconds after turning the control knob to a position in between Low and HI. Gas can collect inside the appliance
causing an explosion on ignition.
WARNING!
Turn the control knob to the off positions OFF, if the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds. Wait for 5 minutes to let the gas dissipate and try
again.
How to disconnect a gas cylinder
1. Except for twin-cylinder installations with a changeover valve,
turn off the gas tap if fitted to the appliance. Wait until the burner
and pilot light have gone out. For installations with a changeover
valve, it is only necessary to close the empty cylinder.
2. Place the orange safety cap on the empty cylinder.
Testing for gas leaks
WARNING! Risk of explosion!
Never check for gas leaks using a match or any other
open flame!
Test all connections, fittings and all gas hoses for gas leaks every
time prior use of the appliance, or each time the gas cylinder is
changed. Make sure this procedure is carried out in a well ventilated
area away from flames, sparks or any heat sources. Do not attempt
to light the appliance if you smell gas.
