Hold the lid handle securely when closing the lid and check nothing is trapped between
the lid and the plate and/or outer casing of the appliance.
We recommend storing the appliance with the lid closed.
We recommend the use of commercial 6 kg or 13 kg butane or propane gas cylinders
with an appropriate pressure regulator.
Keep the gas cylinder as far away as possible from any heat source. Place it on the
ground, next to or behind the plancha.
Keep the gas cylinder at least 0.5 metres away from the plancha or any other heat
source.
CONNECTION
Check that the temperature control knobs are set to "Off".
Ensure that the connection complies with the regulations in the country of use.
The plancha must be connected via a hose and connector, located at the back of the
appliance (see Figure 3). To connect it, remove the yellow protective cap on the ½" gas
connector and keep it for storing.
For example, for France: NF hose for 3
− NF D36-125 metallic hose with unlimited lifespan.
− NF D36-112 hose with a lifespan of 10 years
The hose should be a suitable length, up to 1.5 m, and must be visible over its entire
length.
Check that the hose is in good condition and replace it if it appears cracked or damaged.
The hose must lie naturally with no twists or pulling. Ensure it does not come into
contact with any hot parts of the appliance. After connecting the hose to the appliance,
connect the pressure regulator to the hose and gas cylinder as per the instructions
supplied with the pressure regulator and hose. Then, perform a leak-tightness test as
follows:
− Check leak-tightness by using soapy water away from any heat source (cigarettes,
electrical appliances, etc.).
− Never test leak-tightness using a flame.
− Put soapy water on all connections, open the gas inlet and then check for the
formation of bubbles.
− If any bubbles form, then there is a leak. Close the gas cylinder and tighten the
connections, then perform another leak-tightness test.
