LEAK TEST
PLEASE NOTE!
Never look for gas leaks using a flame! Before you check
for leaks, make sure that there are no flames nearby
and no sparks can form. Sparks or flames may trigger an
explosion that can cause serious or even fatal injuries or
material damage.
After you first connect it, each time you change the gas cylinder
or if the barbecue has not been used for a prolonged period, the
leak test must be performed on all gas-carrying components in
order to ensure that gas is not escaping from any of them.
Follow the instructions in the guide for the pressure regulator
to carry out a leak test. To do this, use a standard leak detector
agent and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Performing a
leak test by listening is not safe!
USE
Putting the Barbecue into Operation
PLEASE NOTE!
■ Burn off the barbecue with the grill racks and all accessories
that come into direct contact with food before you first use
them to remove any possible production residues. To do this,
heat the barbecue on the highest level with the lid closed for at
least 20 minutes. Clean the accessories once they have cooled
down. Also note the "Cleaning and Maintenance" chapter.
■ Only use the barbecue if all parts are in their designated place
and the barbecue has been assembled properly in accordance
with the assembly steps in these assembly and operating
instructions.
■ Each time before you use the barbecue, make sure that it
is undamaged and has been set up correctly. When you are
choosing where to set up, note the "Safety Notices" chapter.
■ Before each use, make sure that the gas cylinder and the
pressure regulator have been connected correctly and all
gas-carrying parts are leaktight (see the "Connecting the Gas
Cylinder" and "Leak Test" chapters).
■ Check the barbecue for any grease deposits before each use.
Remove excess grease and empty and clean all parts in the
grease collecting system to prevent any grease fires (see the
"Cleaning and Maintenance" chapter).
■ Do not line the grease collecting system or barbecue chamber
with aluminium foil or another type of foil.
■ The lid must be open during the ignition process. Ignite each
burner individually.
■ When you are igniting the gas flame, do not bend over the
grill surface as there may be a deflagration if gas builds up in
the barbecue chamber.
■ If the flame goes out or a burner has not ignited, turn the cor-
responding control knob to the Off position. Wait approx. 2
to 5 minutes before trying again to allow the gas to dissipate.
Otherwise there may be a deflagration.
■ Never pour water onto the hot barbecue to avoid burns and
scalding.
1. Open the lid.
2. Make sure that all control knobs are in the Off position (arrow
on the control knob pointing upwards). If they are not, press
the control knob and turn it to the Off position.
3. Open the gas supply on the gas cylinder.
4. Each burner is equipped with its own ignition system and
so can be ignited individually: Press the control knob for the
burner you want and turn it to the Max (maximum power)
position (Picture F). The gas supply is activated.
With a piezo ignition, a spark is also produced.
With an electric ignition, also press the ignition button (Pic-
ture G). You will hear a clicking noise.
5. Check whether the burner has been ignited: Look carefully to
see whether flames are emerging from the burner.
If the burner has not ignited, turn the control knob to the Off
position and try again.
L
With a piezo ignition, only let go of the control knob a
few seconds after ignition has taken place so that the
flame does not go out.
6. Ignite the rest of the burners in the same way too.
Barbecuing
PLEASE NOTE!
■ Hot steam may escape when the lid is opened. You should
therefore keep your head and hands out of the danger zone.
There is a danger of scalding.
■ Do not heat any unopened food containers as a build-up of
pressure may cause the containers to burst.
■ Use barbecue utensils with long, heat-resistant handles.
1. Preheat the barbecue once the burners have been ignited:
Close the lid and wait until the temperature you want is dis-
played on the thermometer in the lid.
Once it has preheated, you can switch off the burners that
you do not need. To do this, turn the control knobs to the Off
position.
2. Open the lid and place the food to be barbecued on the grill
rack or another accessory that you are using.
3. If you want to produce a high temperature in the barbecue
chamber and the food should be cooked more evenly from all
sides, close the lid.
4. Reduce the burner power if necessary by turning the control
knob towards the Min (lowest power) position.
5. As soon as the food being cooked is as brown as you want it
to be, turn it using barbecue tongs.
Taking the Barbecue Out of Operation
1. Shut off the gas supply on the gas cylinder.
2. Turn all control knobs to the Off position.
3. Allow the barbecue to cool down before you move it.
4. Clean the barbecue once it has cooled down (see the "Clean-
ing and Maintenance" chapter). Excessive accumulations of
food residues and cooking fat may cause what is known as a
grease fire.
BARBECUE TIPS
1. Before you start barbecuing, get everything together that
you will require. When you barbecue, you should always have
an eye on the barbecue and the food being cooked and not
need to keep going in the kitchen.
2. Before you cook meat, it should be at room temperature to
ensure good, even cooking.
3. Use clean grill racks. The new food you are cooking will
stick to any residues on the grill rack.
4. Food that has had a small amount of oil brushed on it
will brown more evenly and stick to the grill rack less.
5. Rub oil onto grill racks before you barbecue so that the
food being cooked does not stick.
6. Always preheat the barbecue with the lid closed so that
the food being cooked does not stick to the grill rack and
searing is possible. This will also burn off any residues from
your last barbecue. Even if you want to cook on a medium or
low heat, you should still preheat the barbecue.
