Operating the Gas Barbecue

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• Do not smoke when handling the gas system. Do not place the gas
cylinder in the vicinity of a naked flame.
• Only use the gas barbecue outdoors. Make sure that the gas barbe-
cue is protected from the wind. Do not use the gas barbecue if wind
velocity exceeds 2 m/s.
• Protect the barbecue from rain, moisture, water splashes, etc.
• Place the gas barbecue on a level, stable and fireproof surface.
• Protect the gas cylinder from direct sunlight.
• Before operating the appliance, always check the hose and the pres-
sure regulator for cracks and damage.
• Do not operate the gas barbecue if the pressure regulator, hose or
gas cylinder are defective or if they are not sealed.
• Do not ignite the gas flame with a naked flame. To ignite, use the
electrical ignition that is installed in the appliance.
• In order to protect against gas that flows out by accident, the cylin-
der valve on the gas cylinder should only be opened when the gas
barbecue is operational. After you shut off the barbecue grill, always
make sure that you shut the cylinder valve.
• Make sure there is clearance of at least 1 m around the rear and side
walls of the appliances.
• Whilst operating the appliance, make sure that you maintain a safe
distance from combustible and heat sensitive materials. The distance
should not be less than 3 m.
• Make sure that there are no objects or parts of the building above the
gas barbecue.
• During operation, the surfaces of the gas barbecue are very hot.
Warn people who are standing around and keep well away from
children.
• During operation, do not leave the gas barbecue unattended.
• In the case of a fault, shut the valve of the gas cylinder.
• Before each change of location, both the gas barbecue and the gas
container valve must be turned off. Loosen the union nut on the gas
container's low pressure regulator.
WARNING: RISK OF BURNS
• During operation and afterwards, the temperature of the accessible
surfaces will be very high. Be sure to use fire-proof oven mitts!
• Do not move the gas barbecue when in use. Allow the gas barbecue
to cool down before moving it to another location.

Servicing the Gas Barbecue

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• Repairs and servicing of the gas system should only be carried out
by authorised experts. Do not carry out any changes to the gas bar-
becue or the pressure regulator.
• Replace the pressure regulator after at least 2 years and the hose
after 5 years, even if there are no visible external signs of damage.
Make sure that the pressure regulator is approved for the gas that is
used and is set to the correct output pressure (see Technical data). A
new hose should not be longer than 1.5 m.
• Together with oil, gas forms an explosive mixture. Never attempt to
free stiff valves and control knobs with oil or penetrating oil.

Action when Fighting Fires

• Move persons who are standing around to a safe place! If possible,
close the valve of the gas cylinder. Cool the gas cylinder with water. At
the same time, ensure your own safety! Spontaneous and explosive
re-ignition is possible.
• Only extinguish leaking, burning gas if you cannot stop gas from escap-
ing. All extinguishers can be used.

First Aid Measures

– Measures after inhaling gas
• High concentrations can cause suffocation. Symptoms can include
loss of mobility and consciousness. The victim does not realise the
suffocation are suffocating. Low concentrations can result in dizzi-
ness, headaches, nausea and coordination problems.
• Bring the patient into the open air. Inform a doctor or the emergency
services. In the event that the patient stops breathed, perform artificial
respiration.
– Measures following major burns or scalding
• There is a risk of hypothermia and shock. Call the emergency ser-
vices straight away!
• Extinguish any burning clothing with water straight away or smother
the flames with a thick blanket.
• In the case of scalding: Remove clothing straight away.
• In the case of burns: Keep clothing on the body.
• Cool with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain eases.
• Cover the affected area with a sterile Metalline bandage (for burns).
Apply the side coated with Metalline to the wounded skin and loose-
ly fix with a gauze bandage or a triangular cloth.
• Do not use household remedies such as ointments, powder, oils,
disinfectants etc.!
– Measures following minor burns or scalding
• In the case of scalding: Remove clothing straight away.
• In the case of burns: Only remove clothing if it is not sticking.
• Cool with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain eases.
• In the case of small burns or scalding without any formation of a
blister, allow to heal through exposure to the air. Do not cover with a
plaster or bandage.

Instructions Concerning Transportation

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• Where possible, do not transport the gas cylinder in vehicles where
the storage area is not separated from the driver's cab. The driver
must be aware of the possible dangers associated with the load and
he must know what to do in the event of an accident or emergency.
• Transport the gas cylinder standing upright and secure the gas cylin-
der from falling over or sliding.
• Make sure that the valve of the gas cylinder is closed and has a
good seal.

Storage Notes

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• If the appliance is not being used, the gas cylinder must be discon-
nected from the appliance.
• Keep the gas cylinder out of the reach of children.
• Keep the gas cylinder away from oxidising gases and other materials
that help fires.
