3.1. Read and follow these instructions
Read the instructions before using the appliance
Always follow the instructions carefully. Assembling or using

Damage caused as a result of a failure to follow the

maintenance, etc.) is not covered by the warranty.
3.2. Exercise caution when handling gas
Working with gas is safe provided that you take some
precautions:
• Always store gas bottles outside of the home in a well-
ventilated space. Ensure that the bottles are not exposed to
high temperatures or to direct sunlight.
• Never store your gas bottle or spare gas bottle in the
cabinet of your appliance.
• Never store your spare gas bottle in the vicinity of a gas
appliance that is in use.
• After use, always close the gas supply at the gas bottle.
• Never smoke in the vicinity of a gas-operated appliance
that is in use, nor in the vicinity of a gas bottle, empty or full.
If you smell gas, close the gas supply immediately,
extinguish all flames, and open the lid on the appliance.
If the smell persists, call your gas supplier or the fire
service.
3.3. Choosing a suitable location
Only use the appliance outside. If you use the appliance
inside, even in a garage or shed, you risk carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Take into account the following when choosing a location:
Place the appliance at least three meters from a building
in an open, well-ventilated location.
• Ensure that there is always plenty of unobstructed air to the
burners and to the ventilation openings in the cabinet.

4. RECURRENT CONCEPTS
This part of the guide lists the definitions of some less familiar
concepts. These concepts are used when discussing various
topics throughout the guide.
4.1. Venturi tubes
The venturi tubes are the small tubes attached at the inlet
to the burners. There is an opening on the side of the venturi
tubes. This is visible on the main burners and, if present,
on the side burner:
The gas passes through the venturi tubes on its way to the
burners. The gas is mixed with air (and, therefore, oxygen)
through the openings in the sides. This is essential for proper
combustion in the burners: proper combustion requires the
correct gas/oxygen mix to deliver nice flames.
4.2. Burner covers
The burner covers are covers placed on top of the burners
on the appliance. They protect the burners from dripping fat.
The openings on the sides of the covers distribute the heat
over the grill so that it is heated up more quickly and more
evenly.
4.3. Enamel
Some parts of the appliance are covered in a layer of melted
glass, also known as enamel. This enamel protects the
underlying metal from corrosion. Enamel is a high-quality
material: it is corrosion-resistant, it does not degrade under
