MAINTAINING THE GAS GRILL
Fire and explosion hazard
• The gas system may only be repaired and serviced by authorized specialist personnel. Do not make
any changes to the gas grill or pressure regulator.
• Change the pressure regulator and hose after 2 years maximum, even if no external damage is noti-
ceable. Make sure the pressure regulator is approved for the gas used and set to the correct outlet
pressure (see specifications). A new hose may not be longer than 1.5 meters.
Measures in case of gas odour
• Close the gas supply, extinguish all open flames and open the lid.
• If the smell of gas is still present, keep away from the appliance and inform your gas supplier or the
fire brigade.
Fire-fighting measures
• Get people around you to safety! If possible, close the valve on the gas cylinder. Cool the gas cylinder
with water. Pay attention to your safety. Spontaneous, explosive reignition is possible.
• In case of fire, filled pressurised gas containers should be removed from the area threatened by the
fire. If this is not possible, the compressed gas containers must be kept from overheating by suitable
means, like spraying with water from a protected position.
• If a grease fire should break out, try (if possible) to switch off the burners, close the lid until the fire is
extinguished.
• Caution: Never try to extinguish an oil or grease fire with water.
• Keep away from the source of the fire and inform the fire brigade immediately.
FIRST AID MEASURES
What to do in case of gas inhalation
• Inhaling high gas concentrations can lead to suffocation. Possible symptoms include loss of mobility
and unconsciousness. The victim does not realise that he or she is suffocating. If inhaled in low con-
centrations, the gas can cause dizziness, headaches, nausea, and problems with coordination.
• Move the victim to fresh air. Contact a doctor or rescue service. In case of respiratory arrest, initiate
artificial respiration.
What to do in case of severe burns or scalds
• There is an acute risk of hypothermia and shock. Call the emergency services immediately!
• Immediately douse burning clothes with water or smother the flames with a thick blanket.
• Burns: leave clothes on the body.
• In case of scalding: remove clothing immediately.
• Cool the affected area with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain subsides.
• Cover the affected area with a sterile Metalline towel. Apply the Metalline-coated side to the injured
skin and fix it loosely with a gauze bandage or a triangular cloth.
• Do not use "home remedies" such as ointments, powders, oils, disinfectants, etc.!
• Measures for minor burns or scalding
• Burns: remove clothing only if it does not stick to the body.
• In case of scalding: remove clothing immediately.
