5. Fitting and Changing the Hose and Gas Cylinder
• NOTE! When installing the tailpiece, ensure it is held straight while tightening the tailpiece nut, in order to
prevent a possible gas leak. Tighten with a suitable spanner. (Fig. 5)
• I 3B/P (30), I 3B/P (37) and I 3+ (28-30/37) Appliance categories: Fit the valve tailpiece onto the valve
by screwing it on in an anti-clockwise direction. Push an approved hose onto the valve tailpiece until
it is properly seated. On the other end, attach a suitable low pressure regulator (I3B/P (30) : 30mbar
Butane/Propane configurations regulator; I3+(28-30/37): 30mbar Butane regulator or 37mbar Propane
regulator); I3B/P(37): 37mbar Butane/Propane configurations regulators). Again making sure that
the hose is well seated. The type of hose used shall comply with the relevant EN standard and locate
requirement. In South Africa the regulator used must comply with SANS 1537.
• I 3B/P (50) Appliance category: Screw a Hose with the correct threaded fittings on each end, onto the
left hand ¼“ BSP thread of the Valve. Attach a suitable 50mbar low-pressure regulator on the other end
of the hose. The hose assembly used must comply with DIN 4815 part 2 or equivalent.
• The hose length should be no less than 800mm and shall not exceed 1.5m. Check the manufacture date
on the hose and replace when necessary or when national regulations require it.
• Do not twist or pinch hose. Ensure the hose does not come into contact with any surfaces that would
become hot during use.
• Before fitting the regulator to a gas container, ensure that the seal on the regulator is in position and in good condition. This should be
done with every connection and before every use.
• Before fitting your gas cylinder, ensure that the Valves are all in the “OFF” position by turning the Control Knob clockwise to its stop.
• Ensure that the gas container is fitted or changed in a well-ventilated location, preferably outdoors, away from any source of ignition such
as naked flames or electric fires and away from other people.
• Making sure that the gas container is kept upright, screw the regulator onto the container until it is fully engaged. Hand-tighten only.
• If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), close the cylinder valve immediately and follow the procedure to detect and stop a leak
under Section 3. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it outside using soapy water only, which is applied to the joints. A
formation of bubbles will indicate the gas leak.
• Check that all the connections are securely fitted and re-check with soapy water. If you cannot rectify the gas leak, do not use the
appliance. Contact your local CADAC stockist for assistance.
• When changing a gas container, firstly close the container valve (if fitted) and then turn the Control Knob clockwise to its stop position.
• Ensuring that the flame is extinguished, unscrew the regulator. Refit a full container following the same precautions as described above.
6. Lighting the appliance
Precautions to observe before lighting.
• After prolonged storage, inspect the Air Holes in the Valve Cover for insects, which may affect gas flow. Inspect the inlet of the Venturi
for insects. After checking, refit all components into the prescribed position.
• Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.
Using the control knob
The control knob is fitted with two positive stop positions, one at low, and one at Ignite / High. This limits the adjustment of the flame to
between these two points.
Lighting up using the Piezo Igniter
• To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push in and turn the control knob in an anti-clockwise direction until you hear a click.
If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, push in, and turn the control knob fully clockwise. Try again, by pushing in and turning the
control knob anti-clockwise until you hear a click. If the gas has not ignited in the first two to three seconds you should close the control
valve by pushing in the control knob, and turning it fully clockwise. Wait approximately thirty seconds to let any accumulated gas within
the burner pan assembly escape. Repeat the above process if necessary until the flame ignites. The flame should normally light up within
the first one or two seconds.
Lighting up using a BBQ lighter
• When starting cold, the appliance may be lit from the top prior to fitting the desired cooking surface onto the fat pan. When lighting up
a hot appliance however, it is recommended that this be done by sticking barbecue lighter through one of the Vent Holes underneath the
Burner, until it is in line with the burner(DO NOT place the BBQ lighter through the large hole directly underneath the burner). Ignite the
BBQ lighter. Whilst the BBQ lighter is lit, push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to light the burner.
General
• Once the appliance is lit, the flame intensity may be adjusted by turning the valve knob anti-clockwise to reduce the flame, or clockwise
to increase the flame.
• The fully closed position is at the furthest clockwise position. To rotate the valve from the fully closed position it is necessary to first
depress the knob just enough to move out of the lock mechanism. While holding the knob in, turn it in an anti-clockwise direction. Once
the spindle has moved out of the lock position it is no longer necessary to keep the control knob depressed and it can be rotated freely to
the desired flame setting.
• The flame may be observed through the Inspection Hole provided for this purpose on the side of the fat pan.
• When cooking food with a high fat content, flaring may occur if the selected heat setting is too high. Should this happen, turn the heat
down until the flaring ceases.
• Do not move the appliance when in use as, apart from being an unsafe practice, to move the appliance whilst lit, may cause flaring.
• After use, first close the valve on the gas container (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the valve on the
appliance by pushing in and turning the Control Knob fully clockwise.
