3. Using the appliance

Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.

NB!

Before use, please ensure you insert one penlight battery (AA) into the battery compartment for

the piezo igniters (See Fig 4.)

Before use ensure that the drip cup is in place.

Place the cylinder inside the cabinet in the space provided.

Make sure the gas cylinder is correctly fitted to the appliance.

Ensure the cylinder control valve is in the open position.

To light the appliance using the automatic igniter with the lid open, push in and turn the control knob

in an anti-clockwise direction to allow the gas to flow and then turn the knob anti-clockwise to the

HIGH position. This will cause the automatic lighter to light the burner. Should the burner not ignite

the first time, turn the control knob to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes, repeat the process until

the burner ignites.

Note! Both burners are fitted with an automatic igniter.

To light the burners manually, remove the cooking surface from its location. Ignite a match or

firelighter and position it next to the burner. Turn on the gas supply to that burner only by pushing the

control valve in and turning it in an anti-clockwise direction. This will ignite the burner. Once the

burner is ignited, carefully replace the cooking surface.

Use the control knobs to adjust the individual burner flame intensity to the desired level by turning the

knob anti-clockwise. First to ignite the burner, and further to decrease the heat intensity. To turn the

burner off, Turn the control knob fully clockwise.

After use, first close the valve on the gas cylinder. When the flame is extinguished, close the burner

control valves on the appliance by turning control knobs fully clockwise.

4. Fitting and changing the gas cylinder

Before connecting the appliance to a gas cylinder, ensure that the rubber seal on the regulator is in

position and in good condition.

Carry out this check each time you fit the appliance to a gas cylinder (see fig. 1).

Blow out any dust from the cylinder opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.

Ensure the gas cylinder is fitted or changed in a well ventilated location preferably outdoors, away

from any source of ignition such as naked flames, and away from other people.

Make sure that the gas cylinder is kept upright at all times. Hand tighten the regulator onto the

cylinder until it is fully engaged.

If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas) turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder, and

extinguish all sources of ignition in the vicinity of the appliance. If you wish to check for leaks on your

appliance, use soapy water which is applied to the suspected area. A formation of bubbles will

indicate a 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 cylinder, first close the cylinder valve and then the appliance valve, making

sure the flame is extinguished and unscrew the regulator. Re-fit the regulator to a full cylinder

following the same precautions as described above.

After the appliance has been fully assembled, perform a gas leak test before operating the appliance.

5. General Maintenance

There are no predetermined maintenance intervals for this appliance.

It is dangerous to use an appliance with a cracked or perished seal and/or hose. Inspect both seals

and hose regularly and replace if they are not in order before using the appliance.

If the appliance was in use it will be hot. Allow to cool sufficiently before attempting any maintenance.

CADAC BBQ's are fitted with specific CADAC jets to regulate the correct amount of gas. Should the

hole in the Jet become blocked this may result in a small flame or no flame at all. Do not attempt to

clean the Jet with a pin or other such device as this may damage the orifice, which could make the

appliance unsafe. Refer to Table 1 for jet sizes.

5.1. Replacing a Blocked Jet

NOTE:

Ensure the cylinder valve is closed, then disconnect the appliance from the gas cylinder.

Remove the cooking surface to expose the burner.

Remove the Burner to expose the five jets.

NOTE:

Ensure not to mix the jets, as they differ in size, and thus will interfere with the performance

and safety of the appliance.

Unscrew the blocked Jet with a suitable spanner and replace it with a new Jet. Do not use pliers on

the Jet as they can cause damage, making the Jet unusable or impossible to remove.

Do not over tighten as this may damage the Jet. To re-assemble, reverse the above procedure.

5.2. Replacement of Hose

The hose length should not be less than 0.8m or exceed 1.2m. Check the expiry date on the hose and replace when necessary. Fitting of a hose is

described in Section 2. Only an LPG hose that complies with SANS 1156-2, BS 3212 or DIN4815 may be used with this appliance.

5.3. Replacement of Regulator

Use a 30mbar LP gas regulator with gas category I3B/P(30)

Use a 30mbar Butane regulator or a 37mbar propane regulator with gas category I3+.

Use a 37mbar LP gas regulator with gas category I3B/P(37)

It is important that the connection between the regulator outlet and the low pressure hose is tight and that it is secured with a metal hose clamp. Always

check the joint for gas leaks as described in section 4 above.

6. Troubleshooting

A normal flame is blue and may have an orange or yellow tip. If the flame is completely yellow, it may be that the jet is not securely fitted. Re-tighten the jet

to ensure there is no gas leakage. An overfilled gas cylinder can also cause large yellow flames. If this is the case the cylinder should be returned to the
filling station and checked by weight.

Check that the primary air supply apertures (holes) in the Burners are clear and free of obstructions.

If the flame power drops or the gas will not light, check that the gas cylinder still contains gas (shake to hear the noise made by a liquid). If there is still gas,

the jet might have become blocked or partially blocked.

If you suspect a blocked jet, follow the instructions above.
