• Pay attention to the wind direction when using the grill.
• Never place the grill on or near flammable materials or objects.

Connecting the gas bottle
The Box gas grill can be connected to a gas bottle with a capacity of max. 11 kg.

Rules and standards governing gas appliances differ from country to country. The
grill comes with a gas regulator which is compliant with the standards applicable in
the country in which you have bought your grill. If you have bought your grill abroad,
you must ensure that it is suitable for use in the country in which you intend to use
it. The regulator comes with instructions which must be followed when fitting it.

The instructions also describe how to open and close the gas supply. The regulator
must be closed during assembly – depending on the type, it must either be in the
‘off’ position or turned all the way down (by turning clockwise).

Once the gas regulator has been fitted to the hose, the hose must be connected
to the connector on the grill (11). The hose is fitted with a female connector fitting
(12), which must be screwed onto the gas connection point and tightened with an
adjustable spanner. Before using the grill, check that the gas hose does not have
any cracks, holes or scratches. The grill must not under any circumstances be used
if the hose is damaged. Please contact your nearest dealer to order a new gas hose
in the case of damage.

Warning concerning connection of gas bottle:
• Do not connect the gas bottle near open fire or other sources of ignition. Ignition

of escaping gas can result in serious personal injury or damage to property.

Leakage testing
After you have connected one end of the hose to the connector on the grill and the
other end to the regulator, fit the regulator onto the gas bottle (13). Make sure that
the two control knobs (7) are closed (D), and that the gas regulator is closed.

Even though you have carefully followed the instructions, the joints must be tested
for leaks. If, at a later stage, you detach the hose either from the gas connection
point or from the regulator, you must repeat the following test:

1. Mix some water and a little washing-up liquid in a bowl.
2. Open the gas bottle regulator.
3. Use a cloth to moisten the joints with soapy water. If bubbles form around a joint,

it is a sign that it is leaking and it must be tightened further. Repeat the test.

4. Wipe any soapy residue from the joints using a damp cloth.

Warning concerning leakage testing:
• Do not carry out the test near open fire or other sources of ignition. Ignition of

escaping gas can result in serious personal injury or damage to property.

Handling and storing gas bottles
Gas bottles contain gas under pressure. When gas is stored under pressure, it
becomes liquid. If you are unsure whether a gas bottle is empty, you can detach
it and gently shake it. If you cannot feel the liquid gas sploshing around inside the
bottle, it is probably empty. When the gas bottle becomes warm, the pressure
in the bottle increases. Gas bottles are made to withstand such increases in
pressure under normal conditions. However, if a gas bottle is exposed to very high
temperatures, there is a risk of leakage. Such high temperatures may occur, for
example, if the bottle is stored in a car in strong sunlight, or if it is placed near a
very strong heat source.

If the gas bottle feels too hot to touch, you must take immediate steps to prevent
further heating and leave it to cool down before handling.

Full and empty gas bottles must be handled with extreme care. They do not
withstand being dropped or treated carelessly. Even though the gas bottle may feel
empty, there is always a certain residual pressure.

Warnings concerning the handling of gas bottles:
• Always ensure that the regulator is closed when connecting or disconnecting a

gas bottle.

• Store full and empty gas bottles outdoors in a well-ventilated place and so that

they are protected from direct sunlight.

• Do not place gas bottles that are not being used near a lit grill.

Varying gas pressure
When the grill is on full and the gas is being burnt quickly, the temperature of the
gas bottle will fall, and thereby the gas pressure. This, however, means that you
may find that a gas bottle which still splashes when shaken does not deliver the
expected gas pressure. In such instances, all you can do is replace the bottle with a
completely full one.

Lighting
The Box gas grill has two burners which can be regulated individually. The back
(14) and front (15) burners are controlled by turning the knob furthest to the left
and furthest to the right, respectively.

The lid must not be closed when the grill is being ignited. Check that the gas
bottle valve is open (ON position, or the regulator is turned as far as it can be
anticlockwise).

1. The back (14) and front (15) burners can be ignited independently of each other,

so decide which burner you want to light first. Push and then turn the knob for
the selected burner anticlockwise to position E. Then press the spark lighter
– several times, if necessary – to light the gas. Each time you push the spark
lighter (8), you will hear a click as the ignition system produces a spark to ignite
the gas.
