Disconnecting the gas cylinder
1. Close the cylinder valve.
2. Store the pressure regulator with the gas hose under
the barbecue. Make sure the gas hose is not kinked or
twisted in any way.
3. Store the gas cylinder correctly:
– Fit the gas cylinder valve with a cap nut and safety
cap.
Do not store the gas cylinder in rooms below ground
level, in or near stairways, hallways or passages and
thoroughfares between buildings.
Always store gas cylinders upright, even if they are
empty!
Connecting the gas cylinder
1. Press the regulator onto the gas cylinder outlet
Do not use any tools for this, as the cylinder valve seal
could be damaged in the process, resulting in leaks.
2. Make sure that the pressure regulator and the gas hose
are securely connected.
3. Check to make sure the connection between the pres-
sure regulator and gas cylinder are secure.
Make sure that the hose is not kinked or twisted in
any way and that it is not under tension.
4. Open the cylinder valve and use a standard leak detector
to make sure that all of the connections are tight.
–
Please observe the instructions for the leak indicator!
Never check for leaks using a naked flame. Listening
for leaks is not a reliable method of detection.
–
If a leak is detected, close the cylinder valve immedi-
ately and tighten the loose connection or replace the
leaking part. Repeat the leak test.
5. If you do not wish to barbecue immediately, close the
cylinder valve.
Before starting
• Select a suitable, preferably wind-sheltered area to set
up the barbecue. Make sure that ...
–
there are not, and will not be, any flammable mate-
rials or substances in the vicinity. The minimum
distance to flammable materials or substances must
be 2 m overhead and 1 m to the side of the bar-
becue; the distance to flame-resistant materials or
substances must be at least 0.25 m.
– the barbecue is positioned firmly on a sufficiently lar-
ge area. It must not be moved during operation.
• The cooking island is designed to hold a gas bottle
inside!
–
Never lay the gas cylinder on its side.
– Do not kink the gas hose or apply a tension to it.
• Make sure that the seal in the pressure regulator is pre-
sent and intact. Do not use any additional seals.
• When connecting the gas cylinder ensure that there
are no sources of ignition within a 5 m radius. Impor-
tant note: to avoid the risk of spark-over, do not to
light naked flames, do not smoke and do not actuate
the switches of electric devices (appliances, lights, door
bells, etc.).
