Igniting the burners
Danger: gas deflagration upon ignition
If unburned gas accumulates, deflagration can
occur when igniting.
Possible consequences:
• This can cause severe injury or damage.
Precautions:
• Do not lean over the barbecue when igniting
the gas flame.
• Never re-ignite immediately if the flame goes
out, instead:
– Turn the flame regulators (3 x B and C) to
"Off" to interrupt the supply of gas.
– Wait for 3 minutes to ensure that any accu-
mulated gas has dissipated.
– Then re-ignite the burners.
Operation
Starting up the barbecue
1. Check to ensure that ....
– there are not, and will not be, any flamma-
ble materials or substances nearby. Minimum
distance to flammable materials or substances:
2 m overhead and 1 m to the side; distance to
flame-resistant materials or substances: at least
0.25 m.
– the barbecue is positioned firmly on a suffici-
ently large area. Do not move it during ope-
ration.
– the barbecue is fully assembled and has no
apparent faults.
2. Open the lid of the grill unit; this prevents gas
building up underneath it.
3. Open the cylinder valve.
4. Check to ensure that the gas system does not leak.
If it does, close the cylinder valve immediately.
5. Make sure the Grease Cup (32) and the Grease
Guide (20) in the correcting position.
Caution:
Observe the maximum load of the shelves (see
Technical Data). Heavier loads can damage the
barbecue.

Igniting the burners
Danger: gas deflagration upon ignition
If unburned gas accumulates, deflagration can
occur when igniting.
Possible consequences:
• This can cause severe injury or damage.
Precautions:
• Do not lean over the barbecue when igniting
the gas flame.
• Never re-ignite immediately if the flame goes
out, instead:
– Turn the flame regulators (3 x B and C) to
"Off" to interrupt the supply of gas.
– Wait for 3 minutes to ensure that any accu-
mulated gas has dissipated.
– Then re-ignite the burners.
When you use the barbecue for the first time,
heat it up for about 20 minutes using the main bur-
ners in order to allow the food-safe coating to cure
(as with any oven).
Igniting the main burner
1. Open the lid on the barbecue unit.
Keep a safe distance from the burners during the
next few steps.
2. Press and hold the ignition button of the pulse
ignition (D). A slight crackling sound indicates that
the electronic pulse igniter is emitting sparks. Press
a flame regulator (B) and turn it anti-clockwise to
the "H" setting ("High").
If the gas fails to ignite within 5 seconds, turn the
flame regulators (5 x B) to "Off" position, wait for
3 minutes and repeat this step.
3. Ignite the other main burners (B) by repeating
step 2.
4. Close the lid of the grill unit and allow the barbe-
cue to heat up at full power.
5. Once the barbecue is heated up, turn the flame
regulator (B) to the desired heat output (flame
size).
6. You can now place your food on the cooking grill
(4+5) or hotplate (3). We recommend that you
wear barbecue mittens or other suitable gloves
for protection against the heat.
To switch off the burners (to extinguish the flame)
press and turn the flame regulators (B) clockwise to
"OFF".
The gas supply is not shut off until all the flame regu-
lators have been set to "OFF".
