Stainless Steel Surfaces
• Use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use any abrasive pastes!
• Otherwise you can use warm water, a household cleaner
and a sponge for cleaning. Then rinse the surfaces with clear
water and dry them with a soft cloth.
L
If the barbecue is exposed to a particularly harsh environ-
ment, the outside of the barbecue must be cleaned more
frequently. In an environment containing chloride and
sulphide, in particular in coastal regions, stainless steel
may also oxidise or display spots. Salt water, acid rain,
close proximity to pools and hot tubs and other extreme
conditions characterised by great heat and humidity may
cause spots to be formed. These spots are sometimes
confused with rust.
They can easily be removed and avoided: Wash off the
spots with warm water and a household cleaner, rinse
the surface with clear water and dry it. Rub down all
stainless steel surfaces every 3 to 4 weeks with tap water
and a cleaning agent for stainless steel to prevent the
formation of spots.
Painted, Enamelled Surfaces and Plastic Parts
■
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents.
• Only use warm water with a little household cleaner and pa-
per towels or a soft cloth for cleaning. Clean the surface, rinse
it down and wipe it dry.
Cleaning Gas-Carrying Components (If Necessary)
Gas-carrying components may become blocked and need to be
cleaned if
• you smell gas and the burner flame is very yellow and weak.
• the temperature you want is not reached.
• the burner heats up unevenly or the flame flickers.
Clean them as follows:
• Clean the whole of the outer surface of the burners with a
clean wire brush to remove any food residues and dirt.
When
you are cleaning, make sure that the ignition electrode
is not bent or damaged.
Brush carefully around the ignition
electrode.
• In particular, make sure that at each burner tube the gas
outlet and air inlet openings or the venturi tube are clear. If
necessary, clean them for example with a pipe cleaner or with
compressed air.
• If you need to, you can clean the gas connection and the
connections on the gas hose with a soft brush.
Maintenance Tasks
PLEASE NOTE!
■
The nozzles may only be replaced by an expert.
The barbecue does not require maintenance if it is cleaned regu-
larly. Despite this, it must be checked from time to time. Base the
intervals on how often it is used and the environmental conditions
under which the barbecue operates.
• Check whether all parts of the barbecue have been provided
and are fitted (visual check).
• Check whether all connections have been provided and are
securely tightened. Tighten them if necessary.
• The gas system must be checked each time that a gas cylinder
is connected (see the “Leak Test” chapter).
• The gas hose must be replaced if it has leaky or damaged sec-
tions or the maximum use-by date (see the “Technical Data”
chapter) has been exceeded.
STORAGE
PLEASE NOTE!
■
Protect the barbecue from strong wind, persistent moisture,
rain, snow, hail or other weather conditions.
■
If you are not going to use the barbecue for a prolonged pe-
riod, disconnect the gas cylinder from the barbecue and store
it properly (see the “Safety Notices” chapter – “Hazards from
Gas Cylinders”).
• Store the barbecue in a dry location outdoors. Cover the bar-
becue (with a weatherproof cover) to protect the components
from moisture, dust, insects or spiders which might get inside
the barbecue and become established there.
• Clean the barbecue before you store it away (see the “Clean-
ing and Maintenance” chapter).
• If the barbecue is stored
indoors
, it must be
disconnected
from the gas cylinder
. Seal it shut properly with a locking
nut and protective cap (depending on the design) and store it
in a well-ventilated place outdoors above ground level (i.e. not
in depressions below ground level).
TROUBLESHOOTING
If despite sufficient care and maintenance a fault does occur, this
chapter may help you to fix it.
If the problem cannot be solved with the steps below, contact
the customer service department (see the cover of these assembly
and operating instructions).
Do not attempt to repair the gas system yourself!
Smell of gas (possibly with very yellow and weak
flame).
Leak in the gas system.
1. Shut off the gas cylinder immediately.
2. Do not create any flames or sparks (do not switch on any
electrical devices).
3. Tighten all the screw connections of the gas system.
4. Check all gas-carrying parts for external damage; replace
defective parts with genuine replacement parts.
5. Check for leaks (see the “Leak Test” chapter).
The burners are blocked.
►
Clean them in the manner described in the “Cleaning and
Maintenance” chapter – “Cleaning Gas-Carrying Components
(If Necessary)”.
The nozzle of the adjustment element (behind the front panel) or
other gas system is blocked.
►
Have the gas system cleaned by an expert.
Burner does not ignite.
The gas cylinder is empty.
►
Replace the gas cylinder.
The burner is blocked.
►
Clean it in the manner described in the “Cleaning and Main-
tenance” chapter – “Cleaning Gas-Carrying Components (If
Necessary)”.
For the side burner: The ignition cable is not plugged on the
ignition.
►
Visual check. Plug on the ignition cable if necessary.
The nozzle of the adjustment element (behind the front panel) or
other gas system is blocked.
►
Have the gas system cleaned by an expert.
The ignition is defective.
►
Have the ignition checked and repaired or replaced by an
expert.
