Triton PTS 2.0
Danger: Gas is highly flammable
Liquid gas is highly flammable and explosive.
Possible consequences:
• Serious injury to persons or damage to property
if escaping or accumulated gas ignites in an
uncontrolled manner.
Precautions:
• Exclusively use the barbecue outdoors and
ensure that the area is well-ventilated.
• Protect the gas cylinder and the gas hose from
direct sunlight and other sources of heat (max.
50°C). Take particular care to ensure that the
gas hose does not touch any part of the hot
barbecue.
• Close the valve of the gas cylinder immediately
after finishing to use the barbecue.
• When connecting the gas cylinder, make sure
that there are no sources of ignition within a
5 m radius.
• Important 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.).
• Before each use, make sure that all gas
connections are sealed and intact.
• If necessary, replace the gas hose if required to
do so to comply with local legislation.
The barbecue must not be used if the
connections for the gas supply are porous or
defective. This also applies, for example, to
hoses or fittings that are blocked with insects,
as this can result in a dangerous flashback.
• When igniting the gas flame do not bend over
the barbecue, as deflagration can occur if gas
has accumulated in the fire bowl.
For the same reason,
never re-ignite
immediately if the flame goes out, instead:
– Turn the flame regulators (2 x B) to "Off" to
interrupt the supply of gas.
– Wait for 3 minutes to ensure that any
accumulated gas has dissipated.
– Then re-ignite the burners (see chapter
"Operation").
Danger: Gas displaces oxygen
Liquid gas is heavier than oxygen. Therefore it
settles on the ground and displaces the oxygen
at that level.
Possible consequences:
• Suffocation resulting from a lack of oxygen if
the concentration of gas is allowed to rise to a
certain extent.
Precautions:
• Exclusively use the barbecue outdoors in a well
ventilated area and above ground (i.e. not in
areas that are below ground level).
• Close the valve of the gas cylinder immediately
after finishing to use the barbecue.
• If the barbecue is not going to be used for a
prolonged period, cut off the supply from the
gas cylinder and store properly:
– 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!
