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!
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
materials or substances nearby. The minimum
distance to flammable materials or substances
must be 2 m overhead and 1 m to the side of
the barbecue; the distance to flame-resistant
materials or substances must be at least 0.25 m.
– the barbecue is positioned firmly on a suffici-
ently large area. It must not be moved during
operation.
– Position the gas cylinder on the base of the trol-
ley below the barbecue.
– 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
present and intact. Do not use any additional seals.
• When connecting the gas cylinder ensure that the-
re 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 (appli-
ances, lights, door bells, etc.).
Connecting the gas cylinder
1. Connect the coupling nut of the pressure regulator
to the cylinder valve thread and tighten the cou-
pling nut by turning it anti-clockwise by hand.
2. Do not use any tools for this, as the cylinder valve
seal could be damaged in the process, resulting in
leaks.
3. Make sure that the pressure regulator and the gas
hose are securely connected.
4. Check to make sure the connection between the
gas hose and adjusting element, as well as the con-
nections between the gas hose are secure.
Make sure that the hose is not kinked or twisted in
any way and that it is not under tension.
5. 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 indi-
cator! Never check for leaks using a naked fla-
me. Listening for leaks is not a reliable method
of detection.
– If a leak is detected, close the cylinder valve
immediately and tighten the loose connection
or replace the leaking part. Repeat the leak test.
– If you do not wish to barbecue immediately,
close the cylinder valve.
