WARNING
1.
Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS”
section of this manual.
BRAAI INSTALLATION
1. Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence
of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the South African
National Standard 1539, Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases, Correct
LP Gas Cylinder Use.
2. LP gas braai models are designed for use with a standard 9kg LP Gas cylinder, not
included with braai. Never connect your gas braai to an LP gas cylinder that exceeds
this capacity. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check
the connections before each use.
NOTE: The normal flow of gas through the regulator and hose assembly can create a
humming noise. A low volume of noise is perfectly normal and will not interfere with
operation of the braai. If humming noise is loud and excessive you may need to purge air
from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device. This purging procedure
should be done every time a new LP gas cylinder is connected to your braai.
CAUTION: Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the braai burner tubes
during transit and warehousing. These webs can lead to gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire
in and around burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “BURN-BACK” and can cause serious damage to
your braai and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of “BURN-BACK”, it is the most common cause.
In the event of
“BURN-BACK”, where the flame burns back to the jet, immediately turn off the gas supply
at the burner control valve.
After ensuring that the flame is extinguished, re-light the appliance as described below. Should the
appliance again
“BURN-BACK”, close the valves and examine the mixing tube or burner for any
obstructions. If there are no obstructions and the burn back still occurs, call a technician to examine the
appliance and make any necessary repairs.
Do not make any adjustments or modifications to this braai, a qualified LP gas technician should do any
adjustments.
To reduce the chance of “BURN-BACK”, you must clean the burner tubes before assembling your braai,
and at least once a month for maintenance. Also perform this burner tube cleaning procedure if your braai
has not been used for an extended period of time. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the braai.
CAUTION: Beware of Burn-Back
