2. Fitting and Changing the Gas Supply
Connecting the gas supply
• Before connecting the appliance to a gas supply, ensure that the rubber seal on the regulator is in position
and in good condition.
• Before connecting the hose and regulator to the appliance, check that the appliance control knob is in the
“OFF” position.
• Carry out this check each time you fit the appliance to a gas cylinder.
• Blow out any dust from the gas supply opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.
• NOTE! When installing the tailpiece, ensure it is held straight while tightening the tailpiece nut, in order to
prevent a possible gas leak. Tighten with a suitable spanner or hand wheel (Fig. 2a).
• Fit an approved hose and regulator to the appliance.
• Ensure that the gas supply (gas cylinder/gas cartridge) is fitted in a well-ventilated location away from any
source of ignition, such as naked flames and away from other people.
• Do not twist or pinch the hose. Ensure that it is routed away from the stove body so as to prevent
deterioration / damage to the hose caused by heat.
• Make sure that the gas cylinder is kept upright at all times, connect to the cylinder by screwing on hand tight
until fully engaged.
• Ensure that a complete gas seal has been made (check for the smell of gas around the connection joint). Do
not check for leaks with a naked flame. Use warm soapy water only, applied to the joints and connections of
the appliance. Any leakage will show up as bubbles around the leakage area.
• If you cannot rectify the gas leak do not use the appliance. If you are in doubt, contact your nearest
stockist.
Disconnecting and changing the gas supply
• After use, turn the appliance control knob to the “OFF” position and close the gas supply.
• When you need to replace your empty cylinder, make sure that the gas is closed at the cylinder
valve.
• Do not smoke while changing the cylinder.
• Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder.
• Attach the regulator to the full cylinder, refer to the instructions above on how to connect the gas
supply.
• Apply the same care and checking procedures as if fitting a new gas cylinder.
How to check if your gas cylinder is empty
• The easiest way to check if you are low on gas is by picking up your gas cylinder.
• If you think your gas cylinder is feeling a little lighter than you’d like, weighing the bottle is a great way to see how much gas is left. Most
cylinders will have the empty weight stamped on either the neck or foot ring, and if the weight indicated on the stamp and the weight of your
cylinder are the same, you’re out of gas. You can then approximate the amount of gas you have left by the difference in weight.
3. Operating the Appliance
Assembly and use
• The appliance is designed to be portable, therefore the legs and the utility tray are easily removable and dis-assemble for the ease of transport
and use.
• User assembly / dis-assembly is limited to the fitment of the legs, utility tray and the installation / removal of cooking surfaces.
• When assembling the legs, always make sure that the leg securing rings have been securely fastened and that the assembled product is stable
and does not rock. Do not use the appliance without fitting the utility tray as it also plays an important role in ensuring the overall sturdiness of
the appliance.
• Should the heat shield, fat pan or burner pan become damaged in such a way that permanent contact between the heat shield and the fat pan
occurs during use, do not use the appliance. Return it to your stockist for repair.
• Do not cover up or change the air holes in the valve box cover as this will affect the performance of the product and may lead to an unstable
flame.
• When operating this appliance, please take care to ensure that all parts are in good working order and that you have checked for any gas
leaks before lighting the appliance with every use.
• Cooking surfaces can simply be placed and are ready to use. No assembly required.
•
PLEASE NOTE:
Please ensure all protective packaging and plastic are removed from the appliance before use.
• The appliance is designed for use with cooking vessels of not less than 225mm diameter and not greater than 450mm in diameter.
Precautions to observe before lighting.
• Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.
• After prolonged storage, inspect the appliance for any insects and webs, which may affect gas flow.
Using the control knob
The control knob is fitted with two positive stop positions, one at low, and one at ignite/high. This limits the adjustment of the flame to
between these two points.
