5. USE AND MAINTENANCE
Do not block the ventilation openings of the plancha.
Position the gas bottle on the ground level next to the plancha and safely away from any
source of heat or prolonged sunshine.
If you need to replace the gas bottle, ensure that the plancha is turned off and that no
potential source of fire (cigarette, naked flame, spark, etc.) is nearby before starting.
Make sure that the gas hose is not pinched or twisted.
Connect the rubber gas hose to the connection located outside the plancha so that it will
not touch any hot parts.
The hose should not touch any hot parts of the plancha, except the connection point.
Make sure that all the control knobs on the plancha are turned off.
The hose should be approved according to EN16436-1:2014.
The hose must comply with
the national laws and regulations in the destination country. The
rubber hose should be
replaced before the end of its life.
The hose must be free of any twists or tension. It should hang freely with no bends, folds, or
kinks that could obstruct free flow of gas. No part of the hose should touch any hot
parts of the plancha.
Make sure the hose has no cuts, cracks or excessive wear before each use. If the hose
is damaged, it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use with LPG according to the
national laws for the country of use.
The length of the hose must not exceed 1.5m.
Connect the regulator to the gas bottle according to the instructions of the regulator supplier.
