Mounting the gas hose
• Depending on national regulations, there are two ways to
connect the gas hose to the grill. First take the protective cap
off the gas connection if present.
Method 1:
• Firmly screw one end of the gas hose onto the gas connection
(left-hand threading). Do not use an extra gasket!
• Tighten the gas hose union nut securely using a size
17 spanner; at the same time hold the gas connection in place
with pliers or a second size 17 spanner.
Method 2:
• Run a hose clamp of the right size a few centimetres over
the loose end of the gas hose. Then slide this end onto the
gas connection (wet the gas connection somewhat to facilitate
sliding onto the hose). Fix the connection with the hose clamp.
• Connect the other end of the gas hose with the pressure
regulator included.
Separate instruction manuals are included with the gas hose and
the pressure regulator. Follow these instructions very closely
when you connect the pressure regulator to the gas hose and
gas container (the figures may differ for the hose, pressure
regulator and gas container depending on the respective national
standards).
Lay the hose so that it is not kinked or twisted.
Warning!
Prior to use test all connections for gas leaks.
Always perform the test using soapy water. Never use an open
flame to detect leaks.
Checking for gas leaks
• Mix one part dishwashing liquid with 3 parts water. For testing,
approx. 50 ml of soapy water is needed.
• Make sure all temperature regulators are set to
(off).
• Connect the regulator with the gas bottle and turn on the
burner using the left temperature regulator. Ensure that the
connections are securely made.
• Turn on the gas intake.
• Apply the soapy water to the hose and to all connections. If
bubbles appear, a leak is present.
• Fix the leak and then start the test again.
• Switch off the gas once the test has been concluded.
• If a leak is found and it cannot be repaired, do not attempt to
repair the leak further. In this case, contact a professional.
• Do not use the BBQ until the leak has been properly repaired.
Setting up the BBQ
Attention Risk of damage!
During use, the screws can loosen slowly and
impair the BBQ's stability.
– Check the stability of the screws prior to each use. If necessary,
tighten all of the screws again to ensure the BBQ is standing
securely.
• Before use, place the BBQ on a level, solid base located
outdoors.
• Do not in any case place the gas bottle on the support under
the grill.
• Push down the levers of the brake wheel on the left side to
secure the device against rolling away. Always secure the
BBQ against rolling away during grilling. Push the levers up to
release the wheels and move the BBQ.
Before grilling
• Wash off possible rough production residues using warm
water; in doing so, avoid the use of cleaning agents or
dishwashing liquid.
• Rub the BBQ grate by a cloth wetted with cooking or frying oil.
• Pre-firing
Before barbecuing for the first time, heat up the BBQ for a min.
30
minutes with a closed lid and high flame without food. The
heat cleans the internal parts and burns away the finishing
residues of coloured BBQ parts. In the process, odours and
some smoke may develop. However, this is harmless and only
lasts a short time. Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Preheating
It is recommended that you preheat the BBQ before each use
for approx. 10-15 minutes with a closed lid.
Using the gas grill
Danger Risk of burning!
The grill and grilled foods can become very hot during
use and any contact with them may cause severe
burns.
– Keep away from hot parts as any contact can cause severe
burns. Do not touch the dark areas of the lid handle, because
the handle is not heat-insulated here. The dark areas are
getting strongly heated in the course of grilling. See the
following figure.
– Always wear kitchen or grilling gloves when grilling.
– Use long-handled grilling utensils with heat-resistant handles
only.
– Do not wear any clothing with wide sleeves.
Danger Risk of explosion!
Before lighting the grill, read the following instructions
on turning on/lighting as well as all warning and safety
instructions.
– Check the grill for cracks, cuts and other damages before use.
– Do not use the grill if the gas hose is damaged or porous.
– Open the grill lid before igniting the burner. Failure to do so
may result in an explosion causing severe physical injury or
death.
