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 connec-
tion (left-hand threading). Do not use an extra gasket!
• Tighten the gas hose union nut securely using a size 17 span-
ner; 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 facili-
tate sliding onto the hose). Fix the connection with the hose
clamp.
• Connect the other end of the gas hose with the pressure reg-
ulator included.
Separate instruction manuals are included with the gas hose
and the pressure regulator. Follow these instructions very clo-
sely 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 natio-
nal 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 test-
ing, 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
Atten-
tion
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 neces-
sary, tighten all of the screws again to ensure the BBQ is
standing securely.
• Before use, place the BBQ on a level, solid base located out-
doors.
• Do not in any case place the gas bottle on the support under
the grill.
Before grilling
• Wash off possible rough production residues using warm wa-
ter; in doing so, avoid the use of cleaning agents or dishwash-
ing 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. 15 minutes with a closed lid and high flame without food.
The heat cleans the internal parts and burns away the finish-
ing 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.
Use
Danger Risk of burning!
The grill and grilled foods can become very hot du-
ring use and any contact with them may cause severe
burns.
– Before first use, heat the grill at high heat without any food
for at least 15 minutes. This step cleanses interior parts and
burns off any production residue from coloured components.
Some odours and a little smoke may occur during this step.
This is harmless and of short duration. Make sure there is
sufficient ventilation.
– Keep away from hot parts as any contact can cause severe
burns.
– 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.
Ignition system - lighting using the Piezo igniter
1. Open the grill lid before igniting the burner.
2. Turn all temperature knobs to
(off).
3. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder. Turn on the gas
supply by turning the regulator to On. Do not lean over the
grill surface.
4. To light the burner, push in the left knob and turn it slightly
left
(high flame) while at the same time pressing the Pi-
ezo igniter. Release the Piezo igniter once the burner is lit.
