Exercise caution when handling gas cylinders!
Only gas cylinders with a maximum gross weight of 11 kg may be placed on the cylinder stand provided –
see assembly instructions. The maximum length of the gas hose must not exceed 1.5 metres.
Make sure that there are no leaking joints:
•
Every time before starting up the appliance and whenever the gas cylinder has been replaced,
carry out the "gas-tightness test".
•
After use turn off the gas supply at the cylinder.
Gas cylinders must not be exposed to temperatures above 50 °C and must never be stored in enclosed spaces
or cellars/basements. Always observe and follow the safety instructions marked on the gas cylinders used.
Gas cylinder safety instructions
•
Always turn off the valve on the cylinder before disconnecting the cylinder from the appliance.
•
When replacing the gas cylinder, keep it well away from possible sources of ignition.
•
Never store and replace gas cylinders in enclosed spaces, but in well ventilated rooms/areas.
•
The gas cylinder must always be fitted upright, and transported and stored with the safety cap fitted.
•
You can place the gas cylinder either in the casing or on non-flammable flat ground beside your gas
grill.
•
Never expose gas cylinders to excessive heat.
•
Never attempt any DIY modifications to a gas cylinder connector. Consult the manufacturer or an au-
thorised specialist retailer.
•
Have the gas cylinder checked every 10 years at an authorised dealer. The inspection data is imprinted
on the cylinder.
•
The gas has a similar smell to natural gas. You should be able to recognise that smell.
•
The gas is heavier than air. That means that escaping gas may collect in low level locations and not dis-
perse.
•
Handle "empty" gas cylinders just as carefully as full ones.
•
Always fit the safety cap on the gas cylinder when transporting it. For advice on the proper transporta-
tion of gas cylinders, contact your specialist gas appliance retailer.
•
If the grill is to be kept indoors over winter, it is imperative that the gas cylinder is removed. It should
always be stored outdoors in a well ventilated location to which children or third parties do not have
access.
Guidance on potential dangers when using gas
There is an increased risk of fire when barbecuing.
Only use the grill outdoors on a firm and secure surface. Never
stand the grill on surfaces made of combustible materials when in
use. Do not move the appliance while it is in use.
Always have a fire extinguisher ready in case of an accident, fat fire
or mishap (Class F).
Every time before starting up the appliance and whenever the gas
cylinder has been replaced, carry out the "gas-tightness test" accor-
ding to instructions.
•
When replacing the gas cylinder, make sure that all gas valve control
knobs are set to the position "• OFF" and the gas supply is turned off
on the gas cylinder. The gas hose and the gas pressure regulator must
be properly fitted (according to the enclosed assembly instructions).
•
If you suspect any components are leaking, turn off the gas supply on the gas cylinder and then turn the
gas valve control knobs to the position "• OFF". Have the components that carry gas inspected by a gas
appliance specialist.
•
After finishing barbecuing, first turn off the gas supply on the gas cylinder. Then always turn the gas
valve control knobs to the position "• OFF" and check whether the flames have been extinguished.
•
The storage or supply of full or empty gas cylinders in the immediate vicinity of the grill is not permit-
ted.
