ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION
Assemble the product according to these instructions.
Note the labeling of appropriate gases listed on your BBQ and ascertain that the gas you have is
suitable for your BBQ. Butane or propane is used throughout Europe. Be aware that several different
valves for gas tanks exist, and that the regulator must connect appropriately to your LPG tank. Never
try forcing the tank valve to fit the "click on" regulator. Seek assistance from the supplier if problems
should arise. Never make adjustments to low-pressure regulator and hose couples. The gas hose
must be inspected for signs of damage/leakage prior to being used. If any of these parts are being
replaced, use only parts specified by the manufacturer. The regulator and gas hose should be
secured by using hose clamps, which are tightened with the use of a screw driver. Do not secure any
attachments with tape, or similar materials don't mean for LPG.
When the gas tank is not in use, it must be closed, and disconnecting the regulator is advisable. Gas
tanks not in use are to be stored outdoors in a well ventilated place, out of reach from children. Make
sure that the tank is placed in an upright position and on an evenly surfaced ground. Additional gas
tanks are not to be stored underneath or in proximity to the BBQ.
Check for possible leakage.
Please check for leakage the first time you are connecting the BBQ to the gas tank, and also each time
you are replacing the gas tank. To check for leakage, open the gas supply from the gas tank, but do not
switch on the burners inside the BBQ. The gas hose(s) will fill with gas. Then pour water with soap
over all connections. A spray, replacing the water and soap, can be obtained from the supplier. Any
leakage will result in bubbles within approx. 20 seconds. If a leakage is detected, tighten the connection.
If the leakage does not terminate, contact your supplier. Never use an open flame to search for leaks!
Preparing the grill plate and the griddle. (Only applies to BBQs where this is made of cast iron).
This applies only to BBQs with cast iron. Other surfaces should be cleaned prior to usage. Use a
detergent to remove possible remnants of grease and/or oil from manufacturing. Wipe dry, then threat
both sides of the plate with cooking oil. Re-install the plates, turn on the burners and leave them
burning in a low position for 15-20 minutes, or until it stops oozing. Burning at maximum heat for
approx.10 minutes is recommended after each use, to clean the cast iron griddles. Remnants of food
and sot are then removed using a steel brush, which can be obtained from your supplier.
NOTE: The griddles should also be saturated with oil after usage and if the BBQ is not to be used for a
longer period of time. Failure to do this will result in a layer of rust on the surface.
Porcelain and Teflon
These grill plates should be washed with diluted soap water prior to usage; steel brushes or other
should never be used for cleaning. The grill plates will last longer if they are kept cleaned, and
remnants of food are "burned off" after each use.
Maintenance
Your BBQ should be kept clean not to deteriorate. The surface will need similar treatment to that of a
car, and the BBQ should be protected by a fitted cover when stalled. Clean the BBQ thoroughly on a
regular basis, and cover it with a thin layer of neutral oil (acid free oil). Oils used for sowing machines
or weapons are suitable. Movable parts such as the hinges, wheel nuts and doors should be sprayed
with a lubricant.
The burners also need maintenance. Keep these clean by brushing them, and assure that the holes are
kept open and free of dirt. If your BBQ has cast iron burners, these should be covered with cooking oil
a few times per season and always at the end of each season – before stalling the BBQ for a longer
period of time!
