When the gas is on its way to the burners, it passes through the
venturis. Thanks to the holes at the sides, the gas is then mixed
with air and - as a result - with oxygen. This is necessary for a
good ignition in the burners: only the correct mixture of gas and
oxygen will ignite properly and will result in nice flames.
4.2 Burner hoods
The burner hoods are the hoods that you mount above the
burners of your appliance. They protect the burners from
dripping fat. The holes at the sides of the hoods also
distribute the heat over the grill, so it is heated much faster
and more evenly.
4.3 Enamel
Some parts of the appliance are covered in a layer of melted
glass, called enamel. This enamel protects the underlying metal
from corrosion. Enamel is a high-quality material: it is resistant
to rust, does not fade under the influence of high temperatures
and is very easy to maintain.
Because the enamel is less flexible than the
underlying metal, it may get chipped-up easily if the
appliance is manipulated incorrectly. To avoid problems,
be careful when assembling enamelled parts and always
maintain the enamel as described further in this manual.
4.4 Flare-ups
Flare-ups are sudden flames that spark from the bowl when
you are grilling. They are usually caused by dripping fat or
marinade.

ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE
5.1 Safety instructions
•
Do not modify the appliance when assembling it. lt is very
dangerous and not allowed to alter parts that are pre-
assembled and/or sealed by the manufacturer.
•
Always follow the assembly instructions carefully.
•
The user is responsible for the correct assembly of the
appliance. Damages caused by improper assembly are not
covered by the warranty.
5.2 To assemble the appliance
You need a cross-slotted screwdriver, a flat-slot t ed screwdriver
and an AA battery (electrical igniter). There are no batteries
supplied with the appliance.
1.
Put the appliance on a flat and clean surface.
2.
Assemble the appliance as shown on the assembly
drawings. You find them in the second part of this manual,
after the exploded view of your appliance.
Be careful when assembling enamelled parts. The tools
and screws may damage the enamel. Use the provided
fiber washers to protect the enamel around the screws.
The blister packs can contain more screws than
necessary. Screws can be left over after the assembly.
The package includes an emergency kit with spare
assembly parts (screws, beits, fiber washers ... ) you
can use them in case you lost or broke some parts.

CONNECTING GAS TO THE
APPLIANCE
6.1 Which cylinder, hose and regulator?
Before you can connect gas to the appliance, you have to buy
a gas cylinder, hose and pressure regulator. The table below
shows you which cylinder, hose and regulator you have to use.
In Belgium (BE), for example, you have to use a propane cylinder
with a hose and regulator for 37 mbar or a butane cylinder with a
hose and regulator for 28-30 mbar.

This barbecue has been adjusted to be operate with 4,5
to 15 kg butane/propane cylinders with an appropriate
low pressure regulator. We recommend connecting the
appliance to propane. Propane offers a high-quality
combustion and is less sensitive to frost. The height H of
the cylinder must be less than 70 cm, regardless of the
cylinder's width or diameter D.
Buy your pressure regulator and gas cylinder together.
Not all regulators fit all cylinders.
Use only a gas hose and regulator that is homologated
for the country of use.
6.2 Safety instructions
•
Never connect the cylinder directly to the appliance. Always
mount a pressure regulator on the cylinder first.
•
Never modify pre-assembled or sealed parts of the cylinder,
the hose or the pressure regulator.
•
Keep the hose as short as possible (1,5 m maximum) to
prevent it from dragging on the ground.
•
Never distort or twist the hose. Do not pull or pierce the
hose. Keep the hose away from any parts of the
barbecue that get hot. Check that the flexible hose
stretches out normally, without twisting or pulling.
•
It should be replaced if it is damaged or cracked, when
required by national regulations or at the end of the part
lifecycle (f.ex France)
•
Never open the gas supply.
•
Always keep the cylinder in an upright position.
•
Check for leaks each time you make changes to the gas
connection. See "7 Checking for gas leaks".
6.3 Connecting the hose to the appliance
France:
The equipment may be used with two types of flexible
hose:
•
Flexible hose designed to be joined onto ringed tailpieces
on both the barbecue and regulator sides, held firmly
with collars (in accordance with standard XP D 36-110).
recommended length 1.25 m.
•
Flexible hose (according to standard XP D 36-112) fitted
with a G 1/2 threaded nut for fixing to the barbecue and
a M 20 x1.5 threaded nut for fixing to the regulator,
recommended length 1.25 m.
