Lighting the appliance using the piezo
• It is recommended to remove any cooking surfaces when trying to light the appliance. This way it will be easy to see the
burner when it is lit.
• To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push in and turn the control knob 90° in an anti-clockwise direction, then
press the piezo button to ignite the gas. If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, turn the control knob back to its OFF "•"
position. Try again, by pushing and turning the control knob anti-clockwise and push the piezo button to ignite the gas. If the
gas has not ignited in the first two to three seconds you should close the control valve by turing the control knob back to its
OFF "•" position.
• Do not hold in the piezo button or control knob for more than 15 seconds.
• If after 15 seconds the burner has not lit, stop operating the device and wait at least 1 minute, allowing acumulated gas to
escape, before attempting a further ignition of the burner.
• Repeat the above process if necessary until the flame ignites. The flame should normally light up within the first one to two
seconds.
• In the event of the burner flames being accidentally extinguished, turn the control knob to the OFF "•" position and do not
attempt to re-ignite the burner for at least 1 minute.
Lighting up using a BBQ lighter
• When starting cold, the appliance may be lit from the top prior to fitting the desired cooking surface. When lighting up a hot
appliance, it is recommended that this be done by sticking a barbecue lighter through one of the vent holes underneath the
burner, until it is in line with the burner (DO NOT place the BBQ lighter through the large hole directly underneath the burner).
Ignite the BBQ lighter. Whilst the BBQ lighter is lit, push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to light the burner.
General
• Once the appliance is lit, the flame intensity may be adjusted by turning the control knob anti-clockwise to reduce the flame
or clockwise to increase the flame.
• When cooking food with a high fat content, flaring may occur if the selected heat setting is too high. Should this happen, turn
the heat down until the flaring ceases.
• Do not move the appliance when in use. It is unsafe practice to move the appliance whilst lit and may cause flaring.
• After use, first close the control valve on the gas cylinder (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the
control valve on the appliance.
GreenGrill cooking
Most CADAC | Dometic cooking surfaces have our GreenGrill coating. This ceramic coating is completely PFOA-free; it
contains no toxic substances, and guarentees healthier cooking!
Preparation and use
• 'Seasoning': before using the cooking surface for the first time, you can season it to give the cooking surface a thin protective
layer that prevents food from sticking. It is not required but we do recommend it. It's very easy: lightly rub cooking oil on the
surface and then place over medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes. When it cools, wash the cooking surface with soapy water before
use and grease it lightly with some oil (cooking oil of your choice, e.g. sunflower oil). It's ready to go!
• Note: GreenGrill coating conducts heat better than products with a regular (PTFE) non-stick coating. We therefore
recommend using only 75% of the power of what you are used to.
• Never leave the cooking surface on the heat source without oil. Apply a thin layer of oil with a kitchen paper towel or a brush
before placing the cooking surface on the heat source. Make sure you have oiled all parts, so with e.g. a BBQ grid include the
raised edges as well.
• We recommend frying in sunflower oil or rapeseed oil because of the high burning point. Olive oil can have a relatively low
burning point, which can cause the ingredients to stick to the pan or burn. We therefore do not recommend using olive oil.
Tip: bring meat or fish to room temperature before frying. This will prevent sticking to the cooking surface.
• Always use silicone and/or wooden utensils so that the GreenGrill coating is not damaged. Never use metal utensils as this
can damage the coating.
Cleaning your cooking surfaces
• Always allow cooking surfaces to cool completely before immersing it in water.
• The GreenGrill coating is 'Easy Clean'. Warm soapy water with a soft sponge is sufficient for cleaning the cooking surfaces
with GreenGrill coating. Avoid scouring pads or steel wool.
• For stubborn stains or residues, you can try the 'vinegar method': pour a layer of vinegar into the pan and heat the pan
slightly. The vinegar does not have to boil and should certainly not evaporate completely. Pour the vinegar out of the pan,
clean the pan with soapy water and the pan is as good as new. Note: heating vinegar can give off an unpleasant smell.
• The CADAC | Dometic Soft Soak (sold seperately) is the ideal companion product to facilitate soaking. When using the Soft
Soak, we recommend placing the cooking surface face down which allows for maximum soaking and also uses less water.
• Any stubborn stains that remain after soaking, can be loosened and brushed away using the CADAC | Dometic Soft Soak
Brush (sold seperately).
Maintenance
• We recommend to add a little oil to the cooking surface after cleaning and spread it with kitchen paper. The oil seals the
surface from the outside air and moisture. It also ensures that the food does not burn into the surface.
• Place the cooking surface in a plastic bag before you put it into its storage bag so you are ensured the storage bag remains
clean and oil free.
