Connecting the gas bottle
• Choose a suitable location for the grill so that the gas bottle can be connected safely. This should be a
level, paved and sufficiently large area outdoors, in a well-ventilated place.
• Make sure that the grill is secure and stable and that the transport wheels are blocked to prevent accidental
movement.
•
Standard cylinders with a loading weight of 5 or 11 kg can be used;Open the door of the gas cylinder
compartment and place the gas cylinder inside the hole of bottom panel of the compartment.
• Connect the gas hose (I) of the pressure regulator to the grill's connection. Use a suitable open-end
spanner to securely tighten the connection.
• Remove the protective cap (D) from the valve thread (C) on the gas cylinder.
CAUTION: The gas bottle thread (C) is a left-hand thread, so the protective cap must be unscrewed
clockwise.
• Hand-tighten the cap nut (E) of the pressure regulator (F) onto the valve thread (C) counterclockwise. Do
not use tools like pliers for this step, as it may damage the cylinder seal and lead to gas leakage.
• Ensure that the cap nut of the gas hose (H) is securely connected to the connection thread (G) of the
pressure regulator. Tighten the cap nut (H) firmly with a 17 mm open-end spanner.
• Open the gas cylinder valve (B) and perform the gas leakage test as described below.
• Close the gas cylinder valve (B) if you do not intend to use the grill immediately.
Disconnecting the Gas Bottle
• Close the gas bottle valve (B).
• Remove the cap nut (E) from the pressure regulator (F) by unscrewing it clockwise by hand.
• Pull the pressure regulator (F) off the valve thread (C) of the gas bottle.
• Secure the valve thread (C) of the gas bottle with the protective cap (D).
Before using the appliance for the first time, after a long period of non-use, or if you notice a gas smell,
be sure to conduct a comprehensive leak test on all gas pipes and connections. You have two options
for this:
1.) Use a leak detection agent available in specialized shops (ensure you follow the operating
instructions for the leak detector.)
2.) Perform a soap test.
To conduct this test, you'll need a connected gas bottle. Follow these steps:
- Mix water with washing-up liquid in a 1:1 ratio and fill this soapy water into a clean, empty
spray bottle.
- Ensure all the grill knobs are set to "OFF" or "-".
- Open the valve on the gas bottle.
- Spray the soapy water on all gas connections, gas lines of the gas grill, the gas bottle, and
the pressure regulator. Check for the presence of any bubbles.
In case of bubble formation:
- Close the gas bottle valve and set the control knob to "OFF" or "-".
- Tighten any leaking fittings.
- Replace any defective gas pipes or hoses.
- Repeat the soap test.
If, even after replacing defective gas pipes or hoses and tightening the fittings, you are still unable to
prevent gas from escaping, please contact our customer service.
WARNING: Operating the gas grill with a leaking gas supply is strictly prohibited.
