8 GETTING THE APPLIANCE READY
FOR USE

8.1 Before each use

Each time you use the appliance, make sure that:
• The appliance is in an appropriate location. See "3.3 Select
an appropriate location".
• The gas hose does not drag on the ground and cannot come
into contact with a hot surface or with dripping fat.
• The bowl is clean. We recommend cleaning the bowl after
each use. See "11.2 Cleaning the bowl".
• The burners and venturis are not blocked by insect nests or
spider webs. See "11.3 Cleaning the burners and venturis".
• The burners are assembled correctly. The venturis have to
be placed over the openings of the gas valves.

If you want to be absolutely sure that your gas connection
is okay, you can check your appliance on gas leaks before
each use. See "7 Checking for gas leaks".

8.2 Before first use (in a long time)

If you use the appliance for the first time or for the first time after
a long period of non-use, you have to execute some extra
checks:
• Make sure that you have read, understood and checked all
the instructions in this manual (only before first use).
• Check the appliance for gas leaks. See "7 Checking for gas
leaks".

Also check for gas leaks if your appliance was assembled
by your dealer.
• Clean the burners and venturis (only before first use in a long
time). See "11.3 Cleaning the burners and venturis".
• Burn in the appliance before you put any food on it (only
before first use). See "8.3 Burning in the appliance".

8.3 Burning in the appliance

By burning in the appliance before the first use, you remove
remaining manufacturing greases from the appliance. Proceed
as follows:
1 Light the main burners and set their control knobs to HIGH.
See "9.2 Lighting the main burners".
2 Close the lid and let the appliance burn for 15 minutes. Do
not put any food on the grill yet.

3 After 15 minutes, open the lid and let the appliance burn for
another 5 minutes (control knobs still set to HIGH).

put food on the grill.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

0
To light the burners with the electrical igniter, you have to
install an AA battery in the igniter. That battery is not
supplied with the appliance. You find the battery case of
the igniter on the control panel of your appliance.

9.1 Safety instructions

• Before you light the appliance, execute all checks listed in

"8 Getting the appliance ready for use".

• Make sure the lid is always open when you light a burner.
• Never bend directly over a burner when lighting it.

9.2 Lighting the main burners

9.2.1 U
SING THE IGNITER
1 Open the lid and set the control knobs of the main burners to
OFF.
2 If no other burner is lit yet, open the gas supply and wait ten
seconds. This allows the gas to stabilize.
3 Press the igniter until you hear sparks.
4 While holding the igniter, set the control knob of the middle
burner to HIGH. Always light the middle burner first, never
try to lit all main burners at the same time.
5 If the burner does not light after three attempts, set its
control knob to OFF, close the gas supply and wait 5
minutes. This allows any accumulated gas to escape.
6 Retry lighting the burner. If it still does not light, try lighting it
with a match or refer to "14 Troubleshooting" to determine
the cause of the problem.
7 Once one burner is lit, light the other burners by setting their
control knobs to HIGH.
9.2.2 U
SING A MATCH
1 Place a match in the match holder.
2 Open the lid and set the control knobs of the main burners to
OFF.
3 If no other burner is lit yet, open the gas supply and wait ten
seconds. This allows the gas to stabilize.
