3 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Read and follow the instructions

Read the instructions before using the appliance. Always follow
the instructions carefully. Assembling or using the appliance
differently can cause fires and material damage.
Damages caused by not following the instructions
1
(improper assembly, misuse, inadequate maintenance...)
are not covered by the warranty.

3.2 Be cautious with gas

Working with gas is perfectly safe, but requires some extra
caution:
• Always store gas cylinders outdoors, in a well-ventilated
area. Make sure they are not exposed to excessive heat or
direct sunlight.
• Never store your gas cylinder or spare gas cylinder in the
cabinet of your appliance.
• While in use, put your gas cylinder in the cylinder cart at the
side of the appliance.
• Never store your spare gas cylinder near a gas appliance in
use.
• Always turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder after use.
• Never smoke near a gas appliance in use or near a gas
cylinder (full/empty).
If you smell gas, immediately close the gas supply,
1
extinguish all flames and open the lid of the appliance. If
the smell lasts, call your gas supplier or the fire
department.

3.3 Select an appropriate location

Use the appliance outdoors only. Using it indoors, even in a
garage or shed, can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
When selecting an outdoor location, always:
• Place the appliance at least three meters away from any
building, in an open and well-ventilated area.
• Make sure there is a free air flow to the burners and the vent
holes in the cabinet at all times.
• Make sure the appliance is not under an overhanging
structure (a porch, a shelter...) or under foliage.
• Put the appliance on a firm and stable surface. Never put it
on a moving vehicle (a boat, a trailer...).

3.4 Use your common sense

Always use your common sense when using the appliance:
• Use outdoors only.
• Do not move the appliance during use.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended during use,
especially in the presence of children and animals.
• WARNING! Some accessible parts may become very hot.
Keep young children away.
• Use appropriate protection when handling hot parts (lid,
grill...).
• The appliance must be kept away from flammable materials
during use.
• Keep flammable materials, flammable liquids and dissoluble
objects away from an appliance in use.
• Do not use wood, charcoal, lava rocks or ceramic briquettes
on a gas appliance.
• Do not use the appliance when you have consumed alcohol
or taken drugs.
• Do not modify the appliance.

RECURRENT CONCEPTS

This part includes definitions of some less familiar concepts.
These concepts are used in several topics of the manual.

4.1 Venturis

The venturis are the small tubes attached to the entrance of the
burners. At the side of the venturis, there is a hole. This is visible
on the main burners and on the side burner:
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.
