Connecting The Appliance; Finding Areas With A Bad Seal; Operating The Gas Barbecue; Installation Site - Profi Cook PC-GG 1261 Instruction Manual

Connecting the Appliance
Spider's webs and insects can block the burner or pipe. Before connect-
ing, make sure that the burner and the burner ports are clean.
You will find the gas connection on the right hand side of the appliance
level with the adjustment knobs.
• Select a suitable wrench and tighten the coupling nut (attention: left
thread) of the hose on the barbecue.
The screw connections of the hose must be securely connected to the
appliance and the low pressure regulator.
Finding Areas with a Bad Seal
CAUTION: Before use, check to make sure there are no areas
with a bad seal.
• Never look for sections with a bad seal using a naked flame.
• Use a leak detection spray or soapy water.
Please refer to the adjacent
illustration. Sections with a bad
seal soon become apparent in
soapy water. You need approx.
50 ml in a mixing ratio of 1:3
(liquid soap : water).
1. Make sure that all adjustment
knobs are in the 12 o'clock
position (OFF).
2. Once you have connected all
components as described above, turn the gas on.
3. Spread the soapy water on the hose and all connections. If bubbles
appear at a particular point, the section has a bad seal and it must be
repaired before use.
4. Repeat the test after the repair.
5. After the test, shut the valve on the gas cylinder.
If you find a section with a bad seal that you cannot repair, refer the prob-
lem to a gas technician.
Operating the Gas Barbecue
CAUTION:
If the hood is closed, only barbecue at the setting LOW!
NOTE: When using for the first time
Before preparing food for the first time:
Close the lid and let the gas burn at a LOW setting for 15 minutes.
The smells from the treated surface are eliminated by the high temper-
ature.

Installation Site

The barbecue is for outdoor use only. During use, always place the barbe-
cue and the gas cylinder on even, stable ground. The surface should also
be heat-resistant, as the appliance emits a lot of heat during operation.
CAUTION:
The gas bottle must not be placed underneath the barbecue during
operation.
• The appliance should be protected from drafts and dripping water (e. g.
rain water).
• Remove combustible materials within a radius of 3 m.
• Make sure there is clearance of at least 1 m around the rear and side
walls of the appliances.
• There should not be any obstructions above the barbecue, because of
the rising heat.
• In order to not obstruct the ventilation, do not cover the barbecue in any
way.

knob.
13. In order to switch off the barbecue, close the valve on the gas cylinder.
14. Following this, turn the adjustable knobs to the 12 o'clock position
(OFF).

Heat Distribution on the Barbecue Grille

As a result of the design of burner, the heat distribution is specified as
follows:
Temperature Development in General
Due to the design, the highest temperatures always occur directly at
or above the burners and decrease accordingly towards the top. The
thermometer integrated in the lid can only measure the temperature in
the upper area of the cooking chamber due to its position and nature. The
temperatures displayed are therefore significantly lower than the actual
temperatures at the burners or on the grill surface. The thermometer
therefore serves as a guide for your grilling process.
Tips for Barbecue Cooking
The gas barbecue is a multifunctional appliance. With the hood closed,
you can use your gas barbecue like an oven.
• You don't have to only barbecue meat, fish, vegetables and fruit, you
can also cook them.
• With a closed hood, the temperature should not be allowed to get too
high. A low temperature results in gentle cooking of the barbecue food.
• Monitor the temperature on the thermometer and if necessary, adjust it.
