Gas Connection
General Information
The barbecue can be operated with gas cylinders weighing between 5 kg
and 11 kg. Low pressure butane, propane and LPG gas mixtures are
approved.
Your barbecue works best with propane gas and LPG mixtures. Butane
can be used, on account of the power rating of the appliance, the gas
cylinder may however freeze. As a result of this, the gas pressure drops
and your barbecue does not provide full power.
Use a regulator which is certified in accordance with DIN EN 16129.
NOTE:
For information concerning the correct regulator for gas cylinders,
please consult your LPG dealer.
Regulator and Hose
These parts are supplied with the barbecue. You can obtain spare parts
from your dealer or an approved LPG supplier. Only use hoses and regu-
lators at the pressure stated above which are approved for LPG.
Normally, the service life of a regulator is 2 years. It is recommended that
the regulator is replaced within 2 years of the production date.
WARNING:
• The hose that is used must correspond to statutory regulations.
• The use of unsuitable hoses and incorrect regulators is dangerous.
• Before operation, make sure that you use the correct parts.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder
A connection is established via a flexible hose and the correct low pres-
sure regulator. The low pressure regulator should be fitted onto the gas
cylinder.
1. Remove the protective cap and the thread protector on the gas
cylinder.
CAUTION: If the hood is closed, only barbecue at a low setting!
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 temperature.

2. Select a suitable wrench and tighten the coupling nut (attention: left
thread) of the low pressure regulator on the gas cylinder hand-tight.
3. Select a suitable wrench and tighten the coupling nut (attention: left
thread) of the hose on the low pressure regulator hand-tight.
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 figures 23 and 24. 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.
