Operating the Gas Barbecue

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• Do not smoke when handling the gas system. Do not place the gas
cylinder in the vicinity of a naked flame.
• Only use the gas barbecue outdoors. Make sure that the gas barbe-
cue is protected from the wind.
• Protect the barbecue from rain, moisture, water splashes, etc.
• Place the gas barbecue on a level, stable and fireproof surface.
• Protect the gas cylinder from direct sunlight.
• Before operating the appliance, always check the hose and the pres-
sure regulator for cracks and damage.
• Do not operate the gas barbecue if the pressure regulator, hose or
gas cylinder are defective or if they are not sealed.
• Insects often build nests in the pipes of the burner. Before operating
the burner, always check it for foreign objects. Remove foreign ob-
jects with a brush (bottle brush, pipe cleaner).
• Do not ignite the gas flame with a naked flame. To ignite, use the
electrical ignition that is installed in the appliance.
• In order to protect against gas that flows out by accident, the cylin-
der valve on the gas cylinder should only be opened when the gas
barbecue is operational. After you shut off the barbecue grill, always
make sure that you shut the cylinder valve.
• Make sure there is clearance of at least 1 m around the rear and side
walls of the appliances.
• Whilst operating the appliance, make sure that you maintain a safe
distance from combustible and heat sensitive materials. The distance
should not be less than 3 m.
• Make sure that there are no objects or parts of the building above the
gas barbecue.
• During operation, the surfaces of the gas barbecue are very hot.
Warn people who are standing around and keep well away from
children.
• During operation, do not leave the gas barbecue unattended.
• In the case of a fault, shut the valve of the gas cylinder.
• Before changing the position of the barbecue it must be switched off,
the valve of the gas cylinder must be shut and the gas cylinder must
be removed from the bottom part of the barbecue in order to protect
the pressure regulator and the hose.

Servicing the Gas Barbecue

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• Repairs and servicing of the gas system should only be carried out
by authorised experts. Do not carry out any changes to the gas bar-
becue or the pressure regulator.
• Replace the pressure regulator after at least 2 years and the hose
after 5 years, even if there are no visible external signs of damage.
Make sure that the pressure regulator is approved for the gas that is
used and is set to the correct output pressure (see Technical data). A
new hose should not be longer than 1.5 m.
• Together with oil, gas forms an explosive mixture. Never attempt to
free stiff valves and control knobs with oil or penetrating oil.

Action when Fighting Fires

• Move persons who are standing around to a safe place! If possible,
close the valve of the gas cylinder. Cool the gas cylinder with water. At
the same time, ensure your own safety! Spontaneous and explosive
re-ignition is possible.
• Only extinguish leaking, burning gas if you cannot stop gas from escap-
ing. All extinguishers can be used.

First Aid Measures

– Measures after inhaling gas
• High concentrations can cause suffocation. Symptoms can include
loss of mobility and consciousness. The victim does not realise the
suffocation are suffocating. Low concentrations can result in dizzi-
ness, headaches, nausea and coordination problems.
• Bring the patient into the open air. Inform a doctor or the emergency
services. In the event that the patient stops breathed, perform artificial
respiration.
– Measures following major burns or scalding
• There is a risk of hypothermia and shock. Call the emergency ser-
vices straight away!
• Extinguish any burning clothing with water straight away or smother
the flames with a thick blanket.
• In the case of scalding: Remove clothing straight away.
• In the case of burns: Keep clothing on the body.
• Cool with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain eases.
• Cover the affected area with a sterile Metalline bandage (for burns).
Apply the side coated with Metalline to the wounded skin and loose-
ly fix with a gauze bandage or a triangular cloth.
• Do not use household remedies such as ointments, powder, oils,
disinfectants etc.!
– Measures following minor burns or scalding
• In the case of scalding: Remove clothing straight away.
• In the case of burns: Only remove clothing if it is not sticking.
• Cool with cold water for at least 15 minutes until the pain eases.
• In the case of small burns or scalding without any formation of a
blister, allow to heal through exposure to the air. Do not cover with a
plaster or bandage.

Instructions Concerning Transportation

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• Where possible, do not transport the gas cylinder in vehicles where
the storage area is not separated from the driver's cab. The driver
must be aware of the possible dangers associated with the load and
he must know what to do in the event of an accident or emergency.
• Transport the gas cylinder standing upright and secure the gas cylin-
der from falling over or sliding.
• Make sure that the valve of the gas cylinder is closed and has a
good seal.

Storage Notes

WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• If the appliance is not being used, the gas cylinder must be discon-
nected from the appliance.
• Keep the gas cylinder out of the reach of children.
• Keep the gas cylinder away from oxidising gases and other materials
that help fires.
• The liquid gas that escapes is heavier than air and it sinks to the
ground. Do not store the gas cylinder indoors under ground level
(e.g. basement, shaft, underground garage etc.) or in non-ventilated
areas where escaping gas could collect.
• Protect the gas cylinder from direct solar radiation and other sources
of heat.
• If the temperature is less than 50 °C, store the gas cylinder in a place
that is well-ventilated, shady and protected against weathering.
• Store the gas cylinder so that it is standing and secured from falling
over.
