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.
lf 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)

lf 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).
4. After 5 minutes, the appliance is ready for use. You can now
put food on the grill.

LIGHTING THE BURNERS

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 can find the battery case
of the igniter at the inside of the front panel of the right
side table.

9.1 Safety instructions

"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

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. Push in the control knob of one burner, set it to HIGH and
hold it for a moment. The build-in igniter will cause sparks,
which will light the burner.
Always light one main burner to start with. Never light all
main burners at the same time.
4. 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.
5. 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.
