Danger: Gas is highly flammable
Liquid gas is highly flammable and explosive.
Possible consequences:
• Serious injury to persons or damage to prop-
erty if escaping or accumulated gas ignites in
an uncontrolled manner.
Safety measures:
• Only use the barbecue outdoors and ensure
that the area is well-ventilated.
• Protect the gas cylinder and the gas hose from
direct sunlight and other sources of heat (max.
50 °C). Take particular care to ensure that the
gas hose does not touch any part of the hot
barbecue.
• Close the valve on the gas cylinder immediate-
ly when you finish using the barbecue.
• When connecting the gas cylinder make sure
that there are no sources of ignition within a
5 m radius.
• Take special care not to light any naked flames,
do not smoke or switch on electric appliances
(devices, lights, door bells), etc. (sparkover
possible).
• Before each use, make sure that all gas con-
nections are sealed and intact.
• If necessary, ensure that you replace the gas
hose if required to do so to comply local leg-
islation.
The barbecue must not be used if the connec-
tions for the gas supply are porous or faulty.
This also applies, for example, to hoses or fit-
tings that are blocked with insects, as this can
result in a dangerous flashback.
• When igniting the gas flame do not bend over
the cooking area or the side burner, as defla-
gration can occur if gas has accumulated in the
fire bowl.
For the same reason,
never re-ignite immedi-
ately if the flame goes out, instead:
– Turn the flame regulators (3 x B and C) to
"Off" to interrupt the supply of gas.
– Wait for 3 minutes to ensure that any accu-
mulated gas has dissipated.
– Then re-ignite the burners (see the chapter
"Operations").
Danger: Gas displaces oxygen
Liquid gas is heavier than oxygen. Therefore it
settles on the ground and displaces the oxygen
at that level.
Possible consequences:
• Suffocation resulting from a lack of oxygen if
the concentration of gas is allowed to rise suf-
ficiently.
Safety measures:
• Only use the barbecue outdoors in a well ven-
tilated area and above ground (i.e. not in are-
as that are below ground level).
• Close the valve on the gas cylinder immediate-
ly when you finish using the barbecue.
• If the barbecue is not being used for a pro-
longed period, cut off the supply from the gas
cylinder and store properly:
– Fit the gas cylinder valve with a cap nut and
safety cap.
– Do not store the gas cylinder in rooms
below ground level, in or near stairways,
hallways or passages and thoroughfares
between buildings.
– Always store gas cylinders upright, even if
they are empty!
