2. Safety information
Hose
•
The hose must be checked for wear or damage before every use and before connecting to the
gas container.
•
Do not use the appliance if it has a damaged or worn hose. Replace the hose.
•
Do not use an appliance that is leaking, damaged or which does not operate properly.
•
The minimum hose length is 600mm and it is recommended that the maximum hose length
should not exceed 1.5m.
Gas Container
•
This appliance must only be used with an approved hose and regulator. (A 2.8kPa hose and
regulator supplied only in South Africa)
•
Ensure that the gas container is fi tted or changed in a well-ventilated location, preferably
outdoors, away from any sources of ignition such as naked fl ames, pilots, electric fi res and
away from other people.
•
Keep gas containers away from heat and fl ame. Do not place on a stove or any other hot
surface.
•
Refi llable cylinders are to be used only in the upright position so as to ensure proper fuel
withdrawal. Failure to adhere to this may cause liquid discharge from the gas container
resulting in a dangerous operating condition.
•
Do not try to remove the cylinder whilst the unit is in operation.
•
The gas cylinder must be disconnected from the appliance after use or when in storage.
•
Not for use with a remote gas supply.
Assembly and use
•
Use only on a fi rm level surface.
•
Do not move the appliance during use.
•
Ensure the appliance is used away from fl ammable materials. Minimum safe distances are:
Above the appliance 1.2m. At the rear and sides 600mm.
•
WARNING: Accessible parts may be very hot, the use of protective gloves is recommended. Keep
young children away.
•
Use outdoors only!
Light back
•
In the event of light back (where the fl ame burns back and ignites inside the burner or venturi
housing), immediately turn off the gas supply by fi rstly closing the control valve on the gas
cylinder and then the appliance valve. After the fl ame is extinguished, remove the regulator
and check the condition of the seal; replace the seal if in doubt. Re-light the appliance.
•
Should the fl ame persistently light back, return the product to your authorized CADAC repair
agent.
Leaks
•
If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), turn off the cylinder valve and take it outside
immediately into a well-ventilated fl ame-free location where the leak may be detected and
stopped. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it outside. Do not try to detect
leaks using a fl ame; use soapy water.
•
The correct way is to smear the joints with soapy water. If a bubble or bubbles form then there
is a gas leak. Immediately turn off the gas supply fi rstly by closing the control valve on the gas
container and then the appliance valve. Check that all the connections are properly fi tted. Re-
check with soapy water.
•
If a gas leak persists, return the product to your CADAC dealer for inspection/repair.
3. Lighting the appliance
Precautions to observe before lighting.
•
After prolonged storage, inspect the Air Holes in the Valve Cover for insects, which may affect
gas fl ow. Inspect the inlet of the Venturi for insects. After checking, refi t all components into
the prescribed position.
•
Use this appliance only on a fi rm level surface.
Using the control knob
The control knob is fi tted with two positive stop positions, one at low, and one at Ignite / High.
This limits the adjustment of the fl ame to between these two points.
Lighting up using the Piezo Igniter
•
To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push in and turn the control knob in an anti-clockwise direction until you hear a click.
If the gas does not ignite on the fi rst spark, push in, and turn the control knob fully clockwise. Try again, by pushing in and turning the
control knob anti-clockwise until you hear a click. If the gas has not ignited in the fi rst two to three seconds you should close the control
valve by pushing in the control knob, and turning it fully clockwise. Wait approximately thirty seconds to let any accumulated gas within
the burner pan assembly escape. Repeat the above process if necessary until the fl ame ignites. The fl ame should normally light up within
the fi rst one or two seconds.
Lighting up using a BBQ lighter
•
When starting cold, the appliance may be lit from the top prior to fi tting the desired cooking surface onto the fat pan. When lighting up
a hot appliance however, it is recommended that this be done by sticking barbecue lighter through one of the Vent Holes underneath the
Burner, until it is in line with the burner(DO NOT place the BBQ lighter through the large hole directly underneath the burner). Ignite the
BBQ lighter. Whilst the BBQ lighter is lit, push in and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to light the burner.
