3. Using the Appliance
•
Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.
•
Before use ensure that the drip tray is in place.
•
Make sure the gas cylinder is correctly fitted to the appliance.
•
Ensure the cylinder control valve is in the open position.
•
Note! All burners are fitted with an automatic igniter.
To light the appliance using the automatic igniter, first ensure the dome is in the open position. Push in and turn the control knob
in an anti-clockwise direction until spring resistance is felt. Hold the knob in this position for 3 – 5 seconds to allow the gas to flow
and then turn the knob fully anti-clockwise to the HIGH position. This will cause the automatic lighter to light the burner. Should
the burner not ignite the first time, turn the control knob to the OFF position and wait 5 minutes, repeat the process until the burner
ignites.
Manual ignition: To light the burners manually, first remove the grill plate and the deflector plate directly underneath it. Ignite a match
•
or firelighter and position it next to the left hand burner. Turn on the gas supply to that burner only by pushing the control valve in and
turning it in an anti-clockwise direction. This will ignite the burner. Once the burner is ignited, carefully replace the deflector plate
and cast iron grill plate. You will now be able to light the remainder of the burners as above.
•
Use the control knobs to adjust the individual burner flame intensity to the desired level by turning the knob anti-clockwise to
decrease the flame and clockwise to increase it (see Fig. 3).
•
After use, first close the valve on the gas cylinder. When the flame is extinguished, close the burner control valves on the appliance by
turning control knobs fully clockwise.
4. Fitting and Changing the Gas Cylinder
•
Before connecting the appliance to a gas cylinder, ensure that the rubber seal on the regulator is in position and in good condition.
•
Carry out this check each time you fit the appliance to a gas cylinder (see fig. 1).
•
Blow out any dust from the cylinder opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.
•
Ensure the gas cylinder is fitted or changed outdoors, away from any source of ignition such as naked flames, and away from other
people.
•
Make sure that the gas cylinder is kept upright at all times. Hand tighten the regulator onto the cylinder until it is fully engaged.
•
If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), extinguish all sources of ignition in the vicinity of the appliance. If you wish to
check for leaks on your appliance, use soapy water which is applied to the suspected area. A formation of bubbles will indicate a gas
leak. Check that all the connections are securely fitted and re-check with soapy water. If you cannot rectify the gas leak, do not use
the appliance. Contact your local CADAC stockist for assistance.
•
When changing a gas cylinder, first close the cylinder valve and then the appliance valve, making sure the flame is extinguished and
unscrew the regulator. Re-fit the regulator to a full cylinder following the same precautions as described above.
•
After the appliance has been fully assembled, perform a gas leak test before operating the appliance.
5. General Maintenance
• There are no predetermined maintenance intervals for this appliance.
•
It is dangerous to use an appliance with a cracked or perished seal and/or hose. Inspect both seals and hose regularly and replace if
they are not in order before using the appliance.
•
If the appliance was in use it will be hot. Allow to cool sufficiently before attempting any maintenance.
•
CADAC Patio BBQ's are fitted with spesific CADAC jets to regulate the correct amount of gas. Should the hole in the Jet become
blocked it may result in a small flame or no flame at all. Do not attempt to clean the Jet with a pin or other such device as this may
damage the hole, which could make the appliance unsafe. Refer to "Introduction" (Section 1) for jet sizes.
5.1.Replacing a Blocked Jet
•
Ensure that the cylinder valve is closed, then disconnect the appliance from the gas cylinder.
•
Remove the grill plates. Remove the flame tamers to expose the burners. Remove the retaining screws of the affected burner.
•
Remove the affected burner by lifting it out of its location taking care not to damage the control valve whilst doing so. This will expose
the Jet.
•
Unscrew the blocked Jet with a suitable spanner and replace it with a new Jet. Do not use pliers on the Jet as they can cause damage,
making the Jet unusable or impossible to remove.
•
To re-assemble, reverse the above procedure. Do not over tighten as this may damage the Jet.
5.2.Replacment of hose assembly
•
Do not use the gas grill if the hose appears damaged. Call your local stockist for a replacement
gas hose assembly. The replacement of the regulators and hose assembly must be those specified by the manufacturer.
•
When checking the hose for leakes, DO NOT USE A FLAME, Use only soapy water. If there is a leak, bubble will appear at the location
of the leak.
