5. Fitting and Changing the Gas Cylinder
•
After use, turn off the control knob to the off position ("•" - turn fully clockwise) and close the gas cylinder valve.
• Ensure that the gas cylinder is fitted or changed in a well-ventilated location away from any source of ignition, such as naked flames
and away from other people.
•
Do not smoke while changing the cylinder.
•
When you need to replace your empty cylinder, make sure that the gas is closed at the cylinder valve.
•
Remove the regulator from the empty cylinder.
•
Avoid twisting the hose whilst connecting the regulator to the new/replacement cylinder.
•
Blow out any dust from the cylinder opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.
•
Place the full cylinder in its allocated space and attach the regulator connection to the cylinder.
•
Ensure that a complete gas seal has been made (check for the smell of gas around the connection joint). Do not check for leaks with a
naked flame. Use warm soapy water only, applied to the joints and connections of the appliance. Any leakage will show up as bubbles
around the leakage area. If you are in doubt, contact your nearest stockist.
6. Using the Appliance
Caution: As accessible parts become very hot, the use of oven gloves is advisable. Keep young children away from the appliance.
• Assemble the tripod as described in Section 4.
• Place the burner pan (F) on the stem and tri pod assembly.
• Light the appliance as described in Section 7.
For Skottel Braai
• To prepare the Skottel Braai for use place it onto the burner pan (F) so that all three locators (V) (Fig.7a) will properly mate with the lip
on the circumference of the burner pan (F) thus ensuring a stable fitment.
• Cooking temperatures are easily adjusted to suit your own requirements by turning the control knob (K) to regulate the degree of heat.
A feature of the Skottel BBQ is that it offers various heat zones (See Fig.7b). This is very useful as some foods cook quicker than
others and the food that is ready first, can be moved to the cooler areas of the dish to keep warm whilst the balance of the food is still
cooking.
For Grill2Braai
• To prepare the aluminium grill plate for use, place it on the top edge of the fat pan, ensuring all locating feet are securely positioned.
For Paella Pan
To use the paella pan you need to place it on top of the pot stand. Do not heat paella pan on full flame with no food inside.
• Adjust the heat as required by adjusting the gas flow on the control knob and start cooking.
• After completion of cooking close the valve and remove the cooking surface after it has cooled down.
• After cooking and cleaning, pack the unit away for re-use.

7. Lighting the Appliance
Precautions to observe before lighting.
• After prolonged storage, inspect the Burner Pan air holes for insects such as spiders, which could affect gas flow. If there is
any evidence of insects / nests, the Base Plate must be removed and any foreign material cleaned out. After checking, re-fit all
components into the prescribed position.
• Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.
General
• The Control valve is closed by turning the control knob (K) clockwise to its "OFF" position and opened by pushing and turning
anticlockwise.
• Adjust the flame intensity to the desired level by turning the Control knob (K) clockwise to decrease the flame and anti-clockwise to
increase it (See Fig.8a & b).
• When cooking food with a high fat content, flaring may occur if the selected heat setting is too high. Should this happen, turn the heat
down until the flaring ceases.
• Do not move the appliance when in use, apart from being an unsafe practice to move the appliance whilst lit it may cause flaring.
• After use, first close the valve on the gas container (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the valve on the
appliance by turning the control knob (K) fully clockwise.
Lighting up using a match or BBQ lighter (See Fig. 8a and 8b)
• To light the appliance, light a match or barbecue lighter. Open up the control valve slightly (K) as described under 'General" and light
the appliance burner (G). When starting cold, the appliance may be lit from the top (See Fig.8b) prior to fitting the desired cooking
surface onto the burner pan (F).
