3. Fitting and Changing the Gas Supply
Connecting the gas supply
•
Before connecting the appliance to a gas cartridge, ensure that the rubber seal on the regulator is in position
and in good condition.
•
Before connecting the gas cartridge, check that the appliance control knob is in the "OFF" position.
(See fig 3)
•
Carry out this check each time you fit the appliance to a gas cartridge.
•
Blow out any dust from the gas supply opening to prevent possible blockage of the jet.
•
Ensure that the gas cartridge) is fitted in a well-ventilated location away from any source of ignition, such as
naked flames and away from other people.
•
Make sure that the gas cartridge is kept upright at all times, connect to the cylinder by screwing on hand
tight until fully engaged.
•
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 cannot rectify the gas leak do not use the appliance. If you are in doubt, contact your nearest stockist.
•
Making sure that the gas cartridge is kept upright, screw the cartridge into the valve in a clockwise direction until it is fully engaged (Fig. 4a),
hand-tighten only. If the cartridge is over-tightened, it may damage the cartridge valve. Your appliance is now ready for use.
Disconnecting the gas supply
•
Check that the burner is extinguished before disconnecting the gas cartridge.
•
To disconnect the gas cartridge, unscrew the cartridge in a counter clockwise direction from the valve keeping the appliance in vertical
position. (See Fig 4b)
•
Check the seal before replacing the gas cartridge (Fig. 4c).
•
When operating this appliance, please take care to ensure that all parts are in good working order and that you have checked for any gas
leaks before lighting the appliance with every use.
•
Cooking surfaces can simply be placed and are ready to use. No assembly required.
•
PLEASE NOTE: Please ensure all protective packaging and plastic are removed from the appliance before use.
•
The appliance is designed for use with cooking vessels of not less than 6" in diameter and not greater than 12" in diameter.
Precautions to observe before lighting.
•
Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.
•
After prolonged storage, inspect the appliance for any insects and webs, which may affect gas flow.
Lighting the appliance using the piezo
•
It is recommended to remove any cooking surfaces when trying to light the appliance. This way it will be easy to see the burner when it is lit.
•
To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push and turn the control knob to its highest setting in an anti-clockwise direction, then
press the piezo button to ignite the gas. If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, turn the control knob back to its "OFF" position. Try
again, by pushing and turning the control knob anti-clockwise and push the piezo button to ignite the gas. If the gas has not ignited in the
first two to three seconds you should close the control valve by turing the control knob back to its "OFF" position.
•
Wait approximately thirty seconds to let any accumulated gas within the burner escape. Repeat the above process if necessary until the
flame ignites. The flame should normally light up within the first one to two seconds.
Lighting up using a BBQ lighter
•
When starting cold, the appliance may be lit from the top prior to fitting the desired cooking surface. When lighting up a hot appliance, it
is recommended that this be done by sticking a 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 and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to light the burner.
General
•
Once the appliance is lit, the flame intensity may be adjusted by turning the control knob clockwise to reduce the flame or anti-clockwise to
increase the flame.
•
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. It is unsafe practice to move the appliance whilst lit and may cause flaring.
•
After use, first close the control valve on the gas cylinder (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the control valve on
the appliance.
