Leak test
It is imperative that you perform a "gas-tightness test":
•
Before using the barbecue for the first time (even if your barbecue has been assembled
before purchasing)
•
Every time the gas cylinder, hose or regulator is replaced.
•
At least once a year, preferably at the beginning of the barbecue season.
•
After the appliance has been left stored or unused for a long period of time.
Check that the hose is undamaged and is clear of the lower part of the barbecue.
•
Perform leak tests outdoors only and keep away from any combustible materials. Do
not smoke.
•
Make sure all the control knobs are in «OFF» position (•).
•
Make up a soapy solution of 50% washing up liquid and 50% water.
•
Screw the regulator onto the gas cylinder.
•
Connect the flexible supply hose to the appliance and to the regulator following the
instruction (see Connection to the gas cylinder).
•
With a paintbrush, apply the mixture to the gas cylinder/regulator/hose/coupling
connections to the barbecue.
•
Turn on the gas cylinder valve.
•
Observe the different gas cylinder/regulator/hose/coupling connections to the barbecue:
if bubbles form, this indicates there is a gas leak.
•
Turn off the gas cylinder valve.
To correct the leak, tighten the nuts and perform the test again.
If a part is faulty, get it replaced. The appliance must not be used until the leak is corrected.
Should the problem continue, contact your dealer or a gas appliance technician.
Important: Never use a flame to check for a gas leak.
Lighting the appliance
IMPORTANT before operation
Do not operate the appliance before you have carefully read and understood all
the instructions. In addition, make sure that:
•
the entire unit [cylinder/regulator/hose/appliance] is not leaking
•
there is no blockage in the burners (venturi tube) and/or injectors (e.g. spiders'
webs)
•
the supply hose is not damaged or past its use-by date, and is not touching
any of the parts of the appliance that may become hot or sharp
•
that the burners are connected correctly to the injectors by the orifice intended
for this purpose.
