MANTAINING THE GAS GRILL
Fire and explosion hazard
• The gas system may only be repaired and serviced by authorised specialist per-
sonnel. Do not make any changes to the gas grill or pressure regulator.
• Change the pressure regulator and hose after 10 years maximum, even if no
external damage is noticeable. Make sure the pressure regulator is approved for
the gas used and set to the correct outlet pressure (see specifications). A new
hose may not be longer than 1.5 meters.
• The gas grill should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
MEASURES IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Shut off gas to the appliance, extinguish any open flames and open the lid.
• If the gas odour continues, keep away from the appliance and call your gas sup-
plier or your fire department.
FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
• Get people around you to safety! If possible, close the valve on the gas cylinder.
Cool the gas cylinder with water. Pay attention to your safety. Spontaneous,
explosive reignition is possible.
• In case of fire, filled pressurised gas containers should be removed from the area
threatened by the fire. If this is not possible, the compressed gas containers
must be kept from overheating by suitable means, like spraying with water from
a protected position.
• Should a grease fire occur, turn off the burner and leave lid closed until the fire
is out.
• Warning: Do not attempt to extinguish an oil or grease fire with water.
• Keep away from the fire and call your fire department immediately.
