USE
• The propane burner is designed to be used with liquefied petroleum gas.
• The propane burner gets very hot, so always use barbecue gloves and equipment
to avoid burns when barbecuing.
• The propane burner and gas cylinder must be connected to a CE-approved regulator.
• Using the incorrect regulator or hose is dangerous and can cause injuries.
• The maximum length of the hose is 1.5 metres. Worn or damaged hoses must be
replaced immediately.
• Contact your nearest Rusta store for information on which regulator fits your
gas cylinder and your gas barbecue.
• Regularly check that all the screws are properly tightened.
GAS CYLINDER
• The gas cylinder must not be dropped or handled carelessly.
• If the gas is not going to be used, the gas cylinder must be disconnected and
the safety cap put on.
• The gas cylinder must never be placed in locations where it is exposed to temperatures
over 50°C.
• You should therefore not put the gas cylinder directly under the barbecue. The gas
cylinder must not be placed or stored in locations where there is a risk of fire or
sparks, for example. Do not smoke in the immediate vicinity of the gas cylinder.
• It is prohibited to make your own modifications to the gas cylinder. This can be fatal.
CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER TO THE BARBECUE
• Make sure that gas cylinder’s valve is turned o.
• Connect the regulator’s wing nut to the thread on the gas cylinder’s valve.
Tighten the wing nut by hand; do not use a tool as this could damage the valve’s seal.
• Connect the hose to the propane burner’s nipple. If the hose is dicult to put on, you
can try putting a little soap on the hose. The hose must be connected to the burner’s
nipple using a hose clamp. Check that the hose is not clogged, knotted or lying against
any part of the barbecue other than the nipple.
• Check for leaks in the gas cylinder, regulator, hose and barbecue before starting to
barbecue. See the section "CHECKING FOR LEAKS".
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
• Mix 50% soap with 50% water. Check that the gas valve on the gas cylinder is closed
and that the knob on the grill is in the o position.
• Apply soap solution onto the gas cylinder’s valve, regulator, hose and connector to
the barbecue.
• Open the gas valve on the gas cylinder. If there are small bubbles in any of the parts
mentioned above, there is a leak.
• Close the gas valve and tighten the hose connectors. Perform the test again. If there
is still a leak, contact your Rusta store.
