5. Fitting and Changing the Hose and Gas Cylinder
• NOTE! When installing the tailpiece, ensure it is held straight while tightening the tailpiece
nut, in order to prevent a possible gas leak. Tighten with a suitable spanner. (Fig. 10)
• I 3B/P (30), I 3B/P (37) and I 3+ (28-30/37) Appliance categories: Fit the valve tailpiece
onto the valve by screwing it on in an anti-clockwise direction. Push an approved hose
onto the valve tailpiece until it is properly seated. On the other end, attach a suitable
low pressure regulator (I3B/P (30) : 30 mbar G30/G31 configurations regulator; I3+(28-
30/37): 28~30 mbar G30 regulator or 37 mbar G31 regulator); I3B/P(37): 37 mbar G30/
G31 configurations regulators). Again making sure that the hose is well seated. The type
of hose used shall comply with the relevant EN standard and local requirement. In South
Africa the regulator used must comply with SANS 1537.
• I 3B/P (50) Appliance category: Screw a Hose with the correct threaded fittings on each
end, onto the left hand ¼" BSP thread of the Valve. Attach a suitable 50 mbar G30/G31
low-pressure regulator on the other end of the hose. The hose used must comply with DIN
4815 part 2 or equivalent.
• The hose length should be no less than 800mm and shall not exceed 1.5m. Check the manufacture date on the hose and replace
when necessary or when national regulations require it.
• Do not twist or pinch hose. Ensure the hose does not come into contact with any surfaces that would become hot during use.
• Before fitting the regulator to a gas container, ensure that the seal on the regulator is in position and in good condition. This should be
done with every connection and before every use.
• Before fitting your gas cylinder, ensure that the valves are all in the "OFF" position by turning the control knob clockwise to its stop.
• Ensure that the gas container is fitted or changed in a well-ventilated location, preferably outdoors, away from any source of ignition
such as naked flames or electric fires and away from other people.
• Making sure that the gas container is kept upright, screw the regulator onto the container until it is fully engaged. Hand-tighten only.
• If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), close the cylinder valve immediately and follow the procedure to detect and stop a
leak under Section 3. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it outside using soapy water only, which is applied to the
joints. A formation of bubbles will indicate the gas leak.
• Check that all the connections are securely fitted and re-check with soapy water. If you cannot rectify the gas leak, do not use the
appliance. Contact your local CADAC stockist for assistance.
• When changing a gas container, firstly close the container valve (if fitted) and then turn the control knob clockwise to its stop position.
• Ensuring that the flame is extinguished, unscrew the regulator. Refit a full container following the same precautions as described
above.
6. Lighting the appliance
Precautions to observe before lighting.
• After prolonged storage, inspect the air holes in the valve cover for insects, which may affect gas flow. Inspect the inlet of the venturi
for insects. After checking, refit all components into the prescribed position.
• Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.
Using the control knob
The control knob is fitted with two positive stop positions, one at low, and one at Ignite / High. This limits the adjustment of the flame
to between these two points.
Lighting up using the Piezo Igniter
• To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push in and turn the control knob in an anti-clockwise direction until you hear a
click. If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, push in, and turn the control knob fully clockwise. Try again, by pushing in and
turning the control knob anti-clockwise until you hear a click. If the gas has not ignited in the first two to three seconds you should
close the control valve by pushing in the control knob, and turning it fully clockwise. Wait approximately thirty seconds to let any
accumulated gas within the burner pan assembly escape. Repeat the above process if necessary until the flame ignites. The flame
should normally light up within the first one or 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 onto the fat pan. When lighting
up a hot appliance however, it is recommended that this be done by sticking 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 in 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 valve knob anti-clockwise to reduce the flame, or
clockwise to increase the flame.
• The fully closed position is at the furthest clockwise position. To rotate the valve from the fully closed position it is necessary to first
depress the knob just enough to move out of the lock mechanism. While holding the knob in, turn it in an anti-clockwise direction.
Once the spindle has moved out of the lock position it is no longer necessary to keep the control knob depressed and it can be rotated
freely to the desired flame setting.
• 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.
