OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Lighting Before ignite the appliance, perform “Leakage Testing” in a well ventilated area (outdoor). At first use and after every LPG cylinder substitution, appliance gas circuit must be purged of the inside air before igniting! To do this, turn the control knob counter-clockwise to the ignition position and push it holding for 1 minute before attempting ignition. 1 - Make sure that LPG cylinder, full 4/5 its capacity, contains proper LPG Gas (refer to Technical Data on page 2). Turn LPG cylinder valve in full “ON” position and close LPG compartment panel. 2 - Make sure that burner control knob is in “OFF” position (full disk). 3 - Push the control knob and keep pressing while turning counter-clockwise to the corresponding Maximum position (big flame). At the same time push the ignition button (star). Igniter will sparks automatically (it is possible to ignite the appliance even with proper lit long match, approaching carefully the burner managing in the same way). 4 - When the burner is lit in Maximum position (big flame), stop pushing ignition button (star) and keep the control knob pressed but not over 20 seconds to heat the thermocouple (FSD); then release it (first ignition take generally more time, because gas circuit is full of air). 5 - If the burner does not keep lit, wait 5 minutes and then repeat steps 3 and 4. 6 - Burner now is lit in Maximum position (big flame). 7 - Adjust the heat input by turning the knob from the Maximum position (big flame), to the Minimum position, as properly. 8 - After lighting, turn knob from Minimum to Maximum (big flame) position and back, to check flame stability. 9 - In case of accidental break down of the flame (for wind or other reasons), FSD will shout-off gas supply automatically (FSD = Flame Safety Device) not over 60 seconds. Note: The burner may be noisy when initially turned on. To eliminate excessive noise from the burner, turn the control knob to the Minimum position and back. If you experience any ignition problem consult the following “Troubleshooting”. To turn “OFF” (full disk) the appliance 1. Turn appliance control knob clockwise up to “OFF” position (full disk). 2. Turn the LPG cylinder valve to the “OFF” position. 3. Allow the appliance to cool before moving it (at least 30 minutes).

Leakage Test Point ① ② ③ ④ Re-Lighting 1. Turn control knob to “OFF” position. 2. Wait at least 5 minutes, to let gas dissipate, before attempting burner re-light. 3. Repeat the “Lighting” steps. LEAKAGE TESTING Never check for gas leakages with a flame or while smoking. This appliance needs to be periodically checked for leakages and an immediate check is required if the smell of gas is detected.  Make a soap solution using 1 part of liquid dish-washing soap to 3 parts water. The soap solution can be applied with a soap bottle, brush, or rag to the leakage tested points shown in the figure beside.  The valve of the LPG cylinder should be in the “OFF” position at this point of the leakage test. Once the soapy solution is applied to the gas connections, the valve of the LPG cylinder needs to be turned to the “ON” position.  Soap bubbles will begin to form in the soapy solution if any leakage is present.  In the event of gas leakage, the appliance shall not be used or if alight, the gas supply shall be shut-off and the appliance shall be investigated and rectified before it is used again. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn on gas supply and recheck.  If necessary, substitute gasket (according to EN 549 Class B2) or material used to guarantee tightness (according to EN 751-1 Class I). GAS REQUIREMENTS  Use only the type of gas and the type of LPG cylinder specified by the manufacturer.  Appliance must use an approved gas regulator (approved for a working temperature not lower than 50 ˚C) according to the EN Standard EN16129 ( gas regulator inlet and outlet connection according to the National Rules in force) and flexible gas rubber pipe according to applicable EN-standard (with proper inner diameter according to gas inlet connection and National Rules in force) with a length not over 1.5 m and approved for a working temperature not lower than 60 ˚C. When substitution will be necessary, you have to purchase suitable gas regulator, flexible gas rubber pipe and clamps from your local gas dealer; gas regulator should be substituted not over 10 years.  Flexible gas rubber pipe must be located in the LPG compartment carefully, avoiding any twisting.  Never use a damaged gas regulator.  Never connect this appliance to an unregulated LPG source (gas regulator is mandatory to be used).  When the appliance is not in use, turn the LPG cylinder in “OFF” position.  Always perform a leakage test on gas connections whenever a LPG cylinder is connected. If bubbles form in the leakage test solution, do not use it. Never use a flame to test for leakages. It is strictly forbidden and dangerous!

LPG CYLINDER  LPG cylinder used must be in accordance with the National Rules in force.  LPG cylinder should have collar to protect cylinder valve and never filled over 80% its capacity.  Refer to your gas supplier for instructions how to use and handle LPG cylinder.  Never use a LPG cylinder with a damaged body, valve, collar or foot ring.  Change LPG cylinders in an amply ventilated area, away from any ignition source (candle, cigarettes and so on).  If appliance is stored indoors, detach and leave LPG cylinder outdoors in a ventilated and protected area.  LPG cylinder must always be used in an upright position.  Do not store a spare or disconnected LPG cylinder near this appliance.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING To enjoy years of outstanding performance from your appliance, regular services of the appliance is mandatory as followings:  The appliance should be inspected before at least one time a year by a Qualified Service only. More frequent cleaning may be required according to the use of the appliance.  Keep exterior surfaces clean, free and clear from combustible materials.  Use warm soapy water for cleaning. Never use flammable or corrosive cleaning agents.  While washing your unit makes sure to keep the area around the burner assembly dry at all times. If the gas control is exposed to water in any way, DO NOT tries to use it. It must be replaced.  Burner and LPG compartment circulating air passageways of the appliance must be kept clean.  Airflow must be unobstructed. Keep controls, burner and circulation air passageways clean. Signs of possible blockage include:  Gas odor with extreme yellow tipping of flame / Appliance glow is excessively uneven / Appliance makes popping noises.  Spiders and insects can nest in burner or orifices. This dangerous condition can damage the appliance and render

it unsafe for use. Clean burner holes by using a heavy duty pipe cleaner. Compressed air may help clear away smaller particles.  Carbon deposits may create a fire hazard. If any carbon deposits develop, clean dome and engine with warm soapy water.  After the burner and lava rocks are completely cooled down, remove it from the bowl and use a soft brush to get rid of the mild stains, loose dirt and soil. Wipe with a soft cloth.  Clean the bowl and afterward put lava rocks again in proper position.  For proper cleaning, a vacuum cleaner can be used. Note: In a salt-air environment (such as near the sea), corrosion occurs more quickly than normal. Frequently check the corroded areas and repair them promptly. Stubborn stains, discoloration and possibly rust pitting can occur from exposure to harsh outdoor conditions. Be careful not let any powder or solvent come in contact with painted or plastic components as damage may occur. After long use, some discoloration can come up and it screen is normal. Make sure both gas supplies is in OFF position before changing battery. Please refer to the process of assembling battery.
