SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Only use the barbecue outdoors.
Always place the barbecue and gas cylinder on a flat surface when the barbecue is in use.
The barbecue may not be used in enclosed spaces due to the risk of asphyxia.
Use only LPG for the barbecue. Do not use coal, briquettes, or other gas.
The barbecue becomes hot when lit. Keep children and pets at a safe distance.
Do not move the barbecue when it is lit or hot – wait until it has cooled down.
The barbecue will heat up during use, and a higher temperature will accumulate at the bottom if it is kept heating for a long time. Please use the appliance on a heat-resistant surface.
Allow the barbecue to cool down before cleaning it.
Use barbecue gloves and barbecue utensils to avoid burns when barbecuing.
Never use igniters such as a lighter fluid with a gas barbecue.
Never leave a lit or hot barbecue unattended.
Make sure that flammable gases, liquids (such as petrol or alcohol), and other flammable materials are placed at a safe distance from the barbecue.
Do not use the gas barbecue in windy conditions.
The barbecue is only intended for cooking food.
Never use the barbecue for any other purpose than its intended use, for example, as a heat source or for heating objects.
NOTE! Meat with a high-fat content may cause flare-ups.
If the fat starts to burn, you must switch off all the burners, turn the gas off and leave the lid closed until the fire is extinguished. You must regularly clean the barbecue of any fat/oil. If you do not, there is a high risk of the fat starting to burn.
The hose and regulator must be tested for leaks before you start barbecuing. See the section “Checking for leaks”.
Worn or damaged hoses must be replaced immediately. We recommend that the regulator kit be replaced every two years to ensure that the hose is in good condition.
The barbecue is not intended to be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or with a lack of
experience and knowledge unless they are supervised or are given instructions on how to use the barbecue by a person who is responsible
for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the barbecue.
The barbecue and gas cylinder must be connected to a CE-approved regulator and hose with the correct operating pressure.
Using an incorrect regulator or hose is dangerous and can cause injuries.
The maximum length of the hose is 1.5 meters. Worn or damaged hoses must be replaced immediately.

WARNING! AR If these instructions are not followed, an accident may lead to serious personal injury or property damage.

WARNING! Accessible parts may be very hot. Keep young children away.
The barbecue may only be used with an approved regulator kit and comply with EN16129 with the current version and national regulation.
This appliance must be kept away from flammable materials during use.
When changing the gas cylinder which shall be carried out away from any source of ignition.
In the event of gas leak, turn off the gas supply.
Parts sealed by the manufacturer or his agent shall not be manipulated by the user.

GAS CYLINDER

Maximum gas cylinder size is H:800 x W:350 mm.
The gas cylinder must not be dropped or handled carelessly.
If the barbecue is not going to be used, the gas cylinder must be disconnected and the safety cap refitted.
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 have fatal consequences.

CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER TO THE BARBECUE

Make sure that the gas cylinder’s valve is turned off.
Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder’s valve.
Connect the hose to the barbecue’s nipple.
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 barbecue is turned off.

Apply the 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.

BURNERS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Why is there no seal between the burner and valve?
Answer: In order for the gas to get the right combustion at the burner, it must be mixed with oxygen. This happens in the joint between the valve and the burner. The joint must not be sealed. If you do, the combustion will deteriorate.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Open the hood and make sure the burner is in the off position.
Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder. Open the gas cylinder’s valve to release the gas.
Press any of the knobs with a lightning symbol on the barbecue and turn anticlockwise towards the HI position. This releases the gas and generates a spark.
If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the knob to the closed position and close the valve on the gas cylinder. Wait 5 minutes, and then redo steps 2 and 3.
When the barbecue is lit, turn the knob between HI and LO to adjust the heat.
To switch it off, turn the gas cylinder’s valve to the closed position and then turn the knob on the barbecue clockwise to the closed position.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Allow the barbecue/all parts to cool fully before cleaning them.
Check to make sure the fuel supply from the gas cylinder has been turned off.
Clean the interior and exterior of the barbecue thoroughly and regularly.
The grease/oils that collect in the bottom of the barbecue, the drip plate, and heat distributors must be cleaned from the barbecue regularly, otherwise, there is a significant risk of the fat catching fire.
If the barbecue is used in especially corrosive environments, for example, by the sea, it is even more important to clean the barbecue often. Salt and moisture will break down the protective outer layer of the barbecue, which can result in surface rust.

CLEANING THE EXTERIOR OF THE BARBECUE

Wash the outside of the barbecue with a soft sponge, a mild detergent and water. Rinse with clean water and let it dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
If the painted steel is scratched or damaged and has started to rust, brush the surface with a steel brush, scrape it and then paint with anti-rust primer. This should be done as soon as the damage is discovered, as scratches in the paint make the furniture more susceptible to rust.

CLEANING THE INTERIOR OF THE BARBECUE

Remove the barbecue grille.
Wash the barbecue with a mild detergent and water. Rinse with clean water and let it dry. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or oven cleaner.
CLEANING THE BURNERS
Remove the barbecue grille.
Clean the burners with a soft brush or blow it clean with compressed air. Wipe with a cloth.
Carefully clean the clogged openings with pipe cleaners and stiff wire (e.g. an open paper clip).
Check that there is no damage to the burners (cracks or holes). Replace
the burner if you discover any damage.
Refit the burners and check to make sure that the gas valves’ mouthpieces are firmly in the correct position in the burner pipe.
Check the burner’s flames. A good flame should be blue with yellow at the top. A yellow and irregular flame indicates that oil residues and food deposits may be accumulating on the burner. Try to clean the surface and holes of the burner to get a better flame. A poor flame can also be caused by a poor gas valve.

CLEANING THE BARBECUE GRILLE

Do not use sharp objects to clean the barbecue grille, as they may damage the surface.
It is not necessary to clean the barbecue grill after each use. Allow the barbecue to burn at maximum power for about 5 minutes after finishing barbecuing and then remove any residues with a brush. Then wipe with paper towels.
However, the barbecue grille should occasionally be cleaned more thoroughly. Use a mild detergent and water. Rinse with clean water and let it dry.
Before barbecuing, you can oil the barbecue grille with cooking oil so that food does not get stuck during cooking.

CLEANING THE DRIP PLATE

When barbecuing, grease accumulates on the drip plate. Therefore, the drip plate should be cleaned regularly, preferably after each barbecuing. If the drip plate is not cleaned regularly, the grease may ignite and cause a fire during barbecuing.

INFORMATION ON STAINLESS STEEL

A common misconception about stainless steel is that it cannot oxidize, which is inaccurate. All steel can oxidize if the conditions for oxidation are right. Stainless steel, on the other hand, has a higher resistance against oxidization than non-stainless steel. This means that even stainless steel must be maintained to prevent oxidation and other corrosion. It is normal for the barbecue to suffer from so-called red oxide if it is not maintained properly. This is normal and is not grounds for complaint.
Cleaning stainless steel
Start by wiping the surface with a damp cloth and a mild soap. The surface must be clean and free of dirt and grease. Wipe with a dry cloth.
If the barbecue has any surface rust, you can use a light polish, Autosol, on a cloth and polish the surface until the rust disappears. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
To protect the surface, spray on a thin layer of 5-56 or WD-40, two universal agents that dissolve red oxide and protect against moisture. Apply the product with a cloth so that you have an even coat.
NOTE! These products must not come into contact with the barbecue’s painted surfaces or surfaces that come into contact with food.

STORAGE

When the barbecue is not in use, protect it from rain and contaminants under a barbecue cover. This prevents surface rust and stops it from getting dirty.
For long-term storage, such as during the winter, first clean and wipe the barbecue carefully and then store it under a barbecue cover in a dry, dust-free environment.
The gas cylinder must always be closed when the barbecue is not in use and disconnected before the barbecue is put into storage.
