INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
The appliance can be positioned on any support according to these regulations:
- If the barbecue is not fixed on a PLA.NET trolley, make sure that the support surface withstands a temperature of at least 120°C.
- Hot air is vented out of the appliance. Please leave an air gap of at least 10 cm between the appliance and the side walls and 15 cm from the back.
• DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE IN CLOSED PLACES OR NEAR INFLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
• THE PROTECTIVE ADHESIVE FILM (WHITE) ABSOLUTELY MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE STEEL.
APPLIANCE CONNECTIONS for:
(A) BUTANE/PROPANE GAS OPERATION (SEE TECHNICAL DATA TABLE)
Connection of the unit must take place via:
• Gas cylinder commonly used for camping containing LPG (liquid gas).
• Pressure regulator calibrated as per current national standards, with operating pressure as shown on
the data plate.
• Hoses as per current national standards, of suitable length (max. 1.5 m) to allow installation without
kinks and without twisting the unit's connecting tube.
• Leak detection spray or soapy water to check seal.
CONNECTING THE APPLIANCE TO THE GAS CYLINDER
1) Check that the seal on the gas cylinder tap is not damaged.
2) Connect the pressure regulator to the cylinder (2).
3) Check that the taps of the appliance are in the closed position.
4) Connect the pipe to the regulator (4) if not already connected according to currently enforced
regulations, assemble the seal (5) correctly between the appliance connection (3) and the hose
connector, by tightening the pipe by means of the hose clamp.
5) Place the cylinder on a flat surface. Make sure it is secured to a firm base. If the cylinder is up to 5 kg, it
may be placed on the bottom shelf of the PLA.NET trolley.
6) The cylinder must be replaced away from inflammable materials and outdoors; the replaced cylinder
must be closed with the special cap nut and kept in a suitable place.
B) METHANE GAS OPERATION (SEE TECHNICAL DATA TABLE)
When connecting the appliance to the national gas supply, ensure the flexible pipe used is in compliance
with currently enforced regulations, and that it is connected to the connection provided (3), assemble the
seal (5) correctly between the appliance connection and the hose connector.
CHECKING TIGHTNESS
Connection tightness must be checked using a gas leak detector or soapy water, at working pressure. Tightness is considered correct if bubbles do not form.
Never check gas leaks with a naked flame!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• Check that the appliance is positioned correctly.
• Check that all components are inserted correctly.
• Check that the connection is carried out according to regulations.
• Check that the cylinder is placed at a distance of at least 50cm from the appliance.
• Make sure that the gas pipe does not touch the appliance or that it is not near the hot air outlet at the back of the appliance.
START-UP
• Turn on the gas from the cylinder or the gas mains (for operation with methane gas).
PIEZO ELECTRIC / PIEZO ELECTRONIC IGNITION
• Press and turn the dial anti-clockwise, at the same time, until it is in the maximum position, keep the dial pressed down.
• Light the gas by pressing the piezoelectric button. When the burner is lit, continue to press down the dial for a few seconds.
• When it is lit you can adjust the flame to the minimum position.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION FITTED WITH VALVES ( mod.GL/GMxxT)
• Press and at the same time turn counter-clockwise the knob up to the maximum position, keep it pressed to activate the electronic trigger.
Note: For the first ignition keep the knob pressed for 10/15 seconds until the flame lights up.
• Once the burner is lit up, keep the knob pressed for a few seconds to activate the thermocouple.
• The lit burner can be seen through the holes on the control panel; if it is not lit, repeat the process after 1 minute.
• Once the device has started, adjust the flame up to the minimum position.
TURNING OFF
• When cooking is completed, turn the knob to OFF and ensure the gas tap (cylinder or main network) is tightly closed.
• The turned off burner can be seen through the holes on the control panel.
COOKING
• Use a medium flame when lighting for the first few times, to allow hotplates/grills to "stabilize".
• Do not cook frozen food. The thermal shock would lead to a deformation of the cooking top and may not guarantee optimal cooking of the food.
• Make sure you regularly check the oil/grease collecting pan and empty it when necessary. Use protective gloves (it may be very hot).
• Do not leave the appliance on without any food on it, as this would overheat the cooking top.
It may be dangerous for people and may cause deformation of the material.
ADJUSTING THE FLAME
The flame can be adjusted.
The following symbols appear on the knob/panel:

- For more information, refer to the "Use and Maintenance Instructions-Planet Warranty" manual.
- If there are any technical problems, contact the technical service centre.
REPLACING SPARE PARTS
THIS OPERATION MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A SPECIALIZED TECHNICIAN.
Parts that can be replaced are easy to reach. Simply remove the handles, lift the plate and remove the panel (by unscrewing the screws holding it in place).
