Vinson VS32

Disconnecting the gas cylinder

1. 

Close the cylinder valve.

2.  Store the pressure regulator with the gas hose 

under the barbecue. Make sure the gas hose is not 

kinked or twisted in any way.

3.  Store the gas cylinder correctly:

–

Fit the gas cylinder valve with a cap nut and 

safety cap.
Do not store the gas cylinder in rooms below 

ground level, in or near stairways, hallways or 

passages and thoroughfares between buildings.
Always store gas cylinders upright, even if they 

are empty!

Before starting 

•  Select a suitable, preferably wind-sheltered area to 

set up the barbecue. Make sure that ...

–

there are not, and will not be, any flammable 

materials or substances nearby. The minimum 

distance to flammable materials or substances 

must be 2 m overhead and 1 m to the side of 

the barbecue; the distance to flame-resistant 

materials or substances must be at least 0.25 m.

–

the barbecue is positioned firmly on a suffici-

ently large area. It must not be moved during 

operation.

–

Position the gas cylinder on the base of the trol-

ley below the barbecue.

–

Never lay the gas cylinder on its side. 

–

Do not kink the gas hose or apply a tension to it.

•  Make sure that the seal in the pressure regulator  is 

present and intact. Do not use any additional seals.

•  When connecting the gas cylinder ensure that the-

re are no sources of ignition within a 5 m radius. 

Important note: to avoid the risk of spark-over, do 

not to light naked flames, do not smoke and do 

not actuate the switches of electric devices (appli-

ances, lights, door bells, etc.).

Connecting the gas cylinder

1.  Connect the coupling nut of the pressure regulator 

to the cylinder valve thread and tighten the cou-

pling nut by turning it anti-clockwise by hand. 

2.  Do not use any tools for this, as the cylinder valve 

seal could be damaged in the process, resulting in 

leaks.

3.  Make sure that the pressure regulator and the gas 

hose are securely connected.

4.  Check to make sure the connection between the 

gas hose and adjusting element, as well as the con-

nections between the gas hose are secure.

Make sure that the hose is not kinked or twisted in 

any way and that it is not under tension.

5.  Open the cylinder valve and use a standard leak 

detector to make sure that all of the connections 

are tight.

–

Please observe the instructions for the leak indi-

cator! Never check for leaks using a naked fla-

me. Listening for leaks is not a reliable method 

of detection.

–

If a leak is detected, close the cylinder valve 

immediately and tighten the loose connection 

or replace the leaking part. Repeat the leak test.

–

If you do not wish to barbecue immediately, 

close the cylinder valve.
