Light back
- In the event of light back (where the flame burns back and ignites inside the burner or venturi housing), immediately turn off the gas supply by firstly closing the control valve on the gas container and then the appliance valve. After the flame is extinguished, remove the regulator and check the condition of the seal; replace the seal if in doubt. Re-light the appliance as described in Section 6 below. Should the flame persistently light back, return the product to your authorised CADAC repair agent.
Leaks
- If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), immediately close the control knob on the gas cylinder. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it outside. Do not try to detect leaks using a flame; use soapy water.
- The correct way is to smear the joints with soapy water. If a bubble or bubbles form then there is a gas leak. Immediately turn off the gas supply firstly by closing the control valve on the gas container and then the appliance valve. Check that all the connections are properly fitted. Re-check with soapy water. If a gas leak persists, return the product to your CADAC dealer for inspection / repair.
- Check for leaks on the tailpiece by the valve and on the cylinder regulator fitting with gas open on cylinder but not open or switched on by the appliance control knob.
Flame visibility check
- It is important to check that the flame is still burning once you have lit your appliance.
- To check for flame visibility, there is a visual slot on the BBQ grid. Flame visibility can also be viewed through the grid slots.
- For easy visibility, place the visual slot at the front (as shown).

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.
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.
- Do not move the appliance when in use as, apart from being an unsafe practice, to move the appliance whilst lit, may cause flaring.
- After use, first close the valve on the gas container (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the valve on the appliance by pushing in and turning the control knob fully clockwise.

General Maintenance
- The onus of maintaining this appliance solely rests on the consumer from date of purchase. This appliance does not require scheduled maintenance.
Replacing a Blocked Jet:
- Your Citi Chef is fitted with a specific size jet to regulate the correct amount of gas.
- Should the hole in the jet become blocked, this may result in a small flame or no flame at all. Do not attempt to clean the jet with a pin or other such device as this may damage the orifice, which could make the appliance unsafe.
- To replace the jet: Pull the back panel out using the handle (Fig 20) Remove the dome, BBQ grid, pot stand and any other loose items from the appliance. Now unscrew the 3 screws from underneath the appliance as shown in Fig 21, this will loosen the burner. Now remove the burner gently by lifting it out (Fig22), NOTE that it is attached to the piezo ignition wire. DO NOT yank the burner out otherwise you risk snapping the piezo ignition wire from your appliance. Gently lay the burner to the side, this will reveal the jet (Fig 23). The jet can now be removed using a suitable spanner. Do not use pliers on the jet as this may damage the jet, making it unusable or impossible to remove. Screw the new jet into the valve. Do not over tighten as this may damage the jet.
- Reverse the above procedure to re-assemble the unit.
Replacing the Hose:
- The fitting of a hose is described in Section 4 – Fitting and replacing the hose and gas cylinder.
Cleaning
- Note: For Parts Reference (See Section 7)
- BBQ: Remove the fat from the moat at the bottom of the Fat Pan. Wash the grid in warm water with non-abrasive detergent after wiping off any excess fat left after cooking.
- BBQ Lid: Wash the BBQ Lid in warm water using a suitable non-abrasive detergent. Do not use sharp metal objects or abrasive detergents, as this will damage the surface coating.
- Note: For stubborn stains, oven cleaner may be used.
Care of Ceramic non-Stick Cooking surfaces:
- The ceramic non-stick cooking surfaces are coated with a ceramic non-stick coating that has been used with great success on some of the best cookware in the world. Nevertheless, taking care of it can help you to enjoy extra years of healthy, easy, ceramic non-stick cooking.
- Use only low or medium heat settings to help retain the valuable nutrients in the food and maintain the ceramic non-stick cooking surface.
- The ceramic non-stick coating can easily be damaged by the use of metal cooking utensils.
