Assembling The Unit
Assemble the grill according to the diagram shown in the pictures in part one of the instructions. Check that all components were in the box according to the list of components. Ensure that the correct parts were used to assemble the individual components according to the indication in the instructions, such as the size of the screws or the correct metal parts.
Connecting And Replacing
Ensure that the cylinder and the grill are away from all sources of ignition, such as open flames, sparks,
burning cigarettes. Check the condition of the LPG hose for signs of damage, cracks, abrasions, or cuts.
If there is any damage, do not connect it to the gas cylinder. Ensure that the cylinder’s main valve is turned off. Remove the protective cap from the threads of the main valve (it is recommended to leave it for later use, to plug the seat after unscrewing the hose).
Verify the condition of the gasket at the regulator xing nut, that it is in place and not damaged. Fit and screw (left-hand thread) the regulator xing nut to the main thread of the valve. When the unit is to be used, unscrew the cylinder main valve. Check all connections for leaks before starting the unit.
- Prepare a solution of soap or other detergent with water or prepare a specialised preparation.
- Turn all burner knobs to the OFF position.
- Open the main gas cylinder valve to its maximum.
- Spread the solution over each gas line joint. If there is a leak, there will be bubbles and foaming in the solution.
Lighting the Burners
Ensure that the appliance has been assembled in accordance with the instructions and that a leak test of the connections has been carried out.
Then turn one control knob to the “HI” position marked at the same time with the lightning bolt symbol. The burner should be lit by the sparking of the piezo igniter.
Hold the knob down for a further 2-3 seconds – the ame should stabilise. To light additional burners, turn the burner control knob closest to the burner already burning to the “HI” position by pressing it. Light the burners one by one.
The additional side burner can be lit in the same way. In the event that the burners do not want to light, turn the control knobs to the OFF position, wait at least 5 minutes, then try again. In the event that the spark igniter does not work, the burners can be lit using a lighter or long matches.
To do this, remove the grate and the diffusers, turn the knob to the “HI” position, then set the igniter approximately 5 mm from the burner holes. Once the burners are lit, place the diffusers and grates in position. Use protective gloves.
Shutting Down the Grill
- Turn off the main cylinder valve, then turn the burner control knobs to the OFF position.
Handling & Grilling Techniques
Before using the grill for the first time, it must be readied. This is done by starting the grill, turning on all the burners, and setting them to the “HI” position. You should re the grill for 20 minutes with the lid closed. After this time, switch off the burners and open the lid.
Wait until the appliance has cooled down. Firing should be done before the first use to get rid of odours and dirt. Preheat the grill. Before grilling food, the grill should reach the target temperature. Move the burners to the correct position and cover the grill with the lid.
This usually takes about 10 minutes. Before grilling, it is advisable to clean the grates with a brush and grease/spray them with vegetable oil. This will make the food less likely to stick to the surface of the grates.
Grilling Temperature
“HI” – the grates will heat up to 320-340 °C. The highest setting is used to heat the grill quickly or to fry steaks briefly before cooking them further at a lower Blaupunkt GG301 Electric Gas Grill temperature.”LO” – The grates at this setting should heat up to about 150 °C.
This temperature is advisable for preparing large cuts of meat or delicate fish and for smoking. Intermediate settings will achieve temperatures in the “HI” and “LO” range. A higher temperature of around 290 °C is advisable for preparing chops and steaks, a temperature between 200 and 230 °C is recommended for vegetables, poultry, burgers, and roasting.
The food will be cooked by convective air movement. It is best to place the food on the middle grate and use the outermost burners. To add flavor to the food, you can place a roasting tin under the food, placing it on the diffusers.
Fill the roasting tin with marinade, juicee or wine and top up during cooking. Grilling time and temperature depend on the method of grilling and the food being prepared. It is advisable to familiarise yourself with the cooking methods and use tried and tested recipes.
Maintenance, Cleaning & Storage
When you have finished grilling, it is advisable to prepare the grill for the next use by burning off the
residue. Set all burners to the “HI” position, close the lid, and allow the unit to burn for 5-10 minutes until no more smoke comes out.

The appearance of damage to the enamel surface, Blaupunkt GG301 Electric Gas Grill chipping, rust underneath, does not affect the use and function of the grates. Rust should be removed with a brush, then the surfaces should be preserved with vegetable oil.
Clean diffusers(aromatisers) of deposits with a brush. Metal parts may discolour when exposed to high temperatures. This does not affect the functional features of the unit. Inspect the burners regularly (at least once a year). Check them for cracks and signs of wear. The indicated symptoms may be indicative of contaminated or damaged venturi tubes in the burners: Thee grill does not reach the correct temperature.
- The grill does not heat evenly.

and maintenance of gas grills. - Store the grill in a place that is not exposed to atmospheric conditions such as rain, increased humidity, or direct sunlight. When not in use for long periods of time, disconnect the gas cylinder from the grill.

FAQs
Is the GG301 powered by gas, electricity, or both?
Electric ignition is a feature of the Blaupunkt GG301 gas grill. Propane or butane gas is used as the main fuel source, and the hob is started by a push-button or Blaupunkt GG301 Electric Gas Grill dial using an electric ignition system that is powered by an AA battery or an electric connection, depending on the type.
What type of gas does the GG301 use?
The GG301 works with liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, which is usually butane or propane. Use a hose that is approved for your area and a gas regulator that is suitable.
Does the GG301 need to be plugged into an outlet to work?
Power may only be needed for the electric ignition system. There is no need for an outlet if your model has a battery-operated ignition. It needs a nearby plug if it is powered by the mains. Gas is the only source of power for the grilling itself.
What is the maximum temperature the GG301 can reach?
The GG301 can withstand temperatures of up to 300–350°C (570–660°F), contingent on the gas supply and surrounding conditions. It works well for slow grilling, roasting, and searing.
Does the GG301 include a lid thermometer?
Indeed, the majority of GG301 models come with an integrated lid thermometer for convenient heat monitoring while cooking. For information on the temperature ranges for various foods, consult the handbook.
Can I use a griddle or other accessories with the GG301?
Indeed! Use only attachments that have been certified for outdoor gas grilling at high temperatures.
