• A gas braai is immediately hot
• Easier to clean
• Finely adjustable temperature control (for most models) with a control knob
• Easier to light with an automatic piezo ignitiona

HP means High Pressure and a HP braai works directly off a gas cartridge.
Low Pressure (LP) braais work off a gas cylinder and can be connected with a regulator & hose.

To enjoy your CADAC product for a longer, we advise you to thoroughly clean it after each use. Use a full-length, UV-resistant cover when you do not use your braai. Note that our covers are water resistant but not 100% waterproof. Put camping/portable braais in storage bags after use and clean. You can also use the CADAC braai cleaner and stainless steel polish.

Chromed grid:

Clean the grid in water with some detergent. When the grid got encrusted you can soak it for a night in water before you clean it.

Enamelled grid:


The enamelled grid is easy to clean with some water and detergent. Never use scourers, abrasives or metal tools as this can damage the enamelling. You can also use the CADAC braai cleaner; an effective cleaner to clean all chrome and enamelled parts of the braai.

Most of our cooking surfaces (like the paella pans and braai grids) have our GreenGrill ceramic non-stick coating. Always use wooden or plastic utensils to avoid damaging this coating. You can clean the surfaces in warm water with a soft sponge or dishwashing brush. You can also use the CADAC cleaner. Never use scourers, abrasives or metal tools.

On our website you can find the available cooking tops / accessories that can be used on our braais. All the cooking tops and accessories will show which braais it can be used on. When you’re not sure which type of CADAC braai you have, please send us an email to info@cadac.co.za with a picture of your braai, so our customer service can advice you.

• Open the gas cylinder, then turn the control knob from “OFF” position to “1” position.
• Push in the control knob at “1” position and then push the igniter button to light the appliance. Continue to hold the control knob in and push igniter button until the pilot burner is ignited. Hold in the control knob for a few seconds.
• Turn the control knob to “2” position or “3” position, which ever heat level you desire.
• After use, close the cylinder valve, then turn the control knob to the “OFF” position again.
• Detach the regulator from the cylinder after use.

• Use the pizza stone with pot stand & dome, or when you have a patio braai replace the Thermogrills with the pizza stone.
• Sprinkle some cake flower on the stone to prevent sticking.
• Never place a frozen pizza on the stone.
• Baking time depends on several aspects such as the thickness of the dough, the ingredients used for pizza toppings, weather conditions, etc.
• If the baking process goes too fast, turn off the heat and let the pizza bake with the lid closed.
• The stone can also be used on the braai grid; the baking process will just take longer. Note: the grid can be damaged if the stone slides.
• Never immerse the stone in water, but wipe with a wet cloth or rinse briefly.
• Do not use detergents to clean the stone.
• It is perfectly normal for the pizza stones to stain and darken with use.

First check if the burner, the gas valve and hose are free from dust, and then if the gas valve on the gas bottle is open. If your grill has a piezo ignition, you can easily check whether the defect is in this piezo ignition: In case you can light your braai with a long match, it is likely that the piezo ignition is defect. (Note: the piezo ignition of the BraaiMaxx runs on batteries. Replace the batteries and check again if the piezo ignition works).

Please send an email to info@cadac.co.za with the following information:

• A description of the problem

• A photo or copy of your proof of purchase
• Your address and telephone number

When you connect a hose to your braai, we recommend to perform a leak test. Always do this outdoors! Prepare a mixture of water (1 part) and detergent (1 part) and spread it on the gas connection. Turn the gas on then. When bubbles appear on the connection, there’s a gas leak. You must reconnect the hose. Always close the gas supply of the cylinder/cartridge before you close the gas supply of your braai. If the bubbles appear again in a second test, please contact your CADAC dealer.

• Turn off the valve
• Open all windows and doors to ventilate the area
• Move the cylinder outdoors if possible
• Keep the cylinder upright to prevent gas from escaping

• Always replace worn-out or faulty tubing and regulators. Replace cylinder valve every 10 years (SANS specs)
• Never tamper with your LPG cylinder or cylinder fittings
• When not in use, keep cylinder valve closed, even if empty
• Always replace the dust protection cap in the cylinder opening when cylinder is not in use
• Ensure your cylinder is filled by an authorised LP Gas Dealer. When filling the cylinder with gas, always ensure that it is not over filled
• Check the cylinder valve for leaks regularly by applying soapy water on the valve. If bubbles form with the valve closed then your valve is leaking
• If this occurs, empty your cylinder by blowing the gas off outdoors, far away from any naked flames, close to drains or openings to basements. Take your cylinder to an authorized CADAC service center or contact CADAC customer service
