FAQs

What type of gas does the Cadac Carri Chef 40 use?

Can I use other Cadac cooking tops with this model?

How do I clean the ceramic GreenGrill cooking surfaces?

Allow the surfaces to cool, then clean with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the ceramic coating.

What are the two cooking height options?

The dual-height legs allow for cooking at approximately 93cm (taller) and 70cm (shorter).

Is the gas cylinder included?

No, the gas cylinder and regulator are typically sold separately.

How compact is it for storage and transport?

The entire unit, including the two-part legs, packs down into a durable storage bag, making it relatively compact for its feature set.

Does the lid double as a windshield?

Yes, the dome lid can be hooked onto the side of the BBQ to act as a windshield.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not ignite

Ensure the gas cylinder is connected correctly and the valve is open. Check that the piezo ignition is functional; if not, manual ignition with a long lighter can be attempted. Make sure no other burners are active.

Uneven heat distribution

Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface. Check that the cooking surface is seated correctly. For persistent issues, the burner may require cleaning or inspection.

Low gas flow or flame output

Verify the gas cylinder is not empty. Check for kinks or blockages in the gas hose. Ensure the regulator is functioning correctly.

Fat pan overflowing

Ensure the fat pan is correctly positioned and not overfilled with food. Do not cook excessively fatty foods that produce large amounts of drippings at once.
