USING YOUR BARBECUE
Before you light the Barbecue
Perform the following checks:
• Make sure all connections are tight, and leak-tested.
Gas regulators fitted with a hand-tightened wheel must
be checked to ensure they are secured.
• Check that all control knobs are in the ‘Off’ position, and
that gas supply is turned off.
• Ensure that the Hood on the barbecue, and the Lid
on the side-burner are open. If lids are closed there
is a risk of gas accumulating inside, and creating a
dangerous situation.
• The hose and regulator supplied with this barbecue
must be used at all times whilst operating this barbecue.
Inspect the hose and regulator regularly for cracks or any
sign of damage. If there is excessive abrasion or wear,
replace only with a genuine BeefEater regulator.
Grease Tray
Neatly line the grease tray with some aluminium foil
sheeting to aid in clean up. Cut the foil to shape, and make
sure it sits on the bottom of the tray.
Fill the tray with 6mm (1/4”) layer of dry sand or other non-
combustible absorbent material to absorb grease. Change
the foil and absorbent material regularly to reduce the
likelihood of grease tray fire.
Lighting the Barbecue
Ensure the appliance is placed on a flat, level, non-
combustible surface.
• Ensure the regulator is connected to the LPG cylinder
(See Regulator Connection page 4.), and the hose is not
subject to any twisting, and is not close to hot surfaces.
• Verify all joints are spanner tight and check for leaks after
turning on gas supply. See correct procedure on page 4.
• Ensure all knobs are in the ‘Off’ position.
• Ensure cooking plate and grill are in place.
• Open Gas Cylinder valve
NOTE: The barbecue is fitted with a safety feature that
prevents the burners from being accidentally turned on.
You must push the knob inwards to disengage the lock, and
only then start turning it.
Light each burner by following this procedure:
• Read all instructions before lighting.
• Open Hood before lighting.
• Push in and turn Right-Hand-Side knob counter-
clockwise to ‘High’.
• If ignition does not occur, return to ‘Off’ and repeat after
5 minutes.
Check for a clear blue flame with just a tip of yellow.
Once the right-hand-side burner is alight, light each
successive burner from right to left.
WARNING
WARNING
Excess yellow tipping means the combustion is not right, if
that is observed, turn the Barbecue burners off, and refer
to troubleshooting at the end of this manual.
Do not use more than 2 burners on ‘High’ with the
hood closed.
If the burner does not light
Keep the control knob pushed, and return the knob in the
clockwise direction to the ‘Off’ position. Wait 5 minutes, and
repeat the lighting procedure steps 1 – 4 above again. If after
a few attempts you still can not light the burners, contact
your retailer before proceeding.
Manual Lighting
Press and turn the right hand control knob anti-clockwise
to the ‘High’ position, then light the right hand burner
immediately through a hole provided in the middle of the
right hand barbecue side panel.
Check for proper burner operation
Following operating instructions light each burner and
check for a clear blue flame with just a tip of yellow. Excess
yellow tipping can be adjusted using the screw on the side
of the burner. If you are unable to achieve correct operation,
consult your dealer.
Preparing the Plate and Grill
Your barbecue has heavy duty enamelled Cast Iron plate
and grill. Enamel is a hard, non-rusting surface which will
ensure the long life of your cooking surface.
The plate and grill are ready to use, but it is recommended
to wash them with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and
rinse before use.
To ensure the longevity of the enamel surface on the Cast
Iron plate and grill it is strongly advised to avoid impact with
other metal parts and sharp utensils.
To turn off a burner
Simply turn the knob (without pushing) clockwise to the ‘Off’
position.
