THE EVOLUTION OF PORTABLE OUTDOOR COOKING
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and efficient cooking. Try to keep the barbecue sheltered
from strong winds as this will drastically reduce cooking efficiency. If this is unavoidable, position the length of
the barbecue to be parallel in the direction of the wind. The flat lid supplied with the barbecue can be hung
from the rear of the appliance to give an extra measure of wind protection. Keep the barbecue level. Check
frequently that the burner remains alight when used in conditions of strong wind (through the open grill).
Never leave the barbecue unattended when gas is being used to ignite solid fuels, and always time the
procedure so that the gas is running for 8 minutes only (any longer can create a safety hazard and will only
slow the ignition process down). Note: The hose should always be pulled away from the barbecue to minimise
the chance of it touching a hot surface or hot solid fuel remnants touching the hose. Make sure the minimum
distances of the barbecue to any wall or combustible surface are met, and that when not using a Universal
Stand, the supporting surface can withstand the heat and will not burn if any hot solid fuel remnants drop on
the surface. When using an optional Universal Stand, take care that the barbecue is locked in position & the
hose is not touching any hot surface. For more specific information (including set-up illustrations and
diagrams), recommendations on solid fuels and up to date cooking instructions, please visit the Everdure web
site at www.everdure.com.
GAS TYPE AND CONSUMPTION
The barbecues are designed to operate on Universal LPG only (Propane and/or butane gas) for both gas
barbecuing and the ignition of solid fuels. Gas consumption, Pressure and Injector Orifice size are shown on the
Data Plate found at the rear of the appliance.
GAS CONTROL KNOB
The gas control knob locks in both the Off and High positions. By depressing the knob and turning anti-
clockwise, gas flow will gradually increase until the High position is reached. Continue turning in this direction
and gas flow will decrease until a simmer level is reached at Low. To turn gas flow off the gas control knob
must be turned clockwise from Low, depressed at High and turned until the Off position is reached.
COOKING GRILL
The open cooking grill is made from chromed wire. Take care not to scratch off the plating as the coating
protects the grill from rusting. The grill is fitted to the top of the appliance and either half can be raised to add
extra fuel etc. The grill can be fully removed to facilitate adding extra fuel or for internal cleaning.
Please note: Never replace the open grill with any solid plate or cooking utensil that blocks off the air flow
through the open grill except those supplied and/or recommended by Everdure. Blocking off the air flow
through the grill can create build ups of poisonous emissions (using gas or solid fuels) which are potentially
dangerous to your health and retard the cooking efficiency.
REMOVABLE SOLID SIZZLING PLATE (OPTIONAL)
The cast iron sizzling plate (optional) is designed to sit in the middle of the open grill, sitting above the gas
burner. When in use, there should be a gap at all sides of the barbecue to allow the heat and emissions to
escape around all sides of the sizzling plate, which allows a faster cooking time and more efficient combustion
of gas. The sizzling plate should not be placed on the grill until after the gas has ignited. The sizzling plate can
be added to or removed from the barbecue using the wire handles at either side (note: these will get hot and
remain so for a long time so heat resistant gloves should be used to move the plate around and caution taken
when setting the plate down after use).
It is recommended that the sizzling plate only be used with the gas burner and not when cooking with solid
fuels.
NOTE: The sizzling plate has a vitreous enamel coating which can chip or crack when mishandled. When
cooking on the coated surfaces, please ensure that metallic or sharp objects are NOT used. Damage to plates
and grills due to the use of metallic or sharp objects will not be covered under warranty. It is recommended to
use silicone cooking utensils as these are both hygienic and withstand high temperatures.
