THE EVOLUTION OF PORTABLE OUTDOOR COOKING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
Read the safety precautions of this booklet carefully before removing the barbecue from
its carton or connecting the barbecue to its gas supply. If you are unsure about
anything regarding your barbecue, please contact Everdure in Australia on
1300 766 066 or in New Zealand on (09) 415 6000 before operating your appliance.
1.
This Portable barbecue is intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. This appliance must NOT be used indoors.
2.
For your safety and enjoyment, read all operating instructions before lighting the appliance.
3.
Ensure that all gas connections are tight before operating this appliance (refer to leak testing procedure in this manual).
Always check for leaks when a gas cylinder is replaced or reconnected.
4.
Unsupervised children or pets should not be near a barbecue while cooking or during warm up or cool down. Ensure
children or pets are kept a distance well away from the barbecue whilst it is in use. Ensure that young children do not play
with the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons.
5.
Particular care must be taken when removing the fat tray and the disposable foil trays. Mishandling of hot oil and fats can
cause serious injury. Take care when changing plates & grills that parts are not hot & oil or fat does not drop onto the
burner.
6.
Turn gas valve/control knob and gas cylinder valve off after use (including after gas assisted charcoal ignition). Do not allow
unburned gas to build.
7.
Do not use this appliance for any purpose other than what it is intended for.
8.
Do not move this barbecue while in use or directly after use, as accessible parts may be very hot. The barbecue should only
be lifted by the handles under the plastic base at either side. Take care that undue pressure will not be placed on the gas
hose, or turn off the gas supply & remove the hose from the cylinder or gas source (not at the barbecue). Take care that the
fat tray & disposable foil are removed to minimise fat/oil spillage.
9.
This barbecue has been designed to be used either on a raised bench or on the optional Universal Stand. When using a
raised surface (table etc.), ensure the surface is level, large enough and strong enough to support the barbecue and will
withstand temperatures of 60°C above ambient temperature. When using a Universal Stand, ensure that your barbecue is in
a level position and the barbecue is secured onto the stand correctly (this is explained in the stand instructions).
10.
People with flammable clothing such as nylon etc. should keep well away from the barbecue when it is operating.
11.
Never leave the burner on high for more than 10 minutes unless actually cooking.
12.
In case of fat fire while cooking with gas, turn cylinder off. Fat trays should be cleaned and checked before using the
barbecue. Disposable foil should be replaced before using the barbecue. Regular cleaning should reduce the build up of
fat and food residues which is combustible and can result in a fat fire. Fat fires can be prevented with diligence in cleaning
your fat tray and regular replacement of foil lining. Do not allow the fat tray to overflow. Damage as a result of fat fire is
not covered by your warranty and voids it. Do not use sand, fat absorbents or kitty litter in the fat tray.
13.
Ensure that the product has adequate clearance from combustible materials. The appliance is designed so that heat will not
affect the Stand. All combustible materials must be kept more than 250mm from the sides and rear of the barbecue and
more than 1500mm above the cooking surface of the barbecue.
14.
If the burner makes a hissing sound when lit, it may be burning internally. Turn the burner off, allow to cool, and try ignition
again. Keep your barbecue protected against strong wind – if this cannot be avoided, always check that the burner remains
alight if operating the barbecue in windy conditions. The flat lid supplied with the barbecue can be hung from the rear of the
appliance and utilised as a wind break, as well as reduce fat & oil splatter to the rear.
15.
Do not carry out any servicing on the gas manifold of the barbecue yourself – this must only be done by authorised
technicians.
16.
We recommend that you regularly maintain your barbecue and keep it in good condition. This can be achieved by following
the cleaning and maintenance suggestions in this booklet.
17.
The barbecue is designed to be used with either 4kg or 9kg gas cylinders (when using the optional Universal Stand, only use
9kg gas cylinders). When not using a Universal Stand, the cylinder should be placed at a lower level to the barbecue, as far
away as the hose will allow without undue tension on the hose, in a protected spot (so it does not receive any fat splatter
from cooking or can be accidently knocked over). When using a Universal Stand, the gas cylinder should be placed in the
dedicated cylinder mounting at the bottom of the Stand, not beside it, and locked into place.
18.
This appliance is not suitable for mounting in a movable vehicle (boat, trailer etc).
19.
Do not use or store this appliance in areas of high salt content (a marine environment) or an area with caustic fumes or
liquids (such as a domestic pool), as these chemicals can cause the appliance materials to deteriorate (and void the
warranty). Regular cleaning and covering with an Everdure barbecue cover can help can help to reduce this.
20.
Always remove the flat lid before ignition. Do not place flat lid over barbecue until the appliance is cool.
