Assembly, Operation & Maintenance Instructions
CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER:
To connect the Liquid Propane
gas supply cylinder: The cylinder valve should be in the “OFF” position. If not, turn the
valve clockwise until it stops. Make sure the cylinder valve has the proper type-1 external
male thread connections per ANSI Z211.81. Make sure the burner valves are in the “OFF”
position. Inspect the valve connections, port and regulator assembly to the valve, use your
hand to tighten the nut clockwise until it stops. Use of a wrench could damage the quick
coupling nut and result in a hazardous situation, open the cylinder valve fully by turning the
valve counterclockwise. Before lighting the grill, use a soap and water solution to check all
the connections for leaks. If a leak is found, turn the cylinder valve “OFF” and do not use
the grill until a local Liguid Propane dealer can make repairs.
OUTDOOR INSTALLATION GUIDE
This Appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural
ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are
rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
This appliance must not be used indoors. Do not use your barbeque in garages,
porches, sheds or other enclosed areas. The barbeque is not intended to be installed in
or used on recreational vehicles (e.g. boats,trucks and tents) and should not be placed
close to or under any surfaces that will burn or are sensitive to heat. Do not block/
obstruct the flow of air and combustion around the barbeque housing while in use.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and efficient cooking. Try to keep the
barbeque sheltered from strong winds as this will drastically reduce cooking efficiency. If
this is unavoidable, position the length of the barbeque to be parallel in the direction of the
wind. Keep the barbeque level. Check frequently that the burner remains alight when used
in conditions of strong wind (through the viewing hole on the left hand side of the chassis
or through open grills). Make sure the minimum distances of the barbeque to any wall or
combustible surface are met, and that when not using the stand, the supporting surface
can withstand the heat. When using the stand, take care that the barbeque is locked in
position using the locks on the castors & the hose is not touching any hot surface.
GAS TYPE AND CONSUMPTION
The barbeques are designed to operate on Propane gas only. Gas consumption, Pressure
and Injector Orifice sizes are shown on the Data Plate found under the right hand servery.
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.
MATT VITREOUS CAST IRON OPEN GRILLS AND SOLID
PLATE
The FORCE
TM
2 burner and FURNACE
TM
3 burner barbecues are supplied with open grills.
A flat, solid plate is available as an accessory for the FURNACE
TM
for the right hand side
(this is the recommended general grill and plate configuration which will reduce the heat
flowing over the control knobs). The FURNACE
TM
3 burner barbeque has the option of
a central teppanyaki plate or a flat, solid plate for the right hand side. Note that the grills
and plates used on either barbeque cannot be used on the other model and a maximum of
one grill plate should be exchanged for a plate at any time (only one plate installed). The
open grills have a solid strip of cast iron built into the bottom of the grill used to protect
the burner from dropping oil or food. The grills are fitted onto the supports built into the
inside of the chassis. When correctly allocated, there should be a (0.2in) 5-6mm gap
between the grills, and the inner edge of the chassis. Any excess fat or liquid will flow into
WARNING:
1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full
3. If the information in item 1&2 is not followed exactly, a fire causing
death or serious injury may occur.
CAUTION: Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the
cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder
valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of
caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
