• KEEP BARBECUE AREA CLEAR AND
FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS,
GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE
VAPOURS AND LIQUIDS
• DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF AIR
FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
• KEEP THE VENTILATION OPENINGS OF
THE CYLINDER ENCLOSURE CABINET
FREE AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS
• VISUALLY CHECK BURNER FLAMES
OCCASIONALLY TO ENSURE PROPER
FLAME PATTERN AS SHOWN BELOW
• FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A
HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF
NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN
INJURY.
Burning-off excess food after every cookout will keep it ready for
instant use. However,at least every 3 months you must give the
entire barbecue a thorough cleaning to minimise your risk of
grease fire and keep the barbecue in top shape.
Follow these
steps:
1.
Turn all burner valves to the full
‘OFF’
position.
2.
Turn the LP gas cylinder valve to the full
‘OFF’
position.
3.
Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder. Inspect the
hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts or any
other damage, and replace as necessary.
Refer to the Parts
List in this operator’s manual, pages 24 - 27.
4.
Remove and clean the flame tamers, cooking plates and
barbecue burners.
5.
Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6.
Brush the inside and bottom of the barbecue with a fibre
pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild soap and warm
water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
7.
Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check each orifice
for obstruction.
8.
Check each spark electrode, adjusting as needed. The
space between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver
should be approximately 4 - 5 mm.
9.
Replace the burners and adjust the gas collector box. The
edge of the collector box should be overlapping the burner
port.
10. Reconnect the gas source and observe the burner flame for
correct operation.
11. Replace flame tamers and cooking plates.

• BEWARE OF SPIDERS.
BURNER TUBES SHOULD BE
INSPECTED AND CLEANED
PERIODICALLY.
• SPIDERS AND SMALL INSECTS CAN
OCCASIONALLY SPIN WEBS OR MAKE
NESTS IN THE BURNER TUBES.
THESE WEBS CAN LEAD TO A GAS
FLOW OBSTRUCTION WHICH COULD
RESULT IN A FIRE IN AND AROUND
THE BURNER TUBES
• THIS TYPE OF FIRE IS KNOWN AS
‘FLASH-BACK’ AND CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR
BARBECUE AND CREATE AN UNSAFE
OPERATING CONDITION FOR THE
USER
• ALTHOUGH AN OBSTRUCTED BURNER
TUBE IS NOT THE ONLY CAUSE OF
‘FLASH-BACK’ IT IS THE MOST
COMMON CAUSE AND FREQUENT
INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF THE
BURNER TUBES IS NECESSARY.

We recommend that you minimise the barbecue’s exposure to
the elements. High moisture content in the air
(rain, mist, salt
spray etc.)
can affect metal components and lead to material
breakdown. If left in an area subjected to high moisture content,
we strongly recommend that you observe the cleaning procedure
on a regular basis and cover the appliance whilst not in use
(covers
are available as an optional extra)
. Material breakdown from high
moisture conditions can be avoided if the appliance is well protected
from the weather and regular cleaning is carried out.
