LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time, read the
instructions fully to ensure the barbecue is assembled
correctly and is ready for use.
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1. The lid must always be removed before lighting and
during use.
2. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position check the piezo
igniter by pushing in and rotating the control knob
anti-clockwise. Lift the hot plate up and check for
sparking to the burner.
3. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition point,
check that the ignition lead is firmly attached to the
control and sparker tip.
4. With sparking established push down and turn the
control knob anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’.
5. If the burner fails to light after several attempts turn off
gas and inspect for obstructions to gas flow.
If re–ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue is still
hot, you must wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before
commencing to re–ignite (this allows accumulated gas
fumes to clear).
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Connecting & Disconnecting to Gas Source
Familiarise yourself with the general information and safety
guidelines located at the front of this manual.
Check:
1. The cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be heard
when shaken.
2. The burner controls are in the ‘OFF’ position.
Connecting
1. Ensure cylinder valve is in its full off position.
2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder connection
or the hose. NEVER attempt to use damaged equipment.
3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the nut
to a positive stop by hand.
4. Open cylinder valve fully. If a leak can be heard at either
end of the hose turn cylinder off and tighten joint. Wait 5
minutes before re-testing and use a soapy water solution
to check the joint. If bubbles appear the connection will
need to be re-tightened.
Refer to P8 for more detailed instructions on
connecting the appliance to the cylinder.
Disconnecting
1. Ensure the burner control is in the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Ensure cylinder valve is in the full off position.
For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the
cylinder only, DO NOT disconnect hose from appliance.
Regulator Safety Feature
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas
cylinder to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature
included that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak.
You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without
having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on
the gas using the barbecue control knob before you turn on
the gas cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety feature
activates, the barbecue will operate with reduced output as
gas flow is restricted.
These steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator
safety device:
1. Ensure the barbecue lid is up.
2. Turn gas cylinder valve off.
3. Turn off all control knobs.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.
7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve one turn. Do not
put excessive force on the valve at the full open
position,
to avoid damaging the valve.
9. Light barbecue as per the instructions provided.
IMPORTANT
• Before connecting and disconnecting barbecue to gas
source, make sure burner controls are in ‘OFF’
position.
• CAUTION: When the barbecue is not in use, the gas
cylinder must be disconnected.
• Check that the seals between the appliance and the
gas cylinder are in place and in good condition before
connecting the gas cylinder.
• Do not use this appliance if it has damaged or worn
seals.
IMPORTANT
• NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails to produce a
spark at the electrode, barbecue can be lit by a long
barbecue match with lid up. Insert the match into
a hole on the side of the barbecue and turn gas
control to high.
• Check performance of burner prior to installing hot
plate.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite barbecue.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other material.
• Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.
