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.
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 hood is open.
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 all the way.
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.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position push and
turn the control knob anti-clockwise to HIGH.
Check for sparking to the burners.
2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition
point, check for any loose leads at either the
electrode or the ignition pack.
3. Push and turn anti-clockwise to HIGH the
control knob.
4. The side burner cover must be open before
pushing and turning the control knob
anti-clockwise to HIGH.
5. If the burner fails to light after several
attempts turn off the gas supply and inspect
for any obstructions to the 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).
• 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 must be turned off at the cylinder.
• 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.
• NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails to
produce a spark at the electrode, BBQ can
be lit by a long BBQ match. With hood open
insert ignited match into burner lighting
hole positioned on the right hand side of
the BBQ body (underneath side shelf). Push
and turn the far right control knob to HIGH.
Burner ignition can be checked through this
hole. Subsequent burners will cross light.
• Check performance of burner prior to
installing BBQ plates.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite BBQ.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or
other material.
• Always use protective gloves when handling
hot components.
