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.
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 or spanner.
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.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1. Turn all the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.
2. With cylinder valve in ‘CLOSE’ position press the
piezo igniter button (a single click is heard). Check for
sparking to the burners.
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 turn the cylinder valve to
‘OPEN’.
5. Push and turn control knob anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’
and press the igniter button again.
6. If the burner fails to ignite after several attempts turn
off gas supply at cylinder valve and the control knob
off (clockwise). Wait five minutes before attempting to
relight with ignition sequence.
7. Following successful ignition, to ignite remaining
burners, turn control knobs to the HIGH position
starting with the burner closest to the ignition burner.
8. Adjust the heat by turning each control knob to the
“HIGH”/”LOW” position.
9. To turn the barbecue ‘OFF’ turn the cylinder valve to
the ‘CLOSE’ position, then turn the control knobs on
the barbecue clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.
Note: If for some reason, ignitor fails to
produce a spark at the electrode, barbecue
can be lit by a long barbecue match. Insert
lighted match into match lighting hole
positioned on the left side of the BBQ body
(underneath side shelf). Push and turn far
left control knob to ‘HIGH’. Burner ignition
can be checked through this hole. Light
remaining burners by turning control knobs
to ‘HIGH’.
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).
Check performance of burner prior to
installing barbecue plates.
Do not smoke when attempting to ignite
barbecue.
Never use volcanic rock, heatbeads or
other material.
Always use protective gloves when
handling hot components.
