  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.
