OTHER PRECAUTIONS

Do not obstruct any of the ventilation openings in the barbecue body. 
Also, position the gas supply cylinder inside the cabinet, in the cylinder 
base positioning hole. Should you need to change the gas cylinder, 
confirm that the cylinder is off, and that there are no sources of ignition 
(cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near before proceeding. Be sure 
to inspect the gas hose and ensure it is free of any twisting or tension. 
The hose should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks, which could 
obstruct free flow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no part of the 
hose should touch any hot barbecue parts. Inspect the hose before use. 
If the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use 
with ULPG and meet the national standards for the country of use. The 
length shall not exceed 1.5m. Should minimum clearances not be adhered 
to severe flare up may be experienced due to lack of airflow around the 
barbecue, thus voiding manufacturer’s warranty.

WARNING! 

Caution/Danger:

undertaken for the heat and temperature to ensure safe 
cooking.  

Too much heat can cause fire.

TURNING OFF A BURNER

Push in then turn each burner control knob clockwise to the “OFF” 
position.

TURNING OFF YOUR BARBECUE

When you have finished using your barbecue, turn off the gas at the 
bottle. Push in and then turn all the control valves fully clockwise to the 
“OFF” position. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before replacing 

the barbecue lid or closing its hood. Once cooled, a protective cover 
should always be fitted to the barbecue to protect your investment from 
the ailments when not in use.

TIMER 

The BBQ TIMER is located on the Side Table. The TIMER will give an 
audible sound when a pre-set time is activated.

The Timer is purely a mechanical device worked by an internal coil spring. 
The coil spring works both the timer and the ringer and requires adequate 
winding up to work correctly. If setting for a period of less than sixty 
minutes the timer should first be wound clockwise half a turn to the sixty 
minute graduation, then back to the desired time.

Clockwise

The timer has a maximum setting of 120 minutes with graduation 
markings at 5 minutes intervals. The timer is purely a time indicator and 
should not be used for accurate time measurement. DO NOT leave the 
BBQ unattended when cooking, plus frequently check the
items being cooked.

The below actions will damage the internal workings of the TIMER beyond 
repair.

DO NOT 

force the timer knob clockwise more than one full turn and 

DO NOT

 force the timer knob anti-clockwise past the 120 minute “top” 

graduation mark as this will damage the timer.

WARMING RACK

Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to 
warm items such as bread rolls. Always check that your warming rack is 
properly fitted before use.

GRILL COOKING

The burners heat up the flame tamers underneath the grill, which in turn 
heats the food on the grill. The natural juices produced during cooking fall 
onto the flame tamers below and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke 
bastes the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique barbecue 
flavour.

FLAT PLATE / FLAT-RIBBED PLATE / DEEP DISH  
(WHERE SUPPLIED) 

The burners heat the griddle plate directly, which then cooks the food on 
contact. These allow for the cooking of smaller items, such as seafood, 
which could fall through the spaces of a grill. They are also suitable for 
cooking items that require high-temperature/short-duration cooking, 
such as vegetables and smaller cuts of fish. Similarly, these can be used 
in exactly the same way as a griddle in the kitchen, for searing steaks, 
cooking eggs, etc.

DO NOT

 use both the plate and deep dish at the same time. This will 

cause your BBQ to overheat and could cause a fire.

COOKING AND USE OF HOOD

Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give the option of cooking with 
hood closed to form an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such as joints of meat, 
whole chickens, etc. 
Do not cook with the hood down at a high temperature for long periods 
of time.
