HOSE AND REGULATOR
These items are not included with the barbecue. Only use hose
and regulators approved for LP gas at the above pressures. The
estimated life expectancy of the regulator is 10 years. Change
the regulator within 10 years of the date of manufacture.
The use of the wrong hose or regulator is unsafe; always check
that you have the correct items before operating the barbecue.
The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the
country of use. The length of the hose must be 1.2 metres
(maximum) and the inner diameter 10 mm. A worn or dam-
aged hose must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not bent,
clogged, or in contact with any part of the barbecue other than
at its connection.
Storage of the Barbecue
Storing the appliance indoors is only permissible if the LP gas
cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.
When the appliance is not to be used for a long period of time,
it should be placed in its original packaging and stored in a dry,
dust free environment.
LP GAS CYLINDER
The LP gas cylinder should not be dropped or handled roughly!
If the barbecue is not in use, the cylinder must be disconnected
from the appliance. Place the protective cap on the cylinder
after disconnecting the cylinder from the appliance.
The LP cylinder must be stored outdoors in an upright position
and out of the reach of children. The cylinder must never be
stored in an environment where temperatures can reach over
50°C. Do not store the cylinder near flames, ignition flames, or
other sources of ignition.
DO NOT SMOKE NEAR THE LP GAS CYLINDER.
This barbecue is designed for use outdoors, away from any
flammable materials. It is important that there are no overhead
obstructions and that there is a minimum distance of 1 m
from the side or rear of the appliance. It is important that the
ventilation openings of the barbecue are not obstructed. The
barbecue must be used on a level, stable surface. The appliance
should be protected from direct airflow and shall be positioned
or protected against direct penetration by any trickling water
(e.g. rain).
No modifications should be made to any part of this barbecue
and repairs and maintenance should only be carried out by a
registered gas service company.
Connecting the LP gas cylinder to the barbecue
Before connection, ensure that there is no debris or dirt caught
in the head of the LP gas cylinder, regulator, burner, and burner
ports. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner
and its inlet. A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the
barbecue.
Clean burner holes with a heavy-duty pipe cleaner.
Fit the hose to the appliance using a spanner to tighten it
onto the connection thread. If the hose is replaced, it must be
secured to the barbecue and regulator connections with hose
clips. Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder according to
the directions when the barbecue is not in use.
The Barbecue must be operated in a well-ventilated area. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion air to the burner when the
barbecue is in use. ONLY USE THIS BARBECUE OUTDOORS.
BEFORE USE, CHECK FOR LEAKS IN THE HOSE AND/OR CONNEC-
TION THREADS.
Never check for leaks with a naked flame, always use a soapy
water solution.
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
Make 2-3 fluid ounces (6-9 dl) of leak detecting solution by
mixing one part dishwashing liquid with 3 parts water.
Ensure that the control valve is “OFF”.
Connect the regulator to the LP gas cylinder and ON/OFF valve
to the burner. Ensure that the connections are secure and then
turn the gas ON.
Brush the soapy solution onto the hose and all joints. If bubbles
appear you have a leak, which must be rectified before use.
Retest after fixing the fault.
Turn the gas OFF at the LP gas cylinder after testing.
If leakage is detected and cannot be rectified, consult your gas
dealer in order to fix the leak.
LIGHTING YOUR SMOKER
Lighting Instructions
1. Turn the control knob clockwise to the “ ” position.
2. Open the hood before use.
3. Connect the pressure regulator to the gas tank. Turn the gas
supply to “ON” at the regulator switch. Using soapy water, check
for any gas leak between the tank and the regulator.
4. Push down the control knob and turn it anticlockwise to the
full-rate position whilst pressing the ignition button until the
burner has lit. If the burner does not light, repeat this process
three or four times.
5. If the burner has still not lit, wait five minutes and repeat step
4.
6. Adjust the burner to the desired operating temperature – .
7. To turn the smoker off: turn the cylinder valve or regulator
switch to the “OFF” position. Then turn all control knobs on the
appliance clockwise to the “ ” position.
Warning: If the burner fails to ignite, turn control knob off
(clockwise) and turn the cylinder valve off. Wait five minutes
before attempting to relight the burners.
Before cooking for the first time, operate the smoker for about
fifteen minutes with the lid closed and the gas turned on HIGH.
This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate any odour
from the painted finish.
Clean your smoker after each use. DO NOT use abrasive or
flammable cleaners, as these will damage the product and may
cause fire. Clean with warm soapy water.
WARNING: Accessible parts and surfaces may be very hot. Keep
young children away from the hot appliance at all times (even
while it is cooling down!). We recommend wearing protective
gloves (e.g. oven gloves) when handling, particularly the hot
components.
CLEANING AND CARE
CAUTION: All cleaning and maintenance should be carried out
when the smoker is cool and with the gas valve turned OFF at
the gas cylinder.
A. CLEANING
To keep the smoker in good condition and ensure optimal per-
formance, cleaning and maintenance are required. Do at least
the following after each use, as soon as the smoker has cooled.
SURFACES
Use a mild detergent or a solution of baking soda and hot
water. Non-abrasive scouring powder can be used on stubborn
stains. Then rinse with water. If the inside surface of the smoker
lid has the appearance of peeling paint, baked-on grease build-
