local gas dealer for the most suitable regulators
and gas bottles.
Installation
Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for
outdoor use only
and
should be placed in a well-ventilated area, and
on a safe and even surface. Never place your
barbecue below ground level. Take care to
ensure that it is not placed UNDER any
combustible surface. The sides of the barbecue
should NEVER be closer than 1 metre from any
combustible surface, including trees and fences
and make sure that there are no heat sources
near the barbecue (cigarettes, open flames,
spark etc.). Keep this barbecue away from any
flammable materials!
Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body.
Position the gas bottle on level ground next to
the barbecue and safely away from any source
of heat.
Should you need to install or change the gas
bottle, confirm that the barbecue is switched off,
and that there are no sources of ignition
(cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near
before proceeding.
The casters should always have the brakes on
when the barbecue is in use.
Connecting a Gas Hose to the Barbecue
Connect the gas hose to the gas rail inlet on the
barbecue. Do not overtighten. Do not use any
sealing tape, paste or liquid on the connection.
Fixing a Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off
position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle
according to your regulator and bottle dealer‘s
instructions.
Operation
Warnings
Before proceeding, make certain that you
understand
the
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION section of this manual.
Your barbecue is not designed to be used
with more than 50% of the cooking area as a
solid plate — this includes baking dishes.
Full coverage will cause excessive build-up
of heat and damage the barbecue. This is
not covered by warranty.
Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking
surface, please use a long handled brush to
apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil
before each barbecuing session.
(Note:
When cooking for the first time, paint colours
may change slightly as a result. This is normal
and should be expected.)
Line the drip tray with aluminium foil, then
place a uniform layer of clean, dry sand 6-8mm
deep into the tray. This will absorb excess
cooking fat, thus making cleanup easy.
Lighting the Barbecue
Open the barbecue and side burner hood or
lid before lighting. Never light your barbecue
or side burner with the hood or lid closed.
Ensure all knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the gas bottle
or regulator.
Push the control knob of the burner you wish
to light and turn it anti-clockwise until you
feel resistance to the turning. Pause 4
seconds, then continue turning the control
knob until a click is heard and the burner is
lit. Repeat previous step several times until
the burner is lit.
Ignite any of the remaining burners in any
order, as needed. Confirm each burner is
alight before igniting another burner.
If burner fails to ignite after following above
procedure, turn all the knobs to the off
position. Close the gas valve on the gas
bottle. Wait 5 minutes. Reattempt all of the
above steps. If the barbecue still fails to
light, please refer to the manual ignition
instructions below.
After ignition, turn the burners to the high
position for 3-5 minutes in order to pre-heat
the barbecue. This should be done before
each cooking session. The hood or lid
should be open during preheating.
After completion of preheating, turn all
burners to the low position for best cooking
results.
Manual Ignition Instructions
Open the barbecue
and side burner hood
or
lid before lighting. Never light your
barbecue or side burner with the hood or lid
closed.
Ensure all knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the gas bottle
or regulator.
