Hose
•
Check that the gas hose does not touch any part of the barbecue that may become hot during operation.
•
If the hose shows any sign of damage it must be replaced with a hose that is suitable for use with LPG
(liquid petroleum gas) and meets British Standards.
•
The length of hose should not exceed 1.5 metres.
Please note: the date on UK orange hose is the date of manufacture – not the expiry date.
You must have the correct gas bottle, regulator, and hose for the barbecue to operate safely and
efficiently. Use of an incorrect or faulty regulator is dangerous and will invalidate the warranty on
this product. If you are unsure, please check with your local gas dealer.
INSTALLATION
Precautions:
•
Only use this barbecue in a well-ventilated outdoor area.
•
Check that the barbecue is not placed UNDER any combustible surface.
•
The sides of the barbecue should never be closer than 1 metre to any combustible material.
•
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the barbecue body
•
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position before connecting the regulator.
•
Always connect the regulator in accordance with the regulator and gas cylinder suppliers instructions.

The casters should always have the brakes on when the barbecue is in use.
LEAK TESTING

•
Turn off the gas
•
Retighten all joints
•
Repeat test
•
If bubbles form again do not use the barbecue and contact your local distributor for assistance.
OPERATION
Your barbecue is not designed to be used with more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid plate – this
includes baking dishes. If more than 50% of your cooking area is covered by a solid cooking surface, the
barbecue could overheat causing damage that is not covered by warranty.
Grill cooking
The burners heat the flame tamers beneath the grill that, in turn, heats the food. The natural juices produced
during cooking fall onto the flame tamers and vaporise to form smoke. The smoke then rises and ‘bastes’ the
food, giving it that unique barbecued flavour. More even cooking of food will be achieved with the hood down
which will also hold the heat in. This should only be done with the burners on a low to medium setting.
Roasting (hooded barbecues only)
If your barbecue is supplied with a roasting hood rather than a lid you are able to roast or bake in a similar
way as in a conventional gas oven. It is advisable not to place fatty food onto the warming basket to avoid
the possibility of juices and fat running down the back of your barbecue. For best results place the food you
wish to bake or roast in a metal baking tray and set it on one side of the cooking grill. Turn the burners
directly under the food to the ‘OFF’ position and the burners opposite the food to the ‘Medium’ setting. Close
the lid and this will form an oven to cook the food ‘indirectly’. Monitor the temperature using the temperature
