of the barbecue should NEVER be closer
than 1 metre from any combustible surface.
Keep this barbecue away from any flammable
materials!
b. Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in
the barbecue body. Position the gas supply
bottle on level ground next to the barbecue
and safely away from any source of heat.
Should you need to 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. Inspect the gas hose to
ensure it is free of any twisting or tension. The
hose should hang freely with no bends, folds,
or kinks that could obstruct free flow of gas.
Apart from the connection point, no part of the
hose should touch any hot barbecue parts.
Always inspect the hose for cuts, cracks, or
excessive wear before use. If the hose is
damaged, it must be replaced with hose
suitable for use with LPG and meet the
national standards for the country of use. The
length of the hose shall not exceed 1.5m.
N.B.-The date on U.K. orange hose is the
date of manufacture, not the expiry date.
c. Fixing the 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.
d. Leak Testing (To be performed in a
well-ventilated area.)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off
position. Open the gas control valve on the
bottle or regulator. Check for leaks by
brushing a solution of ½ water and ½ soap
over all gas system joints, including all valve
connections, hose connections and regulator
connections. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME
to test for leaks at anytime. If bubbles form
over any of the joints, there is a leak. Turn off
the gas supply and retighten all joints. Repeat
test. If bubbles form again, do not use the
barbecue. Please contact your local dealer for
assistance. Leak test annually, and whenever
the gas bottle is removed or replaced.

b. Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking
grill, 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.)
c. Lighting the Barbecue
•
Open the barbecue hood if applicable.
•
Ensure all knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the gas
bottle or regulator.
•
Push and turn the leftmost control knob
to the high position. Press the ignition
button rapidly several times until left
portion of the burner is lit. If burner fails to
ignite, turn control knob to the off position
and turn gas off at the bottle or regulator.
Wait five minutes, then repeat the above
steps. After successful lighting of the left
side, ignite the remaining portion of the
burner. If the 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,
then repeat the above steps. If the
barbecue still fails to light, please refer to
the manual ignition instructions in section
below.
•
After ignition, the burner should be
burned at the high position for 3-5
minutes in order to preheat the barbecue.
This process should be done before
every cooking session. The hood (where
applicable) should be open during
preheating.
•
After completion of preheating, turn the
burner to the low position for best
cooking results.
