Use Instructions
Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the WARNINGS section of this manual.
• Preparation before cooking – To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking grill, it is recommended
to apply a light coat of cooking oil to the food before placing on the grill.

temperatures. This is normal and should be expected.
Lighting the Barbecue

• Push control dial in and slowly turn to “ ” position.
• If burner does not light, return to OFF position and try again.
• Once ignition has occured, hold dial in for at least 10 seconds to ensure the burner stays lit.
• If burner does not light or stay lit after holding dial in for 10 seconds, turn the dial to OFF position
and wait for 1 minute and try again. Do not continuously hold the dial in as you may cause a build
up of gas.
• In windy conditions shield from wind to ensure easy lighting.
• Turn control dial to alter burner settings as required.
• After ignition, the burners should be burned at the high position for 3-5minutes in order to preheat
the barbecue. This process should be done after every cooking session. IMPORTANT - The hood
should be open during preheating.
• After completion of preheating, turn burners to low position for best cooking results.
Manual Lighting Instructions
• Remove the cooking grill and vapour bar from barbecue.

• After successful lighting, light each burner from left to right as desired.
• If burner fails to ignite after repeated attempts, contact the help line number stated in this manual.
Grill Cooking
The Vapour bar evenly distributes the heat across the cooking grill area. The natural food juices
produced during cooking fall onto the hot vapour bar below and vapourise. Even cooking of food will
be achieved by using the barbecue with the hood down. This should only be done with the burner
on low.
Flare-Up Control
IMPORTANT – FLARE UPS CAN OCCUR FROM RESIDUE FAT AND JUICES DRIPPING ONTO
THE BURNERS AND HOT VAPOUR BAR. To reduce this regularly clean the burners and vapour
bar. To control flare-up, it is advisable to trim away excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling.
The burners should always be placed on the low setting during cooking. Always protect your hands
when handling anything near cooking surface of the barbecue.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the ‘high’ position and burn for 5 minutes.
This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
• When you have finished using your barbecue, turn all control valves fully clockwise to the ‘Off’
position, and then switch off the gas at the bottle. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before
closing the hood.
