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
the
barbecue must be used on an incombustible floor.
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.
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.
Leak Testing
(Always perform a leak test in a well-ventilated area)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position. Turn the gas on
/ open the gas control valve on the gas bottle or regulator. Check
for leaks by brushing a solution of ½ water and ½ liquid detergent
/ soap over all the gas system joints, including gas bottle valve
connections, hose connections, and regulator connections. NEVER
USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at any time. If bubbles form
over any of the joints there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply at the
gas bottle. Retighten all joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form again
do not use the barbecue and contact your local distributor for
assistance. Always wipe the mixed solution (½ water and ½ liquid
detergent / soap) from all joints and connections after leak testing.

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.) During use, the protective coating
may come off the cooking surface. This is normal an is not harmful.
Line the drip pan with aluminium foil. This will make cleanup easy.
