7. Installation
7.1 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!
7.2 Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body.
Mount cylinder onto cylinder hook by slipping the
cylinder hook through the cylinder collar.
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.
7.3 Connecting a Gas Hose to the Barbecue
Connect the gas hose to the gas rail inlet on the
left hand side of the barbecue. Do not
overtighten. Do not use any sealing tape, paste
or liquid on the connection.
7.4 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.
8. Operation
8.1 Warnings
Before proceeding, make certain that you
understand the
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
section of this manual.
The regulator supplied with this BBQ is
equipped with a safety mechanism
called an Excess flow valve. To avoid
tripping this device, which will prevent
full gas requirement reaching the BBQ,
it is vital that following actions are
taken prior to igniting the BBQ ;
1, Prior to opening the gas cylinder
valve, make sure all BBQ control valves
are in the “off” position.
2, Next open the gas cylinder valve ,
opening the first half turn slowly before,
then opening the gas tap fully .
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.
WARNING: This BBQ must never be left
unattended when it is lit and in use.
8.2 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 and is not harmful.
Line the drip tray with aluminium foil, then place
a uniform layer of clean, dry sand, or even better
an absorbent material like kitty litter 1cm deep
into the tray. This will absorb excess cooking fat,
thus making cleanup easy.

Open the barbecue and side burner hood or
lid before lighting. Never light your barbecue
