Location of your Barbecue
DO NOT use your barbecue in garages, porches, sheds,
breezeways, or other enclosed areas. Your barbecue is to
be used OUTDOORS. The barbecue is not intended to be
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats and
should not be placed under any surface that will burn. Do
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air
around the barbecue housing.
Protect Children
Keep children away from barbecue during use and until
barbecue has cooled after you have finished. Do not
allow children to operate barbecue.
Always ensure that no sporting or physical activities are
carried out in close proximity to the barbecue during use
and while still hot.
Tools You Will Need
Adjustable spanner, Phillips head screwdriver.
Check Barbecue for any Damage
Inspect barbecue parts as you proceed. Contact your
supplier for assistance regarding replacement of any
damaged or missing parts. Do not assemble or operate a
barbecue that appears damaged. Barbecues for use with
gas cylinders are labelled ‘Propane Gas’ or ‘Universal
L.P.G’. Check labelling at the gas connection on your
barbecue.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance
will keep them in top operating condition and prolong
their life. Your new gas barbecue is no exception. By
following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis,
your barbecue will be kept clean and working properly
with minimum effort.
Flash-Back
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or
make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and
transit. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction
which could result in a fire in and around the burner
tubes. Cleaning with a soft brush before use and at
least every six months is recommended.
This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can
cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an
unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an
obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASH-
BACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent
inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.
If fire occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn
off gas at its source and turn the burner control to ‘OFF’,
wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner
tubes and burner ports.
Cleaning the Cooking Surface
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean the cooking
surface. Before first use and periodically, it is suggested
that you wash the cooking surface in a mild soap and
warm water solution.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not
use pans on the cooking surface. Do not overheat the
cooking surface with the hood down or no food on the
cooking surface.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue
remove and empty the drip tray after each use. Wait
until the drip tray is cool to touch before disposing of
contents.
The drip tray should be washed periodically in a mild
detergent and warm water solution.
IMPORTANT
• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube
should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
• This appliance must only be serviced by an
authorised person.
• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended that
the drip tray be checked and emptied regularly.
Contents of the drip tray may be very hot during
cooking. If emptied during extended cooking
extreme caution should be taken and direct
contact by hand should be avoided at all times.
Allow to cool completely before disposing of the
contents.
