panel located on the front of the barbecue body by pulling off the
knobs and removing all retaining screws. Open the gas control valve
on the cylinder. Check for leaks by brushing a solution of ½ water
and ½ soap over all gas system joints, including all valve, hose, 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.

Operation
Warning!
Before proceeding, be certain you understand the safety
information contained in this manual.
This barbecue is not designed to be used with more than
66% of the cooking area as a solid plate. Full coverage of
plates will cause excessive build-up of heat and damage
the barbecue.
Note!
Before using the barbecue for the first time, the barbecue
must be lit and burning for 30 minutes on the “low” setting.
Important!
The regulator supplied with this BBQ may incorporate an
Excess Flow Control Safety Device. The Excess Flow Control will
activate to prevent gas flow should a regulator malfunction occur. It
is important that the BBQ operator understands that all gas valves
on the BBQ are closed in the OFF position prior to opening the
gas cylinder valve. If the BBQ valves are open prior to opening the
cylinder valve, the Excess Flow Control will be activated and prevent
the BBQ from being lit. To reset, close the BBQ valves and gas
cylinder valve, wait for 1 minute and use correct lighting procedure
as detailed below.
PREPARATION BEFORE COOKING
To prevent food from sticking to the cookware, please use a long
handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil
before each barbecuing session.
USING THE ROTARY IGNITION
1. Turn all knobs to “OFF” then open the LP tank valve. Always
keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when
lighting
2. Open hood during lighting.
3. The valves fitted to this BBQ include a safety feature. The
valves must be depressed first before turning anti-clockwise.
This feature stops an accidental activation of the knob.
4. Push in and turn any gas knob in an anti-clockwise direction to
the high position. This activates the ignition, repeat step 4, 3-4
times until burner is lit. If the burner does not light immediately,
turn the gas control knob to the off position and wait one
minute for any accumulated gas to clear off the grill.
5. Once the burner is lit, simply light the remaining burners.
6. The “low” position is obtained by turning the knob fully
anti-clockwise.
7. Adjust the control knobs to your heat requirements.
Important!
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply
valve and check the connections before each use.
Warning!
1. Do not light the grill if odour of gas is present.
2. It is important to ensure that all control valves, including
the gas cylinder, are turned off after use.
For manual ignition

hole at the right end of the barbecue. (Fig.1)
2. Turn the right hand gas control knob to the high position. The
burner will light from the match.
3. Once the right burner is lit, the burner next to it can be turned on
and will light off the lit burner. Repeat until all burners are alight.
Each burner can be adjusted to provide a low setting by turning the
gas control to the “low” position.
