Hand-tighten the regulator supplied with this barbeque to the gas
cylinder by screwing in an anti-clockwise direction.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
As the regulator is fitted with a soft nose, it should only be tightened
a further 1/4 turn after resistance is first felt.
LEAK TESTING
Note!
Perform in a well-ventilated area
Confirm the control knob is in the off position. 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 barbeque.
Please contact your local dealer for assistance.
LEAK TEST ANNUALLY AND WHENEVER THE GAS BOTTLE IS
REMOVED, OR REPLACED.
Operation
Warning!
Before proceeding, be certain you understand the safety
information contained in this manual
This barbeque 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
barbeque
Important!
The regulator supplied with this BBQ incorporates 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 foods from sticking to the cookware, please use a long
handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil
before each barbequing session.
USING THE ROTARY IGNITION
1. Read instructions before lighting.
2.
Turn knob to “OFF” then open the LP tank valve. Always
keep your face and body as far from the grill as possible when
lighting.
3.
Open hood during lighting.
4.
Push in and turn the gas knob in an anti-clockwise direction to
the hi position. 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. The lo position is obtained by turning the knob fully anti-
clockwise.
6.
Adjusting the control knob to your heat requirements can now
control the flame.
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 the control valve,
including the gas cylinder, are turned off after use.
For manual ignition
1. Light a 90mm barbeque match and hold match with flame
passing through access hole in the grill body by the ignition.
2. Turn the gas control knob to the hi position. The burner will light
from the match.
GRILL COOKING
The burner heats up the grill, which in turn heats the food on the
grill.
ROASTING HOOD COOKING
Barbeques equipped with a roasting hood give the option of
cooking with hood closed to form an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such
as joints of meat, whole chickens, etc.
Warning!
Cooking with the hood closed and the burner on high creates a fire
risk.
When the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped
inside the barbeque. Thus, it is IMPORTANT to make sure
that the burner is turned to the low position to prevent burning
of the food and damaging the barbeque. Avoid lifting the hood
unnecessarily as heat is lost every time the hood is opened. DO
NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBEQUE TO OVERHEAT. A BARBEQUE
SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING!
FLARE-UP CONTROL
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbequed, and its fats and juices fall
upon the burner. The smoke from some flare-up helps give cooked
meat its barbequed flavour, but excessive flare-up will result in
meat being burned. To control flare-up, it is advisable to trim away
excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. Also, the burner
should always be placed on the low setting during cooking. Finally,
extinguish flare-up by applying baking soda or salt. Always protect
your hands when handling anything near the cooking surface of the
barbeque.
If a fat fire should occur in the grill body, turn knob to the off
position, turn off the gas at the bottle, and wait for the fire to go out.
Do not douse with water.
END OF THE COOKING SESSION
After each cooking session, turn the BBQ burner to the “HIGH”
position and burn off for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off food
residue, thus making cleaning easier.
TURNING OFF YOUR BARBEQUE
When you have finished using your barbeque, turn off the gas at
the bottle and turn the control valve fully clockwise to the “OFF”
position. Wait until the barbeque is sufficiently cool before closing its
hood.
Care and Maintenance
Regularly clean your barbeque between uses and especially
after extended periods of storage. Ensure the barbeque and its
components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Do not leave
the barbeque exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in
