1 or local regulation, and the length should
not exceed 1.5 metres.
The regulator included with this barbecue
complies with EN16129. YOU MUST HAVE
THE PROPER REGULATOR AND GAS
BOTTLE IN ORDER FOR THE BARBECUE TO
OPERATE SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. USE
OF AN INCORRECT OR FAULTY
REGULATOR OR GAS BOTTLE IS
DANGEROUS AND WILL INVALIDATE ANY
WARRANTY. In the case of replacing your
original hose and regulator, please consult your
local gas dealer for the most suitable regulators
and gas bottles.
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 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!
Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body.
(Gas Grill Only) 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.
The casters should always have the brakes on
when the barbecue is in use.
(Charcoal Grill Only) The charcoal grill is not
designed to be used with lump wood charcoal,
including lump wood based lighting bags, as it
burns too quickly. We recommend the use of
charcoal briquettes. Use only enough briquettes
to coverthe charcoal grid in a single layer. Do
not overload the charcoal grid. The Maximum
amountof briquettes to be used at any one time
is 2.5kg. When placing the charcoal, never
allow charcoal to be closerthan 5cm to the
surrounding sides of the barbecue body.
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.
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.
Operation
Warnings
Before proceeding, make certain that you
understand
the
IMPORTANT
INFORMATION section of this manual.
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.
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.)
Line the drip tray with aluminium foil, then
place a uniform layer of clean, dry sand 6-8mm
deep into the tray. This will absorb excess
cooking fat, thus making cleanup easy.
Lighting the Barbecue (For Gas Grill Users
Only)
Open the barbecue hood before lighting.
Never light your barbecue with the hood
closed.
Ensure all knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the gas bottle
or regulator.
Push and turn the control knob of the
leftmost burner to the high position. Press
the ignition button rapidly several times until
