ESSENTIAL INFORMATION
Please read instructions before using your barbecue.
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR BARBECUE (also see installation)
•
Perform a leak test. This is the only safe and sure way to detect any gas leaking from joints and
connections of the barbecue after assembly. Follow the leak test instructions on page 15. Check that the
gas hose is free of any tension, twisting, cuts, or cracks.
•
Make sure your barbecue is in a safe place. It must be outdoors, on level ground and not below ground
level. Ensure that the barbecue is at least 1 metre away from any flammable materials, including trees
and fences and that there are no heat sources near the barbecue (cigarettes, open flames, spark etc.)
•
Check that you have the correct gas bottle and regulator for your barbecue. Never place the gas bottle
inside the trolley cabinet.
GETTING STARTED (also see operation)
•
Open the hood of your barbecue. Never light your barbecue with the hood closed. Turn the gas regulator
or gas bottle valve to the ‘on’ position. Push the leftmost control knob and turn it to the high position.
Press the ignition button in the left of control panel rapidly several times until the leftmost burner is lit. If
burner fails to ignite, turn control knob to the off position and turn gas off at the bottle or regulator. Wait
five minutes, then repeat the above steps. After successful lighting, light the remaining burners from left
to right, make sure each burner is alight before attempting to light the next. If the burner fails to ignite
after following above procedure, turn all the knobs to the off position. Close the gas valve on the gas
bottle. Wait 5 minutes, then repeat the above steps. If the barbecue still fails to light, please refer to the
manual ignition instructions on page 16.
•
Once the burners are lit, turn all the main burners to the high setting for 3-5 minutes to pre-heat the
barbecue. This should be done before each session. When pre-heating is complete, cooking can begin,
taking extra care if the burners are used in the high position.
•
To prevent food sticking, we recommend that you use a long handled brush to apply a light coat of
cooking oil to the grill and griddle before each barbecue session.
•
Side Burner - Open the lid of the side burner. Never light the side burner with the lid closed. Turn the gas
regulator or gas bottle valve to the ‘on’ position. Push the side burner control knob and turn it to the high
position. Press the ignition button in side burner shelf panel rapidly several times to light the burner. If the
burner fails to ignite after following above procedure, turn the side burner knob to the off position. Close
the gas valve on the gas bottle. Wait 5 minutes, then repeat the above steps. If the burner still fails to
light, please refer to the manual ignition instructions on page 16.
•
If a fat fire should occur during cooking, and if safe to do so, turn off the burners and the gas at the bottle
and wait for the fire to go out. Do not pull out the drip tray or douse with water.
•
Never douse a barbecue with water.
•
Never move a barbecue when lit.
•
Never leave a lit barbecue unattended
•
Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands
•
Keep children, animals, and elderly people a safe distance from a lit barbecue.
WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED COOKING (also see care and maintenance)
•
Turn all the main burners to the high position for 3 to 5 minutes to burn off any food residue from the
cooking surfaces and burners. When the barbecue has cooled, the burnt residue can be easily removed
using a damp, non abrasive cloth on the cooking surfaces and a brass wire brush on the burners and
flame tamers. We do not recommend putting grill and griddle in a dishwasher due to their weight.
•
When the barbecue has cooled, scrape away any food and fat residue from the drip tray and discard.
These routines must be completed after each session.
