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 19. 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)
•
Main Burners - 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 control knob in on the burner you wish
to light and turn it to the high position. Push and hold in the igniter button in the centre of the control
panel for 4 to 5 seconds to light the burner. Light all other burners in the same way making sure each
burner is alight before attempting to light the next. IF ANY BURNER FAILS TO LIGHT, TURN OFF THE
GAS AT THE BURNERS AND THE BOTTLE, WAIT 5 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN. If the burners cannot
be lit using the ignition system, turn to the manual lighting instructions on page.20.
•
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 grills 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 in and turn it to the
high position. Push and hold in the igniter button in the centre of the control panel for 4 to 5 seconds to
light the burner. IF THE BURNER FAILS TO LIGHT, TURN OFF THE GAS AT THE BURNER, WAIT 5
MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN. If the burner cannot be lit using the ignition system, turn to the manual
lighting instructions on page.20.
•
Back (Rotisserie) Burner– From off position, push in and turn the back burner control knob anti-clockwise
to high position. Push and hold in the igniter button in the centre of the control panel for 4 to 5 seconds to
light the burner. IF THE BURNER FAILS TO LIGHT, TURN OFF THE GAS AT THE BURNER, WAIT 5
MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN. If the burner cannot be lit using the ignition system, turn to the manual
lighting instructions on P.20. WARNING: The main burners must never be used while using the back
burner. This could result in overheating the barbecue or starting a fat fire.
•
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 grills in a dishwasher due to their weight.
