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.
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.
Connecting a Gas Hose to the Barbecue
Warm the end of the hose in hot water for 2
minutes. Ensure the jubilee clip is on the hose,
and then push the hose all the way onto the
outlet of the gas valve. Using a screwdriver turn
the retaining screw to tighten the jubilee clip.
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 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.)
Lighting the Barbecue
Open the barbecue hood or lid before
lighting. Never light your barbecue with the
hood or lid closed.
Ensure knob is in the off position. Open the
gas control valve on the gas bottle or
regulator.
Push the control knob in and turn it anti-
clockwise until you feel resistance to the
turning. Pause 4 seconds, then continue
turning the control knob until a click is heard
and the burner is lit. Repeat previous step
several times until the burner is lit.
If burner fails to ignite after following above
procedure, turn the knob to the off position.
Close the gas valve on the gas bottle. Wait
5 minutes. Reattempt all of the above steps.
If the barbecue still fails to light, please refer

After ignition, turn the burner to the low
position for 3-5 minutes in order to pre-heat

After completion of preheating, keep the
burner at the low position for best cooking
results.
