4.  When re-lighting allow five minutes to get previous unburnt 

gases out.

5.  Once burner is lit, select the correct setting for your food.

NOTE!

If the burner should go out for any reason, turn the control knob 
to “OFF” position. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.

If the grill fails to light after the second attempt, check with your 
local dealer for assistance.
With the burner lit, gently close lid and allow the grill to warm up.

IMPORTANT 

Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive 
noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check to see if air 
shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, 
etc. If you have any questions regarding flame stability, please 
call customer service.

To adjust for proper flame, use a screw driver to loosen screw. Turn 
clockwise to close air shutter, and counter clockwise to open. After 
adjusting, tighten screw to fix air shutter.

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, call our 

service centre.

2.  It is important to ensure that all control valves, including the 

gas cylinder, are turned off after use.

USING THE LIGHTING ROD

Check to be sure all openings into grill body are free of blockages 
or debris. Make sure there are no objects or materials blocking 
the flow of combustion or ventilation. Make sure the feet are in the 
down position when using the grill.
1.  Use the lighting rod located on the left side of your table top 

grill. See the following figure.

2.  Attach the match to the front end of the lighting rod, light

TRANSPORTING GRILL

Make sure gas control is off and grill has cooled for at least 30 
minutes. Disconnect cylinder from regulator. Remove valve & 
regulator from grill. Close lid and secure latch. Place feet in closed 
position. Carry grill by handle.
 

NOTE!

It is best to leave the grease pan in place attached to the bottom 
of the grill – some grease may continue to drop from the grill 
during transport.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE!
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 barbecuing session.

1.  Allow grill to warm up with lid closed prior to cooking. Cook 

with lid open

2.  This grill model is quipped with an adjustable HIGH/MED/LOW 

burner control. This allows for complete flexibility in cooking 
temperatures. 
HIGH setting has a cooking temperature of approximately 230 
degrees C. 
MED is approximately 200 degrees C. 
LOW is approximately 175 degrees C.

3.  The cooking times we suggest are only that – suggestions. You 

may want to vary the times as you become used to your grill.

4.  You may cook on the grill in any weather. If the temperature is 

extremely cold or hot, it will slightly increase or decrease your 
cooling times. Keep grill out of excessive wind when operating, 
as it may increase cooking times.

GRILLING

1.  T-Bone Steak, thick medium: grill 10 minutes on each side at 

MED setting.

2.  Chicken Quarters, average size fryer: Cook skin side up for 

30 minutes, skin side down for 30 minutes at MED setting. 
Check for doneness. If chicken is completely done, only then 
drip or brush on sauce of your choice. Put back on grill for 
approximately 10 minutes longer. You may want to repeat this 
process one or two more times.

3.  Pork ribs and pork chops; grill 10-20 minutes each side, MED 

setting. When done, drip or brush on sauce. Put back on grill 
for 5-10 minutes. Repeat if desired.

NOTE! 
Above times are a guide only and are not for frozen meats. 
Frozen food should be thawed correctly prior to cooking.

ROASTING HOOD COOKING

Barbecues 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 barbecue. 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 barbecue. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as 
heat is lost every time the hood is opened. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR 
BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT. A BARBECUE SHOULD NEVER BE 
LEFT UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING!

FLARE-UP CONTROL

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fats and juices fall 
upon the burner. The smoke from some flare-up helps give cooked 
meat its barbecued 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 directly onto the 
area. Always protect your hands when handling anything near the 
cooking surface of the barbecue.
If a fat fire should occur in the drip tray, turn the knob to the off 
position, turn off the gas at the bottle, and wait for the fire to go out. 
Do not pull out the drip tray or 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 BARBECUE

When you have finished using your barbecue, turn off the gas at the 
bottle and turn all the control valve fully to the “OFF” position. Wait 
until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing its hood. Once 
cooled, a protective cover* should always be fitted to the barbecue 
to protect your investment from the elements when not in use.
*Optional extra: 558843 - Barbecue cover

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

There is very little care and maintenance needed. The grill is 
designed and made of materials that will last many years with 
normal use. Following these instructions will improve the longevity 
and quality of cooking. To ensure safe operation of your grill, the  
cooking area should always be kept free of combustible materials of 
any type, such as gasoline or other flammable vapours or liquids.
1.  Outside of body – This is stainless steel. It can be cleaned 

easily with warm soapy water or any stainless steel cleaner.

2.  Grid and drip pan – The grid is made of high quality stainless 

steel. The grid should be brushed with a brass or stainless steel 
brush immediately after removing food, while grill is still warm. 
The drip pan must be kept clean and free of heavy build-up 
for grill to perform properly and to eliminate flare-ups. Drip pan 
should be washed completely clean.

3.  Inside grill – use soapy water to clean this area. Do not allow 

grease to build up.

4.  Drain pipe – Drain pipe must be kept clear of grease and food 

particles to allow grease to drain properly from drip pan. This 
must be done to maintain proper operation of your grill.

5.  General, This grill, like all equipment, will look better and last 

longer if kept out of weather when not in use. Caution: Do not 
store gas cylinders in enclosed spaces. When moving the grill; 
always wait until grill has cooled for at least 30 minutes.

6.  When grill is not in use, turn valve knob to “OFF”, remove the 

gas cylinder from regulator. If the grill is stored indoors, detach 
cylinder and leave it outdoors. Cylinders must be stored out of 
reach of children.

Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially 
after extended periods of storage. Ensure the barbecue and its 
components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Do not leave the 
barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, 
moist areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
• Check that burners are extinguished before disconnecting the gas 
cylinder.
• Check the gas cylinder is empty before removing it.
• Change the gas container outside and away from people.
• Check the seal visually, before connecting a new gas container to 
the appliance.
Whilst our products are made to the highest standards and all care 
is taken to make them as weather proof as possible, we cannot 
accept responsibility for rust occurring on exposed metal parts 
unless this is a result of faulty manufacture or parts.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your 
barbecue, we strongly recommend that the unit is covered when 
not in use, especially during the winter months.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE AND CLEANING ADVICE

Cleanliness and stainless steel are closely related. Stainless steel 
performs best when clean - cleanliness is essential for maximum 
resistance to corrosion and to maintain the good looks and life of 
your BBQ.

TYPES OF SURFACE CONTAMINANTS
Fingerprints and Stains

Fingerprints and mild stains resulting from normal use are the most 
common surface contaminates. They can be removed with a glass 
cleaner or with a soft rag. This should be followed by a thorough 
warm water rinse.

Dirt

Like any surface that is exposed to the environment especially in 
coastal areas, stainless steel can get dirty. Cleaning with warm 
water with or without a gentle detergent is sufficient. Next in 
order are mild non-scratching abrasive powders such as typical 
household cleaners. These can be used with warm water, bristle 
brushes, sponges, or clean cloths. Carbon steel brushes or steel 
wool should be avoided as they may leave particles embedded on 
the surface which can lead to RUSTING. Cleaning should always be 
followed by rinsing in clean hot water.

Grease

Grease may soil stainless steel surfaces in food preparation. These 
soils may be mildly corrosive if left or may not allow the surface 
to maintain passivity, and so regular removal is a necessity for the 
appearance.

TYPES OF CLEANERS AND METHODS

Consider the possibility of scratching and the potential for post-
cleaning corrosion caused by incompletely removed cleaners. Avoid 
using abrasive cleaners unless absolutely necessary.

Clean Water and Wipe

A soft cloth and clean warm water should always be the first choice 
for mild stains and loose dirt and soils. A final rinse with clean 
water and a dry wipe will complete the process and eliminate the 
possibility of water stains.

Household Cleaners

Household cleaners fall into two categories: detergent (non-
abrasive) and abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners are more 
effective but introduce the possibility of scratching the surface. A
