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. 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 meter 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 (see recommendations in the
Gas and Regulator section of this manual) and that the gas bottle is placed correctly in the gas bottle
holder provided. Never place the gas bottle directly underneath the barbecue.
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 in the control knob of the burner you want to light and turn it anti
clockwise until resistance is met. Wait 4 seconds and then continue turning the control knob until a click is
heard. If the burner does not light, turn of the gas by pushing and holding in the control knob at the High
position and turning to “Off”. The lighting sequence can then be repeated 4-5 times until the burner is lit.
Ignite any of the remaining burners in any order, as needed. Confirm each burner is lit before igniting another
burner. If any burner fails to ignite after following the above procedure, turn all the knobs to the “Off” position.
Shut the gas off at the gas bottle or regulator. Wait 5 minutes before reattempting the above lighting
procedure. If the barbecue still fails to light, please refer to the manual lighting instructions.
•
Once the burners are lit, turn all the 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 and griddles 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.
•
If a fat fire should occur during cooking, and if safe to do so, turn off the burners and the gas at the gas 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 Maintenance)
•
Turn all the 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 removed from the grills,
griddle and flame tamers using a plastic scraper or plastic scouring pad. A brass wire brush can be used
on the burners.
•
When the barbecue has cooled, scrape away any food and fat residue from the drip tray and discard.
Empty and clean the Foil Liner. These routines must be completed after each session.
STORAGE
•
Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled.
•
Always disconnect the gas bottle and store it in a safe place, never store a gas bottle indoors or on its side.
•
Store the barbecue in a cool dry place. The detachable side shelf can be removed to save space during
storage.
