7.2. 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.
7.3. Connecting a Gas Hose to the Barbecue
Connect the gas hose to the gas rail inlet on the left
hand side of the barbecue. Do not overtighten. Do not
use any sealing tape, paste or liquid on the
connection.
7.4. 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.
8. Operation
8.1.
Warnings
Before proceeding, make certain that
you
understand the
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
section of this manual.
Your barbecue is not designed to be used with
more than 50% of 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.
Only use cookware with a base diameter of
between 120mm and 220mm on the side burner.
8.2. 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.) During use, the protective
coating may come off the cooking surface. This is
normal and is not harmful.
Line the drip pan with aluminium foil. This will absorb
excess cooking fat, thus making cleanup easy.
8.3. Lighting the Main Barbecue & Side Burner
(using the Integra-Spark Ignition System)
Open the barbecue hood or lid before lighting.
Never light your barbecue with the hood or lid
closed.
Ensure all knobs are in the off (“O”) position. Open
the gas control valve on the gas bottle or regulator.
Push the control knob of the burner you wish to
light 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 4-
5 times until the burner is lit.
Ignite any of the remaining burners in any order, as
needed. Confirm each burner is alight before
igniting another burner.
If burner fails to ignite after following above
procedure, turn all the knobs to the off (“O”)
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 to the
manual ignition instructions below.
After ignition, turn the burners to the “MAX” position
for 3-5 minutes in order to pre-heat the barbecue.
This should be done before each cooking session.
The hood or lid should be open during preheating.
After completion of preheating, turn all burners to
the low position for best cooking results.
8.4. Manual Ignition Instructions
Open the barbecue hood or lid before lighting.
Never light your barbecue with the hood or lid
closed.
Ensure all knobs are in the off (“O”) position. Open
the gas control valve on the gas bottle or regulator.
Locate the lighting rod (hanging behind the left or
right side shelf).
Insert a match into the end of the lighting rod, light
match and insert into the firebox hole to ignite (see
below pictures).
Push and turn the knob for the burner nearest this
firebox hole
to the “MAX” position, taking care to
protect yourself from the flames. Ensure the lit
burner remains alight when you let go of the control
knob.
When the first burner is lit, ignite the remaining
burners.
Confirm that each burner is alight before turning on
the next burner.
If a burner fails to ignite, contact your local dealer
for assistance.
After ignition, turn the burners to the “MAX” position
for 3-5 minutes in order to pre-heat the barbecue.
This should be done before each cooking session.
The hood or lid should be open during preheating.
After completion of preheating, turn all burners to
the low position for best cooking results.
