burners.

HOOD ROASTING - WARNING
BBQ’s equipped with a roasting hood give the option of cooking with the hood
closed to form an‘oven’ for roasting food, such as a joint of meat, whole chickens,
etc. When the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped inside the BBQ.
Thus, it is important to make sure that the burner is turned to the low position to
prevent burning of the food and damage to the BBQ.
Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat will be lost every time the hood is
opened.
FLARE UP CONTROL
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecuing on the grill and the juices fall on the hot
vaporiser/ame tamer plate and vaporise.
The smoke from some are-up helps to give the meat its BBQ avour, but excessive
are-up will result in the meat being burned and becoming bitter.
To control excessive are-up, it is advisable to trim excessive fat from meat and
poultry before grilling; to control it further, the burners can be turned to the low
setting.
Finally, extinguish excessive are-ups by applying a small amount of baking soda
directly onto the vaporiser / ame tamer plate.
Always protect your hands when handling anything near the BBQ cooking surface.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BBQ TO OVERHEAT.
FLASHBACK (FLAME IN BURNER TUBE)
In the event of ash back whilst the BBQ is in use, turn all the controls and the
cylinder valve to the ‘OFF’ position.
Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the BBQ.
If the problem persists, check for blocked ventury ports by removing the burner and
cleaning with compressed air or with a pipe cleaner.
Replace burner correctly.
If problem persists do not try to rectify the problem yourself as this could result in
serious injury and/or property damage.
Store the appliance in a clean and dry environment.
Do not store your gas cylinder indoors.
Store in a well ventilated area away from direct sunlight or an electrical source.
Light the burners in the same method, in order from left right.
The burner will cross-ignite rom the burner to it’s left.
Adjust to the required heat setting.

END OF COOKING OPERATION
After each cooking session, turn the BBQ burners to the HIGH position and burn for
5 minutes.
This procedure will burn ocooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.
The lid must be oor the hood open during this procedure.
Turning oyour BBQ.
When you have nished using your BBQ, turn othe gas at the cylinder, and then
ensure that all the control valves are turned to the OFF position in sequence starting
from the left hand and moving to the right hand side of the unit.
Wait until the BBQ is suciently cool before closing it’s hood or lid.
MAINTENANCE AND CARE
As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. Your new gas BBQ is no exception.
By following these cleaning procedures on a regular basis, your BBQ will remain
clean and in good working order with the minimum of eort.
BEWARE OF SPIDERS AND WASPS. BURNER TUBES SHOULD BE
INSPECTED AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY!
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes
during warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to a gas ow obstruction
which could result in a re in and around the burner tubes.
This type of re is known as FLASH-BACK and can cause serious damage to your BBQ
and create an unsafe operating environment for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of FLASH-BACK it is the
most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is
necessary.
To reduce the chance of FLASH-BACK , the procedure listed below should be
followed at least once a month in late summer or early autumn when spiders are
most active, or when your BBQ has not been used for an extended period of time.
All cleaning and maintenance should be carried out when the BBQ
is cool and with the gas supply turned OFF at the gas cylinder.
8

BURNER TUBE CLEANING
Follow the procedure that is most convenient for you:
1. Use a small bottle brush with a exible handle.
Run the brush up through each venturi tube and into the burner several times.
2. Lay the burners down with the venturi tubes facing up, and force water through
them.
At this time, observe each burner port. Make sure water comes out of every hole.
If not, clean the burners as follows
BURNER CLEANING
Regardless of which venturi cleaning procedure you used, we recommend that you
complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Scrub the entire outer surface of the burner with a non-metallic scouring pad to
remove any loose corrosion.
2. Clean any clogged holes with a stipiece of wire (for example: an open paper
clip).
3. Inspect the burner assembly for any opening caused by corrosion.
4. If any openings due to corrosion are found, replace the burner.
5. Replace the burner and spring as described in the assembly instructions.
6. Check the burner for proper location/seating after replacement.
7. Ensure that the valve orices are inside the burner tube
VERY IMPORTANT
The location of burner with respect to the orice is vital to safe operation.
Check to ensure the valve orices are inside of the burner tubes before using your
gas BBQ (See Rotary piezo ignitor diagram).
If the burner tubes (venturi) are not tted over the valve orices and you start
lighting the burners, an explosion and or re might occur.

CLEANING THE GRIDS
After cooking, turn the burner control to “OFF”and let the BBQ cool before
attempting to clean your grill plates.
Before rst use - as well as periodically - we suggest that you wash the grids in a mild
soap and warm water solution.
You can use a wash cloth, a vegetable brush, or non-metallic scouring pad to clean
your grids.
CLEANING THE FLAME TAMER
Washing the ame tamers after every use is not necessary but we suggest that you
frequently wash the ame tamer in a soap and warm water solution.
Use a non-metallic brush/scourer to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue.
Dry the ame tamer thoroughly before you reinstall it in the cooking body.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and washed in a mild
detergent and warm water solution.
A level layer of clean dry sand should be placed in the bottom of the sand tray to
absorb the grease. Lining the tray with aluminium foil before use will aid in cleaning.
ANNUAL CLEANING OF BBQ HOUSING
Burning-othe grill after cooking will keep it ready for instant use, however, once a
year you should give the entire BBQ a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating
condition.
1. Turn the burner controls to the“OFF” position.
2. Turn the cylinder valve ofully.
3. Detach the regulator assembly from cylinder valve by turning the quick coupling
nut.
4. Remove and clean (as explained above) the grids, ame tamer and burners.
5. Cover the gas valve orices with aluminium foil.
6. Brush the inside and bottom of the BBQ with a cleaning brush, and wash down
with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove aluminium foil from orices and check orices for obstruction.
8. Check spark electrode, adjusting it as instructed. Electrode tip pointing toward
the tip of gas collector and approximately 5 mm from the tip of collector box.
9. Replace burners. Adjust spark electrode collector box.
10. Replace ame tamer, grids and warming rack.
11. Re-connect to gas supply.
10

VISUALLY CHECKING BURNER FLAMES
Occasionally observe burner ame for correct operation. See diagram below.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
In order to preserve the stainless steel on your BBQ, we suggest applying a thin lm
of baby oil to the stainless steel body components of your BBQ on a regular basis.
This is especially important at the coast. Once applied, you can wipe all excess baby
oil residue owith a clean cloth. NEVER USE OVEN CLEANER
