Partial Enclosures (Australia Only)
This appliance shall only be used in an above ground, open air situation with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural
convection. Any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:
Locating Your Barbecue And Side Burner
Most importantly, this is an outdoor appliance. Ensure it is positioned safely away from anything that
can catch fire.
Indoor Use Only: Under no circumstances is this side burner to be used indoors. This includes garages or any
other enclosed area.
Clearance From Combustibles: Ensure the side burner remains at a distance of at least 45 cm (18”) from
any combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do not store combustible materials,
gasoline or flammable liquids or vapours within 45 cm (18”) of the appliance.
Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for the appliance and cylinder. This is required not
only for proper combustion, but also to prevent gas build up.
Firm Level Surface: Use your barbecue only on a firm level surface. This appliance is not designed for
recreational vehicles, and shall not be installed on a boat or any marine craft.
Protection From Weather: Keep the side burner protected from adverse weather, including rain and high
winds. Polyvinyl covers are available that have been specially designed for this range of barbecues.
Allow clear access to the entire gas supply hose and regulator.
Maintenance Access: When your side burner is installed, you should be able to access the gas supply line
including the gas piping or hose, gas regulator, gas cylinder and any shut off valves.
Partial Enclosures: Many backyards have areas that are partially closed off, such as balconies and pergolas. In
some cases, it is hard to decide whether these partially enclosed areas should be classified as indoor areas,
particularly in terms of permanent (non-closable) ventilation. The gas safety authorities have agreed on the
definition of partial enclosures below.
Any enclosure with walls
on all sides, but at least
one permanent opening
at ground level, and no
overhead cover.
Within a partial
enclosure that includes
an overhead cover and
no more than two walls.
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead
cover and more than two walls, the following shall apply:
At least 25% of the total wall area is completely
open; and
at least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and
unrestricted.
In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total of the
side, back and front wall areas shall be and remain open
and unrestricted.

Place the trivet on the body of the side burner.
The small notches underneath the trivet should
sit neatly in the holes in the steel, as shown.
Assembly And Gas Connection Instructions
Attach your side burner to your barbecue trolley as
explained in the separate barbecue/trolley instructions.
Assembly
Temporarily Remove The
Drip Plate
In order to properly connect the hoses to the
side burner, you may find it easier to remove the
drip plate from underneath the side burner.
Simply undo the screw at the front of the side
burner as shown, and then ease the rear drip
plate tabs from the side burner body.
You now have clear access to the side burner
inlets.
Attach The Trivet
Before beginning installation or assembly, check that the gas type which the
barbecue and side burner are designed for is correct for the gas available
to you. In most countries the choices are natural gas or LPG/propane. You
will find the gas type label on the side of your barbecue. If your barbecue
uses the incorrect gas type, or if you are unsure, consult your dealer before
going any further. Using the wrong type of gas for a barbecue is extremely
dangerous.
Natural Gas Conversion: Most newly purchased barbecues are made for
LPG/propane. A natural gas conversion kit is available to allow your barbecue
to run on natural gas. NOTE: gas conversion must be carried out by an
authorised BeefEater service agent or licensed gas fitter.

Ensure all gas controls on the barbecue and side burner are set to
OFF.
Attach the gas supply hose to the right side inlet of the side burner.
If the gas supply hose is not already attached to the gas supply, then
attach it now.
If your barbecue came with a cabinet trolley/cart, your gas supply
hose may already be attached to a portable gas cylinder located
inside the cabinet. In this case, simply
pass the free end of the hose through
the hose access hole in the side of
the cart prior to connecting to the side
burner inlet.
Using two spanners, tighten all gas
connections. Do not overtighten.
Connection To Gas Supply
Connection to Barbecue
Ensure all gas controls on the barbecue and
side burner are set to OFF.
Take the connector hose that came with the
side burner. Connect one end to the inlet of
the barbecue. Connect the other end to the
left side gas connection point of the side
burner.
If your barbecue came with a cabinet trolley/
cart, your connector hose should already be
attached to the barbecue inlet (as indicated by the
separate cart instructions). In this case, simply pass
the free end of the hose through the hose access hole
in the side of the cart prior to connecting to the side
burner inlet.
Replace The Drip Plate
Push the rear drip plate tabs back into the
slots at the back of the side burner body, and
secure the front of the drip plate with the screw
removed earlier.

Operating Instructions
To turn your side burner on:
Raise the lid.
Press and turn the control knob slowly (3-4 seconds) anti
clockwise to HIGH until a click is heard.
If the burner fails to ignite, turn the knob to OFF and repeat the
process.
A low flame or simmer condition is obtained by turning the control
knob anticlockwise to LOW.
The burner flame should be light blue with slight yellow tipping. If
the flame is too yellow, consult your dealer before further use.
Turning Off
Turning Off - Simply turn the knob to the off position. When you
have finished with your barbecue, turn the cylinder off.
Note carefully: Failure to follow the lighting and turn off procedures
correctly can lead to a hazardous condition.
After Use

barbecue is not in use.
Clean off any food spills and lower the lid.

Secure All Joints And Leak Test
The gas leak testing procedure should be conducted every time a gas cylinder is refilled and
reconnected to the appliance, or after any new gas connection is made. Never use a naked flame to
check for gas leaks.
In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent or soap. Mix the solution well.
Make sure that the gas supply valve on the gas cylinder or the shut off valve on the supply line is turned on.
Make sure that the gas control valves on the appliance are all turned off.
Using a brush or spray bottle apply the solution to the gas line and each joint in the gas line, including the
hose and regulator.
Bubbling of the solution will indicate that there is a leak present.
Re-tighten or re-seal any joints that are leaking.
If a leak persists contact your distributor for assistance.

Technical Specifications
Refer to the data plate on the side of the barbecue for details of gas pressure and consumption.

Stainless steel will keep its lustrous finish even under adverse conditions, although all outdoor products still
need regular cleaning. Please observe the following instructions:
Clean the appliance as required or at least twice annually with hot soapy water.
Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes as these will mark the stainless steel surfaces.
The surface of the stainless steel has a grain. Always clean along the grain of the steel. This will avoid
unwanted marks.
Near the ocean or salt-water environment, more frequent cleaning is necessary. Wash regularly, rinse and
then dry before covering.
Do not cover stainless steel while it still has salt water on it. Otherwise, salt deposits will form, causing rust
to appear even on very high grade stainless steel.

Discolouration of Stainless Steel
Discolouration of stainless steel, caused by high heat can sometimes appear as a light brown colouring over the
surface of the steel. In most cases, this discolouration can be removed with a suitable stainless steel polish.
Note: Discolouration of the Stainless steel is not covered under warranty.
Barbecue Covers
Barbecue Covers Are An Important Part Of Good Preventative. To prevent exposure to the elements, store
your barbecue, hood and trolley under the protection of a purpose made cover.
Check all gas hoses and connections.
Check the gas hoses every 3 months. Have them replaced if they show any signs of wear or cracking.
Perform a leak text (as described earlier) every time a gas connection is made or broken.
