WHO ARE WE?
The Flying Culinary Circus is the world’s first traveling cooking
group. In 2005 Trond, Hans-Kristian, Mathias, and Tor, went to
New York. A journey that ended up being an adventure of
a lifetime. With 65 countries and 300,000 hours of culinary
experience in the Chef whites, we have developed, designed, and
produced a wide range of grills and accessories that add something
new and unique to the grill range in the Nordic region.
Something we have always had is great love for grilling and
barbeque as a cooking method. Whether we have a garden party,
enjoy summer evenings in the park, cater for famous guests on
the French Riviera or simply just go on a cabin trip, barbecue and
grilling is in the center. It´s fantastic flavors, it´s tough, it´s cool and
it’s love for the most amazing cooking method in the world!
2023 will be the sixth year for FCC BBQ, and we´re very proud
and humble for the success and what we as a company have
achieved. For all of FCC BBQ products, the common denominator
is high quality and functionality at a good price. We want to inspire
the world trough cooking. Just as our vision:
Share the fun of cooking!

GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
The grill is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column (WC) and
is for use with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas
cylinder, to the dimensions of 18-1/4” (46.35 cm) high, 12-1/4”(31 cm) diameter. Contact your gas supplier for a special regulator
for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used. The
replacement hose assembly shall be that specified by the manufacturer.
INSTALLING A GAS CYLINDER
1. Before connecting, visually check the connection between
the burner venturi pipe and orifice for each burner. Make sure
the burner venturi pipe fits over the orifice. Note illustration
A for proper installation. If the burner pipe does not rest flush
to the orifice, contact Customer Care for assistance.
WARNING: Failure to inspect this connection or
follow these instructions could cause a fire or an
explosion which can cause death, serious bodily
injury or damage to property.
2. Next, inspect the regulator and gas components. Check to
ensure there is no debris caught in the head of the LP gas
cylinder, head of the regulator valve, or in the head of the
burner and burner ports.
3. Place gas cylinder onto a flat level surface. Note illustration B.
Make sure the gas cylinder valve is in the CLOSED position. It
is important to ensure the gas cylinder is completely upright,
as it is unsafe to operate the grill if the gas cylinder is not
installed properly.
4. Ensure the regulator valve on the grill is completely closed by
turning the knobs clockwise to the "OFF" position.
5. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening
and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps. Check the gas
cylinder to assure it has proper external male threads (type 1
connection per ANS Z21.81).
6. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the
regulator valve.
7. Gas cylinder is now installed.
WARNING: Shut off the gas cylinder if you smell gas. Attempt to re-install gas cylinder to ensure that tube
is connected properly.

ALWAYS PERFORM A LEAK TEST
BEFORE USING THE BARBECUE!
1. Thread the hose all the way into the gas nipple.
2. Place the hose clamp 0.5 - 1 cm from the end of the hose.
3. Use a socket wrench (size 7), wrench (size 7) or screwdriver to
tighten the hose clamp and tighten well.
4. IMPORTANT! A gas leak test must be performed as
described on next page before using the barbecue.
!
If the hose is too tight to thread onto the gas nipple, use soap at the tip of
the hose. Never use flammable liquids. Alternatively, dip the tip of the hose in
boiling water, and the hose will expand.
GASLEAKTEST
BEFORE USING THE BARBECUE, A LEAK TEST MUST BE CARRIED OUT!
NEVER CHECK FOR LEAKS BY USING AN OPEN FLAME! USE A LEAK SPRAY
OR ALTERNATIVELY A SOAPY WATER MIXTURE
(TWO PARTS DISHWASHING SOAP AND ONE PART WATER).
14

GASLEAKTEST
!
!
GAS LEAK TEST
1. Extinguish all live flames, heat sources and cigarettes in the area where
the leak test is to be performed.
2. Turn all controls on the barbecue to the OFF position.
3. Set the regulator to the OFF position and connect it to the gas cylinder.
4. Spray the leaking spray (or brush the soap mixture) on all joints and connections on the gas
cylinder, regulator, the entire hose and all valves on the barbecue.
5. Open the gas supply on the regulator and carefully check for bubbles
in any of the places where the spray mixture is applied.
6. IF BUBBLES OCCUR, CLOSE THE GAS SUPPLY AND TIGHTEN ALL CONNECTIONS/
JOINTS. THEN DO A NEW TEST.
THE BARBECUE MUST NOT BE USED UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THERE ARE NO LEAKS.
GAS LEAK CAN CAUSE UNCONTROLLED FIRE WHICH MAY INJURY PERSONS,
FIXED INSTALLATIONS AND YOUR BARBECUE.
7. If detected leakage cannot be rectified, do not attempt to cure leakage but consult your
dealer or FCC BBQ Products support at [e-mail] for help in solving the
problem.
●LEAK TEST MUST BE DONE REGULARLY AND EVERY TIME THE GAS
CYLINDER, REGULATOR OR HOSE IS REPLACED.
●ALSO TEST BEFORE NEW GRILL SEASON AND IF THE BARBECUE HAS
NOT BEEN USED FOR A WHILE.
●WE RECOMMEND TO PERFORM A GAS LEAK TEST AT LEAST TWICE A
SEASON, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE CHANGED THE GAS
BOTTLE OR NOT.

LASTCHECK
PLACEMENT OF THE TABLE TOP BARBECUE
•Ensure that the barbecue is placed at least 150 cm in all directions from house
walls, trees, plants and other flammable materials or liquids when in use.
•Do not place the barbecue under a roof or overhang.
•The barbecue must be placed on a higher level than the gas cylinder (e.g. on a table).
•Make sure that the barbecue is placed in a well-ventilated place to avoid carbon
monoxide poisoning.
•The barbecue must not be used below normal ground level, as this can
lead to an explosion hazard and a risk of lack of oxygen.
FINAL CHECK
•Check that the control knobs work
normally.
•Check that the gas hose is free
of cracks and damage (it should
always be done before using the
barbecue).
•Check that the gas cylinder and
hose do not come into contact
with hot objects.
GOOD ADVICE
•KEEP THE BARBECUE CLEAN. A clean
barbecue gives better effect, less smoke, less
irregular flames and reduces the risk of fat
burning.
•PREHEAT THE BARBECUE for 10-15 minutes at
maximum temperature. After preheating, adjust
the controls according to the type of grilling and
the desired grilling result. Using too much heat
can result in burnt and overcooked food.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL FOR THE FIRST TIME WITH FOOD, IT IS IMPORTANT TO
COMPLETE A BURN-OFF. START THE GRILL AND OPERATE FOR A MINIMUM OF 15 MINUTES
ON HIGH TO BURN-OFF THE UNIT. THIS WILL “HEAT CLEAN” THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS,
DISSIPATE ODORS AND RID IT OF ANY FOREIGN MATTER.

KEEP THE FIREBOX, FLAME TAMERS, COOKING GRATE
AND ACCESSORIES CLEAN TO AVOID GREASE FIRES.
IF A GREASE FIRE OCCUR
In case of grease fire, close the gas supply on the
regulator/barbecue and disconnect the regulator.
In the event of a minor grease fire, wait until the
fire goes out on its own. In the event of a major
grease fire, use a suitable extinguishing agent
(CO2 appliance, fire blanket, etc.) and try to
suffocate the fire.
HOW TO AVOID GREASE FIRE
Check the drip tray and grease cup after each
grilling and clean regularly with a nylon brush and
dishwashing detergent. How often it will be
necessary to clean will depend on how much
and type of food is grilled. To simplify cleaning we
recommend adding cat litter and/or aluminum foil
on the drip tray.
Clean the grill grate after grilling with a grill brush
and, if necessary, with soap and water.
Clean flame tamers after grilling with a grill brush
and, if necessary, with soap and water. In case of
visible accumulation of grease and food residue in
the firebox, remove these with a plastic scraper or
use a nylon brush, water and dish soap.
During preheating, check that there are no signs of
irregular flames. When grilling foods with much fat,
pay extra attention. Feel free to use trays in alu-
minum foil to prevent large amounts from running
down on flame tamers and on the grease tray.
Do not leave the barbecue when it is lit and close
the gas supply as soon as possible if there is a sign
of a grease fire.
MAINTENANCE OF THE BARBECUE
•Check regularly that the burners are burning
correctly.
•Remove the grill grate and flame tamers
•Light the barbecue in the normal way.
•Turn the control from low to high. Check if
there is a difference in strength, and that the
flame is clear and blue. The flame should not
be orange. If the burner behaves abnormally,
read the troubleshooting table.
•Remove grease and old food debris on the
burners with a nylon brush and check that no
holes in the burner are clogged.
MAINTENANCE OF THE BURNERS
1. All controls must be in OFF mode. Check
that the gas supply is switched off and the
regulator is disconnected from the gas
cylinder.
2. Remove the cooking grate, flame tamers and
drip tray.
3. Remove the screws on the burner,
use a screwdriver.
4. Carefully lift the burners out of the valve
outlet.
5. Use a nylon brush to clean the outside of the
burner.
6. Clean blocked passages/channels by using a
metal string or e.g. bending a paper clip.
7. Check that insects, cobwebs etc. do not
block the inside of the burner. In that case,
remove this.
8. Check if the burner is damaged. Small holes
and corrosion can occur with normal use of
the barbecue. Are there cracks or holes, the
burner should be replaced with a new one.
9. After cleaning, place the burner in place and
screw it on.
10.Replace flame tamers, grease trays and grill
grate.
MAINTENANCE
!NB: DO NOT USE WATER TO
EXTINGUISH GREASE FIRE!
CLEAN THE BARBECUE REGULARLY
TO AVOID GREASE FIRES.
18

CLEANING
All cleaning and maintenance must be performed
when the barbecue is cold. Make sure that the
gas upply is switched OFF and the regulator is
disconnected from the gas cylinder.
Use a mixture of dishwashing detergent and water,
or use a separate grill cleaner with a nylon scrubbing
brush / scouring sponge on the inside of the lid and
in the inner grill body itself. Rinse well and allow to
air dry completely. Do not use caustic soda, alcoholic
or abrasive detergents. This can damage the
barbecue and cause a fire. Cast iron cooking grate,
drip tray and grease cup must not be cleaned in a
dishwasher.
PLASTIC PARTS
Use only clean water and any mild detergents.
Wipe with a clean cloth.

Cast aluminum parts are varnished with a high-
quality lacquer that can be damaged if abrasives
grinding cleaning is used. Clean with a mixture of
dishwashing detergent and water, or use a separate
grill cleaner with a nylon scrubbing brush/scouring
sponge on the inside of the lid and in the inner grill
body itself. Outside of the barbecue use a soft
sponge or microfiber cloth to clean painted surfaces.
Rinse well and allow to air dry completely. Do not
use caustic soda, alcoholic or abrasive detergents.
This can damage the barbecue and cause a fire.
Cast iron cooking grate, drip tray and grease cup
must not be cleaned in a dishwasher.
As a finishing step you can use polish or aluminum
protector to give your bbq a protection from the
elements. This is something we recommend 1-2 times
pr year.
Barbecues in cast aluminum requires less
maintenance than barbecues in other materials,
but surface rust can appear if the step above is not
followed.
COOKING GRATE OG FLAME TAMERS
Grill grate and flame tamers are brushed regularly
with a grill brush for rough cleaning. The grill grate
can be soaked in mild soapy water. For difficult,
burnt stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse well
with water and dry well.
NB! The grill grates must be completely dry before
they are placed back in the barbecue. For main
cleaning before storing the barbecue for a longer
period, feel free to insert the grill grates with a
thin layer of cooking oil.
INSECTS AND VERMIN
After long-term storage, insects and other vermin
can be found in the barbecue. If you experience
problems with lighting or irregular flames, it can be
due to unwanted guests blocking the gas supply. In
such instances, dismantle and clean the burners.
Replace the burners when they are dry.
•Disassemble the burners and clean them if
pests are suspected in the barbecue. Refit the
burners when they are completely dry.
•Check that the gas hose is not cracked or
damaged by mice or rats.
To avoid rust damage, we recommend protecting
the barbecue with a fitted barbecue cover, or that
you do not store the barbecue out in the open or
expose it to rain.

TO THE BARBECUE CAUSED BY FAT BURNING, IS NOT COVERED BY THE

ADVICE TIPSANDSAFETY
SAFETY AND INFORMATION
•The gas cylinder should always be placed next to the barbecue when in use.
•Close the gas supply on the regulator when the barbecue is not in use and when storing the gas
cylinder under the barbecue, disconnect the regulator.
•If the barbecue is stored in a garage or basement below ground level, the gas cylinder should not be
stored in the same place.
•If the barbecue has a side burner, the circumference of the pots and pans used must not be larger
than the opening on the side burner.
If oversized accessories are used, the heat will be trapped inside which will create an overheating
that can damage the barbecue.
•THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USE IN PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS AND IS NOT SUITABLE
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE IN A RESTAURANT OR SIMILAR.
•Coatings should not be applied until the barbecue is completely cold and dry. Moisture on the
inside of the cover will cause large formations of surface rust for those of the grill parts which are in
painted steel and stainless steel.
•AVOID STORAGE OF The barbecue IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, AS PARTS OF THE BARBECUE THAT
CONTAIN STAINLESS STEEL OR GLASS MAY REFLECT SUNLIGHT AND CAUSE FIRE.
•PARTS IN PLASTIC WILL BE ABLE TO BLEACH UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SUNLIGHT.
•LACQUERED PARTS WILL BE ABLE TO WHITE WITH THE EFFECT OF SUNLIGHT.
ADVICE AND TIPS
•Always preheat the barbecue for 10-15 minutes before starting to grill. Then the cast iron grates are
taken up and distributed evenly over the barbecue surface.
•Outdoor temperature, wind, snow and rain can give a deviation of up to 30% on the temperature
shown in the thermometer and the temperature that is actually on the barbecue surface.
•Make sure that the barbecue is on a stable and straight surface to prevent grease from leaking out
of the grease collection system.
•To facilitate cleaning of grease trays, cat litter can be used to absorb grease.
•Make sure that the barbecue is stored dry under a roof or under a cover. Water from snow, ice and
rain that enters the barbecue can overfill the grease collection system and cause leakage to the
surface.
•We recommend the use of FCC BBQ original covers for the best possible protection against
rain, pollen and pollution. Remember that the barbecue must be completely dry and cold before
applying the coating. The coating is equally waterproof both ways and moisture on the inside can
cause major rust damage on painted and stainless steel surfaces.
