position.
• Attach the regulator to the gas cylinder.
• Perform the Gas Leak Test as described in Safety Precautions.
• Check that all areas under the front panel are free from any obstructions (insects etc.). This area must be kept clean as this may affect the flow of
combustion or of ventilation air.
• Check the hose before each and every use, looking for cracks, cuts or any abrasions.
• If the hose is found to be faulty in any way, DO NOT attempt to use your barbecue, replace the hose with one from Dellonda.
• Ensure the hose is free from any kinks or bends which will affect the gas flow, when using your barbecue. Also the hose must not have undue
tension and must not touch any part of the barbecue which may be hot. The hose must not be longer than 1.5 metres.
• The barbecue must be kept away from flammable materials.

• 3. Connect regulator to the gas bottle. Turn the gas cylinder valve to the ON position at the regulator.
• 4. Push down the control knob (g.1A) and keep pressing while turning anticlockwise to the high position. This will cause the piezo electric
system to spark. and the gas in the lighting tube (g.1C) will ignite.
• 5. Continue holding the control knob for a further few seconds to allow gas ow to reach the end of the burner tube (g.1E) and be fully lit.
• 6. If the burner has not lit, turn knob off, wait 5 minutes and repeat above step.
• 7. Repeat step 4 to 5 for the other burners.
• TO TURN OFF: Turn burners to OFF positions. Wait until the burner has gone out.
• Turn off the tap on the gas bottle regulator.
• Clean after use.
• If using BBQ grill mats please ensure that the lid remains open throughout use to allow heat dispersal. Please leave at least 50mm gap between
the edge of the grill mat and the edge of the BBQ.
Maintenance
• Perform Maintenance at least once a year in order to extend the life of your barbecue.
• The hose should be renewed if damaged.
CLEANING
• To clean the barbecue, turn the burner on for 5 to 10 minutes. Grease will be burned off from the grill as well as the Flame Tamer Plate.
• Ensure the barbecue is cold before continuing. The grill should be cleaned periodically by soaking and washing in soapy water. Use a wire brush,
steel wool or a scouring pad to remove stubborn spots. Always rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• The interior surfaces of the grill housing cover should be washed with hot soapy water.
• Regularly clean the drip tray reservoir with hot soapy water. It is sited beneath the barbecue at the back and will be hot whilst the barbecue is in
use.
• Periodically check the burners to see that are free from insects and spiders which may block the gas system.
• Clean the venturi tube on the burner very carefully, checking to see that it is free of obstructions. We recommend the use of a pipe cleaner to
clean the venturi tube area.
STORAGE
• The gas bottle must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area and must be disconnected from your barbecue when not being used.
• Ensure that you are outside and well away from any sources of ignition before disconnecting your bottle.
• When using your barbecue after a period of storage, check for gas leaks and for any obstructions in the burner before using. Also follow the
cleaning instructions to ensure the barbecue is safe. Check that areas under the lid and ame tamer are free from any obstruction, (insect,
ingress etc.). This area must be kept clean, as it may affect the ow of combustion or air.
• We recommend you use a barbecue cover to protect this item when not in use. Ensure it is cool before the cover is used. Covers must be
removed periodically to minimise moisture build up.
