Cooking Instructions
Indirect Cooking
The indirect cooking method can also be used with the
supplied Solid Plate & Open Grills. To cook indirectly, the food
should be placed on the left or right side of your Outdoor
Cooking Centre with the Burner lit on the opposite side. Or
place your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack mounted
inside your hood and light the outer grill Burners. Either way,
indirect cooking must be done with the Hood down.
Coating your Solid Plate & Open Grills
Before and after each cookout, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each Solid
Plate & Open Grills. Be sure to coat the entire surface including edges. This will help prevent foods from
sticking to your Solid Plate & Open Grills.
Flare-ups
The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favourably, distinctive
taste and colour to food cooked over an open flame, they should be accepted up to a point. Nevertheless,
uncontrolled flaring can result in a ruined meal.
WARNING: Do not line the bottom of the Burner housing with aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will
restrict the flow of grease into the Grease Spillage Tray.
Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion, which could cause serious bodily
injury, death, or property damage.
Warming Rack/
Secondary
Cooking Rack
WARNING: Your Outdoor Cooking Centre will get very hot. Never lean over the cooking area during use. Do
not touch cooking surfaces, burner housing, hood or any other parts while the Outdoor Cooking Centre is in
operation, or until the Outdoor Cooking Centre has cooled down after use. Failure to comply with these
instructions may result in serious bodily injury.
Burn-off
Before cooking on your Outdoor Cooking Centre for the first time, you will want to “burn off” the Outdoor
Cooking Centre to eliminate any odour or foreign matter. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 12 to ignite
the Burners, lower the hood, and operate on the HIGH setting for three to five minutes.
CAUTION: If the burners fail to light, turn the control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes till the gas clears and try
again. Do not leave your Outdoor Cooking Centre unattended.
Preheating
To preheat, light your Outdoor Cooking Centre on HIGH, lower the Hood and follow this timetable:
• For high temperature cooking, preheat Burners for 5 to 10 minutes.
• For low temperature cooking, preheat Burners for 3 minutes.
• To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.
Cooking Temperatures
High setting: Only use this setting for fast warm-up, searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue off
the grill after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.
Medium to Low settings: Most recipes specify medium to low settings, including all smoking, rotisserie cooking
and for cooking lean cuts such as fish.
NOTE: Temperature settings will vary with the amount of wind and temperature outside your home.
Direct Cooking
The direct cooking method can be used with the supplied Solid Plate & Open Grills and food placed directly
over the lit grill Burners. Direct cooking requires the hood to be up. This method is ideal for searing and
whenever you want meat, poultry or fish to have an open-flame barbecued taste. Smoking is also best cooked
in this manner because it requires direct heat.

Cleaning and Maintenance cont’d
b) Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle. Run the brush through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner
several times, removing any debris.
c) Use an air hose to force air through each Burner Tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstructions
through the Burner and out the ports.
Regardless of which Burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps
to help prolong Burner life.
1. Use a brass wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of each Burner until free of food residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.
3. Inspect each Burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new
Burner. After installation, check to insure that the Gas Valve Nozzle are correctly placed inside the ends of
the Burner Tubes. Also check the position of your Spark Electrode.
WARNING: The location of the Burner Tube with respect to the Nozzle is vital for safe operation. Check to
ensure the Orifice is inside of the Burner Tube before using your Outdoor Cooking Centre. See below. If the
Burner Tube does not fit over the Nozzle, lighting the Burner may cause explosion and/or fire.
a) Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown below. Run the hook
through the Burner Tube and inside the Burner several times to remove any debris.

Cleaning the Burner Tubes and Burner Ports
To reduce the chance of “FLASH-BACK” the procedure below should be followed at least once a month in late
summer or early fall when spiders are most active or when your Outdoor Cooking Centre has not been used
for a period of time.
1. Turn all Control Knobs to the full OFF position.
2. Turn the LPG Cylinder Valve to the full OFF position (DELUX9FS21 model). For Natural Gas (DELUX9FS21NG
model), turn off the gas supply at the manual shut-off valve.
3. Remove the Solid Plate & Open Grills, Flame Tamers, and Grease Spillage Tray.
4. Remove the screws at the front and rear of each Burner using a Screwdriver.
5. Carefully lift each Burner up and away from the Gas Valve Nozzle.
6. Perform one of these three cleaning methods:

Cleaning and Maintenance
Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapours and liquids. As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep your Outdoor
Cooking Centre in top operating condition and prolong its life. By following these cleaning procedures on a
timely basis, your Outdoor Cooking Centre will stay clean and work properly with minimum effort.
CAUTION: Be sure your Outdoor Cooking Centre is OFF and cool before cleaning.
Cleaning The Solid Plate & Open Grills
Before initial use and as needed, wash your Solid plate & Open grills with a mild detergent and rinse with hot
water. For stubborn food residue use a degreaser and fibre or brass cleaning brush.
Cleaning The Grease Spillage Tray
To reduce the chance of fire, the Grease Spillage Tray should be inspected before each use and if required,
cleaned before turning the Outdoor Cooking Centre on. Remove grease (a plastic spatula works well) and
wash Grease Spillage Tray with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Cleaning the Flame Tamers
To reduce the chance of flare-ups, Flame Tamers should be cleaned whenever food or grease drippings
accumulate. Brush off Flame Tamers with a fibre type brush and turn over to allow the Burner heat to burn off
any stubborn food residue. The Ceramic Flame Tamers work equally well on either side.
Annual Cleaning of The Outdoor Cooking Centre Interior
Use a fibre or brass cleaning brush to clean inside the Burner Housing, Solid Plate & Open Grills, Flame Tamers
and Grease Spillage Tray. Never use a wire brush or metal scraper on porcelain finished parts (Open Grills)
which can scratch or chip the porcelain finish and promote rusting.
1. Turn all Control Knobs to the full OFF position.
2. Shut off gas supply to your Outdoor Cooking Centre.
3. Remove and clean the Flame Tamers, Solid Plate, Open Grills, and Grill Burners.
4. Cover each Gas Valve Nozzle with aluminum foil.
5. Brush the inside and bottom of the Outdoor Cooking Centre with a brass wire brush or fibre cleaning pad,
and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
6. Remove aluminum foil from Nozzles and check each Nozzle for obstruction.
7. Check each Spark Electrode, adjusting as needed. The space between the Spark Electrode Tip and Spark
Receiver should be approximately 5mm.
8. Replace the Burners and adjust the Gas Collector Box. The edge of the collector box should be overlapping
the Burner Port.
9. Replace Flame Tamers and the Solid Plate & Open Grills.
10. Reconnect the gas source and observe the Burner flame for correct operation.
Exterior Stainless Steel Surfaces:
Weathering and high heat can cause the stainless steel hood to turn tan in colour. This is not to be confused
with rust and is not a product defect. Machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel as well
as cooking oils and a dirty hood can also encourage discolouration if the hood is not cleaned prior to use.
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect fuel line from LPG cylinder. Protect fuel line fitting.
2. Use a Stainless Steel Cleaner and soft cloth to remove residual adhesive and oils from the inside and outside
of the Hood. Never use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers. In addition to the initial cleaning, routine cleaning
to remove dirt, grease and oils will help discourage hood discolouration.
CAUTION: BEWARE OF FLASH-BACK
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the grill Burner Tubes during transit and
warehousing. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the
Burner Tubes. This type of fire is known as a “FLASH-BACK” and can cause serious damage to your Outdoor
Cooking Centre and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed Burner Tube is not the only cause of “FLASH-BACK”, you must clean the Burner Tubes
before assembling your Outdoor Cooking Centre, and at least once a month in late summer or early fall when
spiders are most active. Also perform this Burner Tube cleaning procedure if your Outdoor Cooking Centre has
not been used for an extended period of time.

Natural Gas Installation (For DELUX9FS21NG model only)
WARNING: Installing the Outdoor Cooking Centre for use with Natural Gas should only be done
by authorised persons and in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions, local
gas fitting regulations, municipal building codes, AS 5601-2004 - Gas Installations and any other
statutory regulations.
PARTS ALREADY FITTED BY MANUFACTURER
- Natural Gas Injectors fitted & bypass screw adjusted.
- No longer than 300mm Stainless Steel Hose, 10mm I.D, ½” BSP Male to 3/8” SAE Female.
- NG Regulator Bromic Oara 98OL (AGA#5862).
ADDITIONAL PARTS SUPPLIED FOR INSTALLATION
- Chain restraint (No longer than 80% of the gas hose length)
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Screw one end of the supplied chain restraint to the lower rear section of the trolley below where the gas
hose exits the BBQ trolley. The other end should be attached to a fixed structural point close to where the
hose connects to the bayonet point on the main gas line. The chain must be installed to ensure stress is not
placed on the gas supply line if the barbecue is accidentally moved.
2. At the free end of the regulator, attach a Flexible Hose which complies with AS/NZS 1869 (AGA Approved),
10mm ID, class B or D, no more than 1.5m long and in accordance with AS5601. Feed the hose out the
rear of the BBQ trolley through the allocated slot in the rear panel.
Caution: The Stainless Steel hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation
once fitted to the Outdoor Cooking Centre.
3. Connect the hose assembly to the bayonet point on the main gas line.
4. Follow the instructions on Page 13 to perform a Gas Leak Test on all gas connections.
Note: If the hose or regulator becomes damaged, replace it with the same item by contacting customer service
& spare parts.
CHECKING THE GAS PRESSURE
1. Turn off the gas supply.
2. Connect the pressure gauge to the pressure test point. This can be done by either removing the test point
screw on the NG regulator or by removing one of the burners and measuring the test point pressure at the
injector. Follow instructions on Page 24 to remove the burner (if needed).
3. Once the gauge is in position, turn the gas supply on.
4. Ignite the burner furthest away from the gauge and turn the knob to the “HIGH” position. Check that the
reading measures 1.00kPa for Natural Gas. If not, adjust the regulator to obtain the stated pressure.
5. Once the pressure is set, switch off the burner, turn off the gas supply, and disconnect the pressure gauge.
6. Ensure the Outdoor Cooking Centre is returned to its normal operating state. Replace the screw in the NG
regulator, or replace the burner if it has been removed. Perform a gas leak check on all gas connections to
make sure there are no gas leaks at the test point or at any point in the connection to the inlet manifold.
Note to Installer
Before Leaving - Check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for
detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to ensure correct operation of gas valves,
burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low flame position and observe stability of the flame for each burner
individually and concurrently.
If the flame appears abnormal or fails to remain alight, you will need to adjust the by-pass setting. Remove the
four control knobs for the main burners. Place a small slotted jewellers/precision screwdriver through the shaft
of the gas valve. Turn the by-pass screw anti-clockwise until the burner stays alight and the flame appears
normal with very little or no yellow tipping.
When satisfied with the Outdoor Cooking Centre, please instruct the user on the correct method of operation.

Using the Rotisserie & Infrared Back Burner cont’d
Food Preparation
When preparing poultry, truss the birds tightly so that wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird.
The cavity of the bird may be stuffed prior to this. Pull the neck skin down and, using a small skewer, fix it to
the back of the bird. Push the rotisserie spit through lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone.
Centre the bird and tighten with the holding forks. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butcher
string (never use plastic or nylon string) to secure any loose portions.
A rolled piece of meat requires the rotisserie skewer to be inserted through the centre of the length of meat,
then secured and balanced.
For meats that contain bones, it is best to secure the rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections.
If protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover with pieces of foil.
Tips for Using The Back Burner
The location of the back burner makes it more susceptible to winds that will decrease the performance of your
rotisserie cooking. For this reason you should not operate the back burner during windy weather conditions.
For best results, always rotisserie cook with the hood down and the Back Burner control knob set to HIGH.
DO NOT use the main grill burners when the Back Burner is in operation.
Using the Smoker Drawer
Preparing to Smoke Food
Smoking gives food a distinctive, delicious flavour. You will find a variety of wood chips or pellets available for
use in smoking grilled foods. Pre-soaking of wood chips may be required so read and follow the manufacturers
instructions for preparation of smoking chips prior to filling the smoker drawer.
Using The Smoker Drawer
Start your Outdoor Cooking Centre and allow it to reach the desired cooking temperature for the food you are
grilling. Wear an insulated cooking glove and pull the smoker drawer out of the Outdoor Cooking Centre and
fill with your prepared smoking chips. Dried herbs and spices may also be added to produce different flavours.
Return the smoker drawer to the Outdoor Cooking Centre, light the Smoker Burner following the instructions
on Page 16, the heat will produce smoke and season the food.
Tips for Smoking Food
You can reduce the strength of the smoke flavour by only smoking for half or three quarters of the cooking
time. The heat required for smoking is normally low to medium.
Foods naturally high in oils lend themselves well to smoking, while drier foods benefit from a marinade. You
can also rub the food with herbs, spices or flavoured oils. Many foods can be smoked to produce stunning
results with very little effort.
Here are a few suggestions for marinating food:
- Tuna steaks, marinated in Asian flavours of sesame oil, soy sauce and sherry.
- Pork fillets, rubbed with ginger, orange rind and brushed with maple syrup.
- Mussels, brushed with lemon rind and chilli oil.
- Lamb cutlets, marinated in virgin olive oil, lemon, oregano and black pepper. The same marinade can be used
for a whole leg or rack of lamb.
Here are a few suggestions for smoking food:
- Boneless chicken, chicken pieces, specially sliced chicken breasts smoked with Hickory.
- Fish fillets and assorted seafoods such as prawns, scallops and calamari smoked with Apple Wood.
- White & red meats such as beef, lamb, duck, and pork smoked with Hickory or Mesquite.

Using the Rotisserie & Infrared Back Burner
BEFORE rotisserie cooking, you will need to remove the Solid Plate & Open Grills and possibly the Flame
Tamers from your Outdoor Cooking Centre. When rotisserie cooking, place a Cooking Pan under the food to
be cooked. This will capture the drippings and keep your Outdoor Cooking Centre clean of excess grease,
which could cause a fire. Use caution when moving a Cooking Pan containing hot oils.
NOTE: The bushing collar must always be used with this Rotisserie.
Using your Infrared Back Burner and Rotisserie
Your Outdoor Cooking Centre includes an Infrared Back Burner and a Rotisserie designed to slowly cook foods
that are moist and flavourful, because the turning food self bastes using infrared heat. The location of the Back
Burner allows the placement of a basting pan beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and
gravy. To flavour the contents of the basting pan you may add herbs, onions, or other spices of your choice.
The Rotisserie Burner is Infrared, which provides intense radiant heat. This intense heat is magnificent for
searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.
Rotisserie cooking is a slow cooking process and the maximum temperature you can expect to reach with the
hood closed is about 163°C to 177°C, depending on weather conditions.
To light the back burner, turn the control knob to the “HIGH” position, press and hold the Electric Igniter for 3-
4 seconds to light the burner. If the Burner does not light, turn the control knob to “OFF”, wait 5 minutes for
the gas to clear, then retry.
Using your Lamp
Your Outdoor Cooking Centre includes a Lamp which is installed on the rotisserie motor. Plug the 3-prong
grounded plug into a mating 3-prong grounding type receptacle, then press the button for Lamp, the Lamp
will light. You can use the Lamp to observe your food when you are cooking at night.
If the Lamp is lit, the vents may be hot. For your safety, do not touch the vents or Rotisserie motor surfaces.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be used, including the following:
1. Always attach the assembled Rotisserie to your Outdoor Cooking Centre first, then plug the Cord into an
outlet. To disconnect, turn the Rotisserie “OFF” then remove the Plug from outlet.
2. Most Outdoor Cooking Centre surfaces and Rotisserie parts are hot during and after cooking, so use
reasonable care and wear protective mitts. Only manouevre the Rotisserie by its Handle.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse Electrical Cord, Plug or Motor in water or expose to
rain. Protect electrical cord from burners, hot grill surfaces and grease.
4. Do not operate the Rotisserie if the cord or plug becomes damaged, or if the Rotisserie malfunctions or has
been damaged in any manner.
5. Do not let children operate your Outdoor Cooking Centre or Rotisserie, and do not let children play nearby.
6. Unplug the Rotisserie from electrical outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before
adding or removing parts. When the Rotisserie is not in use, store it indoors in a dry place.
7. The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause injuries. Do
not use this Rotisserie for other than intended use.
8. When rotisserie cooking place a Cooking Pan under the food to be cooked. This will capture the drippings
and keep your Outdoor Cooking Centre clean of excess grease which could cause a fire. Use caution when
moving a Cooking Pan containing hot oils.
9. Never line the bottom of your burner housing with aluminum foil, sand or any grease absorbent
substance.
10. Should a grease fire occur, turn the burners and gas off and leave the hood CLOSED until the fire is out.
11. The rotisserie motor is set for 240V 50Hz AC current. A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used the marked electrical Rating should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance and suitable for outdoor use with a 3-wire grounding type cord. The
cord must be arranged so that it will be protected from burners, hot surfaces, grease and where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
12. The Outdoor Cooking Centre and rotisserie is for use outdoors only.

1. Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one part water.
2. Turn the Control Knobs to the full OFF position, then turn the gas ON at source.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections. If bubbles appear in the soap solution the connections are
not properly sealed, check each fitting and tighten or repair as necessary.
4. If you have a gas leak that you cannot repair, turn off the gas at the source, disconnect fuel line from your
Outdoor Cooking Centre and call the manufacturer or your gas supplier for repair assistance.
WARNING
A strong gas smell, or the hissing sound of gas indicates a serious problem with your Outdoor Cooking Centre
or gas connection. Failure to immediately follow the steps listed below could result in a fire or explosion that
could cause serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
1. Shut off gas supply to your Outdoor Cooking Centre.
2. Turn the Control Knobs to OFF position.
3. Put out any flame with a Class B fire extinguisher.
4. Open hood.
5. Do not try to fix the problem yourself.
