INFORMATION section of this anual.
Your barbecue is not designed to be used
with ore than 50% of the cooking area as a
solid plate — this includes baking dishes.
Full coverage will cause excessive build-up
of heat and da age the barbecue. This is
not covered by warranty.
Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods fro sticking to the cooking
surface, please use a long handled brush to
apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil
before each barbecuing session (Note: When
cooking for the first ti e, paint colours ay
change slightly as a result. This is nor al and
should be expected.)

19
Lighting the Side Burner
Push and turn the side burner control knob anti-
clockwise to the high position. Push the ignitor
button rapidly until the side burner ignites. If the
side burner fails to ignite, turn the control knob
to the OFF position and wait five inutes before
atte pting to re-light following the above
procedure. If the side burner still fails to ignite,
turn the control knob off, wait five inutes and
light with a atch.
When using the side-burner, care should be
taken to ensure that pots and pans are central
and flat on the side-burner grid.
Grill Cooking
The burners heat up the fla e ta er
underneath the grill, which in turn heats the food
on the grill. The natural food juices produced
during cooking fall onto the fla e ta er below
and vaporise. The subsequent rising s oke
bastes the food, as it travels upwards, i parting
that unique barbecued flavour.
Roasting Hood Cooking
Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give
the option to for an ‘oven’ for roasting or
baking food, such as joints of eat or whole
chickens, etc. More even cooking of food will
actually be achieved by using the barbecue with
the hood down. However, this should only be
done with the burners on low
For best results, place the food you wish to bake
or roast on a etal baking tray and set it on one
side of the cooking grill.
When roasting, turn the burner to a LOW to
MEDIUM position.
Close the hood to cook the food ‘indirectly’.
Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is
lost every ti e the hood is opened. If the hood
is opened during cooking please allow extra
ti e for the barbecue to regain its te perature
and co plete the cooking.
If the internal heat beco es too high, turn the
burners down to the low position. It is not
necessary or advisable to have all of the
burners on high when the hood is closed.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO
OVERHEAT. Take care when opening the hood
as hot stea can be released on opening.
Warming Rack
War ing racks are a convenient way to keep
cooked food war or to war ite s such as
bread rolls. It is advisable to place food
(particularly fatty foods) to the front of the
war ing rack to avoid the possibility of juices
and fat running down the back of your barbecue.
Always check that your war ing rack is properly
fitted before use.
Flare-Up Control
Flare-ups occur when eat is barbecued, and
the fat and juices fall upon the hot fla e ta er.
S oke of course helps give food its barbecued
flavour, but it is best to avoid excessive flare-up
to prevent food being burned. To control flare-
ups, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to tri
away excess fat fro eat and poultry before
grilling, use cooking sauces and arinades
sparingly and try to avoid very cheap cuts of
eat or eat products as these tend to have a
high fat and water content. Also, the burners
should always be placed on the low setting
during cooking.
When flare-ups do occur, they can usually be
extinguished by applying baking soda or salt
directly onto the fla e ta er. Always protect
your hands when handling anything near the
cooking surface of the barbecue and take care
to protect yourself fro the fla es.
If a fat fire occurs, please see the instructions
given below.
Fat Fires
E pty and clean the grease cup of food debris
after each cooking session. If the barbecue is to
be used for large gatherings, it will be necessary
to turn off and cool the barbecue every two
hours to re ove food debris fro the grease
cup and clean it out. The ti e between cleaning
ay need to be reduced if very fatty foods or
cheap eat products are being cooked. Failure
to do this ay result in a fat fire, which ay
cause injury and could seriously da age the
barbecue.
8
In the event of a fat fire:
• If safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the
‘off’ position.
• Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle.
• Keep everyone at a safe distance fro the
barbecue and wait until the fire has burnt
out.
• Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
• NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH
WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED,

20
IT SHOULD BE A POWDER TYPE.
• DO NOT REMOVE THE GREASE CUP.
• If the fire does not see to be abating or
appears to be worsening, contact your local
Fire Brigade for assistance.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue
burners to the “high” position and burn for 5
inutes. This procedure will burn off cooking
residue, thus aking cleaning easier. Make sure
the hood or lid is open during this process.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have finished using your barbecue,
turn all the control valves fully clockwise to the
“Off” position, then switch off the gas supply at
the bottle.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before
closing its hood or lid.
Care and Maintenance
Regularly clean your barbecue between uses
and especially after extended periods of
storage. Ensure the barbecue and its
co ponents are sufficiently cool before
cleaning. Do not leave the barbecue exposed to
outside weather conditions or stored in da p,
oist areas.
Never handle hot parts with unprotected
hands.
Never douse the barbecue with water when
its surfaces are hot.
In order to extend the life and aintain the
condition of your barbecue, we strongly
reco end that the unit be covered when left
outside for any length of ti e, especially during
the winter onths. Heavy-duty barbecue covers
and other accessories are available fro your
local stockist.
Even when your barbecue is covered for its
protection, it ust be inspected on a regular
basis as da p or condensation can for which
ay result in da age to the barbecue. It ay be
necessary to dry the barbecue and the inside of
the cover. It is possible for ould to grow on any
fat re aining on parts of the barbecue. This
should be cleaned off s ooth surfaces with hot
soapy water.
Any rust that is found that does not co e into
contact with the food should be treated with a
rust inhibitor and painted with barbecue paint or
a heat resistant paint.
A chro e cleaner ay be used on chro e parts
if required. To prevent rusting, wipe chro e
plated war ing racks etc. with cooking oil after
rinsing and drying.
Cooking Surfaces & Warming Rack
When the barbecue has cooled, clean with hot
soapy water. To re ove any food residue, use a
ild crea cleaner on a non-abrasive pad. Do
not use scouring pads or powders as they can
per anently da age the finish. Rinse well and
dry thoroughly.
Burner
Your burner has been preset for opti al fla e
perfor ance. You will nor ally see a blue
fla e, possibly with a s all yellow tip when the
burner is alight. If the fla e pattern is
significantly yellow, this could be a proble
caused by grease fro cooking blocking the
burner, or debris or insects in the burner
portholes or venturi tubes. This can result in the
flow of the gas and air ixture being restricted
or blocked which ay result in a fire behind the
control panel causing serious da age to your
barbecue. If this happens, and if safe to do
so, the gas should be immediately turned off
at the bottle
The burner should be inspected, re oved and
cleaned on a regular basis, at least annually.
Provided that they are operating correctly, in
nor al usage, burning off the residue after
cooking will keep the burners clean.
To clean a burner fully, re ove it fro the
barbecue. A soft wire brush can be used to
re ove corrosion fro the burner surfaces. Use
a pipe cleaner or piece of wire to clear
obstructions in the burner portholes and venturi
tubes, taking care not to enlarge the portholes.
Clean the insect screen on the end of the
venturi tube with a bristle brush (i.e. an old
toothbrush).
You ay need a torch to see into the venturi
tube to ake sure it is clear. Turn the burner up
on end and lightly tap against a hard surface like
a piece of wood, to dislodge any debris fro
inside.
When refitting the burner, be careful to check
that the venturi tubes the burner fit over the
