GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Connecting & Disconnecting to Gas Source
IMPORTANT: Before connecting and disconnecting
barbecue to gas source, make sure regulator is in
‘LOCK’ position.
CAUTION: When the barbecue is not in use, the
gas must be turned off at the cylinder.
Familiarise yourself with the general information and safety
guidelines located at the front of this manual.
Check:
1. The cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be heard
when shaken.
2. The regulator is in the ‘LOCK’ position.
Connecting 9Kg LPG Cylinder
1. Ensure regulator is in LOCK position.
2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder connection
or the hose. NEVER attempt to use damaged equipment.
3. Connect the hose to regulator and gas cylinder.
4. When connecting the hose to the regulator tighten the
brass nut on the hose by hand.
5. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the nut
on the QCC hand-wheel to the cylinder valve by hand.
6. If a leak can be heard at either end of the hose turn
cylinder off and tighten joint. Wait 5 minutes before re-
testing and use a soapy water solution to check the joint.
If bubbles appear the connection will need to be re-
tightened.
Connecting 1lb. Disposable Propane
Cylinder
1. Ensure regulator is in lock position.
2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder connector
or the regulator. Never attempt to use damage
equipment.
3. Tighten the cylinder to the regulator by hand.
Disconnecting
1. Ensure the BBQ regulator is in the ‘LOCK’ position.
2. Ensure cylinder valve is in the off (closed) position.
For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the
cylinder only. DO NOT disconnect hose from appliance.
IMPORTANT: The appliance control knob must be
in the ‘LOCK’ position before opening the cylinder
valve.
QCC Hand-Wheel Safety Feature
For 9Kg LPG Cylinder Only
The QCC hand-wheel (the knob that attaches the gas hose
assembly to the 9kg LPG cylinder) has a safety feature
called an Excess Flow Valve included that restricts gas flow
in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertently activate this
safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically occurs
when you turn on the gas using the barbecue control knob
before you turn on the gas cylinder valve or if the LPG
cylinder valve is opened too quickly. If the safety feature
activates, the barbecue will operate with reduced output
as gas flow is restricted.
If the Excess Flow Valve is inadvertently activated and the
BBQ is not receiving adequate amount of gas for optimal
performance, these steps should be taken first to reset the
gas regulator safety device:
Ensure the barbecue hood is open.
1. Turn regulator off.
2. Disconnect the QCC hand-wheel from the gas cylinder.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Reconnect the QCC hand-wheel to the gas cylinder.
5. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
6. Light barbecue as per the instructions provided.
Operation
Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the
GENERAL INFORMATION section of this manual.
Preparation before cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking surface please
use a long-handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking oil
or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session.
Lighting Procedure
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time, read the
instructions fully to ensure the barbecue is assembled
correctly and is ready for use. Remove all point-of-sale
material from the barbecue.
IMPORTANT: The appliance regulator must be in
the ‘LOCK’ position before connecting the gas
cylinder.
Lighting the Barbecue
•Open the barbecue hood before lighting. Never light
your barbecue with the hood closed
•VERY IMPORTANT: Always ensure the regulator is
in the “LOCK” position before turning it on.
•Turn the regulator knob anti-clockwise from “LOCK” to
“OFF” position to unlock the button.
•If using the hose assembly accessory connected to a
9kg LPG cylinder, now open the gas control valve on the
cylinder slowly and smoothly to ensure full gas flow.
•Push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to MED
position then push ignition button 4-5 times, it will light
the burner.
•Adjust the flame by turning to LOW, MED or HIGH
position.
•If burner fails to ignite after following the procedure
above; turn OFF the regulator. Wait 5 minutes. Re-
attempt all of the above steps. If the BBQ still fails to
light, please refer to the Manual Lighting Instructions
•After ignition, turn the burners to the high position for 3-5
minutes in order to pre-heat the BBQ. This should be
done before each cooking session. ALWAYS
REMEMBER TO NEVER LEAVE THE BBQ
UNATTENDED WHEN IN OPERATION.
•After completion of preheating, turn the burners to the
LOW/MED position for best cooking results.
Manual Lighting Instructions
•Open the barbecue hood before lighting. Never light
your barbecue with the hood closed.
•VERY IMPORTANT: Always ensure the regulator is
in the “LOCK” position before turn it on.
•Turn the regulator knob anti-clockwise from “LOCK” to
“OFF” position to unlock the button.

•If using the hose assembly accessory connected to a
9kg LPG cylinder, now open the gas control valve on the
cylinder slowly and smoothly to ensure full gas flow.
•Take away the cooking ware and flame tamer, hold lit
match on the burner
•Turn the regulator control knob anti-clockwise from
LOCK to OFF position to unlock the button.
•Turn the regulator clockwise to MED position. The
burner should light within 5 seconds
Grill Cooking
The burner heats up the flame tamer underneath the grill,
which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food
juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot flame tamer
below and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes
the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique
barbecued flavour.
Plate Cooking
The burner heats the plate directly, which then cooks the
food on contact. Plates allow for the cooking of smaller items,
such as seafood, which could fall through the spaces of a
grill. They are also suitable for cooking items that require
high-temperature / short-duration cooking, such as
vegetables and smaller cuts of fish. Similarly, it can be used
in exactly the same way as a griddle in the kitchen, for
searing steaks, cooking eggs, etc. Alternatively, it can be
used for heating pans or keeping food warm.
Roasting Hood Cooking
Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give the option to
form an ‘oven’ for roasting or baking food, such as joints of
meat or whole chickens, etc. More even cooking of food will
actually be achieved by using the barbeque with the hood
down. However, this should only be done with the
burner on low.
For best results, place the food you wish to bake or roast on
a metal baking tray and set it on one side of the cooking grill.
Close the hood to cook the food. Avoid lifting the hood
unnecessarily as heat is lost every time the hood is opened.
If the hood is opened during cooking please allow extra time
for the barbeque to regain its temperature and complete the
cooking.
If the internal heat becomes too high, turn the burner down
to the low position. It is not necessary or advisable to have
the burner on high when the hood is closed.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT.
Take care when opening the hood as steam can be released
on opening.
Flare-Up Control VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fat and
juices fall upon the hot flame tamer. Smoke 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 trim away
excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling, use cooking
sauces and marinades sparingly and try to avoid very cheap
cuts of meat or meat products as these tend to have a high
fat and water content. Also, the burner 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 flame tamer.
Always protect your hands when handling anything near the
cooking surface of the barbecue and take care to protect
yourself from the flames.
If a fat fire occurs, please see the instructions given below.
Fat Fires
Empty and clean the fire bowl and grease box 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 remove food debris from the fire
bowl and grease box and clean it out. The time between
cleaning may need to be reduced if very fatty foods or cheap
meat products are being cooked. Failure to do this may
result in a fat fire, which may cause injury and could
seriously damage the barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
•If safe to do so, turn the control knob OFF.
•Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle.
•Keep everyone at a safe distance from 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, IT SHOULD
•BE A POWDER TYPE.
•DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY.
•If the fire does not seem 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 minutes. This procedure
will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.
Make sure the hood or lid is open during this process.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have finished using your barbecue, clockwise
turn the regulator button to “OFF” position then turn to
“LOCK” position.
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 components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Do
not leave the barbecue exposed to outside weather
conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.
Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
Never douse the barbecue with water when any of the
surfaces are hot.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your
barbecue, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered
when left outside for any length of time, especially during
the winter months. Heavy-duty barbecue covers and other
accessories are available from your local stockist.
Even when your barbecue is covered for its protection, it
must be inspected on a regular basis as damp or
condensation can form which may result in damage to the
barbecue. It may be necessary to dry the barbecue and the
inside of the cover. It is possible for mould to grow on any
fat remaining on parts of the barbecue. This should be
cleaned off smooth surfaces with hot soapy water.
Any rust that is found that does not come into contact with
the food should be treated with a rust inhibitor and painted
with barbecue paint or a heat resistant paint.
Cooking Surfaces
When the barbecue has cooled, clean it with hot soapy
water. To remove any food residue, use a mild cream
cleaner on a non-abrasive pad. Do not use scouring pads or
