GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Connecting & Disconnecting to Gas Source
IMPORTANT: Before connecting and disconnecting
barbecue to gas source, make sure burner controls
are in ‘OFF’ 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 burner controls are in the ‘OFF’ position.
Connecting
1. Ensure cylinder valve is in off position.
2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder connection or
the hose. NEVER attempt to use damaged equipment.
3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the nut
by hand.
4. Open cylinder valve fully. 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.
Disconnecting
1. Ensure the burner control is in the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Ensure cylinder valve is in the off 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 ‘OFF’ position before opening the cylinder valve.
Regulator Safety Feature
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas cylinder
to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature included that
restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak called an Excess
Flow Valve. 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. If the gas regulator safety feature
activates, the barbecue will operate with reduced output as gas
flow is restricted.
The regulator supplied with this BBQ is equipped with a safety
mechanism called an Excess Flow Valve. To avoid tripping this
device, which will prevent full gas requirement reaching the
BBQ, it is vital that the following actions are taken prior to
igniting the BBQ.
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.
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1. Open the hood of the barbecue before attempting to light
the burners.
2.Turn all the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.
3.Turn the cylinder valve on slowly and smoothly.
4. Push down and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to “HIGH”.
Press the ignition button rapidly several times until the burner
is lit. Observe if the burner has lit and if not, repeat this process.
5. If the burner fails to ignite after several attempts turn off gas
supply at cylinder valve and the control knob off (clockwise).
Wait five minutes before attempting to relight with
ignition sequence.
6. Following successful ignition, light the remaining burners in
sequence, turn control knobs anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’.
7. Adjust the heat by turning each control knob to the
‘HIGH’/’LOW’ position.
8. To turn the barbecue ‘OFF’ turn the cylinder valve to the
‘OFF’ position, then turn the control knobs on the barbecue
clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.
Note: If for some reason, ignitor fails to produce a
spark at the electrode, barbecue can be lit by a long
barbecue match or using the match holder supplied.
With hood open insert lighted match into match
lighting hole positioned on the left side of the BBQ
body (underneath side shelf). Push and turn far left
control knob to ‘HIGH’. Burner ignition can be
checked through this hole. Subsequent burners will
cross light.
If re-ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue is still hot,
you must wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before
commencing to re-ignite (this allows accumulated gas fumes
to clear).
Check performance of burner prior to installing
barbecue plates.
Do not smoke when attempting to ignite barbecue.
Never use volcanic rock, heatbeads or other material.
Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.
1. Prior to opening the gas cylinder valve, make sure all BBQ
control valves are in the “off “ position.
2. Next, open the gas cylinder valve, opening the first half-turn
slowly, before opening the gas tap fully as fast as you like.
