BEFORE USE CHECK FOR LEAKS
After the connection is made between hose assembly and BBQ valve, a leak test
must be performed before the BBQ can be operated to check the connections are
gas-tight.
Never check for leaks with a naked flame, always use a soapy water solution
TO CHECK FOR LEAKS
Make 1 cup of leak detecting solution by mixing one part washing up liquid with 3
parts water.
Ensure the control value is “OFF”.
Connect the regulator to the cylinder ensuring that the connections are secure then
turn ON the gas.
Brush the soapy solution onto the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you have a
leak, which must be rectified by tightening the connections before use.
Retest after fixing the fault
Turn OFF the gas at the cylinder after testing.
If leakage is detected and cannot be rectified, consult your gas dealer.

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.
Familiarize 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 BBQ control knobs 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
on the regulator to the cylinder valve by hand.
4. Slowly and smoothly open the 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 BBQ control knobs are 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.
Lighting the Barbecue Main Burners
• Open the barbecue hood before lighting. Never light
your barbecue with hood closed.
• VERY IMPORTANT: Always ensure all BBQ control
knobs are in the “OFF” position before slowly and
smoothly opening the gas control valve on the LPG
cylinder.
• The ignitor is built in to the valve, To ignite each burner
simply push and turn the desired control knob
anti-clockwise to the high position. You will hear the
valve click as it sends a spark to the pilot flame. The
pilot flew will ignite and send a long flame down the
side of the BBQ burner to ignite it.
• Repeat this process to ignite the remaining burners as
required.
• If burner fails to ignite after following the procedure
above; turn all the BBQ control knobs to OFF position.
Close the LPG cylinder valve. Wait 5 minutes. Re-attempt
all of the above.
Operation
Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the
GENERAL INFORMATION section of this manual.
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.
Prior to opening the gas cylinder valve make sure all
BBQ control valves are in the “OFF” position.
Next open the gas cylinder valve opening the first half
turn slowly and smoothly before opening the gas valve
fully.
Preparation before cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking surface
please us a long handled brush to apply a light coat of
cooking oil or vegetable oil before each barbecuing
session.
Line the drip tray with aluminum foil then place a uniform
layer of clean dry sand or non-flammable kitty litter 1cm
deep into the tray. This will absorb excess cooking fat
making clean ups easier.
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 control knob must
be in the ‘OFF’ position before opening the
cylinder valve.
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
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. If the gas
regulator safety feature activates, the barbecue will
operate with reduced output as gas flow is restricted.
These steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator
safety device:
1. Ensure the barbecue hood is open.
2. Turn gas cylinder valve off
3. Turn off all control knobs.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve all the way. Do not
put excessive force on the valve at the full open position,
to avoid damaging the valve.
9. Light barbecue as per the instructions provided.

14
steps. If the BBQ still fails to light, please refer to the
Manual Lighting Instructions.
• Confirm each burner is alight before attempting to light
another burner.
• After ignition, turn the burners to the high position for
3-5 minutes in order to per-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 position for best cooking results.
Manual Lighting Instructions
• Open the barbecue hood before lighting. Never light
your barbecue with hood closed.
• VERY IMPORTANT: Always ensure all BBQ control
knobs are in the “OFF” position before slowly and
smoothly opening the gas control valve on the LPG
cylinder.
• Insert lit match through the match lighting hole on the
left or right side of the barbecue and place near left or
rightmost burner.
• Push and turn the applicable control knob anti-clockwise
to high position. The burner should light with 5 seconds.
• When the burner is lit, turn the remaining burners on
one-by-one from left to right or right to left.
• If for some reason the ignitor fails to produce a spark at
the electrode, the side burner can be manually lit.
• Lift open the side burner cover.
• VERY IMPORTANT: Always ensure all BBQ control
knobs are in the “OFF” position before slowly and
smoothly opening the gas control valve on the LPG
cylinder.
• Strike and carefully place a match approximately 1-2cm
from the burner.
• Push and turn the side burner control knob
anti-clockwise to the high position. The side burner
should ignite within 5 seconds.
• If the burner does not light after 5 seconds, turn the
control knob to OFF position and wait a few minutes for
the gas to dissipate before repeating the above
procedure to re-ignite.
• If the side burner does not light with the first few
attempts of match lighting, there is a problem with the
gas supply. Turn off the gas at the burner and LPG
cylinder. DO NOT attempt to operate the grill until the
problem is found and corrected. See “Trouble Shooting”
section at the rear of this manual for extra help.
Grill Cooking
The burners heat up the flame tamers 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 flavor.
Plate Cooking
The burners heat 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 times 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
Barbecue 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 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 metal baking tray and set it on one side of the cooking
grill.
Turn the burner directly under the food to the OFF position
and turn all other burners to a LOW to MEDIUM position.
Close the hood to cook the food ‘indirectly’. 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 barbecue to regain its temperature and
complete the cooking. Use the temperature gauge (if
applicable) to monitor the heat of the barbecue.
If the internal heat becomes 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 steam can be released on
opening.
Warming Rack
Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food
warm or to warm items such as bread rolls. It is advisable
to place food (particularly fatty foods) to the front of the
warming rack to avoid the possibility of juices and fat
running down the back of your barbecue. Always check that
your warming rack is properly fitted before use.

15
When refitting the burners , be careful to check that the
neck of the burner fits over the valve outlet.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present on the
burners. I rust appears between uses or in storage, clean
with a soft brass wire brush.
Flame Tamers
Remove any food residue from the flame tamer surface with
a plastic or wooden scraper or brass wire brush. Do not use
a steel scraper or wire brush. Clean with hot soapy water
and rinse well.
Drip Tray
After every use empty and clean the drip tray (and foil liner,
if applicable) of any fat particles, using a plastic or wooden
scraper if necessary.
Failure to keep it clean and excessive build up can result in
a fat fire. This can be hazardous and severely damage the
barbecue. This is not a fault in the barbecue and is there
fore not covered be the terms of the warranty. If required,
the tray can be washed in hot soapy water.
Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue
body using a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water and dry
thoroughly. Excess fat and food debris can be removed
from inside the body using a soft plastic or wooden scraper.
It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. If
you need to clean fully, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or
nylon-bristled brush only. Do not use abrasives. Remove
cooking surfaces and burners before full cleaning. Do not
immerse the gas controls or manifold in water. Check
burner operation after carefully refitting into body.
Barbecue Hood and Control Panel
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad and clean with hot, soapy
water. Do not use scouring pads or powders as they can
permanently damage the finish. Pay particular attention to
the section called “Care and Protection of Stainless Steel
Surfaces”.
Fixings
All screws and bolts etc. should be checked and tightened
on a regular basis.
Storage
Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled before covering or
storing. Store your barbecue in a cool dry place.
Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent
insects or other debris from collecting in the burner holes.
If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must
be disconnected and left outside. The gas bottle should
always be stored outside, in a dry well-ventilated area,
away from any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let
children tamper with the bottle.
When using the barbecue after extended periods of storage
follow the cleaning procedures.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CARE AND PROTECTION OF STAINLESS
STEEL SURFACES
Your BBQ features Stainless Steel components, using
moderate grade stainless steels.
All Stainless Steel grades require a level of care and
protection to retain their appearance. Stainless Steels are
not immune to corrosion and neither are they
maintenance-free, contrary to popular public perception.
Even the highest marine grades of Stainless Steel require
frequent cleaning with fresh water to avoid oxidation and
other corrosive issues.
Modern tastes dictate that your BBQ features Stainless Steel
with a brushed finish. This brushed finish is attained by
running Stainless Steel sheets through an abrasive process
that removes the mirror finish and leaves the brushed
finish. Brushed-finish Stainless Steel requires frequent
cleaning and care, to maintain its quality of appearance.
Without adequate care it is realistic to expect that it will
show signs of corrosion in time.
Stainless Steel is definitely not a maintenance-free
material. Cleanliness and stainless Steel are closely
related.
After assembly, we recommend that owners apply a thin
layer of Olive Oil with a clean cloth, to all exposed
Stainless Steel areas. This should then be polished in and
buffed off with another clean cloth to a non-oily finish. This
process will aid protection against dirt and other corrosive
contaminants, by providing a temporary food-safe shield.
The Olive Oil layer also makes later polishing and removal
of fingerprints easier. This process should be repeated
frequently when cleaning your grill.
You may have bought a protective cover for your BBQ. It
is recommended that a BBQ cover should be used at all
times when the BBQ is not in use to protect your investment.
However it is vital to understand that unless the BBQ is
cool, clean and dry when the cover is fitted, use of a
cover can in fact be detrimental. A cover placed on a
warm, wet or unclean BBQ (or any mix of these factors) can
in fact be a very effective corrosion breeder!
For this reason, the BBQ should always be cool, cleaned
of any surface contaminants or dirt and be thoroughly
dry before a protective cover is fitted. This is especially
important before a BBQ is stored for any length of time i.e.
if the BBQ doesn’t get frequent use, or when the BBQ is
stored away over winter months.
In order to maintain the quality of the finish of your
Stainless Steel BBQ, the owner must be vigilant with care
and maintenance according to this advice
Look after your investment carefully and it will serve you
well for many years to come.
