GAS LEAK TESTING
It is important that you leak test the BBQ before first use and every time the gas
cylinder is refilled and reconnected to the BBQ.
To Complete Leak Test
• Make sure all the control knobs are OFF.
• In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent/soap.
• Mix the solution well (about the same concentrate as washing up water).
• Turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob to open position.
• Using a brush or spray bottle apply the soap solution to the gas line and each
join in the gas line including:
- the gas connection at the inlet of the BBQ
- all gas hose connections
- the gas connection at the gas cylinder
• If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak.
• If the leak is at the connection, re-tighten and re-seal.
• If the leak is anywhere else or you cannot resolve the leak by tightening the
connection DO NOT PROCEED.
• Replace gas hose and regulator.
• Replacement hose and regulators can be purchased from your local BBQ
retail specialist.
1. Add soap and water to spray bottle or soapy water with brush. 2. Turn off gas valves.
3. Turn gas cylinder on. 4. Spray or apply soapy water
on gas connections.

Hose & Regulator Safety
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with

A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet
pressure of 2.75kPa is supplied for connection to
the propane gas cylinder. The pressure regulator
and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue
must be used. Replacement pressure regulators
and hose assemblies must be those specified by
the barbecue manufacturer.
When connecting the hose and regulator
assembly to the gas cylinder, take care to avoid
unnecessary twisting of the flexible hose.
After the assembly has been secured, turn on
the gas and check for leaks by brushing a soap
and water solution over all connections.
If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening
the connections, turn off the gas and contact the
supplier immediately.
Always ensure the barbecue is kept away from
flammable materials and the gas cylinder clear of
any heat source.
When changing over from an empty gas cylinder
to a full one make sure this procedure is carried
out in a well ventilated location, preferably
outside, away from people and away from any
sources of ignition; such as naked flames, pilot
flames, electric heaters/equipment.
Gas Cylinder Use & Safety
This is a low pressure barbecue and must
only be used with the regulator supplied. Your
barbecue is designed for use with 4.5Kg or 9Kg
propane gas cylinders certified to AS 2469.
The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable
gas supplier and visually inspected and re-
qualified at each filling.
Always keep cylinder in an upright position.
Always close the cylinder valve when the
barbecue is not in use.
Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat.
NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER INDOORS.
If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS
disconnect the gas cylinder first and store the
cylinder safely outside.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well
ventilated area out of reach of children, and must
not be stored in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area.
Check the cylinder collar to ensure the test date

Familiarise yourself with the general information
and safety guidelines located at the front of this
manual.
Check
1. Gas cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be
heard when shaken.
2. The burner control is in the ‘OFF’ position
Connecting
1. Ensure valve is in OFF position.
2. Check for any damage to the cylinder
connection.
3. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve.
4. Use a soapy water solution to check the joint.
If bubbles appear the connection will need to
be re-tightened.
IMPORTANT
• 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 cylinder must be
disconnected.
• Check that the seals between the
appliance and the gas cylinder are in place
and in good condition before connecting
the gas cylinder.
• Do not use this appliance if it has
damaged or worn seals.
• NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails
to produce a spark at the electrode,
barbecue can be lit by a long barbecue
match with hood open insert the match
into a hole on the underside of the
barbecue and turn gas control to high.
• Check performance of burner prior to
installing barbecue plates.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite
barbecue.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or
other material.
• Always use protective gloves when
handling hot components.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position check
the piezo igniter by pushing in and rotating
the control knob anti-clockwise. Check for
sparking to the burner.
2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition
point, check that the ignition lead is firmly
attached to the control and sparker tip.
3. With sparking established open the cylinder
valve, push and turn the control knob to
‘HIGH’.This BBQ has flame thrower ignition so
you will see a large flame at ignition and once
you release the control knob the flame will
become normal.
4. If the burner fails to light after several attempts
turn off gas and inspect for obstructions to
gas flow.
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).

OPERATING PROCEDURE
Cooking
The control knob can be turned from ‘HIGH’ to
‘MED’ or ‘LOW’ depending on the heat required.
With the hood down only 1 burner shall be used
and that 1 burner must only be used on ‘LOW’.
Servicing
Servicing should be conducted every year or
sooner if required.
The appliance must only be serviced by an
authorised person.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. Your new gas
barbecue is no exception. By following these
cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your
barbecue will be kept clean and working properly
with minimum effort.
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the burner tubes during
warehousing and transit.
These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction
which could result in a fire in and around the
burner tubes. Cleaning with a soft brush
before use and at least every six months is
recommended.
This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and
can cause serious damage to your barbecue and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only
cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common
cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the
burner tubes is necessary.
Flash-Back
If fire occurs in and around the burner,
immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the
burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the barbecue
has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and
burner ports.
Cleaning the Cooking Surface
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean the grill
plate or grate. Before first use and periodically,
it is suggested that you wash the grill plate and
grate in a mild soap and warm water solution.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the cooking surface is important.
Do not use pans on the cooking surface. Do not
overheat the cooking surface with the hood down
or no food on the cooking surface.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue
remove and empty the drip tray after each use.
Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch before
disposing of contents.
The drip tray should be washed periodically in a
mild detergent and warm water solution.
IMPORTANT
• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner
tube should be inspected and cleaned
periodically.
• This appliance must only be serviced by
an authorised person.
• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended
that the drip tray be checked and emptied
regularly. Contents of the drip tray may
be very hot during cooking. If emptied
during extended cooking extreme caution
should be taken and direct contact by
hand should be avoided at all times. Allow
to cool completely before disposing of the
contents.
