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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
CONNECTING & DISCONNECTING
TO GAS SOURCE
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’.
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).

OPERATION
IMPORTANT
The hood must be in the open position for lighting.
Do not smoke at any time when attempting
to ignite the barbecue burners.
Do not leave the barbecue unattended when

Piezo igniter is faulty Use a long barbecue match inserted
through the hole on under side of
barbecue
Food is not cooking
or is taking too long
Burner has gone out Check that the gas bottle is not empty
and re-ignite the burner
Cooking surface was not given
enough time to warm up before
the food was applied
Remove the food and give the burner time
to warm the cooking surface (5-10 mins)
There is too much food on the
cooking surface
Cook smaller portions
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Cooking
The control knob can be turned from ‘HIGH’ to
‘MED’ or ‘LOW’ depending on the heat required.
With the hood down the 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.
