Goldair Antares GBQ275 User manual

Operating Instructions
Antares 4 Burner BBQ with Side Burner
Model: GBQ275

SPIDER AND INSECT WEBS
Extremely important please read
Some times spiders, ants and other insects climb into the tube burners, gas lines and other areas
of the BBQ. The insects can spin webs, build nests and lay eggs. The webs or nests can be very
small, but they are very strong and can block the flow of gas.
To avoid this occurring, clean burners prior to use, after storing, at the beginning of your BBQ
season or after a period of one month without use.
Guards are on the air intakes in an effort to reduce this problem, but it will not eliminate it. An
obstruction can result in a “flashback” (a fire in the burner tubes).
The burner may still light, but the obstruction does not allow full gas flow to the burners.
NOTE: Complications arising from spider and insect webs build up inside gas lines and tube
burners are expressly excluded from Warranty

BBQ
Please read these instructions & user manual carefully.
oTake extra care when unpacking and assembling your Goldair BBQ. Some edges
may be sharp from the manufacturing process and may result in cuts if not handled
with care.
oBefore attempting to assemble your Goldair BBQ, ensure all parts are correct and
contained within the box as per the components list.
oGoldair suggests laying out all components on a large flat surface and removing any
plastic or protective material before assembling your BBQ.
oIf your BBQ has lockable castors ensure these are locked before attempting to
assemble otherwise the BBQ may move during assembling resulting in injury.
oDo not dispose of packaging until completely satisfied with assembly of your BBQ
Please refer to your user manual for operating instructions, further information or trouble
shooting before you call the Customer Service number listed within the user manual.
oLid must be in open position before lighting.
oWhen cooking with hood closed, all burners should be on low and never exceed
maximum temperature of 250ºC (450ºF).
oCaution: hood maybe hot, avoid contact.
oWarning all surfaces are hot.
If your BBQ has any Stainless Steel please note the following:
Note: Stainless Steel will rust.
Failure to store with a BBQ cover, and to clean & maintain your BBQ regularly will result
in Stainless Steel ‘tea staining’ & rusting. Consequently it will not be covered by the
warranty.
Goldair recommends the use of stainless steel protectors & cleaners to also pro-long the
life of your BBQ.
For use with ULPG.
Please refer to your user manual.

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.
When to Test:
The BBQ gas bottle, regulator & hose assembly should be checked for leaks, using the soapy
water leak test, every time you reconnect your regulator to the BBQ gas bottle. You should also
test after any long period of non-use, such as at the beginning of BBQ season.
What to use:
You will need a soapy water solution to check for any leaks. Mixing liquid hand soap with water
will work fine (do not use any other household cleaning products).
To complete a 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 concentration as washing up water).
•Turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob to the 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
•The gas hose
•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

Safety Guide
•Do not operate this BBQ before reading the instruction booklet.
•Do not place articles on or against this BBQ.
•Do not use or store flammable or combustible materials, chemicals or spray
aerosols near your BBQ.
•Do not operate this BBQ indoors; the BBQ is for outdoor use only.
•Do not obstruct any ventilation of the BBQ.
•Do not light or operate with cover on.
•Never store a spare ULPG cylinder under or near your BBQ.This could cause
excess pressure to be expelled through the relief valve resulting in fire,
explosion, or severe personal injury including death.
•ULPG gas is heavier than air and will collect in low areas, proper ventilation is
extremely important.
•Keep the ventilation opening of the ULPG cylinder enclosure free and clear
from obstruction and debris.
•Do not insert any foreign objects into the valve outlet. Damage may result,
causing a leak, possible explosion, fire, severe bodily harm or death.
•Children and adults should be alerted to the hazards of high surface
temperature, burns and clothing ignition.
•Never leave children unattended in the area where the BBQ is being used.
•Do not store items of interest to children around, below or in the shelf of the
BBQ.
•Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the BBQ.
•Some users prefer cooking on Hotplates. You must always have at least 1 Grill
plate to ensure adequate air flow. Fully covering your BBQ will create a safety
hazard.
