Thank you for choosing a Goldair BBQ. This Goldair BBQ has been designed and
manufactured to a high standard of engineering and with proper use and care, as
described in this leaflet, will give you years of useful service. Please read these
instructions carefully.
READ ME FIRST
- Take 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
assembled with care.
- Before attempting to assemble your Goldair BBQ, ensure all parts are correct and
contained within the box as per the components list.
- Goldair suggests laying out all components on a large flat surface and removing
any plastic or protective material before assembling your BBQ.
- If your BBQ has lockable castors ensure these are locked before attempting to
assemble otherwise the BBQ may move during assembling resulting in injury.
- Do not dispose of packaging until completely satisfied with assembly of your BBQ

CLEANING AND CARE OF YOUR BARBEQUE
Ongoing Maintenance
Your BBQ requires regular maintenance (interior and exterior) to ensure it remains in proper working
order and to maintain its appearance.
Exterior:
Stainless Steel BBQ’s
Overtime grease, fat and other cooking oils may build up on your BBQ. To clean, wash with warm/hot
soapy water. Wash off soapy water with warm/hot clean water, leave to air dry. Apply a stainless steel
BBQ protector to stainless steel surfaces. This will apply a protective coating on the exterior of the
BBQ and assist in repelling the elements.
Stainless steel will rust if you do not look after it properly
From time to time spotting may occur on the exterior of your BBQ. This is normal and is due to
moisture and/or other elements becoming trapped under the cover of your BBQ and building up (it is
highly recommended that all BBQs are stored under an eve with a cover to protect against the harsh
New Zealand elements –any BBQ not stored and covered correctly will not be covered under
warranty). To ensure that spotting and discoloration does not become worse and more visible resulting
in permanent damage to your BBQ, it should be cleaned and removed straight away. This is best done
with a stainless steel cleaner/cutback solution, or if the spotting is larger and harder to remove, use a
stainless steel/metal polish and then a cleaner/solution. Always use a soft cloth to clean your BBQ.
Never use abrasive heavy duty sponges or scouring pads on the exterior of your BBQ, these products
will begin to remove the stainless steel finish resulting in an uneven surface and faster rusting in the
future.

Interior:
Plates and Grills –The best way to clean your BBQ plates/grills is to light-up the BBQ and leave it on
with the hood down to warm-up for 10-15 minutes. After this time, remove excess fat, oils, cooking
residue with paper towels or a cotton rag from plates/grills. This can also be completed after each time
you use your BBQ.
Depending on how often you use your BBQ you should also wash your plates/grills bi-monthly. After
you have completed the steps above and have allowed time for the BBQ to cool, remove the
plates/grills and wash with warm/hot soapy water. Wash off soapy water with warm/hot clean water,
leave to air dry and place back into BBQ.
Warming Rack, Flame Tamers and Drip Tray –Remove and wash with warm/hot soapy water.
Wash off soapy water with warm/hot clean water, leave to air dry and place back into BBQ. For
stubborn stains on your warming rack, soak in hot soapy water.
Burners –Check the port holes of all burners regularly for signs of blockage. Over time fat,
marinades, juices, etc. can build-up and cover port holes. This reduces gas and flame flow and may
result in fires within the BBQ during cooking. Also check for spider and insect webs and/or nests. In
some cases where BBQs have not been used in some time (normally during winter) these webs can
be made within burners and gas lines restricting gas flow and ignition.
NOTE: Never use chlorine based cleaners or bleaches on your BBQ, these products will deteriorate
the surface and contribute to rusting
BBQ Covers –All BBQs must be stored with a BBQ cover when not in use (regardless of whether the
BBQ is stainless steel or powder coated) as per the warranty. After use, allow your BBQ to cool
completely before fitting the cover (the BBQ cover may melt or burn if placed onto a hot BBQ). Also
condensation can occur when the BBQ cools down under the cover which can foster rust growth.
Please note, a cover can foster a “micro-environment” where moisture, salts and fat deposits can
develop. when stored for long periods of time (typically this will occur during the Winter months when
your BBQ is not used). During these longer periods of non-use a BBQ can develop stains and/or rust
marks. It is important to check regularly (monthly) for any signs of these stains/rust and clean if
needed. If surface stains and rust are left, over time they develop and can become very hard to
remove.
Spider and insect webs –Sometimes spiders and other insects climb into the tubes, 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 built up inside gas lines are expressly
excluded from warranty.

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

6
USE OUTDOORS ONLY
This appliance should only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural
convection.
Any outdoor enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:
1. An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at ground level and no
overhead cover. See Figure 1.
2. Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more than two walls.See Figure
2 & 3.
3. Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and more than two walls, the following
shall apply:
- At least 25% of the total wall area is completely open; and
- At least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted. See Figure 4 & 5.
4. In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total of the side, back and front wall areas shall be
and remain open and unrestricted.
The following diagrams provide a diagrammatic representation of outdoor areas. Rectangular areas have been
used in these figures - the same principles apply to any other shaped area

Tools Required:
Assembly steps
1.
2.
3.
Place the four Flame Diffusers over the burners so
when lit the burners distribute flames evenly to the
cooking surface. The Flame Diffusers also act as a
shield for the burners, preventing grease drops which
can cause flare-ups and make your burners difficult to
clean.
Attach the side burner and side table using the screws and washers provided. Ensure
the BBQ hood and handle are firmly attached. Next fit the left and right doors using the
screws and washers provided. Take care when attaching the doors to ensure the
magnets at the top of each door align with the magnets on the door frame.
Remove any protective foam, plastic wrapping or other packaging from inside / around
the BBQ.
Place the BBQ shelves in position on the right hand side of the cabinet.

8
4.
5.
Place the cooking grid in place. For best results, the cooking grid should be placed
directly above the burners which you have covered with Flame Diffusers. Also place the
cooking plate in position so 2/3 of the BBQ’s cooking surface is cooking grid and 1/3 is
cooking plate.
Place the fat tray in position. The fat tray is designed to fit
under the BBQ body by sliding into the cavity beneath the
firebox. Note: We recommend the fat tray is covered with a
coating of sand. This will absorb fat and grease and help
prevent flare-ups.
After several uses the fat tray may become saturated with
cooking residue. To avoid flare-ups it is recommended that
sand be replaced regularly.
CAUTION
THE FAT TRAY MAY BECOME VERY HOT DURING
COOKING. ALLOW THE TRAY TO COOL FULLY
BEFORE REMOVING THE TRAY OR DISPOSING OF
ITS CONTENTS. REMEMBER TO REPLACE SAND
REGULARLY TO AVOID FLARE-UPS.

If any burner fails to ignite, turn the control knob off (clockwise) and also turn the cylinder valve off.
Wait five minutes before attempting to relight with ignition sequence.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before cooking for the first time, operate the Barbeque for about 15 minutes with the lid closed and
the gas turned on HIGH. This will “heat clean” the internal parts and dissipate odor from the
painted finish. (The colour of the BBQ’s cooking area may change a little. This is normal and is due
to the nature of the material)
Clean your Barbeque after each USE. DO NOT use abrasive or flammable cleaners, as these will
damage parts of the product and may start a fire. Clean in warm soapy water only.
ABNORMAL OPERATION
Any of the following are considered to be abnormal operation and may require servicing:
- Yellow tipping of the burner flame.
- Sooting up of grill plates.
- Burners not igniting properly.
- Burners failing to remain alight.
- Burners extinguished by trolley doors.
- Gas valves, which are difficult to turn.

15
Indirect Cooking
Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly to perfection on the grill by indirect heat. The heat from
selected burners circulates gently throughout the grill, cooking meat or poultry without the touch of
a direct flame. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts because there
is no direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.
Indirect Cooking Instructions
·Always cook with the lid closed.
·Due to whether conditions, cooking times may vary. During cold and windy conditions the
temperature settling may need to be increased to insure sufficient cooking temperatures.
2 Burner Cooking
Cook with direct or indirect heat. Best
for smaller meals or foods.
Consumes less fuel.
3 Burner Cooking
Great indirect cooking on low.
Produces slow, even heating.
Ideal for slow roasting and baking.
