2.: Function
a) Pilot Gas Control Ignition:
With all gas controls on the Barbecue in the 'OFF' position, turn the gas cylinder valve
to the on position on the regulater. Push in the Barbecue ignition gas control knob and
turn anticlockwise until spring resistance is felt. Hold in this position for 3-5 seconds
to allow gas flow, and then continue to turn anticlockwise to 'HIGH"' position. Keep
the knob pressed in until the burner is seen to be alight. When the burner is alight,
adjacent burners will cross light when their controls are turned to 'HIGH'.
b) Manual Ignition:
With all the gas controls in the 'OFF' position, turn the gas cylinder valve on the regulator
to the on position. Lift out one of the cast iron cooking grills and holding a lighted taper
or gas match alongside the burner, push in and turn the gas control knob for that burner
to 'HIGH'. The burner will light in seconds. Replace the cast iron cooking grille. Once
the first burner is alight, adjacent burners will cross light when their gas controls are turned
to 'HIGH'.
At 'HIGH' setting the burner flame should be approximately 12-20mm long with a
minimum of yellow tipping. Turn the gas control fully anticlockwise for minimum setting.
Should you have any difficulty lighting your barbecue following the above steps, contact
your dealer for advice.

4.: Mounting steps

8
1.: Attach the bbq body on the trolley (see page 7)using “U” brackers provided
2.: The cross lighting tubes (10) are placed on the burner rest and are retained in place
by the locating pegs of the burners. Fit each burner (6) to the barbecue by placing the
neck of the burner over the brass jet of the gas control valve (15)(16). The rear of
the burner is then lowered onto the back burner rest, locating the cast peg on the
underside of the burner into the hole in the burner rest and trapping the cross lighting
tube (10) in place. Repeat for the other burners. Fit the burner retaining clips to the
rear pegs of the burners, from under the burner rest.
Note: The burners should be loose on the gas control nipples. Do not attempt to fix
them tightly or seal them.
3.: Fit the drip pan handle (18) to the front edge of the drip pan (17), using the
screw supplied. Slide the drip pan into place from the front of the barbecue
below the fascia panel. Push it all the way back to its stop. This tray must be
filled before use with an even layer, approximately 10mm thick, of non-combustible,
fat absorbing medium or clean, dry sand. This must be kept clean and loose in
order to absorb fat drippings. If this is not done, it may be possible for the fat
drippings to ignite and burn. Check regularly that the absorbing medium is loose
and clean. Lining the tray with aluminium foil before filling can assist in removal
of the fat soaked absorbing medium. DO NOT USE SAWDUST OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE MATERIAL IN THE GREASE TRAY. Always ensure the tray
is pushed back to its stop point and is not held by the bottom edge of the fascia
panel.
4.: Place the lava rock grid (26) into the barbecue. This rests on the ledges formed on the
front and back panels above the burner. Spread the lava rocks (25) onto the grid in
a single even layer. Place the cast iron cooking grill and hotplate into the barbecue.
These rest on the ledges formed on the front and back panels. The cast iron cookware
should be washed thoroughly in warm soapy water, dried and coated with a liberal
coating of cooking oil before first use.
5.: Attach the raincover handle (3) to the outside and the retainer to the inside of the
raincover (1), using the two self tapping screws provided. The raincover will store
vertically behind the barbecue body when the retainer is hooked over the back panel
of the body, also acting as a windshield.

5.: Preparation
You will need to purchase a Propane bottle with a 27mm clip on valve to operate this barbecue
which can be obtained from your nearest Gas Retailer.
Energy saving tips:
a.: Preheat the barbecue for 5 minutes low then 10 minutes on medium.
b.: Do not preheat longer than recommended.
c.: Do not use a higher setting than required.
6.: Installation
After purchasing your gas bottle you will then be ready to set it up
with your barbecue.
a.: Position the gas bottle at the side of your barbecue, not underneath, keeping in mind
that the bottle must be kept away from heat and in a safe position.
b.: When ready to use your barbecue insert the regulator into the gas bottle valve and
tighten firmly.
Note: Before attempting to light your barbecue you must refer to your lighting instructions
and warning / safety points.
Check the hose before each use, searching for cracking, cuts or any abrasions. If the hose is
found to be faulty in any way do not attempt to use your barbecue.
When changing your gas bottle ensure that there are no sources of ignition close by i.e. fires,
cigarettes, naked flames etc. Make sure that the appliance is switched off.
Ensure that the hose is free from any kinks or bends which will affect the gas flow when using
your barbecue. Also the hose must not have undue tension and must not touch any part of
the barbecue which may be hot.
How to change your cylinder
These cylinders take a regulator which incorporates a switch for the on / off control of the
gas supply. No spanner is required.

How to connect a gas bottle
a.: Turn the orange cap so that the arrow is pointing to the gap in the shroud.
b.: Remove the orange safety cap by pulling the lanyard out, then out. Do not use tools.
Leave the cap hanging.
c.: Check that the black sealing washer is fitted inside the cylinder valve. Place the regulator
down over the valve with switch in 6 o´clock position.
d.: Turn the switch clockwise to the OFF (9 o’clock) position.
e.: To turn gas on turn control counter anti - clockwise on gas bottle - then turn on the
barbecue as instructed.

How to disconnect a gas bottle
a.: Turn the switch clockwise to the OFF (9 o’clock) position.
b.: Except for twin - cylinder installations with a changeover valve, turn off the gas tap if
fitted to the appliance. Wait until the burner and pilot light have gone out.
For installations with a changeover valve, it is only necessary to switch off the empty
cylinder.
c.: Never turn the switch to the disconnect (6 o’clock) position straight from the ON
(12 0´clock) position.
d.: Depress the centre button of the switch. Keeping it depressed turn the switch anticlockwise
to the disconnect (6 o’clock) position and lift off the regulator.
e.: Replace the orange safety cap onto the empty cylinder.

7.: Do not use a naked flame to check for gas leaks.
8.: Do not operate barbecue if there is a gas leak.
9.: Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting part if your barbecue is being used, on the
barbecue or the gas regulator / bottle.
10.: Care is advised when operating your barbecue, you should never leave unattended when
in use.
11.: Only use lava rock in this barbecue, do not attempt to use charcoal.
12.: The barbecue should be cleaned on a regular basis. Take care not to enlarge burner ports
or orifice openings when cleaning the burner or valves.
13.: Do not attempt to use this appliance in a garage or any enclosed area. Also ensure to
keep clear of any combustible materials, etc. We recommend to keep a distance of at
least 0.5 to 1.0 metre clear of any combustible materials.
14.: We would recommend that this barbecue be serviced by your local gas retail outlet at
least once a year by a competent engineer. Do not attempt to service this appliance
yourself.
15.: Do not attempt any unauthorised interference of the main controls on this barbecue, i.e.
gas taps, injectors, valves etc.
16.: After every use, check the drip tray for fat build-up in the sand. Discard any saturated
sand and replace with fresh sand, failure to fill with sufficient clean dry loose sand may
result in a fat fire or excessive flare up. This can severely damage your barbecue and is
NOT covered by the warranty.
17:. Flare ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fats and juices fall upon the hot lava
rock. The smoke from some flare-ups gives the food its barbecues flavour, but excessive
flare up will result in meat being burned. To control flare-ups it is advisable to trim away
excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. Also the burners should always be placed
on a low setting during cooking. Finally extinguish flare-ups by applying baking soda or
salt directly onto the lava rocks. Always protect your hands when handling anything near
the cooking surface of the barbecue.
8.: Safety Precautions
1. Always test gas line for leaks at connector with soapy water after making connections.
2. Use oven gloves and sturdy, long handled barbecue tools when cooking on the grill.
3. Be prepared if an accident or fire should occur. Know where the first aid kit and fire
extinguishers are and know how to use them.
4. Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
5. Always cook with great care.
