OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Do not obstruct any of the ventilation openings in the barbecue
body. Also, position the gas supply cylinder inside the cabinet, in
the cylinder base positioning hole. Should you need to change
the gas cylinder, confirm that the cylinder is off, and that there are
no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near
before proceeding. Be sure to inspect the gas hose and ensure it
is free of any twisting or tension. The hose should hang freely with
no bends, folds, or kinks, which could obstruct free flow of gas.
Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch
any hot barbecue parts. Inspect the hose before use. If the hose
is damaged, it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use with
ULPG and meet the national standards for the country of use. The
length shall not exceed 1.5m. Should minimum clearances not
be adhered to severe flare up may be experienced due to lack of
airflow around the barbecue, thus voiding manufacturer’s warranty.
GAS AND REGULATOR INFORMATION
This barbecue is designed for LP gas use only. Bottle sizes of 4.5kg
or greater are recommended for use with this barbecue. Suitable
LPG regulators must have an outlet pressure of 2.75 kPa. You must
have the proper regulator and bottle in order for the barbecue to
operate safely and efficiently. Please consult your local gas dealer
for the most suitable gas cylinders. Please note the regulator
supplied with this barbecue is of an approved type.
The manifold thread type is 5/8” x 18.
For more information on pipe sizing, please refer to AS/NZS 5601 /
AG601.
The gas cylinder must always be stored or used in an upright
position.

Protector Cap
FIXING THE POL GAS REGULATOR TO THE CYLINDER
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off position.
Hand-tighten the regulator supplied with this barbecue to the gas
cylinder by screwing in an anti-clockwise direction.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
As the regulator is fitted with a soft nose, it should only be tightened
a further 1/4 turn after resistance is first felt.
Leak Testing
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).
How to Test: Put some soapy water in a spray bottle or a dish.
Turn on the gas bottle but do not turn on the BBQ. Next, spray
the entire valve, regulator and hose assembly with the soapy water
including where the hose connects to the BBQ. Alternatively, you
can apply the soapy water with a paint brush, basting brush.
Bubbles will form if there is a gas leak and you may also smell the
gas. If you find a leak, turn off the gas bottle immediately!
Do not turn back on or attempt to use the BBQ if a gas leak has
been detected, contact your local BBQ Dealer for repair.
Operation
WARNING!
Before proceeding, be certain you understand the safety
information contained in this manual.
This barbecue is not designed to be used with more than
66% of the cooking area as a solid plate. Full coverage of
plates will cause excessive build-up of heat and damage
the barbecue.
• Never leave burners on high for more than 10 minutes unless
actually cooking. If the burner makes hissing sounds when lit, it
may be burning inside. Turn burner off, allow it to cool and try
again.
• Close the gas cylinder valve after each use.
• Never use plastic or glass utensils on the BBQ
• Never use the BBQ in strong winds
• Never lay the gas cylinder down (always keep upright)
• Never allow the flexible gas supply hose or any electrical cord to
come in contact with any heated surface of the BBQ.
• Never lean heavily on the side shelves of your BBQ or attempt to
transport your BBQ by lifting it from the side shelves.
• Before you start cooking for the first time, clean the BBQ
thoroughly with hot soapy water. This is necessary to remove
residuals and solvents, oil and grease, which may have remained
from the manufacturing process. The hotplate and grill should be
thoroughly cleaned in the same manner.
NOTE:
Before using the barbecue for the first time, the barbecue
must be lit and burning for 30 minutes on the “low”
setting.
IMPORTANT
The regulator supplied with this BBQ may incorporate an
Excess Flow Control Safety Device. The Excess Flow Control
will activate to prevent gas flow should a regulator malfunction
occur. It is important that the BBQ operator understands that all
gas valves on the BBQ are closed in the OFF position prior to
opening the gas cylinder valve. If the BBQ valves are open prior
to opening the cylinder valve, the Excess Flow Control will be
activated and prevent the BBQ from being lit. To reset, close the
BBQ valves and gas cylinder valve, wait for 1 minute and use
correct lighting procedure as detailed below.
LIGHTING THE BBQ
Lighting the BBQ is easy, but must be done with due care.
Make sure that the gas is turned on at the cylinder, or that gas is
available to the BBQ. Also, if your BBQ has a roasting hood, ensure
that the hood is up.
SPARK IGNITION
Push the knob control in and turn anticlockwise to the high position.
You should hear clicking as the igniter creates sparks to light the
gas. Once lit, release the igniter button.
DIFFICULTY LIGHTING
If the burner doesn’t light first go, check the gas controls and
try a couple more times. If the burner still does not light, wait a
few minutes to allow the gas to disperse before trying again. If
satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, consult your retailer
before proceeding.
Note: Failure to follow the lighting procedures correctly can lead to
a hazardous condition.

5. If burner fails to light, turn off and wait 5 minutes, then try again.
If burner still does not light after repeated attempts, call your
local dealer for assistance.
REAR BURNER LIGHTING
1. Open the lid before igniting the barbecue.
2. Check all the knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Open the gas control valve at the gas cylinder.
4. Operate the rear burner knob in combination with the electronic
ignition push button on the side burner table.
5. From the “OFF” position, push in then turn control knob anti-
clockwise to the “High ( )” position.
6. Keep the knob pushed in at the “High ( )” position for 4
seconds whilst pressing the electronic ignition push button.
7. Repeat the steps from beginning, 3-4 times until the burner is
lit.
8. Once the rear burner has ignited keep the knob pushed in at
the “High ( )” position for 20 seconds until stabilized then
release the rear burner control knob.
9. If the burner fails to light, turn off and wait for 5 minutes, then
repeat the steps from beginning.
10. Turn the knob anticlockwise to adjust the heat from High ( )” –
"Medium" – “Low ( )” to your heat requirement.
FOR MANUAL LIGHTING (REAR BURNER)
1. Open the lid before igniting the barbecue.
2. Check all the knobs are in the “OFF” position.
3. Open the gas control valve at the gas cylinder.
4. From the “OFF” position, push in and then turn the rear burner
control knob anticlockwise to the High ( )” position.
5. Hold a lit match (in a match holder) next to rear burner. The
burner will light from the match.
FOR REAR BURNER: LP gas takes longer time to travel from
the valve to the rear burner. Keep the knob pushed in at the
High ( )” position for a further 20 seconds until stabilized, then
release the rear burner control knob. Repeat from step 4, 3-4
times until the burner is lit.
6. If the burner fails to light, turn off and wait 5 minutes, then
begin from step 4.
IMPORTANT
When the rear burner is lit for the first time, both the
rear burner and the gas pipe going from the valve to the
burner (from the front to the rear of the BBQ) needs to be
charged with gas for a successful ignition. Push the Rear
Burner knob in and slowly turn anti-clockwise and note
when ignition (click) sound is heard. Repeat the action
but stop turning just prior to the ignition click, keeping
the knob depressed (in) for approximately 10 seconds to
allow the gas to flow to the rear burner, then complete
the turn to ignite the gas. Lighting the rear burner may
not occur in the first instance, repeat if the first ignition
fails.
NOTE:
The Infrared Rear Burner is configured to only burn on
High ( )”.
IMPORTANT
Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply
valve and check the connections before each use.
WARNING!
• Do not light the grill if odour of gas is present.
• It is important to ensure that all control valves, including the
gas cylinder, are turned off after use.
• When using the rear burner and rotisserie use 1 or 2 of the
main burners at the low heat setting if a little extra heat is
required.
• Do not use the rear burner in combination with main burners
on high heat setting when the hood is closed.
• Caution / Danger: Extreme care is required when cooking
with hood in closed position. Frequent checks must be
undertaken for the heat and temperature to ensure safe
cooking.
• Too much heat can cause fire.
TURNING OFF A BURNER
To turn a burner to the 'OFF' position, it's a two step action. (1) Turn
the knob clockwise to High ( )” (2) then push in the knob and turn
clockwise to the 'OFF' position.
TURNING OFF YOUR BARBECUE
When you have finished using your barbecue, turn off the gas at the
bottle. Push in and then turn all the control valves fully clockwise to
the “OFF” position. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before
replacing the barbecue lid or closing its hood. Once cooled, a
protective cover should always be fitted to the barbecue to protect
your investment from the ailments when not in use.
WARMING RACK
Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or
to warm items such as bread rolls. Always check that your warming
rack is properly fitted before use.
GRILL COOKING
The burners heat up the flame tamers underneath the grill, which
in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural juices produced
during cooking fall onto the flame tamers below and vaporise. The
subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards,
imparting that unique barbecue flavour.
FLAT PLATE / FLAT-RIBBED PLATE
The burners heat the griddle plate directly, which then cooks the
food on contact. These allow for the cooking of smaller items, such
as seafood, which could fall through the spaces of a grill. They
are also suitable for cooking items that require high-temperature/
short-duration cooking, such as vegetables and smaller cuts of fish.
Similarly, these can be used in exactly the same way as a griddle in
the kitchen, for searing steaks, cooking eggs, etc.
DO NOT use both the plate and deep dish at the same time.
This will cause your BBQ to overheat and could cause a fire.
COOKING AND USE OF HOOD
Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give the option of
cooking with hood closed to form an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such
as joints of meat, whole chickens, etc.
WARNING!
Cooking with the hood closed and the burners on high creates
a fire risk. When the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is
trapped inside the barbecue. Thus, it is IMPORTANT to make
sure that all the burners are turned to the low position to prevent
burning of the food and damaging the barbecue. Avoid lifting the
hood unnecessarily as heat is lost every time the hood is opened.
Use the temperature gauge to check the heat of the barbecue.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT. A
BARBECUE SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED
WHILE COOKING!
For safety reasons, barbecue plates and grills will not cook as hot
towards the front of the barbecue.
FRONT
The slightly lower temperature at the front can easily be overcome
by rotating the food being cooked around the barbecue plate or
grill.
FLARE-UP CONTROL
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fats and juices
fall upon the flame tamers. The smoke from some flare-up helps
give cooked meat its barbecued flavour, but excessive flare-up will
result in meat being burned. To control flare-up, it is advisable to
trim away excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. Also, the
burners should always be placed on the low setting during cooking.
Finally, extinguish flare-ups by applying baking soda or salt directly
onto the flame tamers. Always protect your hands when handling
anything near the cooking surface of the barbecue.
If a fat fire should occur in the drip tray, turn all knobs to the off
position, turn off the gas at the bottle, and wait for the fire to go out.
Do not pull out the drip tray or douse with water.
COOKING USING OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
ROTISSERIE COOKING (OPTIONAL)
Centrally secure the food with the rotisserie prongs, turning the
rotisserie rod by hand to test for balance, adjust the food position
if required. Insert pointed end of rod into the motor, test that
everything is running correctly.
Using the Rear Burner for roasting on a barbecue can be different
depending on our preferences. A suggestion might be to use 1-3
of the main burners to cook the roast and then use the Rear Burner
towards the end of the cooking to “brown up” the roast. Using
the Rear Burner by itself to do the cooking can take a long time
depending on the size of the roast.
Do not use the rear burner in combination with main burners on
high heat setting when the hood is closed.
WARNING!
• Caution / Danger: Extreme care is required when cooking
with hood in closed position. Frequent checks must be
undertaken for the heat and temperature to ensure safe
cooking.
• Too much heat can cause fire.
1. Carefully remove the cast iron cooking surfaces and the
warming rack from the barbecue.
2. Place the flame tamers to the centre of the barbecue body. It is
over this area that the meat will be cooked.
3. Slide one of the spit forks onto the spit rod and tighten its
thumb screw to secure it into place. Insert the pointed end of
the spit rod into the meat being cooked and slide the meat
towards the centre of the rod. Make sure the fork is fully into
the meat. Slide the other fork onto the rod, into the meat, and
tighten the thumb screw once in place. For optimal rotisserie
cooking, food must be placed securely onto the middle of the
spit rod and balanced so that the rotisserie can rotate freely
without interference from any barbecue surfaces. Any loose
sections of meat should be secured so they do not hang down
and interfere with the rotation of the spit rod.
4. Insert the pointed end of the spit rod into the motor. Lay the
other end of the spit rod onto the opposite bracket.
5. Light the barbecue.
6. Turn on the rotisserie motor to begin rotisserie cooking. The
hood has been designed so that it may be closed during
rotisserie cooking.
7. Always cook foods on the lowest flame setting to avoid burning
or overcooking.
8. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT.
A BARBECUE SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED
WHILE COOKING!
9. If cooking with rotisserie using indirect heat (not using burners
directly under meat - oven style cooking), a baking dish (not
supplied on some models) can be placed under the food to
catch fats and drippings.

Care and Maintenance
Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially
after extended periods of storage. Ensure the barbecue and its
components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Do not leave the
barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp,
moist areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
Whilst our products are made to the highest standards and all care
is taken to make them as weather proof as possible, we cannot
accept responsibility for rust occurring on exposed metal parts
unless this is a result of faulty manufacture of parts.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your
barbecue, we strongly recommend that the unit is covered when
not in use, especially during the winter months.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE AND CLEANING ADVICE
Cleanliness and stainless steel are closely related. Stainless steel
performs best when clean - cleanliness is essential for maximum
resistance to corrosion and to maintain the good looks and life of
your BBQ.
TYPES OF SURFACE CONTAMINANTS
Fingerprints and Stains
Fingerprints and mild stains resulting from normal use are the most
common surface contaminates. They can be removed with a glass
cleaner or with a soft rag. This should be followed by a thorough
warm water rinse.
DIRT
Like any surface that is exposed to the environment especially in
coastal areas, stainless steel can get dirty. Cleaning with warm
water with or without a gentle detergent is sufficient. Next in
order are mild non-scratching abrasive powders such as typical
household cleaners. These can be used with warm water, nylon
bristle brushes, sponges, or clean cloths. Carbon steel brushes or
steel wool should be avoided as they may leave particles embedded
on the surface which can lead to RUSTING. Cleaning should always
be followed by rinsing in clean hot water.
GREASE
Grease may soil stainless steel surfaces in food preparation. These
soils may be mildly corrosive if left or may not allow the surface
to maintain passivity, and so regular removal is a necessity for the
appearance.
TYPES OF CLEANERS AND METHODS
Consider the possibility of scratching and the potential for post-
cleaning corrosion caused by incompletely removed cleaners. Avoid
using abrasive cleaners unless absolutely necessary.
CLEAN WATER AND WIPE
A soft cloth and clean warm water should always be the first choice
for mild stains and loose dirt and soils. A final rinse with clean
water and a dry wipe will complete the process and eliminate the
possibility of water stains.
HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS
Household cleaners fall into two categories: detergent (non-
abrasive) and abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners are more
effective but introduce the possibility of scratching the surface. A
neutral cleaner low in chloride is essential. The cleaning method
generally employed with these cleaners is to apply them to the
stainless surface and follow by cloth wiping in the direction of the
grain or polish lines (not across them). The cleaned surface should
be thoroughly rinsed with clean water and wiped dry with a soft
cloth if water streaking is a consideration.
CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL IN YOUR BBQ
Your BBQ features Stainless Steel components. All Stainless
Steel grades require a level of care and protection to retain their
appearance. Stainless Steels are not immune to corrosion and
neither are they maintenance-free, contrary to popular public
perception. Even the highest marine grades of Stainless Steel
require frequent cleaning to avoid oxidation and other corrosive
issues.
Modern tastes dictate that your BBQ features Stainless Steel with a
brushed finish. This brushed finish is attained by running Stainless
Steel sheets through an abrasive process that removes the mirror
finish and leaves the brushed finish. Brushed-finish Stainless
Steel requires frequent cleaning and care, to maintain its quality of
appearance. Without adequate care it is realistic to expect that it will
show signs of corrosion in time.
Stainless steel is definitely not a maintenance-free material.
Cleanliness and Stainless Steel are closely related.
The cleaner stainless steel can be kept while in storage or during
use, the greater the assurance of optimum corrosion resistance. In
order to maintain the good looks and life of your BBQ, follow these
summary tips on the care of stainless steel:
• When new or when cleaned and dried, we recommend the
owner apply a thin coat of Olive Oil to stainless steel surfaces
which should then be polished in. The Olive Oil will help greatly
in protecting the stainless steel from corrosive contaminants and
assisting removal of finger prints and other marks, keeping the
appearance of the stainless steel in new condition. The Olive Oil
coating also makes further polishing easier.
• Use clean, soft cloths or sponges to clean your grill.
• Carbon steel brushes or steel wool should never be used.
• Do routine cleaning of exposed surfaces.
• After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Cleaning with chloride-containing detergents must be avoided.
• On polished finishes, rubbing or wiping should be done in the
direction of the polish lines, NOT across them.
• Care must be taken when cleaning the fascia. Printed information
may be erased with heavy cleaning.
CAST IRON COOKING SURFACES
Before cooking with the grill, flat plate or deep dish (if supplied with
your BBQ) clean these with hot soapy water to remove any oil or
residue from the packaging or manufacturing process. Wash with
clean water and let the plates dry naturally. Prior to lighting your
BBQ place them back into the BBQ. Then after lighting your BBQ,
let the plates warm up slowly over a period of 30 minutes, during
this time increasing the heat. You will notice slight vapors rise from
the plates, this is natural as residues are burned off. Turn off your
BBQ to allow the plate to cool slightly. The plates can now be
prepared with the addition of cooking oil. Take care that the plates
are not at a temperature where adding the oil will cause a hazard.
Brush the oil over the plate, allowing the oil to be absorbed into the
surface. Allow the plate to fully cool, then remove any excess oil. the
BBQ is now ready. Repeat the above to keep the plate and grill in a
ready condition after each BBQ session.
PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKING SURFACES
Porcelain Enamel surfaced items should be treated with care and
should not be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner or scratchy cleaning
item. Surfaces will crack or chip if hit or dropped. Porcelain Enamel
surfaces should NOT be regarded as ‘Non-stick’, use of cooking
oil is required as normal. Food will likely stick to an overheated or
un-oiled enamel surface. The surface will be more easily cleaned by
first soaking overnight.
BURNER MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
Provided that they are operating correctly, in normal usage, burning
off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean. The
burners should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenever
heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of
blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes, the primary
air inlet, or the neck of the stainless steel burners. Use a pipe
cleaner to clear obstructions. When refitting the burners, be careful
to check they are positioned as follows. The neck of the burner fits
over the valve outlet, the top flaps of the gas collector boxes fit over
the top surfaces of the burners.
Both the stainless steel burners and flame tamers do have a defined
operating lifespan, these products are often exposed to cooking
marinades and extreme heat in an area of the barbecue which can
be neglected during regular cleaning.
Replacement parts are available from your local barbecue dealer.
CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY
Follow these instructions to clean and / or replace parts of burner
assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.
1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP Tank.
2. Remove cooking grates and grease tray.
3. Remove cotter pins from beneath each burner “foot” using a
screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.
We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one
easiest for you.
(A) Bend a stiff wire( a light weight coat hanger works well) into a
small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube and burner
several times.
(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (DO NOT use
a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube and
burner several times.
(C) Wear eye protection: use an air hose to force air into the burner
tube and out the air ports. Check each port to make sure air comes
out each hole.
5. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue
and dirt.
6. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper
clip.
7. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion
some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are
found replace burner.
VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must re-engage valve openings.
See instructions below.
8. Carefully replace burners.
9. Replace cotter pin beneath each burner.
10. Replace grease tray and cooking grates.
SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!
Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and cause
the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous
condition, which can cause a fire to occur, thereby damaging the
grill and making it unsafe to operate.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately
after any of the following conditions occur:
• The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing
yellow.
• The BBQ does not reach temperature.
• The BBQ heats unevenly.
• The burners make popping noises.
NOTE:
Cooking with the rear burner allows the food to “self baste” as it
is turned, any excess juices will fall into the baking dish.
Your BBQ is safe to use with the hood closed however the internal
temperature must be checked. Cooking with the rear burner is
designed to be a slow cooking process, this allows the food to be
succulent. External temperatures and breeze will effect the internal
temperature, as a guide this should be around 165°C to 180°C.
NOTE:
• Vegetables and herbs can be placed into the baking dish,
these items will cook/flavour the food at the same time.
• When using the rear burner and rotisserie use 1 or 2 of the
main burners at the low heat setting if a little extra heat is
required.
WARNING!
• Do not use the rear burner in combination with main burners
on high heat setting when the hood is closed.
• Caution / Danger: Extreme care is required when cooking
with hood in closed position. Frequent checks must be
undertaken for the heat and temperature to ensure safe
cooking.
• Too much heat can cause fire.
DRIP TRAY
After every use, check the drip tray, drip pan, and foil pan for fat
build-up. Failure to maintain these areas could result in a fat fire or
excessive flare up. This can severely damage your barbecue and is
not covered by the warranty.
BARBECUE BODY
WARNING!
Not cleaning the barbecue can pose a fire risk!
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body with
a soft plastic or wooden scraper. It is not necessary to remove all
the grease from the body. If you need to clean fully, use hot soapy
water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Remove cooking
surfaces and burners before full cleaning. Do not immerse the gas
controls or manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully
refitting into body.
FIXINGS
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a
regular basis.
END OF THE COOKING SESSION
After each cooking session, turn the BBQ burners to the High ( )”
position and burn off for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off food
residue, thus making cleaning easier.
STORAGE
Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with
aluminium foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from
collecting in burner holes. A protective cover should always be fitted
to the barbecue to protect your investment from the elements when

2726
not in use. If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas bottle should always be
stored outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children tamper with the bottle.
To protect your investment it is recommended that BBQs are protected by a suitable BBQ cover. But please note that prior to using a
protective cover, the BBQ should always be cool, cleaned of any surface contaminant or dirt and be thoroughly dry. Failure to follow this
information can lead to a BBQ cover being a corrosion breeder rather than a protective tool.
NOTE:
If leaving your BBQ covered for long periods, occasionally check for
corrosion and insect habitation. Oil surfaces for extra protection.
SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number of your barbecue is located on the side panel. If you do require any further assistance with your barbecue from your local
dealer or Masport, please have this serial number handy as it will quickly allow us to identify the barbecue.
