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!
Most likely leak areas:
Bleed Screw Gas Hose
(not in image)
Main Connection
Valve Stem
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.

MOVING THE BARBECUE
It is recommended to remove the LPG cylinder from the base of the
barbecue, and all cookware from the firebowl to make the barbecue
easier to lift and move.
To move the grill, adhere to the following steps:
1) Lift the edge of the side table and pull it gently outwards to the
limit of its travel.
2) Lower the side table such that it sits against the side of the trolley
3) Grasp the joint between the front and rear plates of the furnace
body with both hands and lift it up to push the grill.
Always fold the side table before lifting to move the grill. Do not move
the grill by lifting the side table. This places undue stress on the
side table and its hinge, which could lead to premature failure. Any
consequential damage will not be covered by the product’s warranty.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Do not obstruct any of the ventilation openings in the barbecue
body. Also, position the gas supply cylinder inside the trolley, 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. Use a gas bottle sized
between 5kg minimum and 9kg maximum. 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.

NATURAL GAS CONVERSION KIT
A natural gas conversion kit is available for purchase to allow the
barbecue to be connected to, and run off, natural gas piping. Once
converted, the barbecue would no longer be able to run using ULPG.
For more information, please contact your local dealer or Masport’s
customer services team.
The conversion of LPG barbecues to NG should only be
undertaken by a fully licensed/registered gasfitter as
determined by New Zealand authorities and those of the
individual states of Australia. Failure to follow this important
instruction could result in serious injury or damage and will
deem Masport’s warranty null and void.
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.

1918
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. Ensure that the hood is open.
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, refer to the troubleshooting guide in
this manual or consult your retailer before proceeding.
Note: Failure to follow the lighting procedures correctly can lead to a
hazardous situation.
MAIN BURNER LIGHTING (INTEGRATED IGNITION)
1.Open the lid before igniting the barbecue
2.Check all the knobs are in the “•” (OFF) position

prevents accidental activation of the knob
4.From the “•” (OFF) position, push in then turn the control knob
anti-clockwise to the “ ” (ON) position until hearing a “click”
sound
5.Repeat step 4, 3-4 times until the burner is lit
6.If the burner fails to light, turn off and wait for 5 minutes, then
begin from step 4
7.Once a burner is lit, similarly light the remaining burners.
8.Turn the knob anticlockwise to adjust the heat. Heat can be
adjusted on a continuous scale where:
• 90 degrees to the left is the lowest burner setting
• 180 degrees, vertically down is the highest burner setting
FOR MANUAL LIGHTING (MAIN BURNER)
IMPORTANT
Use a match holder and long match stick or BBQ lighter
for lighting the BBQ manually to avoid burning your hand.
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 control
knob anticlockwise to the “ ” (ON) position.
5. Hold a lit match (in a match holder) next to one of the main
burners. The burner will light from the match.
Once a burner is lit, the burner next to it can be turned on and will
light off the lit burner. Repeat until all burners are alight.
Each burner can be adjusted. Turn the knob anticlockwise to adjust
the heat from High - medium - Low to your heat requirement.
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.
• 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
Push in then turn each burner control knob clockwise to the “•”
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 “•” 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 it
from atmospheric conditions.
LED KNOBS
This knobs on this barbecue are equipped with LED lights. To operate
the LED lights, three charged AA batteries must be installed in the
battery box. Batteries are not included with the barbecue. To turn the
LED lights on and off, press the toggle switch on the left-hand side
of the fascia.
GRILL COOKING
The natural juices produced during cooking fall into the body below
and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it
travels upwards, imparting that unique barbecue flavour.
FLAT/FLAT-RIBBED PLATE
The burners heat the griddle plate directly, which then cooks the food
on contact. 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 the reverse faces of the left and right cookware.
The centre plate will not be secure, risking damage to the
barbecue or injury.
COOKING AND USE OF HOOD
The barbecue is equipped with a roasting hood, giving 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-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fats and juices
fall. 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.
WARNING!
• Caution / Danger: Extreme care is required when cooking
with hood in closed position. Temperature of the BBQ must be
closely monitored to ensure it remains at a safe level.
• Too much heat can cause fire.
To look after your BBQ, do not cook with the Hood down at High
temperature for long periods of time. Use the BBQ cover when
BBQ is not being used to protect it from photo-degradation in direct
sunlight.

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.
While 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, the barbecue 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 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 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.
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
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.
BURNER MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT
The stainless steel burners do have a limited 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.
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.
GREASE CUP
After every use, check the grease cup 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 such negligent damage 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
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 the supplied 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 data plate of the
BBQ, found on the rear of the BBQ frame. If you require any further
assistance with your barbecue from your local dealer or Masport,
please have this serial number handy as it will allow us to quickly
identify the barbecue.
