Danger “Hot surface and parts”
During operation some parts of the barbecue can
become very hot, particularly those close to the fire bowl.
Possible consequences:
Severe burns from touching parts near the fire bowl.
Fire, or smouldering fire, if flammable materials or
substances are near the barbecue.
Safety measures prior to using the barbecue:
Select a place to set up the barbecue so that:
There are not, and will not be, flammable material or
substances nearby or any overhead obstruction
above and at the sides. Allow a minimum of one
metre distance to highly flammable materials or
substances, e.g. walls and fences.
The barbecue is positioned firmly on a sufficiently
large, flat, solid surface area. It must not be moved
during operation.
Do not use the barbecue on a surface that may be
damaged by excessive heat.
Safety measures during barbecuing:
Wear heat-protective barbecue gloves.
Never leave the hot barbecue unattended.
TAKE PARTICULAR CARE TO ENSURE THAT
CHILDREN AND PETS ARE KEPT AWAY FROM
THE BARBECUE.
Never fit the gas bottle right next to the barbecue.
Always place the gas bottle at the rear of the
appliance sited as far away as possible without
straining the hose.
No part of the hose should touch any part of the
barbecue.
Danger “Gas is highly flammable”
Liquid gas is highly flammable and explosive.
Possible consequences:
Serious personal injury or damage to property if
escaping gas ignites in an environment in which it is
not controlled.
Safety measures when using gas:
Only use the barbecue outdoors and ensure that the
area is well ventilated.
Protect the gas bottle and gas hose from direct
sunlight and other heat sources (max. 50°C). Take
special care to ensure that the gas hose does not
touch any part of the hot barbecue.
DO NOT place the gas bottle on the lower shelf,
as it is too near the burner.
DO NOT lean over the barbecue when igniting the
gas flame.
Close the regulator attached to the gas bottle after
each use by turning the lever clockwise. Also turn off
the control knobs (fully clockwise to OFF).
Never leave the hot barbecue unattended. If the
flame extinguishes, relight immediately or cut off the
supply from the gas bottle.
When connecting the gas bottle, ensure that there are
no ignition sources within a 5m radius.
Take special care not to light near any naked flames,
do not smoke or switch on electric appliances
(devices, lights, door bells), etc. as sparkover
possible.
Before each use, check to ensure that all connections
through which the gas is supplied are sealed and
intact.
If necessary, ensure when replacing the hose it
meets with national requirements. Always use
hose-clips to secure the hose to the regulator and
barbecue.
If the connections for the gas supply are porous or
faulty, the barbecue must not be used. This also
applies, for example, to hoses or fittings blocked by
insects, as this can lead to a dangerous flashback.

Assembly Instructions
Before starting:
Here are a few tips to help assemble the barbecue quickly
and successfully:
Check that no parts are missing by placing all of the
individual parts on an empty surface (we reserve the
right to make minor technical alterations, such as the
content of the small parts bag). If, despite careful
factory checks, a component is missing, please
contact the MasterChef Helpline. If the barbecue is
faulty or damaged ensure all the parts are back in the
box and return to the store with your receipt as proof of
purchase.
Carefully sort out the small parts, as some of the
screws and bolts, for example, are very similar and can
be easily confused.
A medium sized screwdriver and a suitable spanner
(flat spanner or box spanner) are required for
assembly.
Make sure all the protective packaging has been
removed before assembling.
Even if not experienced at DIY, it does not generally
take more than one hour when two people work
together on the assembly.
Please note:
Only use tools that are intact and suitable. Worn or
unsuitable tools will not allow sufficient tightening of
the screws and bolts, and will damage them to the
extent that they can no longer be turned.
Always fit all joining parts (screws, bolts, nuts, etc) as
shown in the following illustrations. If a joining part is
misplaced, replace with an appropriate part. Only by
doing this can the construction be strong and safe.
It is essential that the instructions are followed in the
order they are specified!
Read the text for each step before carrying it out, as
useful information is sometimes only provided at the
end of the section.

Connecting and disconnecting
the gas bottle
Gas bottle - Standard LPG gas bottle with weight
between 5kg to 13kg LPG (ie: propane). These are
available from most garden centres, DIY stores and
camping sites.
The following parts are included with the barbecue.
They correspond to the standards applicable in the
country to which they have been supplied.
Gas hose- CE approved hose of sufficient length,
allowing installation without any kinks (length shall
not exceed 1.5m).
Regulator –Preset and CE-approved pressure
regulator, operating pressure suitable for the LP gas
bottle. This type of regulator is also available from
your local gas bottle stockist. It is the easy-use,
clip-on model, compatible with current Calor,
Flo-Gas and other gas bottle suppliers.
Danger “Ignition of escaping gas”
LPG is highly flammable and explosive.
Possible consequences:
Serious personal injury or damage to property if
escaping gas ignites in an environment in which it is
not controlled.
Safety measures:
When connecting the gas bottle, ensure there are no
ignition sources within a 5m radius.
Take special care not to light near any naked flames,
do not smoke or switch on electrical appliances
(devices, lights, door-bells), etc as sparkover
possible.
Ensure the flexible hosing is routed so there are no
kinks and it is not subject to twisting.
Do not obstruct ventilation of the barbecue.
If necessary, ensure that a replacement hose meets
with BS3212 national requirements.

Argos/RSH-013929/012012 16

Connecting the Gas Bottle (fig 1 above)
1. Select a suitable position to set up the barbecue.
Ensure that:
There are not, and will not be, flammable material
or substances nearby, or any overhead
obstruction above and at the sides. Allow a
minimum of one metre distance to highly
flammable materials or substances, e.g. walls and
fences.
The barbecue is positioned firmly on a sufficiently
large, flat, solid surface area. It must not be moved
during operation.
Do not use the barbecue on a surface that may be
damaged by excessive heat.
Never place or fit the gas bottle right next to the
barbecue.
Always place the gas bottle at the rear of the
appliance sited as far away as possible without
straining the hose.
No part of the hose should touch any part of the
barbecue.
2. Never lay the gas bottle on its side or place on the
lower shelf. The gas hose must not be bent or
under tension.
3. Check the gas bottle and the regulator are in good
working order.
4. Turn the operating lever G2 clockwise to OFF, and
push the regulator (G1) down onto the gas bottle
valve (G4) until it clicks.
5. Check it is correctly connected by pulling the
regulator upwards. The regulator must not
disconnect from the bottle valve.
6. Check the connection between the regulator and
the gas hose G5, and the gas hose to the
regulator valve (G3) to ensure they are secured.
7. Open the gas bottle’s valve by turning the
operating lever G2 anti-clockwise to the ON
position.
Checking for Leaks
WARNING: Never check for leaks if there is an
open flame. Listening for leaks is not a reliable
method of detection.
ALWAYS test for leaks when fitting a new gas bottle,
or it has been removed, stored away or not used in the
last month.
Testing for Leaks
NEVER check for leaks with a naked flame.
With the regulator lever in the ON position:
Use a standard gas leak detector (available from DIY
stores and camping sites) to ensure all connections
are tight. Please observe the instructions for the leak
indicator. If there is a leak, tighten the connections and
test again.
An alternative option to check for leaks - brush a
solution of 50:50 water to soap (washing-up liquid can
be used but make sure the solution does not have too
many bubbles before applying) over the regulator and
hose connections. There is a leak if bubbles form over
any of the connections. Immediately turn off the gas
supply and retighten all connections. Repeat the
soap/water test.
If there is still a leak replace the leaking part. Repeat
the leak test to ensure the leak has stopped before
using.
8. If not using the barbecue immediately, close the gas
bottle valve by turning the operating lever G2
clockwise to OFF.
Disconnecting the gas bottle (Fig.2 above)
1. Close the bottle valve by turning the operating lever
G2 clockwise to OFF.
2. Press in the operating lever G2 and pull the
regulator G1 upwards.
3. Store the regulator G1 with the gas hose under the
barbecue. Ensure the hose is not kinked or twisted
in any way.
4. Store the gas bottle correctly:
Fit the gas bottle valve with the safety cap
(supplied with the gas bottle).
Do not store the gas bottle in areas below
ground level, in or near stairways, hallways or
passages for pedestrians, in cars or between
buildings. Always store gas bottles outside.
Always store gas bottles upright, even if they
are empty!

Operating the Barbecue
NB: When using the barbecue for the first time, follow
the instructions below and heat the barbecue for about
20minutes without food so that the food-safe coating is
hardened (as with any barbecue).
Have heat-proof gloves, appropriate meat thermometer
and long-handled barbecue utensils (available from
most DIY stores and garden centres) to hand.
Starting up the barbecue
1. Check to ensure the barbecue is in a suitable
position.
There are not, and will not be, flammable material
or substances nearby or any overhead
obstruction above and at the sides. Allow a
minimum of one metre distance to highly
flammable materials or substances, e.g. walls and
fences.
The barbecue is positioned firmly on a sufficiently
large, flat, solid surface area. It must not be
moved during operation.
Do not use the barbecue on a surface that may be

Care Instructions
Checking
Please note to inspect the barbecue before every
use. The barbecue should be clean and in good
working order.
it is important to replace barbecue parts if they show
signs of fatigue, corrosion or damage.
Please note: Continuing to use an appliance which
is damaged could cause injury or damage to
property.
Cleaning the barbecue
To remove food debris on the grill, keep the grill on for a
further 10-15 minutes after cooking to burn off the
debris.
To ensure the longevity of this barbecue for many years
to come, it should be cleaned after each use with
washing- up liquid, a brush and cloth –ensure that all
parts have cooled down first. It is much easier than
cleaning it at a later stage when the dirt has dried hard.
If the inside surface of the barbecue lid has the
appearance of peeling paint, then baked-on grease
build-up has turned to carbon and is flaking off.
Clean thoroughly with a strong, hot soapy water
solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to
completely dry. NEVER USE OVEN CLEANER.
Cleaning the drip tray
The drip tray (for fat collection) must be cleaned after
every use, as fat is flammable and could cause a fire if
not kept clean, which could lead to injury or damage to
property.
Caution: “Electrode on burner can be bent”
The electrode on the burner can be bent or may snap
off during cleaning.
Possible consequences:
Burner no longer lights.
Safety measures:
Take special care when cleaning the area around
the burner.
Cleaning the gas system
If necessary, the gas outlet jet (under the right hand side
shelf) and the venturi hole can be cleaned with a pipe
cleaner or use an opened up paper clip. All other parts
through which gas is passed may only be cleaned by an
expert.
Never dismantle the valve!
Maintenance
Perform maintenance checks at regular intervals. The
intervals will depend on how often the barbecue is used
and the environment to which it is exposed.
Maintaining the barbecue
Check to ensure that all parts of the barbecue are
present and assembled (visual check).
Check to ensure that all connections are present
and securely fastened; tighten if necessary.
Maintaining the gas system
The gas system needs to be checked every time a gas
bottle is connected (see section “Connecting and
disconnecting the gas bottle”).
If necessary, ensure to replace the hose to meet with
national requirements.
Environment information and disposal measures
To dispose of the barbecue, disassemble it into its
individual parts. Recycle the metal and plastic parts.
