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.

With the gas bottle lever in the ON position (“FLAME” sign on G2 facing upward) and the control knob pointing
between position B and C, the gas flows through the gas hose (G5) and the setting device (behind the front panel) into
the burner.
While turning each control knob from position A to B, sparks will be emitted from the electrode on the burner which
then ignites the gas. The heat output can be adjusted for the burners by turning the control knob to positions (B) for
maximum and (C) for minimum heat.

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, 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 (e.g. 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 LPgas
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.
Do not 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.

Tesco/RSH014348/022012 17

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.

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 approximately 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. If there is still a leak replace the leaking part.
Repeat the leak test to ensure the leak has stopped
before using.

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 damaged by excessive heat.

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.
