MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5
Gas connections on the barbecue are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment
however, a complete gas leak test must be performed during assembly. The
cylinder to regulator connection must be leak tested every time the connection is
made. In order to test for a gas leak, complete the following steps.
1. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water.
GAS LEAK TEST
2. Ensure that the barbecue control knobs and LPG is turned off. Open the LPG
cylinder valve and apply the soap solution to the gas connections using a soft
bristle brush as seen below.
Soap bubbles will appear if there is a gas leak. In case of a leak, turn off the gas
supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on and re-check.
Warning: Do not operate the appliance until all gas leaks have been rectified.
Never complete a gas leak test while smoking.
Note: If there is a leak anywhere on the gas cylinder, do not use the cylinder.
Locate the leaking cylinder outdoors away from sources of ignition, then contact
your local gas authority or cylinder exchange provider to arrange disposal.

GAS EMERGENCY

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7
GENERAL INFORMATION
Note: Before using the BBQ, remove any packaging material within and around
the BBQ supplied for protection during transit.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can
cause property damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operating
and maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this
equipment.
Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the heating and performance of
your BBQ so factor in these elements when positioning your BBQ outdoors for
cooking.
Never use your BBQ in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed
area. Your BBQ is to be used outdoors only,. Do not obstruct the flow of
ventilation air around the BBQ. This BBQ is not intended to be installed in or on
recreational vehicles and/or boats.
Warning: accessible parts may be very hot. Keep young children away.
Do not move the appliance during use.
Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.
Do not replace the grill with an extra hotplate. The warranty will become null and
void.
The normal flow of gas through the Regulator and Hose Assembly can create a
humming sound. A low volume of sound is perfectly normal and will not interfere
with operation of the BBQ. If humming sound is loud and excessive you may
need to purge air from the gas line.
Do not store gas cylinders below ground level. LP gas is heavier than air so if a
leak occurs the gas will collect at a low level and could ignite in the presence of a
flame or spark.
You must have the correct gas cylinder, regulator and hose for this BBQ to
operate safely and efficiently. Use of an incorrect gas cylinder, regulator or hose
is dangerous and will void the warranty on this product.

CUT OUT DIMENSIONS
The cut out must be made from non-combustible material only.
IN STA LL ATIO N
The 400mm tall, non-combustible rear splashback is not necessary provided there
is no combustible material within 500mm of the rear of the BBQ.
If the BBQ is supplied with a duplicate data label, apply this label in the immediate
vicinity of the BBQ in an easily accessible area.
Combustion air openings are at various locations around the BBQ firebox. The
cutout dimensions explained above must be met to ensure there is adequate space
for entry of air for satisfactory combustion.
Gas vapour is highly explosive and can cause serious bodily injury or damage to
property if allowed to accumulate in a confined space and ignited. If you choose
to build an enclosure to house an LPG cylinder, at least one side of the enclosure
shall be completely open, and ventilation must meet the minimum requirements of
AS5601.1.
INSTALLATION WITHOUT
SIDE BRACKETS
The side brackets can be removed if preferred.
In this case, the BBQ shall rest on the built in
rails below the BBQ.
INSTALLATION WITH OPTIONAL
SIDE BRACKETS
The side brackets allow a simple method of
installation where the BBQ can simply rest on
two pillar like structures.

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 17
CONNECTION TO LPG
GAS LEAK TESTING
Gas leak testing, mentioned earlier in the manual, must be done the first time you
connect up the BBQ, and whenever the LPG cylinder is re-connected to the BBQ.
Always inspect the hose at regular intervals to check for cracks or abrasion.
CONNECTING THE LPG CYLINDER
1.
2.
Connect the regulator to the LPG cylinder and tighten the connection. The two
types of connections can be seen below.
Turn the gas on at the cylinder, or make sure gas is available to the BBQ, but
do not turn the burners on. This fills the gas lines with gas. Now brush or pour
some soapy water onto all connections. If there is a leak, bubbles should appear
within about 20 seconds. If you find any leaks, tighten the connection and
repeat the leak test. If the leaks persist, contact your place of purchase.
WARNINGS
DO NOT USE NAKED FLAME FOR LOCATING GAS LEAKS
IF A LEAK PERSISTS, CALL AND AUTHORISED PERSON
DO NOT USE THIS BBQ UNLESS ALL CONNECTIONS ARE GASTIGHT
In the case of a problem arising with the hose and regulator please contact your
BBQ supplier for a list of approved replacement parts.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Lighting the BBQ is easy, but must be done with due care.
Make sure the LPG cylinder is filled.
Make sure that gas is turned on at the cylinder, or that gas is available to the
BBQ.
Check that the end of each burner tube is properly located over each valve
orifice.
Make sure all gas connections are securely tightened.
Open the hood or side burner lid.
-
-
-
-
-
-
BEFORE STARTING
With the hood or side burner lid open, place a lit match or long stem gas lighter
close to the burner you wish to light. Be cautious of the position of your hand
and ensure it remains a reasonable distance from the burner. Turn the control to
the “High” position. The burner should light. If it fails to light, return the control to
the “OFF” position and try again in five minutes.
-
MANUAL IGNITION (in case of lighting failure from BBQ ignition)
The BBQ burners are equipped with automatic ignition. It works by throwing a
flame to the side of the burner to light. Push the knob in and turn anticlockwise
to the high position. You should hear and feel a click from the knob. Hold the
knob in and observe the flame extend towards the side of the burner. When the
burner ignites, release the control knob. If the burner doesn’t light on the first
attempt, return the knob to the “OFF” position and try several more times. If the
burner still does not light, wait a few minutes to allow the gas to disperse before
trying again.

FLAME THROWER IGNITION OF BBQ BURNERS
TYPES OF IGNITION

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 19
USING THE BBQ
CONTROLLING THE FLAMES
The knobs have three basic positions. You can achieve any flame height between
low and high by rotating the knob between these positions.
OFF HIGH LOW
NOTE: ‘Light back’ is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner,
towards the front, recognized by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner.
It is not dangerous unless allowed to persist. If this occurs, simply turn the
burner off, wait a few minutes, and then relight.
IMPORTANT: Please add sand or fat absorption granules to the grease tray
before first use.
We recommended you wash the cooking surfaces with soap and warm water
before use.
The cooking plates are vitreous enamel coated and they do not require seasoning
like most other BBQs.

COOKING FOR THE FIRST TIME

USING THE SMOKER BOX
The following steps are guide to getting
good lasting smoke from the wood
chips in your smoker box.
1.
2.
3.
With the hood open and the burners
off, slide out the smoker box and fill
with your favourite wood chips.
Ensure the smoker box is not over
filled and the lid can close fully before
sliding back into the BBQ.
Ignite burners 3 and 4 (seen in the
below image on either side of the
smoker box) and turn to a medium
setting. Ensure the hood of the BBQ
remains open during this step.
Leave on medium for approximately
10 - 15 minutes or until you see white
smoke wafting from the grill plates.
When smoke has been achieved,
turn off burner 3, turn burner 4 to low
and turn on burner 1 to low. At this
stage, the lid of the BBQ can now be
closed and is ready for smoking your
favourite food.
You will receive approximately 20 - 25
minutes of smoke time. This depends
on the weather conditions and type of
wood chips used.
The smoker box can be refilled
at anytime. Be sure to use high
temperature gloves as the smoker box
will be very hot.
