Hose & Regulator Safety
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with
the barbecue are suitable for Propane Gas or
Universal L.P.G. only.
A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet
pressure of 2.75kPa is supplied for connection to
the propane gas cylinder. The pressure regulator
and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue
must me used. Replacement pressure regulators
and hose assemblies must be those specified by
the barbecue manufacturer.
When connecting the hose and regulator
assembly to the gas cylinder, take care to avoid
unnecessary twisting of the flexible hose.
After the assembly has been secured, turn on
the gas and check for leaks by brushing a soap
and water solution over all connections.
If you are unable to correct the leak by
tightening the connections, turn off the gas and
contact the supplier immediately.
Always ensure the barbecue is kept away from
flammable materials and the gas cylinder clear
of any heat source.
When changing over from an empty gas cylinder
to a full one make sure this procedure is carried
out in a well ventilated location, preferably
outside, away from people and away from any
sources of ignition; such as naked flames, pilot
flames, electric heaters/equipment.
Gas Cylinder Use & Safety
This is a low pressure barbecue and must only
be used with the regulator supplied. Your
barbecue is designed for use with 4.5Kg or 9Kg
propane gas cylinders certified to AS 2469.
The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable
gas supplier and visually inspected and re-
qualified at each filling.
Always keep cylinder in an upright position.
Always close the cylinder valve when the
barbecue is not in use.
Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat.
NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER
INDOORS.
If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS

IF THERE IS A LEAK
• Turn the cylinder off.
• Ventilate the area to disperse gas.
• Check all connections.
• If leak persists, keep the cylinder upright.
Keep skin away from any gas or liquid
escaping from the cylinder.
• Keep the cylinder at least 20 metres
away from any sparks or ignition sources,
including electrical equipment, camera
flashes, engines and motors.
• Disperse gas by encouraging maximum
ventilation and spraying with a fine water
spray.
IF THERE IS A FIRE
• If the fire is at the barbecue, turn the gas
off at the cylinder. Smother the flames
with a wet cloth, fire blanket or extinguish
using a fire extinguisher.
• If the fire is at the cylinder, or you can not
get to the valve to turn the gas off, contact
the fire brigade immediately
• Using a garden hose, direct the water to
the middle of the cylinder to keep it cool.
Try not to extinguish the flame. At least if
the gas is burning, it won’t be able to build
up pressure and explode.
• Failure to comply with these instructions
could result in a fire or explosion which
could cause serious bodily injury, death or
property damage.

injury may occur. Do not store a
spare gas cylinder under or near this
barbecue. This barbecue is only to be
used and stored outdoors.
• If there is a leak on your appliance (smell
of gas) immediately attempt to turn off
the cylinder valve. Remove the appliance
to a well ventilated location away from
any ignition source. Only check for leaks
outdoors using soapy water. DO NOT try

CARE & MAINTENANCE
As with all appliances, proper care and
maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. Your new
gas barbecue is no exception. By following
these cleaning procedures on a timely basis,
your barbecue will be kept clean and working
properly with minimum effort.
Flash-Back
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the burner tubes during
warehousing and transit. These webs can lead
to a gas flow obstruction which could result in
a fire in and around the burner tubes. Cleaning
with a soft brush before use and at least every
six months is recommended.
This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and
can cause serious damage to your barbecue
and create an unsafe operating condition for the
user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not
the only cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most
common cause and frequent inspection and
cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.
If fire occurs in and around the burner,
immediately turn off gas at its source and
turn the burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the
barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner
tubes and burner ports.
Cleaning the Cooking Surface
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’
and let barbecue cool before attempting to
clean the cooking surface. Before first use and
periodically, it is suggested that you wash the
cooking surface in a mild soap and warm water
solution.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the cooking surface is
important. Do not use pans on the cooking
surface. Do not overheat the cooking surface
with the hood down or no food on the cooking
surface.
Cleaning the Drip Tray
To avoid fat or grease dripping from the
barbecue remove and empty the drip tray after
each use. Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch
before disposing of contents.
The drip tray should be washed periodically in a
mild detergent and warm water solution.
• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner
tube should be inspected and cleaned
periodically.
• This appliance must only be serviced by
an authorised person.
• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended
that the drip tray be checked and emptied
regularly. Contents of the drip tray may be
very hot during cooking. If emptied
during extended cooking extreme caution
should be taken and direct contact by
hand should be avoided at all times. Allow
to cool completely before disposing of the
contents.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Connecting & Disconnecting to Gas Source
Familiarise yourself with the general information
and safety guidelines located at the front of this
manual.
Check
1. Gas cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be
heard when shaken.
2. The burner control is in the ‘OFF’ position.
Connecting
1. Ensure valve is in OFF position.
2. Check for any damage to the cylinder
connection. NEVER attempt to use damaged
equipment.
3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder
tighten the nut to a positive stop by hand or
spanner.
4. Open cylinder valve fully. If a leak can be
heard at either end of the hose turn cylinder
off and tighten joint. Wait 5 minutes before
re-testing and use a soapy water solution to
check the joint. If bubbles appear the
connection will need to be re-tightened.
Disconnecting
1. Ensure the burner control is in the ‘OFF’
position.
2. Ensure the gas cylinder is in the full OFF
position.
3. Detach the hose from cylinder.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position push and
turn the control knob anti-clockwise to HIGH.
Check for sparking to the burners.
2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition
point, check for any loose leads at either the
electrode or the ignition pack.
3. Push and turn anti-clockwise to HIGH the
control knob.
4. The side burner cover must be open before
pushing and turning the control knob anti-
clockwise to HIGH.
5. If the burner fails to light after several
attempts turn off the gas supply and
inspect for any obstructions to the gas flow.
If re–ignition is necessary while the gas
barbecue is still hot, you must wait for a
minimum of 5 minutes before commencing to
re–ignite (this allows accumulated gas fumes to
clear).
• IMPORTANT: Before connecting and
disconnecting barbecue to gas source,
make sure burner controls are in ‘OFF’
position.
• CAUTION: When the barbecue is not
in use, the gas must be turned off at the
cylinder.
• Check that the seals between the
appliance and the gas cylinder
are in place and in good condition
before connecting the gas cylinder.
• Do not use this appliance if it has
damaged or worn seals.
• NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails to
produce a spark at the electrode, BBQ
can be lit by a long BBQ match. With hood
open insert ignited match into burner
lighting hole positioned on the right hand
side of the BBQ body (underneath
side shelf). Push and turn the far right
control knob to HIGH. Burner ignition can
be checked through this hole. Subsequent
burners will cross light.
• Check performance of burner prior to
installing BBQ plates.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite
BBQ.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or
other material.
• Always use protective gloves when
handling hot components.
