BEFORE USING YOUR BARBECUE
Leak Testing
• IMPORTANT – PERFORM LEAK TEST BEFORE USE
• NEVER use an open ame to test for leaks at anytime, DO NOT IGNITE The BARBECUE DURING THE
LEAK TESTING.
• To be performed in a well ventilated area.
• Conrm all the control knobs are in the o position.
• Check for leaks by brushing a solution of 1/2 water and 1/2 soap over all the gas system joints, including
all valve connections, hose connections and regulator connections.
• Ensure soap solution has been applied to all connections – connect the regulator to the gas cylinder,
open the gas control valve on the regulator allowing gas to ow.
• OBSERVE – if bubbles form over any part of the joints there is a leak.
• Turn o the gas and tighten all joints

assistance.
• Leak test annually and whenever the gas bottle is removed or replaced.

USING YOUR BARBECUE
Connecting to the Cylinder
• Conrm all barbecue control knobs are in the o position.
• Connect the regulator to the gas bottle according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s instructions.
Before Cooking
• Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the WARNINGS section of this manual.
• Before cooking for the rst time, wash cooking grills and operate barbecue for 30 minutes on medium setting.
• Note: When cooking for the rst time, paint colours may change slightly as a result of high temperatures.
This is normal and should be expected.
• Preparation before cooking – To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking grill, please apply a light coat of
cooking or vegetable oil to food before placing on grill.
Lighting the Barbecue
• Turn on gas supply at gas cylinder.
• Push control dial in and slowly turn to “ ” position.
• If burner does not light, return to OFF position and try again.
• Once ignition has occured, hold dial in for at least 10 seconds to ensure the burner stays lit.
• If burner does not light or stay lit after holding dial in for 10 seconds, turn the dial to OFF position and wait for
1 minute and try again. Do not continuously hold the dial in as you may cause a build up of gas.
• In windy conditions shield from wind to ensure easy lighting.
• Turn control dial to alter burner settings as required.
• After ignition, the burners should be burned at the high position for 3-5minutes in order to preheat the
barbecue. This process should be done after every cooking session. IMPORTANT - The hood should be open
during preheating.
• After completion of preheating, turn burners to low position for best cooking results.
Manual Lighting Instructions
• Remove the cooking grill and vapour bar from barbecue.
• Place a lit match beside the burner (at the same location as the sparker shield).
• Push and turn the right most control knob anti-clockwise to the high position.
• After successful lighting, light each burner from left to right as desired using built in cross lighting system.
• If burner fails to ignite after repeated attempts, contact the help line number stated in this manual.
Rotisserie Cooking
• When using Rotisserie, remove the warming rack.
• The Rotisserie Motor requires 2 x D batteries.
• To turn on, switch Rotisserie Motor to “on” position.
• When rotisserie cooking, the burners directly under the food should be OFF.
• A pan should be placed under the meat to prevent excess juice/fat collecting in the barbecue
• The hood should be closed for rotisserie cooking.
Grill Cooking
The Vapour bars evenly distribute the heat across the cooking grill area. The natural food juices produced
during cooking fall onto the hot vapour bars below and vapourise. Even cooking of food will be
achieved by using the barbecue with the hood down. This should only be done with the burners on low setting.
Side Burner Cooking
Lighting Instructions
Open side burner lid and repeat Lighting The Barbecue step above.
Flare-Up Control
IMPORTANT – FLARE UPS CAN OCCUR FROM RESIDUE FAT AND JUICES DRIPPING ONTO THE BURNERS
AND HOT VAPOUR BAR. To reduce this, regularly clean the burners and vapour bar. To control are-up, it is
advisable to trim away excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. The burners should always be placed
on the low setting during cooking. Always protect your hands when handling anything near cooking surface of
the barbecue.

End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the ‘high’ position and burn for 5 minutes. This
procedure will burn o cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. Do not use any abrasive materials.
Turning O Your Barbecue
When you have nished using your barbecue, turn all control valves fully clockwise to the ‘O’ position, and
then switch o the gas at the bottle. Wait until the barbecue is suciently cool before closing the hood.
AFTER COOKING

• 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 or the venturi tubes of the
burners tted over the valve outlets.
Vaporising Bar
• Clean the vaporising bars with soap and warm water using a low abrasive cleaning cloth or sponge!
Grease Tray

fat residue to build up in the tray.
• NEVER – Use without sand in the grease tray.
Barbecue Body

• Remove cooking surfaces and burners before full cleaning.
• Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water.
• Check burner operation after carefully retting into body.
Fixings
