Operating Instructions

Before First Use:

• Ensure all packaging materials are removed.
• Perform a gas leak test.
• Burn off any manufacturing residues by heating the barbecue on high for 15-20 minutes with the lid closed.

Lighting the Main Burners:

1. Open the barbecue lid.
2. Ensure all burner control knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Open the gas supply valve on the cylinder.
4. Push in and turn one main burner control knob to the "HIGH" position. You should hear a clicking sound from the igniter.
5. If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the process.
6. Once one burner is lit, you can light additional burners by turning their respective knobs to "HIGH".
7. Adjust flame intensity by turning the control knobs between "HIGH" and "LOW".

Using the Side Burner:

1. Open the side burner lid.
2. Push in and turn the side burner control knob to the "HIGH" position.
3. If the burner does not ignite, repeat the process after waiting 5 minutes.

Cooking Systems:

The Golosone 4 offers both Lava Rock and Australian cooking systems. The lava rocks distribute heat evenly and absorb drippings, reducing flare-ups. The Australian system uses direct heat from the burners. Choose the system based on your cooking preference and food type.
