4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Before First Use
Before cooking, operate the barbecue on high heat for 10-15 minutes with the lid closed to burn off any manufacturing residues and season the grates.
4.2 Lighting the Burners
- Ensure the gas cylinder valve is fully open.
- Open the barbecue lid.
- Push in and turn one of the main burner control knobs (Figure 3) to the HIGH position.
- Press the ignition button (if separate) or continue holding the knob for integrated ignition until the burner lights. You should hear a 'click' and see a flame.
- Once lit, release the knob. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the process.
- Repeat for other main burners, the Power Zone burner, and the side burner as needed.

4.3 Temperature Control
Adjust the heat by turning the control knobs between HIGH and LOW settings. The integrated thermometer in the lid (Figure 4) provides an approximate internal temperature reading of the cooking chamber.

4.6 Shutting Down
When finished cooking, turn all burner control knobs to the OFF position. Close the valve on the gas cylinder. Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning or covering.
5. Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your barbecue.
5.1 Cleaning the Grill Grates
After each use, while the grill is still warm, brush the grill grates with a stiff wire brush to remove food residue. For deeper cleaning, remove grates and wash with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reinstalling.
5.2 Cleaning Burners
Periodically inspect burner ports for blockages caused by food debris or insects. Use a wire brush or a stiff wire to clear any debris from the burner holes. Ensure gas ports are clear for proper flame distribution. Never use water on hot burners.
5.3 Exterior Cleaning
Wipe exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For stainless steel parts, use a specialized stainless steel cleaner to maintain shine and prevent corrosion. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the finish.
5.4 Storage
When not in use for extended periods, disconnect the gas cylinder and store the barbecue in a dry, protected area. Consider using a weather-resistant grill cover to protect it from the elements and prolong its lifespan.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your gas barbecue.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Burner does not light | No gas supply, clogged burner port, faulty igniter, gas cylinder empty. | Check gas cylinder level and ensure valve is open. Clear burner ports. Check igniter electrode and wire for damage or misalignment. Replace gas cylinder if empty. |
| Low flame or uneven heat | Low gas pressure, clogged burner ports, regulator issue, partially closed gas valve. | Ensure gas cylinder valve is fully open. Clean burner ports. Inspect regulator and hose for damage or kinks. Reset regulator if necessary (refer to regulator instructions). |
| Gas leak detected (smell of gas, bubbling with soapy water) | Loose connections, damaged hose/regulator, faulty gas cylinder valve. | Immediately turn off gas at the cylinder. Tighten all gas connections. Replace damaged hose or regulator. If leak persists, do not use the barbecue and contact a qualified technician or Tepro customer service. |
