Setup and Assembly

Follow these steps for initial setup and assembly:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for potential future transport or storage.
2. Attach Side Tables: Slide the removable side tables into their designated slots on either side of the barbecue body until they click securely into place.
3. Insert Cooking Grills: Place the porcelain-enamelled cast iron cooking grills onto the supports inside the barbecue body. Ensure they sit flat and are properly aligned.
4. Install Drip Tray: Slide a disposable drip tray into the catch pan located beneath the cooking box. This collects grease and food debris.
5. Connect Gas Bottle (LPG):
   • Ensure the gas bottle valve is closed.
   • Connect the regulator hose to the gas bottle valve. Hand-tighten firmly. Do not use tools.
   • Check for gas leaks using a soapy water solution on all connections. Bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, turn off the gas, tighten connections, and re-test. Do not operate if a leak persists.

Pre-heating

2. Ensure the control knob is in the "OFF" position.
3. Open the gas bottle valve.
4. Push and turn the control knob to the "START/HIGH" position.
5. Press the igniter button repeatedly until the burner ignites. You should hear a "whoosh" sound and see a flame. If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the ignition process.
