Cylinder Mounting

1. Place the cylinder into the hole in the bottom panel.
2. Use the angled steel chain to secure the cylinder in place.

Gas and Regulator Instructions

• The cylinder should be positioned underneath the main barbecue body and stored upright.
• Gas cylinders should never be stored or laid on their side.

Leak Tests

IMPORTANT – PERFORM LEAK TESTS BEFORE USE

Always leak test the unit annually, when dismantled, when parts are replaced, or if the gas cylinder is removed or replaced.

• Never use an open flame to check for leaks at anytime. DO NOT IGNITE THE BARBECUE DURING LEAK TESTING.
• To be performed in a well-ventilated area.
• Be sure all control knobs are in the `OFF' 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 the 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 flow.
• OBSERVE – if bubbles form over any part of the joints there is a leak.
• Turn off the gas and tighten all joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form again, do not use the barbecue. Please contact your local dealer for assistance.

User Instructions

Preparation Before Cooking

• To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking grill, please use a long-handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session.
• Note: When cooking with your barbecue for the first time, the paint on the outside may change colour slightly due to high temperatures. This is normal.

Lighting the Barbecue

1. Open the barbecue hood (2)/top lid (14).
2. Ensure all knobs are in the `OFF' position (7).
3. Unscrew ignition button (8) and insert an AA battery, positive end facing outwards. Screw ignition button (8) back into place.
4. Open the barbecue hood (2)/top lid (14) and turn on gas supply at the gas cylinder.
5. Turn burner control knob (7) to the `HI' position.
6. Press and hold ignition button (8) to ignite the burner flames. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn burner control knob (7) to `OFF', wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.
7. In windy conditions, shield from wind to ensure easy lighting.
8. Once ignition has occurred, turn control knob (7) to lower or raise heat as required.
9. After ignition, the burners should be burned at the `HIGH' position for 3-5 minutes to preheat the barbecue. This process should be done before every cooking session. IMPORTANT - The hood should be open during preheating.
10. After completion of preheating, turn burners to `LOW' position and cook with the hood in the down position for best cooking results.

Manual Lighting Instructions

• Remove the cooking grill (4) and vapor bar (5) from the barbecue.
• Place a lit match beside the burner (6) (at the same location as the sparker shield).
• Push and turn the rightmost control knob (7) anti-clockwise to the `HIGH' position.
• After successful lighting, light each burner from left to right as desired.
• If a burner fails to ignite after repeated attempts, contact the help line number stated in this manual.

Grill Cooking

The vapor bar evenly distributes the burner flame across the cooking grill area. Natural food juices vaporize when dripping onto the hot vapor bar. Even cooking is achieved by using the barbecue with the hood down. This should only be done with the burner on `LOW'.

Flare-Up Control

IMPORTANT – FLARE UPS CAN OCCUR FROM RESIDUE FAT AND JUICES DRIPPING ONTO THE BURNERS AND HOT VAPOR BAR.

• To reduce this, regularly clean the burners and vapor bar.
• 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 the cooking surface.

Covered Cooking

Keep the hood closed when you grill to ensure heat circulates evenly. With the hood closed, the gas barbecue cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the hood shows the cooking temperature inside. Avoid lifting the hood to look inside during cooking as heat will be lost.

End of Cooking Session

After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the `HIGH' position and burn for 5 minutes. This procedure burns off cooking residue, making cleaning easier.

Turning Off Your Barbecue

• Push the control knob (7) in and turn to the `OFF' position.
• Turn the gas off and disconnect at the cylinder when not in use.
• The regulator must be disconnected when the barbecue is not in use.
• Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing the hood.

Food Safety

• Always wash your hands before and after handling uncooked meat and before eating.
• Always keep raw meat away from cooked meat and other foods.
• Before cooking, ensure barbecue grill surfaces and tools are clean and free of old food residue.
• Do not use the same utensils to handle cooked and uncooked foods.
• Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before eating.

CAUTION – eating raw or undercooked meat can cause food poisoning (e.g. bacteria strains such as E.coli).

• To reduce the risk of undercooked meat, cut into it to ensure it is cooked all the way through internally.
• If meat has been cooked sufficiently, the meat juices should be clear in colour and there should be no traces of pink/red juice or meat colouring.
• Pre-cooking of larger meat or joints is recommended before finally cooking on your barbecue.
• After cooking, always clean the grill cooking surfaces and utensils.

Care and Maintenance

• Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially after extended periods of storage.
• Ensure the barbecue and its components are sufficiently cool before cleaning.
• Do not leave the barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
• To extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue, cover it when left outside for any length of time, especially during winter months.
• IMPORTANT – Servicing should be performed either after every 100 hours of use or annually, whichever is achieved soonest.
• Change the flexible tube when national conditions require it.

Cooking Grill (4)

• Clean with hot soapy water.
• To remove food residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad.
• Rinse well and dry thoroughly.

Burner (6) Maintenance

• In normal usage, burning off residue after cooking will keep burners clean.
• Burners should be cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure no blockage (debris, insects) in burner portholes or venturi tubes. A blocked burner can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
• Visually inspect burner operation. Flame should be from all portholes.

Vapor Bar (5)

• Clean the vapor bar with soap and warm water using a low abrasive cleaning cloth or sponge.

Grease Cup (10)

• IMPORTANT – Check and clean the grease tray regularly before every use and replace if necessary. Do not allow fat residue to build up.
• NEVER use without grease tray in position.

Barbecue Body (9)

• Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body with a soft plastic or wooden scraper.
• It is not necessary to remove all grease. For full cleaning, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only.
• Remove cooking surfaces and burners before full cleaning.
• Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water.
• Check burner operation after carefully refitting into body.

Fixings

• All screws and bolts should be checked and tightened regularly.

Storage

• Do not leave your barbecue uncovered when not in use. Store in a cool dry place like a shed or garage to protect against extreme weather, especially in coastal areas.
• Prolonged exposure to sunlight, standing water, sea air/saltwater can cause damage. (A cover may not be sufficient in some situations).
• Cover the burners with aluminium foil to prevent insects or debris from collecting in burner holes.
• If storing indoors, the gas cylinder MUST be disconnected and left outside.
• The gas cylinder should always be stored outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children tamper with the cylinder.
• Always inspect the hose for cuts, cracks or excessive wear before use.
• If the hose is damaged, cut, or excessively worn, it must be replaced with a hose suitable for LPG, meeting national standards and specified by the manufacturer. Hose length shall not exceed 1.5m (59").

Danger!

Do not put the barbecue in storage or travel mode immediately after use. Allow the barbecue to cool to touch before moving or storing. Failure to do so could result in fire causing property damage, personal injury or death.
