• Never use an open flame to check for leaks at any time. 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.

Read carefully before use

IT

1. Instructions for use and installation

• The 694 gas regulator unit was designed for domestic use to power appliances being used at the pressure and power level indicated on the identification plate (1).
• The 694 gas regulator unit is installed on gas cylinders fitted with manual closing taps (2), having a male threaded outlet pipe fitting (7) according to the dimensions indicated in table (A).

Fitting onto gas cylinder

Check that:

• all the taps on the appliance being used are closed.
• the connection pipe on the appliance being used is fitted correctly.

If there are no flames, remove the protecting cap on the tap.

After checking that the washer is there and in good condition (4), screw on the nut (3) rotating it in the direction of the arrow (5). Tighten the nut just enough to ensure watertight integrity which can be checked using soapy water.

4. Operation of the system

• Once the 694 gas regulator has been correctly fitted to the tap, the gas supply can be turned on by rotating the handwheel in the direction indicated on valve (6).
• Rotate in opposite direction to shut off the gas supply.

5. Replacing the gas cylinder

Check that:

• all the taps on the appliance being used are in the closed position.
• the tap on the gas cylinder is closed.

At this point, dismantle the 694 gas regulator by unscrewing the nut (3).

Lighting the barbecue

Open the barbecue hood (2).

Ensure all knobs are in the ‘OFF' position (7).

Unscrew ignition button (8) and insert AA battery, positive end facing outwards. Screw ignition button (8) back into place. Open the barbecue hood (2) and turn on gas supply at gas cylinder.

Turn burner control knob (7) to position

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.

In windy conditions, shield from wind to ensure easy lighting.

Once ignition has occurred, turn control knob (7) to lower or raise heat as required.

After ignition, the burners should be burned at the high position for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat the barbecue. This process should be done before every cooking session. IMPORTANT - The hood should be open during preheating.

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), griddle plate (13) and vapour bar (5) from barbecue.
• Place a lit match beside the burner (6) (at the same location as the sparker shield).
• Push and turn the right most control knob (7) anti-clockwise to the high position.
• After successful lighting, light each burner from left to right as desired.

Grill Cooking

The vapour bar evenly distributes the burner flame across the cooking grill area. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot vapour bar below and vaporise. Even cooking of food will be 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 VAPOUR BAR. To reduce this, regularly clean the burners and vapour bar. To control flare-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.

Covered cooking

Keep the hood closed when you grill to ensure the heat circulates evenly. With the hood closed, the gas barbeque cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the hood shows what the cooking temperature is inside the barbecue so you don't have to lift the hood. Avoid lifting the hood to look inside during the cooking process – 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 will burn off cooking residue, thus 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.

At the end of every cooking session ensure grease cup is cleaned thoroughly.

Food Safety

Please read and follow this advice when cooking on your barbecue:

• 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 open to ensure it is cooked all the way through internally.

CAUTION – 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.

After cooking on your barbecue 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.
• In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue, we strongly recommend that the unit is covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.
• IMPORTANT – We recommend that servicing of this barbecue should be performed either after every 100 hours of use or annually, whichever is achieved soonest.
• Change the flexible tube when the national conditions require it.
