Quick Start Guide
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Appliance
The appliance may only be used with butane, propane or a low pressure LPG mixture and with a suitable low pressure regulator and a flexible hose. The hose must be securely connected to the regulator and the appliance with hose clips. The barbecue operates with a 28-30 mbar regulator for butane, 37 mbar for propane and 30 mbar for an LPG gas mixture. Use a suitable regulator certified to BSEN 16129:2013. Contact your LPG supplier for further information on suitable regulators for gas cylinders.
Regulator & Hose
These items are not supplied with the barbecue but are available separately from your retailer or approved LPG gas distributor. Use only regulators and hoses intended for use with LPG at the pressures indicated above. The service life of a regulator is estimated at 10 years. It is recommended that you change the regulator 10 years after its date of manufacture. The hose should be changed when national regulations require. It is recommended that you change the hose 5 years after its date of manufacture. Using an unsuitable regulator or hose is dangerous. Ensure that the products that you have are suitable for use with your barbecue. The hose used must comply with the standards in force in the country of use. The hose must be a minimum of 0.6 metres long and a maximum of 1.5 metres. A damaged regulator or hose must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not blocked, kinked or in contact with any part of the barbecue other than the connection point.
Storage After Use
Store the appliance indoors only if the cylinder has been disconnected and removed. If the appliance is not used for a long period, it should be stored in its original packaging, in a dry, dust-free location.
Gas Cylinder
The barbecue may be used with 11 or 15 kg cylinders. The maximum size is 310 mm (diameter) x 600 mm (height). The barbecue will run better if propane or LPG mixtures are used. Butane can be used but, due to the appliance's power, the cylinder will have a tendency to freeze and supply gas at a lower pressure, thus affecting the barbecue's performance. The gas cylinder must be outside the barbecue. The gas cylinder should be handled with care! Always disconnect the gas cylinder when not using the barbecue. Replace the protective cap on the cylinder when not connected to the appliance. Keep any source of ignition well away when changing the gas cylinder. Cylinders should always be stored outdoors, vertically and out of the reach of children. Cylinders should never be stored in temperatures in excess of 50°C. Never store gas cylinders close to flames, burners or other heat sources.
NEVER SMOKE NEAR A GAS CYLINDER
This barbecue is designed for outdoor use, well away from any flammable material. Ensure that any item located above the appliance cannot obstruct it and that both sides and the front of the appliance are at least 1 metre from any item that could impede its operation. Ensure that the appliance's ventilation holes are not obstructed. The barbecue should be placed on a flat, stable surface. The appliance should be protected from direct draughts and bad weather (rain, etc.).
Parts sealed by the manufacturer or its agent should not be disassembled by the user. Do not modify any part of the barbecue. Repairs and maintenance should only be carried out by an accredited technician.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Grill
Before connection, ensure that nothing is obstructing the top of the cylinder, the regulator, burner or burner ports. Spiders and insects can get into and obstruct the burner's supply tube. An obstructed burner could cause a fire under the appliance. Clean the burner orifices using a stiff brush. Secure the hose to the appliance using a spanner to tighten it on to the connection cable. When replacing the hose, it should be fixed to the appliance and regulator using hose clips. Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder (following the instructions supplied with the regulator) when the barbecue is not in use.
The barbecue should be used in a well ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air to the burner when using the barbecue.
Leak Test
Mix one part washing up liquid to three parts water to make 60-90ml of solution. Ensure that the control valve is closed. Connect the regulator to the cylinder and the open/close valve to the burner. Ensure that connections are correctly made and then open the gas inlet valve. Spread the solution over the hose and all joins with a brush. If any bubbles appear, then there is a leak, which must be repaired before the barbecue is used. Test again, once the leak is repaired. Close the gas inlet valve on the cylinder, when the test is complete. If a leak is detected which cannot be repaired, do not attempt any other action but contact your distributor.
Lighting Instruction
- Open the lid.
- Turn the control knobs clockwise to the OFF position.
- Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder. Open the gas inlet valve on the cylinder. Using a soap solution, look for any gas leak between the cylinder and the regulator.
- Push down the second control knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the position, this will light the second burner. Always turn on the second burner first.
- Turn other burners on by turning the control knob to "HI" position. They will be light through the flame channel. Always start from left side to right side burner.
- Adjust the flame by turning the knob to the HIGH/LOW position.
- If the burner does not light, light it with a match in the opening at the side of the appliance. Contact your gas distributor to have the ignition system repaired.
- To turn off the barbecue, close the valve on the cylinder, or the switch on the regulator if you have finished using the barbecue, then turn the appliance control knobs clockwise to the "OFF" position.
Notice for First Time Using
Close the hood and left the gas burn at Min setting for 15 minutes. The smells from the treated surface are eliminated by the high temperature.
Cleaning & Maintenance
General Warning: Before cleaning, wait until the gas barbecue has cooled down sufficiently. Before cleaning, remove the gas cylinder.
Exterior Surface: Do not use flammable detergents or abrasive utensils for cleaning. Do not use any oven cleaners. Oven cleaner attacks painted surfaces. Clean the barbecue after each use. Use mild detergents, caustic soda and hot water. Mild abrasive agents can be used for stubborn stains. Following this, rinse thoroughly with water.
Interior Surface: Does the inner surface of the grill lid look as if paint may flake? There is burnt-on grease which is flaking. Clean the surface thoroughly with highly concentrated, hot soap suds. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow the lid to dry.
Interior surface of the barbecue bottom: Remove residue with a brush or a scraper. Using soap suds and a sponge, finish by washing the surface. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow the surface to dry.
Cooking Grid & Warming Rack: Use mild soap suds. Mild abrasive agents can be used for stubborn stains. Following this, rinse thoroughly with water.
Clean the Burner: Turn the gas OFF at the control knob and disconnect the cylinder. Remove cooling grate. Clean the burner with a soft brush or blow clean with compressed air and wipe with a cloth. Clean any clogged parts with a pipe cleaner or stiff wire (such as an unfolded paperclip). Inspect burner for any damage (cracks or holes). If damage is found, replace with a new burner. Reinstall the burner, check to ensure that the gas valve is positioned correctly and secured inside the burner inlet (venturi).
Store the Gas Barbecue: Before storage, please ensure the barbecue is clean and dry. Store the barbecue in a dust-free, dry room. Always use a cover to protect the barbecue to avoid rust.
