User Instructions

Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the WARNING statements in this manual.

Preparation before cooking

• To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking grill, apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil with a long-handled brush 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

• Open the barbecue hood (2).
• Ensure all knobs are in the ‘OFF' position (7).
• Unscrew the ignition button (8) and insert an AA battery, positive end facing outwards. Screw the ignition button (8) back into place. Open the barbecue hood (2) and turn on the gas supply at the gas cylinder.
• Turn the burner control knob (7) to the ignition position.
• Press and hold the ignition button (8) to ignite the burner flames. If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, turn the 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 the control knob (7) to lower or raise heat as required.
• After ignition, the burners should be run 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.
• After preheating, turn the burners to the low position and cook with the hood down for best results.

Manual lighting instructions

• Remove the cooking grill (4), griddle plate (13), and vapour 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.

Grill Cooking

The vapour bar evenly distributes the burner flame across the cooking grill area. Natural food juices fall onto the hot vapour bar below and vaporize. Even cooking is achieved by using the barbecue with the hood down, 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, trim away excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. Burners should 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 to ensure even heat circulation. With the hood closed, the gas barbecue cooks like a convection oven. The thermometer in the hood indicates the cooking temperature, so you do not need to lift the hood. 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 to burn off cooking residue, making cleaning easier.

Turning Off Your Barbecue

• Push the control knob (7) in and turn to the 'OFF' position.
• Turn off the gas 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 open to ensure it is cooked all the way through internally.
• CAUTION - if meat has been cooked sufficiently, its juices should be clear in colour and there should be no traces of pink/red juice or meat colouring.
• After cooking, always clean the grill cooking surfaces and utensils.
• At the end of every cooking session, ensure the grease cup is cleaned thoroughly.

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, 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.

CAUTION

• If you smell gas – turn off the barbecue, extinguish all flames, open the barbecue hood.
• If the odour continues, immediately contact your gas supplier. In the event of an uncontrollable fire, immediately disconnect the gas cylinder, move it away from the fire, and contact the fire services. DO NOT PUT YOURSELF AT RISK!
• Ensure aerosols are not used near this barbecue when in use.
• Ensure all packaging and plastic bags are disposed of safely.

Cooking Grill (4)

• Clean with hot soapy water.
• To remove any 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 the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean.
• The burners should be cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes or the venturi tubes of the burners fitted over the valve outlets. A blocked burner can lead to a fire beneath the grill.
• Visually inspect the operation of the burners. See figure below showing correct burning. There should be flame from all portholes.

Vapour Bar (5)

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

Grease cup (11)

• IMPORTANT – Check and clean the grease tray regularly before every use and replace if necessary. Do not allow the fat residue to build up in the tray.
• NEVER use without grease cup 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 the grease from the body. If you need to clean fully, 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, etc. should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.

STORAGE

• Do not leave your barbecue uncovered when not in use. Store your barbecue in a cool dry place like a shed or garage when not in use to protect against the effects of extreme weather conditions, particularly if you live near coastal areas.
• Prolonged exposure to sunlight, standing water, sea air/saltwater can all cause damage to your appliance. (A cover may not be sufficient to protect your appliance in some of these situations).
• Cover the burners with aluminium foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from collecting in burner holes.
• If the barbecue is to be stored 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 or there is excessive abrasion or wear or the hose is cut, it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use with LPG and meet the national standards for the country of use and must be as specified by the manufacturer. The length of the hose shall not exceed 1.5m.
