USING YOUR BARBECUE

WARNING

Before you light the barbecue

Perform the following checks:

• Make sure all connections are tight, and leak-tested.
Gas regulators fitted with a hand-tightened wheel must
be checked to ensure they are secured.

• Check that all control knobs are in the ‘Off’ position, and
that gas supply is turned off.

• Ensure that the Hood on the barbecue, and the Lid
on the side-burner are open. If lids are closed there
is a risk of gas accumulating inside, and creating a
dangerous situation.

• The hose and regulator supplied with this barbecue
must be used at all times whilst operating this
barbecue. Inspect the hose and regulator regularly
for cracks or any sign of damage. If there is excessive
abrasion or wear, replace only with a genuine
BeefEater regulator.

• The bottom panel of the Barbecue is clean and free of
any fat or other food residue.

Grease collecting pan

The grease Collecting Pan is located on 2 brackets below the
barbecue’s bottom panel, on the left-hand-side.

Make sure the pan is always in its place when operating the
barbecue, to avoid fat dripping directly into the trolley. Make
sure the grease pan is emptied and cleaned regularly.

Also ensure the grease is cleaned off the bottom of the
Barbecue before each use.

Lighting the Barbecue

• Ensure the appliance is placed on a flat, level,
non-combustible surface.

• Ensure the regulator is connected to the LPG cylinder
(See Regulator Connection page 4.), and the hose is not
subject to any twisting, and is not close to hot surfaces.

• Verify all joints are spanner tight and check for leaks
after turning on gas supply.

• Ensure all knobs are in the ‘Off’ position.

• Ensure vaporizers, cooking plate and grill are in place.

• Open Gas Cylinder valve.

NOTE: The barbecue is fitted with a safety feature that
prevents the burners from being accidentally turned on.

You must push the knob inwards to disengage the lock, and
only then start turning it.

Light each burner by following this procedure:

• Read all instructions before lighting.

• Open Hood before lighting.

• Push in and turn Right-Hand-Side knob counter­clockwise to ‘High’.

• If ignition does not occur, return to ‘Off’ and repeat after
5 minutes.

Check for a clear blue flame with just a tip of yellow.

Once the right-hand-side burner is alight, light each
successive burner from right to left.

WARNING

Excess yellow tipping means the combustion is not right, if
that is observed, turn the Barbecue burners off, and refer to
troubleshooting at the end of this manual.

Do not use more than 2 burners on ‘High’ with the
hood closed.

If the burner does not light

Keep the control knob pushed, and return the knob in the
clockwise direction to the ‘Off’ position. Wait 5 minutes, and
repeat the lighting procedure steps 1 – 4 above again.

If after a few attempts you still can not light the burners,
contact your retailer before proceeding.

Manual Lighting

Press and turn the right hand control knob anti-clockwise
to the ‘High’ position, then, using a long match, light the
right hand burner immediately through the cooking grill
and vaporizer.

Check for proper burner operation

Following operating instructions light each burner and
check for a clear blue flame with just a tip of yellow. Excess
yellow tipping can be adjusted using the screw on the side
of the burner. If you are unable to achieve correct operation,
consult your dealer.

Preparing the Plate and Grill:

Your barbecue has heavy duty enamelled Cast Iron plate
and grill. Enamel is a hard, non-rusting surface which will
ensure the long life of your cooking surface.

The plate and grill are ready to use, but it is recommended
to wash them with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and
rinse before use.

To ensure the longevity of the enamel surface on the Cast
Iron plate and grill it is strongly advised to avoid impact with
other metal parts and sharp utensils.

To turn off a burner

Simply turn the knob (without pushing) clockwise to the
‘Off’ position.
