ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS.
Hold the barbecue on its side and release the folded legs from their retaining clips at either end
of the barbecue. Swing the legs out completely, and rotate the inner struts so they can be pushed
rmly into the same retaining clips. Stand the barbecue upright on a rm and level surface.
When required, use an empty ring-pull
drinks can as a fat drain container. A
stainless steel clip emerges from each
drain hole, which can be found within
the area of the chromed hoop at either
end of the barbecue. Thread the clip
through the hole in the can.
CAUTION: Use an oven glove when removing the can, which may be very hot. Dispose of
any hot fat with due caution.
POSITIONING THE BARBECUE.
Propane is heavier than air, and enclosures must meet ventilation required by the UKLPG
Code of Practice 24, Pt2:2017. Three open sides and a continuous back wall is also sufficient
to clear away smoke from cooking, along with any accidentally spilt gas.
Ensure the barbecue is placed on a level steady surface with clearances as below, and not in
an excessively windy environment. Do not place near or under combustible materials.
Page 2 Issue 13
Page 6
POSITIONING THE GAS CYLINDER.
Ensure that the gas cylinder is not placed in contact or underneath the barbecue. The hose should
be routed away from the barbecue without touching any hot surfaces.
Ensure the cylinder is placed on a
twisted when connected.
disconnect the regulator
The cylinder must also be located to give good access to connect and
, or to turn of
rm and level surface and that the hose is neither stretched nor
f in an emergency
.
CONNECTING THE REGULA
Check that the hose is completely over the nozzle on the regulator and the nozzle on the barbecue
and that it is secured rmly. The hose may be secured by a continuous circular hose clip or by
the metal swaging process we use at our factory. ‘Jubilee’ clips must NOT be used as they don’t
impart a perfectly circular pressure and can even push a section of hose away from contact with
the nozzle.
Examine the exible hose regularly and get your dealer to t a new hose if perished, worn
or damaged in any way. L.P.G. ATTACKS NATURAL RUBBER – ONLY USE HOSE TO BS: 3212
TYPE 2 OR ISO 3821 SUPPLIED BY YOUR DEALER.
Remove the protective plastic plug from the cylinder outlet and save for replacement into the
cylinder when empty.
Use the spanner provided to tighten the regulator to the propane cylinder in an ANTI-CLOCKWISE
direction when viewed from the hose connection.
TOR TO THE CYLINDER
Use a 1bar (1000mbar)
regulator ONLY
LIGHTING THE BARBECUE.
a) Turn BOTH control valves on the barbecue OFF, by turning them clockwise to a firm ‘stop’.
b) Turn the supply from the cylinder ON by turning the cylinder valve anticlockwise.
c) A LEAKAGE CHECK SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT NOW, IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY NAKED
FLAME. Use a soapy water solution around all gas connections and along the hose. Turn
the gas OFF at the propane cylinder if the solution bubbles to indicate a leak and call an
LPgas engineer. A list of qualified engineers can be found on our website www.cindersbarbecues.co.uk
d) If no leaks are indicated, insert a lighted taper or gas match into one of the brass lighting holes
(located centrally under each firebox), then turn ON the control valve at that end of the barbecue
by turning anti-clockwise. The burner should light immediately and can be checked by looking
through the 10mm diameter sighting hole in the side of the firebox.
Page 3 Issue 13
Page 7
e) If the burner doesn’t light immediately, turn OFF the control valve at the barbecue by turning
clockwise to a rm ‘stop’ and try again after 5 minutes. If still unsuccessful, call an LPgas
engineer or contact us for information or advice.
TURNING OFF THE BARBECUE
First turn OFF the gas supply at the cylinder valve in a clockwise direction to a firm ‘stop’. Next,
turn the control valves at BOTH ends of the barbecue to the OFF position by turning them also
to clockwise to a firm ‘stop’.
Detach the regulator from the gas cylinder if cooking has finished by unscrewing CLOCKWISE,
when viewed from the hose connection and replace the protective plastic plug into the cylinder
outlet.
Wait for the barbecue to cool before moving.
CHANGING CYLINDERS
CHANGING CYLINDERS MUST BE DONE WITH NO NAKED FLAME IN THE VICINITY.
You MUST begin the procedure by first turning OFF the gas supply at the cylinder valve, then
turning OFF both control valves at the barbecue BEFORE disconnecting the regulator from the
gas cylinder.
EMPTY CYLINDERS MUST BE SITED WELL AWAY FROM THE BARBECUE AND IN A
SECURED AND FLAME-FREE ENVIRONMENT, WITH THEIR PROTECTIVE PLASTIC PLUGS
FIRMLY SCREWED IN POSITION.

CLEANING THE BARBECUE
This barbecue internally self-cleans. Do NOT remove the stainless steel cooking
surface at any time.
Allow the barbecue to burn away fatty debris inside the body of the barbecue, until no more smoke
exits through the cooking surface. No further internal cleaning is required.
The cooking surface is easily cleaned by turning the barbecue on full power and laying the at
griddle accessory on top, which super-heats the surface by reection. This will convert the carbon
to white uffy powder in a very few minutes. Alternatively, a stiff wire brush and nylon scouring pad
can be used.
Caustic cleaners will reduce the life of the heat exchanger, which sits below the cooking surface.
The rest of the appliance can be cleaned with hot soapy water. TAKE CARE NOT TO BLOCK
ANY PORTION OF THE BURNER AERATION PORT. The aeration port is an 11.75mm diameter
hole in the short horizontal metal pipe that the control valve screws into, and will be checked by a
qualied gas engineer during servicing.
STORING THE BARBECUE AND ITS PROPANE SUPPLY
CYLINDERS .
It is important that the barbecue is stored in dirt free, damp free, hygienic conditions indoors when
not in use for any period of time. The barbecue should always be disconnected from the cylinder
during storage.
PROPANE CYLINDERS MUST ALWAYS BE STORED OUTDOORS.
Consult your propane supplier for the best way to store cylinders, in your particular circumstances.
MAINTENANCE.
Servicing is recommended at least once per season, according to usage.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE OF THIS APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE CARRIED OUT BY THE
OWNER. ALWAYS USE A REGISTERED GAS-SAFE ENGINEER, OR CONTACT ‘CINDERS’
FOR ADVICE.
A current list of qualied engineers can be found on the CINDERS website,

TROUBLE SHOOTING
CHECK FIRST IF THE PROBLEM IS COMMON TO BOTH SIDES,
OR UNIQUE TO ONLY ONE SIDE.
BOTH SIDES:
-The most common reason for very low power is that a domestic low pressure (37mbar) regulator
has been retro-fitted. This barbecue was supplied with an adjustable 0.5bar (500mbar) to 1bar
(1000mbar) regulator and a replacement hose and regulator is available from our website.
-The adjustable regulator is set on half heat. Unscrewing control knobs on propane regulators
actually reduces pressure, -see yellow tag on the neck of the regulator for instruction.
-The gas level in the cylinder is low. Empty cylinders are heavy and the level is not easy to gauge
when running out of gas.
ONE SIDE:
-The most common reason is that the injector is blocked. Cleaning the injector is part of the
routine annual maintenance which should be undertaken by a qualified gas engineer. A list of
engineers is on our website.
-A very loud roaring noise, sometimes with flames exiting the end of the barbecue means either a
severely blocked burner through years of zero maintenance, or you are lighting at the air intake.
The air intake is located next to the control knob. See pages 3 and 4 for correct lighting.
FLARE-UPS:
Rarely, these can be due to a very high-pressure regulator being retro-fitted. 2bar (2000mbar)
regulators are common and cannot be accurately regulated to the maximum 1bar pressure
required by this barbecue.
More common is that there is simply too much fat in the food. Sadly, ‘100% burgers' can mean
100% animal, including ground up fat and offal. Good quality thin burgers bulked with rusk with a
shorter cooking time are easier for high volume catering.
As a benchmark, try thinly sliced and tenderised steak which is great with onions and steadily
move onto cheaper options to find a balance. Never cook from frozen as the fat will render out
from the outside as it cooks first, before the inside is up to safe temperature.
A solid griddle accessory is available from our website, which is also useful for eggs, bacon and
mounds of onions.
‘Getting the best from your barbecue’ is on our website and remember, barbecuing doesn’t make
poor quality food better.
