IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Read the safety precautions of this booklet carefully before removing the barbecue from

its carton or connecting the barbecue to its gas supply. If you are unsure about
anything regarding your barbecue, please contact Everdure in Australia on
1300 766 066 or in New Zealand on [phone] before operating your appliance.

1. This Portable barbecue is intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. This appliance must NOT be used indoors.

2. For your safety and enjoyment, read all operating instructions before lighting the appliance.

3. Ensure that all gas connections are tight before operating this appliance (refer to leak testing procedure in this manual).
Always check for leaks when a gas cylinder is replaced or reconnected.

4. Unsupervised children or pets should not be near a barbecue while cooking or during warm up or cool down. Ensure

children or pets are kept a distance well away from the barbecue whilst it is in use. Ensure that young children do not play
with the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons.

5. Particular care must be taken when removing the fat tray and the disposable foil trays. Mishandling of hot oil and fats can

cause serious injury. Take care when changing plates & grills that parts are not hot & oil or fat does not drop onto the
burner.

6. Turn gas valve/control knob and gas cylinder valve off after use (including after gas assisted charcoal ignition). Do not allow

unburned gas to build.

7. Do not use this appliance for any purpose other than what it is intended for.

8. Do not move this barbecue while in use or directly after use, as accessible parts may be very hot. The barbecue should only

be lifted by the handles under the plastic base at either side. Take care that undue pressure will not be placed on the gas
hose, or turn off the gas supply & remove the hose from the cylinder or gas source (not at the barbecue). Take care that the
fat tray & disposable foil are removed to minimise fat/oil spillage.

9. This barbecue has been designed to be used either on a raised bench or on the optional Universal Stand. When using a

raised surface (table etc.), ensure the surface is level, large enough and strong enough to support the barbecue and will
withstand temperatures of 60°C above ambient temperature. When using a Universal Stand, ensure that your barbecue is in
a level position and the barbecue is secured onto the stand correctly (this is explained in the stand instructions).

10. People with flammable clothing such as nylon etc. should keep well away from the barbecue when it is operating.

11. Never leave the burner on high for more than 10 minutes unless actually cooking.

12. In case of fat fire while cooking with gas, turn cylinder off. Fat trays should be cleaned and checked before using the

barbecue. Disposable foil should be replaced before using the barbecue. Regular cleaning should reduce the build up of
fat and food residues which is combustible and can result in a fat fire. Fat fires can be prevented with diligence in cleaning
your fat tray and regular replacement of foil lining. Do not allow the fat tray to overflow. Damage as a result of fat fire is
not covered by your warranty and voids it. Do not use sand, fat absorbents or kitty litter in the fat tray.

13. Ensure that the product has adequate clearance from combustible materials. The appliance is designed so that heat will not

affect the Stand. All combustible materials must be kept more than 250mm from the sides and rear of the barbecue and
more than 1500mm above the cooking surface of the barbecue.

14. If the burner makes a hissing sound when lit, it may be burning internally. Turn the burner off, allow to cool, and try ignition

again. Keep your barbecue protected against strong wind – if this cannot be avoided, always check that the burner remains
alight if operating the barbecue in windy conditions. The flat lid supplied with the barbecue can be hung from the rear of the
appliance and utilised as a wind break, as well as reduce fat & oil splatter to the rear.

15. Do not carry out any servicing on the gas manifold of the barbecue yourself – this must only be done by authorised

technicians.

16. We recommend that you regularly maintain your barbecue and keep it in good condition. This can be achieved by following

the cleaning and maintenance suggestions in this booklet.

17. The barbecue is designed to be used with either 4kg or 9kg gas cylinders (when using the optional Universal Stand, only use

9kg gas cylinders). When not using a Universal Stand, the cylinder should be placed at a lower level to the barbecue, as far
away as the hose will allow without undue tension on the hose, in a protected spot (so it does not receive any fat splatter
from cooking or can be accidently knocked over). When using a Universal Stand, the gas cylinder should be placed in the
dedicated cylinder mounting at the bottom of the Stand, not beside it, and locked into place.

18. This appliance is not suitable for mounting in a movable vehicle (boat, trailer etc).

19. Do not use or store this appliance in areas of high salt content (a marine environment) or an area with caustic fumes or

liquids (such as a domestic pool), as these chemicals can cause the appliance materials to deteriorate (and void the
warranty). Regular cleaning and covering with an Everdure barbecue cover can help can help to reduce this.

20. Always remove the flat lid before ignition. Do not place flat lid over barbecue until the appliance is cool.

THE EVOLUTION OF PORTABLE OUTDOOR COOKING

21. Charcoal and coal products produce carbon monoxide when burned. When the appliance is being used with solid fuels,

always keep the appliance in a well ventilated area to prevent the gasses produced from building up.

22. Do not use solid fuels impregnated with fire accelerants or use any other type of accelerant on this appliance. This appliance

is designed for gas assisted charcoal ignition only. Using any accelerant could cause serious property damage or personal
injury.

23. During ignition, do not overfill the charcoal support rack with solid fuel, as this will cause problems with aeration to the fuel

and burner, causing an increase in the amount of carbon monoxide produced.

24. Do not run the gas burner for longer than the recommended time (8 minutes) when igniting the solid fuel. Running the gas

burner longer than the recommended time will retard the ignition process of the solid fuels as well as create excess carbon
monoxide. Once the gas burner has run for 8 minutes, turn it off at the control knob and at the gas cylinder.

25. Always allow the solid fuel to burn out naturally after cooking. Do not use any liquids to douse the charcoal. Do not move

the appliance or remove the fat tray while the coals are still burning as hot ash, coal particles, unburned fuel and hot
cooking fats & oils could spill. Never run the appliance without the fat tray in place.

26. Do not disconnect or exchange a gas cylinder around this appliance while solid fuels are burning, as excess gas could ignite

causing property damage or personal injury.

27. Do not use volcanic rock or any type of non-combustible product in the charcoal support rack. If in doubt on what fuels can

be used, check the Everdure website or contact the Service Department.

28. Solid fuels should only be placed in the charcoal support rack. Solid fuel should never be placed directly on the burner or

inside the chassis.

29. Solid fuels differ widely in burning time, heat, size and combustion. Always be aware of your surroundings and potential fire

hazards caused by sparks or spitting fuels. Never dispose of solid fuels or hot ashes in areas where they can be trodden on
or be a fire hazard. Never dispose of unburned solid fuels or ash until it has completely extinguished.

30. The combination of food residue/oils/fats and ash should never be allowed to build up on the cast iron burner. After the

barbecue has cooled down, remove both the cooling grill and charcoal support bracket and scrape away any residue from
the top of the burner. Allowing this to build up can create a fire hazard. Take care not to block any of the burner ports.

31. Always check with your local/state authorities before using this appliance for any fire restrictions regarding the use of an

outdoor barbecue (due to local weather conditions).

32. When using solid fuels, take care that the surrounding environment is clear of combustible materials. Do not cook under

overhanging buildings or close branches of trees.

GAS CONNECTIONS

LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS

Check Gas Type and specifications plate on the inside of the left-hand side trolley door. All gas fitting work,
service and repairs can only be performed by an authorized person in accordance with AS5601 and local gas
regulations.

FOR ULPG CYLINDER CONNECTION

1. To achieve the optimum performance from your Everdure Barbecue, an approved gas cylinder (POL fitting) of

4kg (not for use with the Universal stand) or 9kg capacity must be used.

2. Do not connect gas to a barbecue that is not secured in a Universal Stand or on a stable raised surface. The

cylinder must be placed in the mounts over the wheel axle and secured with the cylinder bracket of the
Universal Stand when one is used. The cylinder should be lower than the barbecue & in a protected place
when not using a Universal Stand.

3. Connect the cylinder to the barbecue, via the hose and regulator. Firmly tighten joints, but do not over-

tighten. Take care not to damage the regulator fitting. Check that the gas control knob/valve is in the Off
position before opening the gas cylinder.

NOTE: Only one gas cylinder should be stored in the Universal Stand at any one time.

LEAK TESTING

1. Make sure the gas control knob is Off and turn the cylinder valve On.

2. Check for leaking joints by brushing with solution of half-liquid detergent and half water. If a leak is present,

bubbles will appear (or you may hear a hissing sound). Retightening connections can generally repair a
leaking joint. You must also check the gas hose and connection at the gas cylinder. If a leak cannot be
resolved, do not proceed.

DO NOT USE NAKED FLAME FOR LOCATING GAS LEAKS.

IF A LEAK PERSISTS CALL AN AUTHORISED GAS FITTER.
