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 on 1300 766 066 before operating
your appliance.
1. This 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.
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.
6. Turn gas valve/control knob and gas cylinder valve off after use. Do not allow build up of unburned gas.
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 at either side. Do not manoeuvre via the barbecue handles when in the trolley.
Take care that the fat tray & disposable foil tray are removed to minimise fat/oil spillage.
9. Ensure that your barbecue is in a level position and the barbecue is secured onto the trolley correctly.
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 turn cylinder off. Fat trays should be cleaned and checked before using the barbecue. Disposable
foil trays 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 trays. Do not allow the foil 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 or
disposable foil tray.
13. Ensure that the product has adequate clearance from combustible materials. The appliance is designed so that heat
will not affect the trolley. All combustible materials must be kept more than 250mm from the sides of the trolley 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 inside. 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
burners remain alight if operating the barbecue in windy conditions.
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 and trolley is designed to be used with either 4kg or 9kg gas cylinders. The gas cylinder should be
placed in the dedicated cylinder mounting at the bottom of the trolley, not beside the trolley.
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.

Air is admitted at the underside of the combustion chamber (a 200mm x 20mm gap between the fat tray and
the chamber through an Ø70mm hole. Air is also admitted around the burner via five 12mm x 8mm oval holes
in the rear of the chassis panel. Exhaust gases are emitted around the edge of the hot plate (5mm gap) and
through a gap at the rear of the hood.
GAS CONNECTIONS
LOCAL AUTHORITY REQUIREMENTS
Check Gas Type and specifications plate on the left-hand side of the barbecue. All gas fitting work, service
and repairs can only be performed by an authorised person in accordance with AS5601 / AG601 and local
gas regulations.
FOR GAS CYLINDER CONNECTION
1. To achieve the optimum performance from your Barbecue, an approved gas cylinder (POL fitting) of 4kg or
9kg capacity must be used.
2. Do not connect gas to a barbecue that is not secured in a trolley.
3. Connect the cylinder to the barbecue, via the hose and regulator. Check that the gas control knob/valve is
in the Off position before opening the gas cylinder. Firmly tighten joints, but do not over-tighten. Take care
not to damage the regulator fitting.
LEAK TESTING
1. Make sure gas control 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 will 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.
LEAK TEST ALL CONNECTIONS, INCLUDING THE CONNECTION
TO THE GAS CYLINDER.
DO NOT USE NAKED FLAME FOR LOCATING GAS LEAKS.
IF A LEAK PERSISTS CALL AN AUTHORISED GAS FITTER.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
THIS BARBECUE IS INTENDED FOR USE WITH THE SUPPLIED TROLLEY ONLY.
RUNNING THE BARBECUE WITHOUT THE TROLLEY WILL VOID ALL WARRANTIES.
ASSEMBLE THE TROLLEY BEFORE UNPACKING THE BARBECUE.
GAS TYPE AND CONSUMPTION
The barbecue is designed to operate on Universal LP Gas (Propane and/or Butane gas) only. Gas
consumption, Pressure and Injector Orifice size are shown on the Data Plate found on the right-hand side of
the barbecue.
GAS CONTROL KNOBS
The gas control knob locks in both the Off and High positions. By depressing the knob and turning anticlockwise, gas flow will gradually increase until the High position is reached. Continue turning in this direction
and gas flow will decrease until a simmer level is reached at Low. To turn gas flow off the gas control knob
must be turned clockwise from Low, depressed at High and turned until the Off position is reached.
Note: Take care when adjusting the knob position as the side of the barbeque can get hot.
HOT PLATE
Prior to using the barbecue, it’s advisable to cure the cooking surface. Wash the hot plate, and then cover
with olive or vegetable oil. The Teflon coated aluminium hot plate takes up the complete cooking area of the
barbecue (do not replace with any other cooking surface). NOTE: When cooking on Teflon coated surfaces,
please ensure that metallic or sharp objects are NOT used. Damage to plates and grills due to the use of
metallic or sharp objects will not be covered under warranty. It is recommended to use silicone cooking
utensils as these are both hygienic and withstand high temperatures. Any excess fat or liquid will flow to the
centre fat collection channel and drip through the barbecue into the fat tray and foil tray below the chassis.
FAT TRAY
Prior to use check that the fat tray is clean and lined with a disposable foil tray. Use only foil trays supplied for
the barbecue, as trays of an incorrect size or height could cause problems with aeration to the barbecue or
spilled fat and oils. Make sure the fat tray assembly is fully installed under the barbecue before operating the
appliance.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST SAND, FAT ABSORBENTS
OR KITTY LITTER BE USED IN THE DRIP TRAY
ROASTING
Roasting (or cooking with the hood down) should only be done with the gas valve/control knob set to low.
This is most important as severe overheating and spoilt food can result if this is exceeded.
