1. This barbecue and wok burner is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. This appliance must NOT be used indoors.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Particular care must be taken when removing the fat tray. Hot fats can cause serious injury.

5. Turn all gas valves off including cylinder after use. Do not allow build up of unburned gas.

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

7. Do not move this barbecue while in use as accessible parts may be very hot. Ensure that your barbecue is in a level position and

that the wheels are locked when the barbecue is in place to minimize movement of your barbecue.

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

9. Never leave burners on high for more than 10 minutes unless actually cooking.

10. Always check for leaks when a gas cylinder is replaced or reconnected.

11. In case of fat fire turn cylinder off. Fat drip trays should be cleaned and checked 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. 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; line the fat tray with aluminium foil for easy cleaning.

12. For your safety and enjoyment, read all operating instructions before lighting.

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 it to cool, and then try the

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. When the wok burner is in use or is still hot, the lid must not be placed in the closed position.

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

17. 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.

GAS CONNECTIONS

FOR PROPANE CYLINDER CONNECTION

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

fitting) of 9kg capacity must be used.

2. 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 ALL Barbecue and Wok Burner valves are in the Off position before opening the gas cylinder.

NOTE: Only one gas cylinder should be stored inside the trolley at any one time.

LEAK TESTING

1. Make sure gas control knobs are 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.

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 authorized person in accordance with AS 5601 & your local gas regulations.

NATURAL GAS

All barbecues are supplied for use with propane gas. For natural gas usage, a conversion kit must be purchased and installed by a gas fitter or Everdure Service Technician. Please see the separate NG conversion and installation instruction sheet supplied with this barbecue for details.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GAS TYPE AND CONSUMPTION

The barbecues are designed to operate on Propane or NG Gas (gas type must be specified at time of purchase). Gas consumption, Pressure and Injector Orifice size are shown on the Data Plate found on the left-hand side of the barbecue (see segment on locating your serial number in the warranty section).

GAS CONTROL KNOBS (BARBECUES AND WOK BURNERS) The gas control knob locks in both the Off and High positions. By depressing the knob and turning anti-clockwise, 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.

VAPOURISER

Prior to using the barbecue, ensure the vapouriser is in the correct position below the grill plate.

NON-VITREOUS ENAMEL CAST IRON HOT PLATES & GRILL PLATES

Prior to using the barbecue, it’s advisable to cure the cooking surface. Wash the hot plate and grill plate, then cover with olive or vegetable oil, light all burners and leave on until oil is absorbed, then wipe with a dry cloth. To prolong the life of your cooking plates, please follow the maintenance procedures outlined in this instruction manual.

FAT TRAY

Prior to use check that the fat tray is clean and lined with aluminium foil.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST SAND, KITTY LITTER OR FAT ABSORBENTS BE USED IN THE FAT TRAY

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

Read all operating instructions before lighting.

Open roasting hood before lighting.

Make sure all gas control knobs are in the ‘Off’ position and open cylinder valve or connect natural gas.

LIGHTING THE BARBECUE USING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION

The Everdure 6 burner barbecue has 2 battery operated igniters to operate the appliance. The sparker on the left ignites the 4 burners on the left hand side (underneath the hot plate and baking dish). The sparker on the right ignites the 2 burners on the right hand side (underneath the grill plate). Burners can also be ignited via the cross over channel. Before attempting to light the barbecue, please ensure that a battery has been placed in the battery operated igniter. To check for, and replace a battery, the black and silver cap requires removing. The cap is removed by turning in an anti – clockwise direction. A battery can then be placed into the box and the cap replaced. The barbecue can then be lit by the following procedure:

1. Turn the burner gas control knob to the ‘High’ position on the side you want to light.

2. Hold down the igniter button on that side until the burner ignites. If the burner does not light within 10 seconds, turn gas control knob off and allow the unburned gas to dissipate before attempting ignition again. If ignition continues to fail refer to the “Trouble Shooting” section.

3. To achieve ignition on the remaining burners turn either of the burner gas control knobs next to the lit burner to ‘High’, and the burner will ignite from the first burner, or repeat steps 1 & 2 with a different gas control knob.

LIGHTING THE WOK BURNER USING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION

The Wok Burner also has a 1 battery operated igniter situated at the front of the Wok Burner servery, which has the same battery replacement procedure as the barbecue igniter. To ignite the Wok Burner, press and hold the wok burner igniter button down, so that sparks can be seen at the brass burner. Press the gas control knob in and turn to the High position. When the gas ignites, release the igniter button. If the burner fails to light, turn the gas control knob to the Off position, let the gas dissipate for five minutes, and then re-try. If ignition continues to fail refer to the “Trouble shooting” section.

MANUAL IGNITION

To light the barbecue manually, the fat tray is removed. Any burner can then be lit by a match from below. Once lit, the fat tray is replaced in position.

COOKING

COOKING WITH YOUR BARBECUE PLATES

A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and efficient cooking. Try to keep the barbecue sheltered from strong winds as this will drastically reduce cooking efficiency. Check frequently that the burners remain alight when used in conditions of strong wind.

FOR VITREOUS & NON VITREOUS ENAMEL COOKING SURFACES

After ignition, run the barbecue for 10 minutes with the burners on high, to heat up the cooking area. A little cooking fat (or oil) on the cooking surfaces will prevent sticking. Immediately after adding the oil, place items onto the cooking surfaces. NOTE: When cooking on vitreous enamel 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.

FOR STAINLESS STEEL COOKING SURFACES

Approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking, all chilled, raw food items should be removed from the refrigerator, as room temperature food will have a shorter cooking time and minimize warping of the stainless steel hot plate. After ignition, run the barbecue for 5 minutes with the burners on high, to heat the cooking area to the ideal cooking temperature (between 145-160ºC). Once this temperature has been reached, apply a small amount of oil to both the hot plate and grill plate. Everdure recommends the use of Canola oil, or oils with a high smoke point (such as Sunflower or Safflower). Immediately after adding the oil, place items onto the cooking surfaces.

Turn burners down a little when full heat is not required and to LOW when not cooking. Cooking time for a 20mm thick steak cooked to medium on the char grill is approximately 15 minutes (7.5 minutes per side) with the burners on high.

During cooking, fat and scrapings will drip through to the fat tray. Do not allow excess fat to build up in the fat tray. Clean the fat tray and replace the aluminium foil before use.

COOKING USING THE HOOD

With the roasting hood open, ignite the four outside burners and turn the outside two to Hi, and the middle two to Low, as per the barbecue instructions. Ensure that the central two burners are off. Close the roasting hood and allow 10 minutes for pre cooking time. During the 10 minutes, the roast can be prepared. Place 2cms of water into a domestic oven proof roasting tin of maximum size 40cm x 30cm x 5cms deep. Place a suitably sized rack into the roasting tin. Place the item to be cooked centrally onto the rack, so that any surplus fat and grease will drip into the water. The water will also keep the food moist during the cooking process. After the 10 minute pre heat time is complete, open the roasting hood and place the roasting tin centrally onto the grill plate. Close the roasting hood. The whole cooking

STYLE, GRILLED TO PERFECTION

process is controlled using the left and right hand burners to give an ideal cooking temperature. Naturally the degree of heat required will very much depend on the weather conditions at the time of cooking. A guide for roasting beef is to allow 30 to 50 minutes cooking time per kilogram for rare and well done respectively. It is recommended that for evenness, the item being cooked is turned over at approximately half way through the cooking time. Ensure on Low. This is most important as severe overheating and spoilt food will result if the two central burners are left on Hi. This is a general guide for roasting only – please check www.everdure.com

that the centre burners remain Off, leaving only the two outside burners on Hi and the adjacent burners

for any updated cooking guides.

AFTER COOKING

1. When finished, make sure burner control knobs are turned OFF.

2. TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE CYLINDER.

3. After cooking and whilst the barbecue is still warm, remove scraps from the grill with a scraper.

4. Excess fat and meat scraps can be scraped off the vapouriser by removing the grill to gain access. WARNING: Some surfaces may still be hot – please use protective gloves.

5. Clean the fat tray and replace the aluminium foil after or before each use of the appliance.

6. Once the barbecue is cool close the roasting hood and wipe off any fat splatter from the trolley with a clean rag.

LIGHTING SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS

Check that the barbecue wiring is connected to the power pack (screwed onto the top of the power pack). Check that the lighting switch is off, and plug the power pack into the power supply. With the power supply on, the lighting switch at the front right hand corner of the barbecue can be used to turn the lights on and off. When not in use, the unit should be disconnected from the power supply and all cords stored within the trolley.

CLEANING & STORAGE

CLEANING

Before cleaning, ensure the appliance has cooled and is safe to touch. Painted surfaces can be cleaned using a mild household detergent or cleaner and a clean cloth (do not use scourers or harsh detergents). It is advisable to test cleaners on a small section of the appliance first. The brass burner and spill bowl of the wok burner can be cleaned by removing the trivet. NEVER use paint thinners or similar solvents for cleaning and NEVER pour cold water over hot surfaces. Over time, stainless steel will be affected by “tea staining” or “bronzing” (brown discoloration of stainless steel). This can be reduced by washing the surface with mild detergent and warm water, followed by rinsing with clean cold water. Dry the surface afterwards.

For vitreous enamel and stainless steel cooking surfaces only: Starting from cold, pre-heat the cooking surfaces for 5 minutes (do not overheat, as this can make them difficult to clean). During this 5 minutes, carefully remove any excess oil with paper towels or a cotton rag. After the 5 minutes warm up, turn off the burners, and carefully clean with soapy water and a mild scourer, rinsing the scourer occasionally. Finish by cleaning with a damp paper towel or damp cotton cloth.

WARNING! The surfaces of the plates will be hot. Please ensure protective gloves are worn.

STORAGE

When the appliance is not in use, the cylinder valve must be turned OFF, the appliance and the cylinder together must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area. However it is permissible to store the appliance (but not the cylinder) indoors. Ensure a small amount of fat or oil is on the barbecue plates to prevent rust.

WARNING

When the gas cylinder is disconnected, replace the plug or cap on the valve outlet.

: STORE CYLINDER IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

For extended storage it is suggested that the primary air port of the burners be covered against the penetration of insects or vermin. Spiders and small insects can spin webs or nest in the burner rails/tubes, which could lead to obstruction in the gas and air flow, resulting in a fire in an around the burner rails/tubes. This type of fire is called a flash-back and can cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition. To prevent this, regularly inspect and clean the burners. A barbecue cover can be placed over the appliance for extra protection, and to reduce this.
