GAS LEAK TESTING

It is important that you leak test the BBQ before ﬁrst use and every time the gas cylinder is reﬁlled and reconnected to the BBQ.

To Complete Leak Test

• Make sure all the control knobs are OFF.

• In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent/soap.

• Mix the solution well (about the same concentrate as washing up water).

• Turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob anti-clockwise.

• Using a brush or spay bottle apply the soap solution to the gas line and each join in the gas line including:

- the gas connection at the inlet of the BBQ

- all gas hose connections

- the gas connecftion at the gas cylinder

• If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak.

• If the leak is at the hose connection, re-tighten and re-seal.

• If the leak is anywhere else or you cannot resolve the leak by tightening the connection DO NOT PROCEED.

• Turn the gas cylinder off clockwise.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Location of your Barbecue

DO NOT use your barbecue in garages, porches, sheds, breezeways, or other enclosed areas. Your barbecue is to be used OUTDOORS. The barbecue is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats and should not be placed under any surface that will burn. Do not obstruct the ﬂow of combustion and ventilation air around the barbecue housing.

Protect Children

Keep children away from barbecue during use and until barbecue has cooled after you have ﬁnished. Do not allow children to operate barbecue.

Always ensure that no sporting or physical activities are carried out in close proximity to the barbecue during use and while still hot.

Tools You Will Need

Adjustable spanner, Philips head screwdriver.

Check Barbecue for any Damage

Inspect barbecue parts as you proceed. Contact your supplier for assistance regarding replacement of any damaged or missing parts. Do not assemble or operate a barbecue that appears damaged. Barbecues for use with gas cylinders are labelled ‘Propane Gas’ or ‘Universal L.P.G’. Check labelling at the gas connection on your barbecue.

IMPORTANT

• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should be inspected and cleaned periodically.

• This appliance must only be serviced by an authorised person.

• To avoid any ﬂare-ups, it is recommended that the drip tray be checked and emptied regularly. Contents of the drip tray may be very hot during cooking. If emptied during extended cooking extreme caution should be taken and direct contact by hand should be avoided at all times. Allow to cool completely before disposing of the contents.

As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your new gas barbecue is no exception. By following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your barbecue will be kept clean and working properly with minimum effort.

Flash-Back

Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to a gas ﬂow obstruction which could result in a ﬁre in and around the burner tubes. Cleaning with a soft brush before use and at least every six months is recommended.

This type of ﬁre is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASHBACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.

If ﬁre occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner ports.

Cleaning the Cooking Surface

After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let barbecue cool before attempting to clean the cooking surface. Before ﬁrst use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the cooking surface in a mild soap and warm water solution.

Care of Cooking Surface

Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not use pans on the cooking surface. Do not overheat the cooking surface with the hood down or no food on the cooking surface.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue remove and empty the drip tray after each use. Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch before disposing of contents.

The drip tray should be washed periodically in a mild detergent and warm water solution.
