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 spray 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 connection 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.

FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY

WARNING: Improper installation, adjustment,
alteration, service or maintenance can cause injury
or property damage.

Read the instructions thoroughly before installing or
servicing this equipment.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

Burner Operation & Ignition System Check

1. Turn the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.

2. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle. Turn the gas
supply “ON” at the cylinder. Check with the use of
soapy water for any gas leakage between the bottle
and the regulator

3. Push down a control knob and keep pressing whilst
turning anti-clockwise to the “HIGH” position whilst
also pressing the ignition button (a clicking sound is
heard), this will light the burner. If the burner does not
light,repeat this process.

4. If the burner still does not light, turn the control knob
to ‘OFF’ wait 5 minutes and repeat step 3.

5. Adjust the heat by turning the knob to the High/Low
position.

IMPORTANT

• NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails to produce
a spark at the electrode, barbecue can be lit by
a long barbecue match. With hood open insert
lighted match into match lighting hole positioned
on the side of the BBQ body. Push and turn a
control knob to ‘HIGH’. Burner ignition can be
checked through this hole.

• Never use the side burner with the lid in the
closed position. Never attempt to the light the
side burner with a pot over the burner. Light
the burner first ,and then place the pot over the
burner.

• DO NOT USE THE ROTISSERIE BURNER WHEN
MAIN BURNERS ARE IN OPERATION.

• The hood must be in the open position for
lighting.

• Do not leave the barbecue unattended when
alight.

• Never use all burners on high at the same time
when cooking with the hood down.

6. To turn the barbecue ‘OFF’, turn the cylinder valve
to the ‘OFF’ position and then turn all of the control
knobs on the appliance clockwise to the ‘OFF’
position.

If the rotisserie back burner fails to remain alight or the
flame pattern is disturbed, ensure it is not facing into a
direct wind. Re-position the direction of the BBQ, wait 5
minutes, and try the lighting procedure again.

Before cooking for the first time, operate the barbecue for
about 15 minutes with the lid closed and the gas turned
on HIGH. This will “heat clean” the internal parts.

Ignition system check

Problem: Burner will not ignite

Possible Reason Solution

Valve on cylinder
is closed

Control knob is off Turn knob to high when

Igniter is faulty Use a long barbecue

Open valve on cylinder

OPERATING PROCEDURE

Burn-off

The cooking surface does not need any burn-off time
after first use.

Preheating

It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least 5
minutes before cooking certain foods, depending on the
type of food and the cooking temperature. Food that
requires a low cooking temperature, needs only a period
of 2-3 minutes preheating.

Cooking Temperatures

‘HIGH’ setting - Use this setting only for fast warm up, for
searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue
from the grill plates after cooking is over. Rarely, if ever,
do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting for extended cooking.

‘MEDIUM’ setting (mid-way between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’).
Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking
hamburgers and vegetables.

‘LOW’ setting - Use this setting when cooking very lean
cuts such as fish.

These temperatures vary with outside temperature and
the amount of wind.

Roasting

For best results when roasting remove the hotplate and
centre the grill. The outer two burners should be used on
the low to medium setting.

Adjust the control knob to maintain the temperature
around the medium mark.

Approximate Cooking Time

The table below shows approximate cooking times with
the control set to ‘MEDIUM’ temperature.
