GENERAL INFORMATION

Connecting & Disconnecting to Gas Source

IMPORTANT:

• Before connecting and disconnecting barbecue
to gas source, make sure burner controls are in

‘OFF’ position.

• CAUTION: When the barbecue is not in use, the
gas must be turned off at the cylinder.

• Check that the seals between the barbecue
and the gas cylinder are in place and in good
condition before connecting the gas cylinder.

• Do not use this appliance if it has damaged or
worn seals.

Familiarise yourself with the general information and
safety guidelines located at the front of this manual.

Check:

1. The cylinder is lled. A sloshing sound will be heard

when shaken.

2. The burner controls are in the ‘OFF’ position.

Connecting

1. Ensure cylinder valve is in its full off position.

2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder connection

or the hose. NEVER attempt to use damaged equipment.

3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the
nut to a positive stop by hand.

4. Open cylinder valve fully. If a leak can be heard at
either end of the hose turn cylinder off and tighten
joint. Wait 5 minutes before re-testing and use a soapy
water solution to check the joint. If bubbles appear the
connection will need to be re-tightened.

Refer to P13 for more detailed instructions on

connecting the appliance to the cylinder.

Regulator Safety Feature

All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas

cylinder to regulate the ow of gas) have a safety feature
included that restricts gas ow in the event of a gas leak.

You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without
having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on
the gas using the barbecue control knob before you turn on
the gas cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety feature
activates, the barbecue will operate with reduced output as

gas ow is restricted.

These steps should be taken rst to reset the gas regulator

safety device:

1. Ensure the barbecue hood is open.

2. Turn gas cylinder valve off.

3. Turn off all control knobs.

4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.

5. Wait 30 seconds.

6. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.

7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.

8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve all the way. Do not
put excessive force on the valve at the full open posi­tion, to avoid damaging the valve.

9. Light barbecue as per the instructions provided.

Disconnecting

1. Ensure the burner control is in the ‘OFF’ position.

2. Ensure cylinder valve is in the full off position.

For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the
cylinder only, DO NOT disconnect hose from appliance.

14

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

Before lighting your barbecue for the rst time, read the

instructions fully to ensure the barbecue is assembled
correctly and is ready for use.

Burner Operation & Ignition System Check

1. Open the hood of the barbecue before attempting to
light the burners.

2. Turn all the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.

3. With cylinder valve in ‘CLOSE’ position press the piezo
igniter button (a single click is heard). Check for
sparking to the burners.

control and sparker tip.

5. With sparking established turn the cylinder valve to
‘OPEN’.

6. Push and turn control knob anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’
and press the igniter button again.

7. If the burner fails to ignite after several attempts turn
off gas supply at cylinder valve and the control knob

off (clockwise). Wait ve minutes before attempting to
relight with ignition sequence.

8. Following successful ignition, to ignite remaining
burners, turn control knobs to the HIGH position
starting with the burner closest to the ignition burner.

9. Adjust the heat by turning each control knob to the
“HIGH”/”LOW” position.

10. To turn the barbecue ‘OFF’ turn the cylinder valve to
the ‘CLOSE’ position, then turn the control knobs on
the barbecue clockwise to the ‘OFF’ 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. Light remaining
burners by cross-lighting.

• Check performance of burner prior to installing
BBQ plates.

• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite BBQ.

• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other
material.

• Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.

Side Burner

1. Lift up the cover and ensure it is always open when
the burner is alight.

2. Push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to HIGH
whilst pressing the piezo ignitor (a single click is
heard). This will light the side burner. Observe if the
burner has lit. If not, repeat this process.

3. If the burner fails to light after several attempts turn
the control knob to OFF and wait a few minutes before
attempting re-ignition.

Cooking surface was not given enough time
to warm up before the food was applied

There is too much food on the
cooking surface

Remove the food and give the burner time to
warm the cooking surface (5-10 minutes)

Cook smaller portions

OPERATING PROCEDURE

Burn Off Cooking Surfaces

We recommend operating your barbecue on its highest

setting for 15-20 minutes prior to rst use. This aids

removing the oils used during manufacturing. Allow the
cooking surface to cool then we recommend seasoning
it before use. Season your cooking surface by coating
lightly with vegetable oil and bringing slowly up to a high
temperature (do not use olive oil as this burns off at a low
temperature). For best use your cooking surface should
be seasoned two or three times throughout each barbecue
season.

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 sh.

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

When using the temperature gauge in the hood of your
barbecue please note that it measures air temperature.
The air temperature inside your barbecue will never be as
hot as the temperature of the cooking surface.

Roasting

For best results when roasting, the outer two burners
should be used on the medium setting. Use of the high
setting with the hood down may result in burnt food.

Remove the at hotplate to help with heat circulation.

Preheat the barbecue for a few minutes. Place a roasting
rack or aluminium foil dish onto the ribbed hot plate and
place the meal to be roasted onto the rack or into the dish
and close the hood.

Refer to Care & Use Guidelines for more information.

IMPORTANT:

The side burner is designed for use with a wok or
cooking pot up to 200mm in diameter.

Use of larger pots may result in discolouration of

the nish.

The hood must be in the open position for lighting.

Do not smoke at any time when attempting to
ignite the barbecue burners.

Do not leave the barbecue unattended when alight.

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

16

CARE & MAINTENANCE

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

If re 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 as described in lighting and
operating procedure.

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 ow obstruction which could
result in a re in and around the burner tubes. Cleaning

with a soft brush before use and at least every six months
is recommended.

This type of re 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 ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the

most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning

of the burner tubes is necessary.

Cleaning the Cooking Surface

After cooking, turn burner control to OFF and let barbecue
cool before attempting to clean your grill plates. Before

rst use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the

grill plates in a mild soap and warm water solution.

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 are-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.

Refer to Care & Use Guidelines for more information.

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 Fat Cup

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

The fat cup should be washed periodically in a mild
detergent and warm water solution.
