GENERAL ASSEMBLY

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.

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.

Remove all point-of-sale material from the barbecue.

Burner Operation & Ignition System Check

1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position press the electronic
igniter button. Check for sparking to the burners.

2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition point,

check that the ignition lead is rmly attached to the

control and sparker tip.

3. With sparking established turn the cylinder valve ‘ON’.
Then push and turn a control knob anti-clockwise to
HIGH whilst simultaneously pressing the igniter button.

4. If the burner fails to light after several attempts turn
off gas supply at cylinder and inspect for obstructions

to gas ow.

Side Burner

1. Lift up the lid 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 electronic ignitor.

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.

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.

• Important: The appliance control knob must be in
the ‘OFF’ position before opening the cylinder valve.

• Subsequent burners will cross light.

• Check performance of burner prior to installing
barbecue plates.

• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite the
barbecue.

• Never use volcanic rock, heatbeads or other material.

• Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.

• 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.

• If re–ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue
is still hot, you must wait for a minimum of 5
minutes before commencing to re–ignite (this allows

accumulated gas fumes to clear).

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 low to 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.

Problem Possible Reason Solution

Burner will not ignite

Valve on cylinder is closed Open valve on cylinder

Control knob is closed Turn knob to high when lighting

Electronic igniter is faulty Use a long barbecue match

Food is not cooking

or is taking too long

Burner has gone out Check that the gas bottle is not

empty and re-ignite the burner

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

Remove the food and give the burner
time to warm the cooking surface

(5-10 minutes)

There is too much food on the
cooking surface

Cook smaller portions

Burner Operation & Ignition System Check

Adjust the control knob to maintain the temperature around
the medium mark (approx. 200o to 230oC).

Approximate Cooking Time

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cleaning the Grill Plates

After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let barbecue

cool before attempting to clean the grill plates. Before rst

use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the grill
plates in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use
a wash cloth to clean your barbecue plates.

Care of Cooking Surface

Use and care of the cooking surface is important.
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. A small amount of
water can be placed in the drip tray before use to help with
fat removal. 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.

Refer to Care & Use Guidelines for more information.

IMPORTANT:

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

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.
