GENERAL ASSEMBLY
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
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.
Familiarise yourself with the general information and safety
guidelines located at the front of this manual.
Check:
1. Gas cylinder is lled. You will hear a sloshing sound
when you shake the cylinder.
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 or spanner.
4. Screw the hose into the combination gas valve/regulator.
The hose has to seal on the rubber washer inside the
regulator.
5. 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.
Caution: When not using this appliance turn gas off at
the cylinder.
Check that the seals between the appliance 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.
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position check the piezo
igniter. Lift the cooking plate up and check for sparking
to the burner.
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 push down and turn the
control knob to ‘HIGH’ and click the igniter.
4. If the burner fails to light after several attempts turn off
gas supply at cylinder and inspect for obstructions to
gas ow.
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 the hole on the right of the drip
tray and turn gas control to high.
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).
Check performance of burner prior to installing
barbecue plate.
Do not smoke when attempting to ignite barbecue.
Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other
material.
Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.
After Use
Turn the gas cylinder valve ‘OFF’ and wait for the ame to
go out. Then turn the appliance control valve to ‘OFF’.

OPERATING PROCEDURE
Burn-off
The cooking surface does not need any burn-off time. Due
to the nature of the coating, DO NOT use sharp or metallic
objects on the surface, as these will scratch the surface.
Preheating
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least 5
minutes before cooking any foods. This allows the cooking
surface to heat up sufciently.
Cooking
The control knob can be turned from ‘HIGH’ to ‘MED’ or
‘LOW’ depending on the heat required.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
The hood must be in the open position for lighting
and during use.
Do not smoke at any time when attempting to
ignite the barbecue burners.
Caution: Do not move the barbecue while it is in
operation.
Do not leave the barbecue unattended when
alight.
Gas containers shall be changed in a well ventilated location, preferably outside away from
people and any sources of ignition, such as naked
ames, pilot ames, electric heaters/equipment.
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.
Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should
be inspected and cleaned periodically.
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.
If there is a leak from your appliance (smell of gas)
and you cannot stop the gas ow, remove the
appliance to a well-ventilated location away from
any ignition source. Check for leaks using soapy
water. Do not try to detect leaks using a ame.
Only use the hose assembly as supplied with this
appliance for connection to the cylinder - DO NOT
USE ADAPTORS.
This appliance must only be serviced by an
authorised person.
Cleaning the Grill Plate
After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let barbecue
cool before attempting to clean the grill plate. Before rst
use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the grill
plate in a mild soap and warm water solution.
Care of Cooking Surface
Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not
use metal utensils or cut food on the cooking surface.
Use only plastic cooking utensils. 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. 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.
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.
