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 P19 for more detailed instructions on connecting
the appliance to the cylinder.

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.

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.

IMPORTANT: The appliance control knob must be in

the ‘OFF’ position before opening the cylinder valve.

Check performance of burner prior to installing

barbecue plates.
Do not smoke when attempting to ignite barbecue.
Never use volcanic rock, heatbeads or other

material.
Always use protective gloves when handling hot

components.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

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.

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).

Note: If for some reason the ignitor fails to

produce a spark at the electrode, barbecue can be
lit by a long barbecue match or using the match
holder supplied. With hood open insert lighted
match into match lighting hole positioned at the
left side of the BBQ body. Push and turn far left
control knob to ‘HIGH’. Burner ignition can be
checked through this hole. Light remaining burners
by cross-lighting.

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. 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 ‘OFF’ position press the piezo

igniter button (a single click is heard). Check for

sparking to the burners.

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

check that the ignition lead is rmly attached to the

control and sparker tip.

5. With sparking established turn the cylinder valve ‘ON’.

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 ‘OFF’ position, then turn the control knobs on the
barbecue clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.

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.

5

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.

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.

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

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.

Adjust the control knob to maintain the temperature around

the medium mark (approx. 200o to 230oC).

Rotisserie Cooking

Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist, avourful

and attractive, as the turning food self bastes. Although the
rotisserie is best for larger pieces of meat or poultry, nearly
anything can be used if prepared properly.

Balancing the Food

The item that requires the most attention in rotisserie
cooking is balancing the food. The rotisserie must turn
evenly otherwise the stopping and starting action will cause
the food to cook unevenly and possibly burn the heavier
side.

The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform shape

and texture. To test if the food is balanced correctly when

secured, place the ends of the rotisserie skewer loosely in
the palms of your hands. If there is no tendency to roll,

give the spit a quarter turn. If it’s still stable give it a nal

quarter turn. It should rest without turning in each of these
positions. It can then be attached to the barbecue.

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.

6

Poultry

When using poultry, truss the birds tightly so that wings
and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird. The cavity
of the bird maybe stuffed prior to this if you wish. Pull the

neck skin down and using a small skewer x to the back

of the bird. Push the rotisserie skewer through lengthwise,
catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Centre the
bird and tighten with the holding forks. Test the balance as
described above.

Rolled Meat

A rolled piece of meat only requires the rotisserie skewer to
be inserted through the centre of the length of meat then
secured and balanced.

Unboned Meat

For meats which are unboned it is best to secure the
rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections.

When to Use Foil

If protuding bones or wings brown too quickly cover with
pieces of foil.

Setting up the Barbecue

When rotisserie cooking the majority of heat will come from
an indirect souce. In other words the burners at each end
of the barbecue are lit and the food is placed centrally with
no direct heat source underneath it.

Place the barbecue’s cooking pan in the central location
which will catch any drips from the food above. This
can then be used to make gravies and other sauces to
accompany the cooked meats. Place the hood down over
the food when you start to cook.

For foods with little fat you may wish to cook them directly
over one or two burners depending on the length of the
food, to give a charred effect. This should only be done
towards the end of the cooking for no longer than 10-15
minutes. Do not attempt this with foods that are fatty as

this will cause are-ups and excessive smoke. If you wish

to cook foods directly open the hood of the barbecue.

Cooking Times

This will vary according to the type and weight of food you
are cooking. Insert a meat thermometer into the centre of

the meat (avoiding bone) which will provide a temperature

guide for you.

The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately the

same as for oven cooking.

Refer to Care & Use Guidelines for more information.

Important: Never use all burners on high at the

same time when cooking with the hood down.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

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.

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.

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.
