Familiarise yourself with the general information and safety
guidelines located at the front of this manual.
Check:
1. The cylinder is filled. 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

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 flow of gas) have a safety feature included
that restricts gas flow 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 flow is
restricted.
These steps should be taken first 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 first 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 firmly 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 five 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.

OPERATING PROCEDURE
Burn Off Cooking Surfaces
We recommend operating your barbecue on its highest
setting for 15-20 minutes prior to first 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 fish.
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 flat 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. 200
o
to 230oC).
Approximate Cooking Time
The table below shows approximate cooking times with the
control set to ‘MEDIUM’ temperature.

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 flow obstruction which could
result in a fire in and around the burner tubes.
This type of fire 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 fire 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 first
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 flare-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.
