LOCATION OF YOUR BBQ

IMPORTANT - BBQS MUST BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, LOCAL
GAS FITTING REGULATIONS AND MUNICIPAL BUILDING CODES.

Think carefully when deciding on a location where you are to use your
bbq. The bbq must not be installed under or on any combustible
material and must be a level surface.
Minimum clearance from any combustible materials on ALL sides is
430mm (18”). Minimum clearance from any combustible material from
the TOP of the bbq is 1000mm (39”). (Fig. 1)

- Not to be used in garages, porches, breezeways, sheds, or other
enclosed areas

- Not to be used on recreational vehicles

- Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation air around the bbq

CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER

There are two different types of gas that can be used on your gas bbq
depending on where you live, that being either butane or propane gas.
Both are supplied in gas cylinders. The connection between the gas
cylinder and the bbq is made with a regulator. (Fig. 2)

(Fig. 2)

It is important that you use the correct regulator for the particular type
of gas you purchase. See your local gas dealer for information on
purchasing the correct regulator. Never operate this bbq without a gas
regulator. This bbq is supplied with a propane regulator.

THE HOSE AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY (Fig. 3)

- Must be suitable for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

- Must withstand the above pressures

- Must not exceed 1000mm (39”) in length

- The bbq is supplied with a 1/4” BSP LHT adaptor and screw on hose
that is suitable for direct connection of a suitable regulator

- Before connection inspect the hose, its fittings and ruber seals. If
there is any sign of cracking, splitting or wear, have the hose replaced

- While in use, keep the hose unobstructed and free of kinks and

twisting

GAS CYLINDER SAFETY

- Always change over a gas cylinder away from any possible source
of ignition in a well ventilated area

- Do not smoke whilst handling gas cylinders

- Never store gas cylinder indoors

- Store away from direct heat in a well ventilated area

- The gas cylinder is position on a flat surface

- Always keep the gas cylinder in an upright position

- Close cylinder valve when bbq is not in use and, if available, use a
sealing plug to prevent possible leaks

- Do not tamper with any fitting attached to any gas cylinder. Have it
taken to the manufacturer or an authorized testing station

- When the cylinder runs out of gas, have it refilled or swapped at an
authorized testing station. They will fill the cylinder to no more than

80% of its capacity. This allows the gas to expand with temperatures

WHAT IS PROPANE / BUTANE?

It is a fuel gas compressed until it turns to liquid, then stored in a bottle
or cylinder under pressure for easy transport.

ARE ALL GAS BOTTLE GASES THE SAME?

No. The LPG that cars use is know as auto LPG. It is different to
propane/butane, which is used in household gas appliances. This manual
only deals with propane/butane.

HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM NATURAL GAS?

Propane and butane are similar to natural gas. They are colorless,
non-poisonous and do not pollute when burnt. There is one important
difference, propane and butane are heavier than air, if they escape they
don’t float away. The gas collects and forms gas pools at ground level or
at the bottom of your appliance.

SECURING THE HOSE AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY

Screw on hose connection (Fig. 4)

- The bbq’s manifold connection is 1/4” Male Thread BSP

- The connection between the hose and regulator and the bbq should

always be tightened with a spanner. ‘Finger tight’ only is NOT sufficient.

N.B. IMMEDIATLY PERFORM GAS LEAK CHECK AS SHOWN ON PAGE 2 AND 25
TO ENSURE SAFE CONNECTION.

(Fig. 4)

LIGHTING YOUR BBQ

JET FLAME IGNITION SYSTEM
Upon turning any burner control knob you will hear an audible
“click”. This is known as a Jet Flame Ignition System.

TESTING FOR LEAKS - DO THIS BEFORE USING YOUR BBQ

NOTE - DO NOT test for gas leaks with an open flame.

If you smell gas, turn off at the source

Before first use and periodically during the season, or whenever a gas

cylinder is changed, you must check for gas leaks.

Do so by:

- Turn on the gas cylinder

- Turn all gas valves on the bbq to the off position

- Brush a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water
to all gas connections

- The presence of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten or repair as necessary

- Under no circumstances should a naked flame be used to check for leaks

- If a gas odour is present and no leaks can be found, do not use the
bbq. Turn the gas off at the source, disconnect the hose and
immediately contact your bbq dealer or place of purchase for
assistance

-The low position is obtained by turning the knob fully anti-clockwise

- Adjusting the control knob to your heat requirements allows you to

control the flame

- If ignition cannot be achieved see the troubleshooting section:

If bbq fails to operate properly

Jet Flame Ignition to ALL burners

- Before starting - ALL burner control knobs must be in the off
position (Fig.8)

- Flat lids and roasting hoods must be OPEN before lighting

- Turn on the gas cylinder

- Push in and turn Any Knob in an anti-clockwise
direction to the hi position or until a click is heard. This will trigger
a spark to light the burner

- If burner does not light immediately, turn the gas control knob to the

off position and wait five minutes for any accumulated gas to clear

out of the bbq before repeating procedure

FIRST TIME USE OF BBQ

- Before using the bbq for the first time, it should be first wiped with a
mild soap and water solution to remove any dust

-Make sure your BBQ is on a solid level surface

- Dry cooking surface and apply a light coating of cooking oil

- Light the barbecue and leave burning for 30 minutes on the low

position, with hood up. This is to burn off any residual or foreign
matter on the grills.

PREHEATING

Light the burners as previously directed, turn to low and allow the bbq
to preheat for 2-5 minutes. Adjust control to medium cooking temperature,
the hood must be closed while doing this.

EXCEEDING 250 Degrees CAN DAMAGE THE BBQ AND VOID
YOUR WARRANTY

IMPORTANT - It is important that all control valves, and the gas cylinder
are turned off after use.

(Fig.8)

FIRST USE AFTER LONG PERIODS

At the start of each bbq season or before using after
a long period of time:

- Read this operation manual again thoroughly

- Set burner controls to off and connect gas supply

- Check all gas valve orifices, burner tubes and connections for

obstructions

- Check that all burners are in their correct positions

- Check to see if the gas cylinder is full

- Check for gas leaks using a soapy water solution

- Ensure all grills and hotplates are clean before use

PREPARE THE COOKING SURFACE

It is preferable to apply a light coat of cooking oil using a long handled
brush to the cooking surface prior to lighting each time. The oil will keep
the food from sticking to the cooking surface. Also see CAST IRON COOKING
SURFACES in the maintenance section below for ongoing maintenance
instructions.

Note: The heat distribution plates disperses the heat from the burners.

This results in a uniform heat zone beneath the cooking grill.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BBQ

PROTECTION

Keep your bbq beneath a weather cover and out of the rain. Proper
care and maintenance will keep your bbq in top operating condition
and prolong its life.

CLEANING THE COOKING SURFACES

Allow your bbq to continue burning for 5 minutes after cooking has
ceased, which will burn off excess fats and juices etc. that may block
the flame ports of the burners. To keep your bbq ready for the next time,
turn the burners to off then take a long handled brush and brush the
cooking surface to remove excess oils and food scraps. Be careful as
surfaces are hot. Protect your hands by using an oven mitt to hold the
brush.
Allow to cool before washing in a warm soapy solution. Rinse off with
clean water and dry before returning to bbq

CLEANING THE BBQ BODY

The body of the bbq should be cleaned regularly dependant on the use
and type of food cooked. Use warm soapy solution.

FAT FIRES ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY

CLEANING THE BURNERS

Occasionally after long cooking sessions, excess fats, juices and
marinades can clog the burners. If so, remove the burners (see

removing burners section) for cleaning.

- Clean by washing in hot water and detergant

- Ensure that all burner ports are free from obstruction

- Rinse in water

- Light immediately to prevent rust and corrosion

- Brush lightly with cooking oil if bbq is not used for an extended period

CLEANING THE FLAME TAMERS

Periodically wash in a warm soapy solution. Use a wire brush to remove
stubborn burnt on cooking residue if necessary. Dry thoroughly before
re-installing to the bbq body.

CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY

- IMPORTANT - the drip tray should be cleaned on a regular basis. If this

is ignored, a build up of fats and greases may cause a fire in the bbq

- When using a rotisserie please line the drip tray with a fat soak.

- More frequent cleaning may be necessary as usage demands

CAST IRON COOKING SURFACES (on specific models)

Cast Iron requires curing/seasoning after each use if possible or on a
regular basis. After cleaning as above, lightly coat the grills and griddle
top and bottom with cooking oil, either with a brush or aerosol spray.
Replace all the cooking surfaces back into the barbecue, light the burners
and turn them to low for at least 15 minutes. Your cooking surfaces are
now seasoned.
Note: Curing/seasoning cast iron will help to slow corrosion.

REMOVING BURNERS - Necessary care to be undertaken

- Make sure the bbq has been switched off and has completely cooled
down

- Ensure all gas control knobs are set to the off position and the gas
cylinder has been turned off and disconnected

- Lift the grill or hotplate off the bbq

- Unscrew control panel bolts on both sides as shown in (Fig.9)

- Unscrew retaining screw holding the burner in place as show in

the enlarged image in (Fig.11)

(Fig.9)

- Hold the control panel underneath and pull towards you gently but

firmly as shown in (Fig.10)

TROUBLESHOOTING

IF BBQ FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY

- Stop, turn off gas at its source and turn all burner controls to
OFF

- Do not smoke

- Check gas supply connections

- Repeat lighting procedure after waiting for five minutes for

accumulated gases to disperse

If bbq still fails to operate properly TURN OFF GAS AT SOURCE,
TURN BURNER CONTROLS TO OFF, wait for bbq to cool and check
the following:

a) Misalignment of burner tubes over orifices

CORRECTION: Reposition burner tube to properly sit over orifice

b) Obstruction in gas line

CORRECTION: Remove hose from bbq. Open gas supply for one
second to clear any obstruction from hose. Close off gas supply at

source and re-connect hose to bbq

c) Blocked orifice

CORRECTION: Remove burners as described previously. Inspect gas
valve orifice, clear any obstruction with a fine wire. Re-install
burners over orifices and test again

IF THERE IS A LEAK

- Turn the gas cylinder off

- Ventilate the area to disperse any accumulated gas

- Check all connections

- If the leak persists, keep cylinder upright and take to an open area

- Keep skin away from any gas or liquid escaping from the cylinder

- Keep the cylinder at least 20 meters away from any sparks or ignition

sources including electrical equipment, camera flash, engines or

motors

- Disperse gas by providing maximum ventilation and spraying with a
fine water spray

LED CONTROL KNOBS NOT WORKING (on specific models)

- Check and replace batteries if required (4x AA Batteries)

- Check that wires are connected together correctly

IF THERE IS A FIRE

- If there is a fire at the appliance, turn the gas off at the cylinder.

- Smother the flames with a wet cloth

If there is a fire at the cylinder or you cannot get to the valve to

turn it off

- call the fire brigade

- direct a garden hose to the middle of the cylinder to keep it cool,

however do not extingish the flame. If the gas is burning it wont
build up and explode

- Evacuate the area

A note on fire prevention:

Most fires in outdoor bbqs are caused by a build up of greases and fat,
or gas connections which have not been secured properly. Remember

to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on proper cleaning and

connection procedures.

INSECTS

Spiders and insects can occasionally spin webs or make nests in the

burner tubes.
These can obstruct gas flow which could result in a fire. This is known

as “Flashback” and can cause serious damage to the bbq and create

an unsafe operating environment.
Frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is recommended.

Care and Safety Advice

- TAKE CARE Grills are heavy

- Clean grills after each use for continued optimum performance.

- Roasting dishes can be placed on top of the grills.

- When using a rotisserie with the barbecue, always ensure that you

remove all grills, griddles and warming rack brfore use. Ensure the the

drip tray is lined with fat absobant material such as fatsoak before using

the rotisserie.

- For safety and optimum performance ensure that your barbecue is on

a level, solid surface.

- Empty the fat from the drip tray responsibly after each use.
