is switched off, and that there are no sources of
ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near
before proceeding. Inspect the gas hose to ensure
it is free of any twisting or tension. The hose
should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks
that could obstruct free flow of gas. Apart from the
connection point, no part of the hose should touch
any hot barbecue parts. Always inspect the hose
for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use. If
the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with
hose suitable for use with LPG and meet the
national standards for the country of use. The
length of the hose shall not exceed 1.5m. N.B.-
The date on U.K. hose is the date of manufacture,
not the expiry date.
G3. Fixing the Re g ulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off
position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle
according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s
instructions.
G4. Leak Testing (To be performed in a wellventilated area.)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position.
Detach the barbecue control panel located across
the front of the barbecue body by pulling off the
control knobs and removing the control panel
retaining screws. Open the gas control valve on
the bottle or regulator. Check for leaks by
brushing a solution of ½ water and ½ soap over
all gas system joints, including all valve
connections, hose connections and regulator
connections. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to
test for leaks at anytime. If bubbles form over any
of the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas
supply and retighten all joints. Repeat test. If
bubbles form again, do not use the barbecue.
Please contact your local dealer for assistance.
Leak test annually, and whenever the gas bottle is
removed or replaced.
H. Operation
H1. nWarnings
nBefore proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION
section of this manual.
nThis barbecue is not designed to be used with
mor e than 5 0% of th e cook ing ar ea as a so lid
plate. Full coverage of plates will cause
excessive build-up of heat and damage the
barbecue.
H2. Preparation Before Cooking
Line the drip tray with aluminium foil and fill the
drip tray with dry sand. This will absorb excess
cooking fat and make cleaning easier. To prevent
foods from sticking to the porcelain, please use a
long handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking
or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session.
H3. Lighting the Barbecue Using the IntegraSpark Integrated Ignition System

then continue turning the control knob until a
click is heard and the burner is lit. If burner
does not light, turn off the gas by pushing and
holding the control knob in the “High” position
and turning to “Off”. The lighting sequence
can then be repeated 4-5 times until the
burner is lit. Ignite any of the remaining
burners in any order, as needed. Confirm
each burner is alight before igniting another
burner. If any burner fails to ignite after
following above procedure, turn all the knobs
to the off position. Close the gas valve on the
gas bottle. Wait five minutes. Reattempt all of
the above steps. If the barbecue still fails to
light, please refer to the manual ignition
instructions below.
• After ignition, turn the burners to the high
position for 3-5 minut es in order t o pre heat
