ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
The manufacturer and their appointed agents decline any responsibility in the case of assembly not being in
accordance with these instructions. You will require a Philips head screwdriver and adjustable wrench for
assembly purposes and you should also refer to exploded view / parts list as necessary.
Refer to steps in FIGURES 1, 2 & 3 above.
1. Remove all packing material and literature from the carton.
2. Attach the legs to the cooker frame with the screws (Screw A) supplied tighten the screws.
3. Insert the bolt through the spring (Figure 4), and install the set into the screw
hole at the front left of the venturi of the burner hand (See Step 2 of Figure
1,2,and 3). This bolt is used to control the air, read “Lighting the burner” page 5
for more information
4. Insert the burners and secure with the front and rear screws (Screw A) – do not
tighten the screws yet.
5. Attach the gas valve/s to the front of the burners by screw on the valve
(GB01LP Only) or with screws (Screw B, you may need to shift the burners
slightly to the right position to align the screw holes) - tighten the screws. Then
tighten the screws for the burner heads.
PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL BE A SIGNITIFATE AEROATION HOLES BESIDE
THE INLET OF THE BURNER HEAD/S. THIS IS NORMAL. THE HOLES ARE FOR LETTING AIR IN FOR
COMBUSTION.
6. Attach the outlet of the gas supply hose to the inlet connection at the gas manifold and tighten the connection
fully in a clockwise direction using a suitable spanner.
7. Connect the regulator end of the gas supply hose to the LPG cylinder and tighten the connection fully in a
counter-clockwise direction.
8. You must check for gas leaks before use and whenever a fitting (hose or regulator) is disconnected or
reconnected, or cylinder is refilled – To check for gas leaks, open the cylinder valve with the appliance gas
valves in the ‘OFF’ position and check for leakage by brushing a solution of detergent and water on to the
connection points at the bottle and the appliance. If bubbling is evident (may take up to 30 seconds to appear)
this indicates a gas leak is present. If disassembling, cleaning, reassembling and tightening the connection
does not rectify the leak you should close the gas cylinder valve and consult the place of purchase for
assistance.
WARNING: YOU MUST NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME TO TEST FOR GAS LEAKS.
GAS TYPE
These country cookers are suitable for use with propane gas (LP) only and cylinder sizes 4.5 kg or larger with a
POL fitting. Only cylinders which comply with AS2030.1 should be used. It may be hazardous to attempt to fit
other types of gas containers
PRECAUTIONS
Select a suitable position for the country cooker. It is important to ensure maximum performance, economy
and safety of operation.
Always ensure that adequate fresh air is provided for ventilation.
The country cooker must only be operated OUTDOORS and on a level firm non-combustible surface.
Spiders’ webs can interfere with the flow of gas / air into the burner causing yellow or abnormal flame. The
opening into the burner directly in front of the gas valve should be checked and cleared with a pipe cleaner or
similar length device.
The country cooker is a portable outdoor appliance and is not designed to be installed
This cooker shall not be used in a position where it could create a fire hazard and the following minimum
clearances to combustible materials must be observed: MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM COUNTRY COOKER
TO REAR OR SIDES OF COMBUSTIBE SURFACES MUST BE NO LESS THAN 250MM AND TO
OVERHEAD COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES NO LESS THAN 1200MM.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING THE BURNER:
1. Before lighting, ensure the country cooker is on a level non-combustible surface outdoors and required
minimum Clearances from combustible surfaces are maintained as follows: at least 250mm from REAR OR
SIDES and at least 1200mm OVERHEAD.
2. Check the gas hose and rubber seal or ‘O’ ring of regulator inlet fitting for signs of damage, abrasion or
cracking – PVC hoses may harden with age - replace the hose and regulator assembly if any damage is
evident.
3. Ensure the gas supply hose is connected to the gas inlet of the country cooker and the regulator is
connected to the LP cylinder and check that both connections are tight – refer sections 5 & 6 of assembly
instructions.
4. Turn on the LP cylinder valve in a counter clockwise direction and check for gas leaks as previously
described in section 7 of the assembly instructions.
5. Turn the appliance control valve counter-clockwise until the lever is in line with the burner and light the
burner with a long taper or long match.
6. Turn the bolt at the left hand side of the venturi back and forth until you get nice blue flame. This step is
important, as it ensures there is a right mix of air and gas to achieve a blue flame.
7. The burner may now be adjusted to the desired flame setting.
Turn control valve clockwise for low flame or counter-clockwise for high flame.
SHUTTING DOWN THE BURNER:
1. Turn LP cylinder gas valve fully clockwise to “OFF” position. The gas must always be turned off at the
cylinder to ensure there is no gas flow and that no gas remains in the regulator, hose and appliance during
non-use/storage.
2. Once the flame has gone out, Turn appliance control valve(s) to “OFF” position, which is at 90 to the line
of the burner.
DO NOT TOUCH HOT SURFACES, ALLOW THE COUNTRY COOKER TO COOL BEFORE CLEANING IF
NECESSARY.
ANCILLARY SERVICE INFORMATION
MAINTENANCE
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS FOR LISCENSED GAS FITTER OR PLUMBER.
(a) Remove all covers and other parts for access to all components.
(b) Remove all components for services.
Do not attempt any maintenance within 30 minutes of country cooker being used.
Burner ports may be cleaned with either compressed air or pipe cleaner or similar device.
Any spiders’ webs formed in the burner inlet must be cleared with a pipe cleaner or similar length device.
Caution: Operation of the burner with a web in the inlet may result in leakage and/or ignition of gas at the burner
inlet.
It is also recommended that the hose assembly and regulator inlet fitting seals be checked for damage, abrasion,
cracking or displacement before each use. PVC hose assemblies may harden with age and should be replaced if
this occurs. If a replacement part or assembly is required please contact place of purchase or an authorised agent
for advice.

observed during operation of the appliance: sooting / carbon build up on the appliance or pans, excessive yellow
tipping of the burner flame, flames lifting off the burner ports or flashing back. Flame abnormality may be due to
gas supply restriction or blockage of burner ports or venturi. Gas spillage may occur if the burner inlet is partially
blocked by a spider web, the gas may ignite around the burner inlet.
It is recommended that an authorised person/service agent perform all maintenance.
