GAS INSTALLATION CODES
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the
barbecue is suitable for using the barbecue on bottled gas
.
A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of
2.75 kPa is supplied for connection to the gas cylinder. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the appliance manufacturer.
When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting of the flexible hose. After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas and check for leaks by brushing a soap and water solution over all connections.
Refer to page 4.
The presence of bubbles will indicate a gas escape. DO NOT TEST FOR GAS ESCAPES WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the connections, turn off the gas and contact the supplier immediately.
Always ensure the appliance is kept away from flammable materials and the gas cylinder clear of any heat source.
When changing over from an empty gas cylinder to a full one, make sure this procedure is carried out in a flame free atmosphere.
Inspect the gas hose when replacing the gas cylinder, or once a year, whichever is more frequent. If the hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be operated. The hose must be replaced if damaged or when statutory conditions require it. Contact your supplier if uncertain.
The hose and regulator should be disconnected from the cylinder when the barbecue is not in use.
NEVER OPERATE THIS BARBECUE WITHOUT A REGULATOR.

LOCATION OF YOUR BARBECUE
Keep children away from barbecue during use and until barbecue has cooled after you are finished. Do not allow children to operate barbecue.
PROTECT CHILDREN
NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A FLAME.
Prior to first use, and at the beginning of each new season
(or, if using bottled gas, whenever gas cylinder is changed), it is a must for you to check for gas leaks. Follow these steps:
1. Make soap solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one part water.
2. Turn burner control(s) to
OFF, then turn on gas at
source.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections. Bubbles will appear in the soap solution if connections are not properly sealed. Tighten or repair as necessary.
4. If you have a gas leak you cannot repair, turn off the gas at the source, disconnect hose from barbecue and immediately contact the supplier for assistance.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable gas dealer,
or exchanged at a reputable gas cylinder exchange outlet. Gas cylinders should be visually inspected and re-qualified periodically.
Always keep cylinder in an upright position. Always close
the cylinder valve when the barbecue is not in use.
Do not subject the gas cylinder to excessive heat.
If you store your barbecue
indoors, ALWAYS disconnect and remove gas cylinder FIRST, and store gas cylinder safely outside. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area out of reach of children, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
This is a low pressure barbecue and must only be used
with the hose and regulator supplied.
Your barbecue is designed for use with 4.5 kg or 9 kg gas
cylinder.
DO NOT CONNECT YOUR BARBECUE TO A GAS CYLINDER LESS THAN OR EXCEEDING THIS CAPACITY.
GAS CYLINDER USE & SAFETY
IF YOU SMELL GAS.
1. SHUT OFF GAS TO THE APPLIANCE AT ITS SOURCE, IF POSSIBLE.
2. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAME.
3. ENSURE LID REMAINS IN THE OPEN POSITION.
4. IF ODOUR CONTINUES, IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER OR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

3. Check and ensure the gas cylinder is full.
4. Ensure all connections are securely tightened. Check for gas leaks.
NOW YOUR BARBECUE IS READY TO USE
BURN-OFF
Before cooking on your barbecue for the first
time, burn-off any residual oils or foreign matter by igniting the burners.
ENSURE THE HOOD IS IN THE
OPEN POSITION,
and operate at HIsetting for
approximately 10 minutes. Carefully wipe with cloth to remove all residue. Allow to cool before washing grill/plate/pan thoroughly with soap suds and scrub­bing brush. Rinse thoroughly and wipe clean with cloth. Your grill/plate/pan is ready to use.
PREHEATING
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for a short
time before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature. For food that requires a high cooking temperature, a period of 2 - 3 minutes preheating should be allowed.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
The temperature gauge is
used as a guide to cooking tem­peratures when cooking with the hood closed. There is a hole in the centre, front of the hood to allow installation of the temperature gauge.
Install as shown in the diagram.

Cross lighting channels.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE THE BARBECUE UNATTENDED WHEN ANY BURNER IS ALIGHT.
!
1. Open barbecue hood before attempting to light burners.
2. Set burner controls to
OFFand open gas
cylinder valve.
LIGHTING PROCEDURES
(Piezo ignition models)
The fats and juices that drip from the meat may cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart the distinctive taste and colour for food cooked over an open flame, they should be expected and encouraged within reason. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can result in a ruined meal.
FLARE-UPS
HIsetting – Use this setting only for fast warm
up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue from the grillplates after the cooking is over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the
HI’ setting for extended
cooking.
MEDsetting (mid-way between HI and LO).
Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.
LOsetting – Use this setting when cooking very
lean cuts such as fish.
These temperatures vary with outside temperature
and the amount of wind.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
Some models are fitted with electronic ignition.
Lid must be open for lighting. Push and turn the
required burner to
HI, simultaneously pressing the
electronic ignition button located in the centre of the control panel. The burner should light within 15 seconds.
If the burner does not light, turn to
OFFand wait 5
minutes. Repeat lighting procedure for the other burners. If ignition cannot be achieved, re-perform ignition system check procedure
.
CAUTION:
If burners go out during operation, shut off gas supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Wait 5 minutes before re-attempting to light (this allows accumulated gas to clear).
KEEP THE SURROUNDING AREA OF THE GAS CYLINDER ENCLOSURE FREE AND CLEAR FROM DEBRIS.
LIGHTING PROCEDURES
(Electronic ignition models)
If for some reason, igniters fail to produce a spark at the electrode, barbecue can be lit carefully with a match.
Insert lit match or long-necked butane lighter through lighting hole located on right side of barbecue body, after turning the right burner control to the
HI
position.
Sequentially light the remaining burners from right to left.
MANUAL LIGHTING
Lit match
Lighting hole
Lid must be open before lighting. For easy ignition, push the burner control in fully. Slowly rotate the control anti-clockwise through 90 degrees
(approx.
3 - 4 seconds).
Turn the burner control until a click is heard, this will trigger the piezo, producing a spark at the burner.
The 3 - 4 second duration should provide enough gas to light the burner. If the burner does not light, immediately return the burner control to the OFFposition and repeat the process.
Turn burner control to HIfollowing lighting proce­dure until flame appears on the burner. If for some reason the igniter fails to produce a spark at the electrode tip, the burner can be lit using a standard match, after 5 minutes to allow gas to disperse.

Cooking with the hood in the closed position helps to cook food more quickly than in conventional barbecues with a simple lid. The hood
(when closed) helps to retain
the heat more evenly and conserves energy.
IMPORTANT: Never use all burners on HI at the same time when cooking with the hood down.
High direct heat on the cooking plates when the hood is down may result in burnt food, or damage to painted surfaces.
3 burner model: Use burners 1 & 3. 4 burner model: Use burners 1 & 4. 6 burner model: Use burners 1, 2, 5 & 6.
The heat from the selected burners circulates gently throughout the barbecue, cooking the meat or poultry without any direct flame touching it. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts, because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.
When roasting in your barbecue, food should be positioned over the centre burners either on a roasting rack with the cooking pan underneath, or directly in the cooking pan, or placed in a disposable aluminium foil dish on top of a flametamer. Remove other grillplate and hotplate not being used.
BURNER CONTROL
With the hood open, ignite the outer left and right burners. Once ignition is established, close the hood. Leave the burners on
HI’ for 5 - 10 minutes or until the
temperature reaches a suitable level for cooking. Modulate the required temperature by turning the left and right burners progressively to
LO’.
COOKING WITH THE HOOD DOWN
THE SIDE BURNER IS DESIGNED FOR USE WITH THE WOK SUPPLIED WITH THE APPLIANCE OR COOKING POTS UP TO 300 mm DIAMETER.
USE OF VERY LARGE POTS MAY RESULT IN DISCOLOURATION OF THE SURFACE FINISH.

BEWARE OF SPIDERS. BURNER TUBES SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY.
SPIDERS AND SMALL INSECTS CAN OCCASIONALLY SPIN WEBS OR MAKE NESTS IN THE BURNER TUBES. 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.
!
Occasionally observe burner flame for correct
operation
. See diagram below.
VISUALLY CHECKING BURNER FLAMES
1. Turn off gas at source, turn burner control to
OFF.
2. Wait five minutes before trying again.
3. Check gas supply/connections.
4. Repeat lighting procedure and, if barbecue still
fails to operate properly,
TURN OFF GAS AT
SOURCE, TURN BURNER CONTROLS TO ‘OFF’,
wait for barbecue to cool and check the following:
a) Misalignment of burner tube(s) over orifice(s).
CORRECTION: Reposition burner tube to properly
sit over orifice.
b) Obstruction in gas line
CORRECTION: Remove hose from barbecue.
DO NOT
SMOKE!
Open gas supply for one second to blow any obstruction from fuel hose. Close off gas supply at source and reconnect hose to barbecue.
c) Blocked orifice
CORRECTION: Remove grillplates, flametamer,
fat/grease draining tray and receptacle. Remove burners from bottom of barbecue body by pulling cotter pin from beneath burner foot using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
(See burner
diagram on page 11).
Carefully lift each burner up and away from gas valve orifice. Remove the orifice section of gas valve from each gas valve and gently clear any obstruction with a fine wire. Re-install each orifice section, re-install burners over orifices and place each burner foot into mounting bracket at bottom of barbecue body. Replace cotter pins. Replace cooking components, fat/grease draining tray and receptacle.
d) Misalignment of igniter on burner
CORRECTION: Check for proper position of
electrode tip. The tip of the electrode should be pointing toward the tip of the collector box. The gap between the spark electrode and the tip of the gas collector box should be 5 mm. Adjust if necessary by carefully pressing the gas collector closer to the spark electrode.
If re-ignition is necessary while the barbecue is
still hot, you must wait for a minimum of five minutes before commencing to re-ignite.
(This allows accumulated
gas to clear).
If all check/corrections have been made and
barbecue still fails to operate properly, consult your barbecue dealer or gas appliance service person.
IF BARBECUE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY
CAUTION: IF BURNERS GO OUT DURING OPERATION, CLOSE GAS SUPPLY AT SOURCE, AND TURN ALL GAS VALVES OFF.
OPEN HOOD AND WAIT 5 MINUTES BEFORE RE-ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT (THIS ALLOWS ACCUMULATED GAS FUMES TO CLEAR).
CAUTION:
SHOULD A GREASE FIRE OCCUR, CLOSE GAS SUPPLY AT SOURCE, TURN OFF ALL BURNERS AND REMOVE FOOD UNTIL FIRE IS OUT.
KEEP THE VENTILATION OPENINGS OF THE CYLINDER ENCLOSURE FREE AND CLEAR FROM DEBRIS.
!
To reduce the chance of flash-back, the procedure below should be followed at least once a month in late summer or early autumn when spiders are most active, or when your barbecue has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Remove grillplates, flametamer, fat/grease draining
tray and receptacle from barbecue.
2. Remove burners from bottom of barbecue body
by pulling cotter pin from beneath burner ‘foot’
using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
3. Carefully lift each burner up and away from gas
valve orifice.
We suggest several different ways of cleaning the burner tubes. Use the procedure most convenient for you:
1. Bend a stiff wire
(a light weight coat hanger works
well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube and into the burner several times.
CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES AND BURNER PORTS (TO PREVENT FLASH-BACK)
OR Using a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle
(do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube and into the burner several times.
OR Use an air hose to force air through the burner
tube and out through the burner ports. Observe each port and make sure air comes out every hole. Wear eye protection.
NOTE: Do not use compressed air on the injectors.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure
you use, we recommend that you complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
2. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
3. Inspect the burner for damage
(cracks or holes)
and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner. After installation, check to ensure that gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside ends of burner tubes. Also check position of spark electrode.
If fire occurs in and around the burner tubes, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the burner control(s) to
OFF. Wait until the barbecue has
cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner ports as described below.
FLASH-BACK
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.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
After cooking, turn burner controls to OFFand let barbecue cool before attempting to clean your grillplates.
Before first use and periodically it is suggested that you wash the grillplates in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth, a vegetable brush, or steel wool to clean your barbecue plates if you desire.
CLEANING THE GRILLPLATES
Washing the flametamer after every use is not necessary but periodically it is suggested you wash the flametamer in a soap and warm water solution. Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burnt on cooking residue. Dry the flametamer thoroughly before you re-install it in the barbecue body.
CLEANING THE FLAMETAMER
The fat/grease draining tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm water solution. Lining the tray with aluminium foil will allow easier cleaning

EXTERIOR
Your gas barbecue is made of heavy steel, it should provide you with years of trouble-free service. Should you decide to touch up any scratches in the paint which may occur with use, a touch up paint designed for use with high temperatures is available in most hardware stores and from your barbecue dealer. Follow these steps for best results when applying touch-up paint:
1. Shut off gas supply at source and disconnect gas
hose from gas valve manifold. Protect gas hose
fitting.
2. Remove loose paint by lightly sanding surface(s) with a medium grit emery cloth or a fine grit sandpaper.
3. Remove any dirt or grease by washing the surface(s) with a mild soap and warm water solution.
4. Rinse with clean water and allow surface to dry thoroughly or wipe the area with vinegar.
5. Apply touch-up paint properly by following instructions on can.
6. Allow paint to dry completely, and apply a second coat if necessary.
IMPORTANT: Allow paint to dry at least 24 hours before using your gas barbecue.
