INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION WHICH COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,
DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

!

ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BE VERY HOT.

KEEP YOUNG CHILDREN AWAY.

ANY MODIFICATION OF THIS
APPLIANCE MAY BE DANGEROUS.

DO NOT MOVE THIS APPLIANCE
DURING USE.

The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the
barbecue is suitable for use with bottled gas.

A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure
of 2.75 kPa is supplied for connection to the gas cylinder.
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the
appliance must be used. Replacement regulator 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 visible and
accessible gas line connections. 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 connection, turn off the gas and contact your place
of purchase 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 place of purchase if uncertain.

The POL fitting of the hose and regulator should be
disconnected from the gas cylinder valve when the
outdoor appliance is not in use.

Appliance specifications can be found on the data label
attached to the rear panel of the barbecue body.

Your barbecue is preset at the factory to operate on
bottled gas only, unless specified otherwise.

OUTDOORS ONLY. Refer to page 22. The barbecue is not
intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles
and/or boats and should not be placed under any surface
that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the barbecue while in use.

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, or to swing on handle.

PROTECT CHILDREN

NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.

Prior to first use, and at the beginning of each new season
(or, if using bottled gas, whenever gas cylinder is changed), you
must 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 visible and accessible

gas connections. Bubbles will appear in the soap

solution if connections are not properly sealed.

Tighten or rectify as necessary.

4. If you have a gas leak you cannot rectify, turn off the

gas at the source, disconnect hose from barbecue

and immediately contact the manufacturer for

assistance.

Refer to back cover.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable gas dealer,
or exchanged at a reputable cylinder exchange outlet. Gas
cylinders should be visually inspected and requalified
periodically.

Always keep gas cylinder in an upright position.
Always close the cylinder valve when the barbecue is not in use.

Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat.

If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS disconnect
and remove gas cylinder FIRST, and store gas cylinder
safely outside. Gas 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 a 9 kg gas
cylinder. Ensure gas cylinder conforms to Australian
standards.

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR BARBECUE TO A GAS
CYLINDER LESS THAN OR EXCEEDING THIS CAPACITY.

GAS CYLINDER USE AND SAFETY

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

1. SHUT OFF GAS TO THE APPLIANCE
AT ITS SOURCE, IF POSSIBLE.

2. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAME.

3. OPEN HOOD.

4. PERFORM GAS LEAK CHECK
PROCEDURE.

5. IF ODOUR CONTINUES,
IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS
SUPPLIER OR FIRE DEPARTMENT.

Before placing the cooking components into your
barbecue body, ensure that the spark electrode tip is
properly positioned within each gas collector box

(a wide
stainless steel mechanism found at the front between each set
of burners)

. The easiest way to ensure this is to perform the

following electrode check:

1. Be sure all control knobs are set to

‘OFF’. Open the

barbecue hood. NEVER put your face inside the
barbecue body.

2. Press igniter cap and look down at the gas collector

box. If a spark is present the electrode tips are properly
positioned.

3. If no spark is seen, then the spark gap shown below

needs to be adjusted as follows:

• Using an adjustable wrench, loosen the inside nut just

until the gas collector box can be manoeuvred and
turned upward.

The gap between the spark electrode tip and spark
receiver should be approximately 5 mm.

• If the gap is wider the 5 mm use a pair of long nose

pliers and gently squeeze the gas collector box until
the gap is correct.

• Return the gas collector box to its original horizontal

position, secure the inside nut and try the electrode
check again.

securely hold the electrode as shown above. With
another set of pliers, gently bend the tip end of
electrode to within 5 mm of the stainless steel screen.
Be careful not to puncture the screen or break electrode
tip.

5. Try spark electrode test again. Re-adjust if necessary.

Check and ensure that each burner is properly located
over each orifice prior to installing the flametamer.

1. The flametamer is designed to reduce flaring.
Place the flametamers on the lower edge above
burners. Flametamers must always be located under
the grillplate.

2. Position the cooking plates as shown below.

SIDE BURNER IGNITION

BURN-OFF

Before cooking on your barbecue for the first time,
burn-off any residual oils or foreign matter from the
cooking plates.

ENSURE THE HOOD IS OPEN, and

operate at

‘HI’ setting for approximately 15 minutes.

Allow to cool then wash grillplates/hotplate thoroughly
with soap suds and scrubbing brush. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe clean with a cloth.

PREHEATING

It is necessary to preheat the barbecue before
cooking. Operate the burners under the cooking surface
to be used at

‘HI’ for approximately 10 minutes before

cooking. Hooded barbecues should be pre-heated with
the hood down.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

‘HI’ setting – Use this setting only for warm up, for
searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue
from the plates after the cooking is over. Rarely, if ever,
do you use the ‘

HI’ setting for extended cooking.

‘MED’ setting (mid-way between ‘HI’ 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.

Actual cooking surface temperatures vary with
outside temperature and the wind conditions.

COOKING TEMPERATURES

OPERATION

18

18

Cooking with the hood in the closed position helps to
cook food more quickly than in conventional open-style
barbecues with a lid. The hood

(when closed) helps to

retain the heat more evenly and conserves energy. For
the best cooking results, always use the burners on

‘MED’ or ‘LOW’ and use the indirect cooking method
(explained below) when the hood is down. High direct

heat on the cooking plates when the hood is down may
result in burnt food, or damage to your barbecue.

The following methods are referred to as

‘INDIRECT

COOKING’

. Poultry and large cuts of meat cook slowly

to perfection on the barbecue by indirect heat.

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.

REMEMBER: Only use burners on ‘LOW’ for indirect
cooking. Only use outside burners for indirect cooking.

Remove solid hotplate from barbecue body and
position grillplate and flametamers over centre burners.

With the hood open, ignite the outer left and right
burners. Once ignition is established, close the hood.
Leave the burners on ‘

HI’ for 10 minutes or until the

temperature reaches a suitable level for cooking.
Modulate the required temperature by turning the
outermost burners progressively to

‘MED’ or ‘LOW’.

Do not ignite the burners directly under the meat.
Food should be positioned in the centre position either
in a shallow ovenproof dish or a disposable aluminium
foil to retain juices for basting.

Extremely large cuts of food, such as turkey may be
placed in the baking dish directly over the flametamer .

BARBECUING WITH THE HOOD DOWN

NEVER USE ANY BURNER, OR
COMBINATION OF BURNERS ON ‘HI’
WHEN COOKING WITH THE HOOD
DOWN.

!

ROTISSERIE COOKING

Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist,
flavourful and attractive. The rotisserie system is most
commonly used for cooking meat or poultry and is
designed to cook food from the rotisserie burner using
infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an infrared type,
which provides intense searing radiant heat. The
intense heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients
found in quality cuts of meat.

The cooking times on a rotisserie will vary

accordingly depending on the size and the cut of the meat.

BALANCING THE FOOD

In rotisserie cooking, balancing the food is of utmost
importance. The rotisserie must turn evenly or the
stopping and starting action will cause the food to cook
unevenly and possibly burn the heavier side.

The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform
shape and texture. To test if the food is balanced
correctly when secured, place the ends of the rotisserie
spit loosely in the palms of your hands. If there is no
tendency to roll, give the spit a quarter turn. If it is still
stable, give it a final quarter turn. It should rest without
turning in each of these positions.

To load the spit rods, begin with handle in place on
slot located in barbecue side panel. Slide one of the
holding forks

(with prongs facing away from the handle)

onto the spit rod. Push the spit rod through the centre
of the food to be basted, and then slide the second
holding fork,

(prongs toward the food) onto the spit rod.

It is very important to centre and balance the food to be
cooked on the spit rod, then push the meat holding
forks firmly together. Tighten the wing nuts with pliers.
It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butcher
string

(never use plastic or nylon string) to secure any

loose portions.

A rolled piece of meat requires the rotisserie skewer
to be inserted through the centre of the length of meat,
then secured and balanced.

For meats that contain bones, it is best to secure the
rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections.
If protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover
with pieces of foil.

19

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) and 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, flametamers,

fat/grease draining tray. 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 14. Carefully

lift each burner up and way 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.

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
place of purchase, or contact the manufacturer.

IF BARBECUE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY

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 TO
PREVENT ITS OCCURRENCE.

!

SAFETY POINTS

• Do not operate damaged rotisserie.

• Do not use rotisserie in poor weather conditions.

• Avoid contact with hot surfaces.

20

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, flametamers, fat/grease draining
tray from barbecue body.

2. Remove burners from bottom of barbecue body by

unscrewing the burner securing screw at the burner
‘foot’ using a screwdriver.

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:

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 with 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,
opposite.

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 ‘OFF’ and let
barbecue cool before attempting to clean your cooking
plates.

Before first use and periodically it is suggested that
you wash the cooking plates 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 COOKING PLATES

Washing the flametamer after every use is not necessary
but periodically it is suggested you clean off any
build-up of food residue. Use a wire brush to remove
stubborn burnt on cooking residue.

Dry the flametamer thoroughly before re-installing it
into the barbecue body.

NOTE: Flametamers are coated with a ceramic material
which can be easily damaged if not handled with care.

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 enable easier cleaning.

CLEANING THE FAT/GREASE DRAINING TRAY

Follow the instructions provided on page 11.

EXTERIOR:

Your gas barbecue is made of durable grade stainless
steel, it should provide you with years of trouble-free
service.

Refer to care of stainless steel, opposite.

DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANER
TO CLEAN THE BARBECUE.

!

Burning-off the barbecue after cooking will keep it
ready for instant use, however, once a year you should
give the entire barbecue a thorough cleaning to keep it
in top operating condition.

ANNUAL CLEANING OF BARBECUE BODY

The stainless steel over time will be affected by ‘tea
staining’

(the brown discolouration of some stainless steel).

Tea staining can be reduced by washing the surface
with mild detergent and warm water. This should then
be followed by rinsing with clean cold water. We
recommend the surface then be wiped dry with a clean
cloth.

CARE FOR STAINLESS STEEL SURFACE

We recommend that you minimise the unit’s exposure
to the elements. High moisture content in the air

(rain,

mist, salt spray etc.)

can affect metal components of this
appliance and lead to material breakdown. If left in an
area subjected to high moisture content, we strongly
recommend that you observe the cleaning procedure on
a regular basis and cover the appliance whilst not in use

(covers are available as an optional extra if not supplied with
the appliance)

. Material breakdown from high moisture
conditions can be avoided if the appliance is well
protected from the weather and regular cleaning is
carried out.

STORAGE

IN COASTAL AREAS, FREQUENT
CLEANING AND THE USE OF A COVER
IS RECOMMENDED TO PROLONG THE
LIFE OF THE APPLIANCE.
SALTY AIR WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT
EXPOSED PARTS.
