TABLE OF CONTENTS
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue are suitable for use with bottled gas – POL connection.
This regulator is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of
2.75 kPa for connection to a gas cylinder only. 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. Also, take care to avoid a loose connection with the gas cylinder. 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. Include checking those connections which were made by your supplier. 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 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 assembly when exchanging the gas cylinder, or at least once a year, whichever is more frequent. If the O-Ring or PVC hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be operated. The complete assembly must be replaced if damaged and when statutory conditions require it. Contact your place of purchase if uncertain.

SAFETY POINTS
Do not operate damaged rotisserie.
Do not use rotisserie in poor weather conditions.
Avoid contact with hot surfaces.
Always load rotisserie to barbecue before switching
motor on.
Always turn rotisserie
OFFbefore removing from
barbecue.
Do not leave rotisserie on barbecue when not in use.
NOTE: Refer to the instructions included with the rotisserie kit for full operation details.
DO NOT EXCEED 250º WHEN COOKING WITH THE HOOD DOWN.
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 any burner or combination of burners on HI for extended periods when cooking with the hood down.
High direct heat when the hood is down may result
in burnt food, or damage to painted surfaces.
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 flame tamer. Remove other grill plate and hot plate not being used, and ignite burners 1 & 4.
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.
COOKING WITH THE HOOD DOWN
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.

pliers. Carefully lift each burner up and away from gas valve orifice. Remove the orifice from gas valve and gently clear any obstruction with a fine wire. Then reinstall all orifices, burners, cotter pins and cooking components.
If an obstruction is suspected in gas valves or manifold, contact your place of purchase or manufacture.
Obstruction in burner tubes
Correction: Follow the burner tube cleaning procedure on page 20 of this operator's manual.
Misalignment of igniter on burner
Correction: Check for proper position of the elec­trode tip as shown on page 12. The gap between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be approximately 4 - 5 mm. Adjust if necessary. With the gas supply closed and all control knobs set to
OFFpress the electronic igniter cap and check
for the presence of a spark at the electrode.
Disconnected electronic wires
Correction: Inspect the igniter junction box found behind the control panel. Connect loose electronic wires to junction box and try to light the barbecue.
Weak AA battery
Correction: Unscrew the igniter cap and replace the battery.
IF THE BARBECUE FAILS TO LIGHT
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 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.
Before initial use, and periodically, wash your cooking plates in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean your cooking plates.
It is recommended the cooking plates be coated with a thin layer of cooking oil on a regular basis to prevent rusting. Slight rusting can be removed with a scrubbing brush before use.
CLEANING THE COOKING PLATES
Proper care and maintenance will keep your barbecue in top operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these cleaning procedures on a timely basis and your barbecue will stay clean and operate with minimum effort.
CAUTION: Be sure your barbecue is off and cool before cleaning.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we suggest you wash your barbecue using a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or brass brush. These will scratch stainless steel and chip painted surfaces (varies by model) during the cleaning process.
CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease draining tray and grease receptacle should be visually inspected before each barbecue use. Remove any grease and wash grease tray and receptacle with a mild soap and warm water solution.
NOTE: Grease / fat fires are not covered by warranty.

Periodically you should wash the flame tamer in a soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the flame tamers thoroughly before you re-install them into the barbecue.
CLEANING THE FLAME TAMERS
FAILURE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE USE AND CARE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
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
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.
DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANER TO CLEAN THE BARBECUE.
We recommend that you minimise the barbecue’s exposure to the elements. High moisture content in the air
(rain, mist, salt spray etc.) can affect metal components
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). 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
KEEP BARBECUE AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPOURS AND LIQUIDS
DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION
KEEP THE VENTILATION OPENINGS OF THE CYLINDER ENCLOSURE CABINET FREE AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS
VISUALLY CHECK BURNER FLAMES OCCASIONALLY TO ENSURE PROPER FLAME PATTERN AS SHOWN BELOW
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN INJURY.

Burning-off excess food after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use. However,at least every 3 months you must give the entire barbecue a thorough cleaning to minimise your risk of grease fire and keep the barbecue in top shape.
Follow these steps:
1. Turn all burner valves to the full OFFposition.
2. Turn the LP gas cylinder valve to the full
OFF
position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder. Inspect the hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts or any other damage, and replace as necessary.
Refer to the Parts List in this operator’s
manual, pages 22 - 23.
4. Remove and clean the flame tamers, cooking plates and barbecue burners.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush the inside and bottom of the barbecue with a fibre pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check each orifice for obstruction.
8. Check each spark electrode, adjusting as needed. The space between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be approximately 4 - 5 mm.
9. Replace the burners and adjust the gas collector box. The edge of the collector box should be over­lapping the burner port.
10. Reconnect the gas source and observe the burner flame for correct operation.
11. Replace flame tamers and cooking plates.

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 ASFLASH-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 reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE you must clean the burner tubes as follows at least once a month in summer and fall or whenever spiders are active in your area, and if your barbecue has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Turn all burner valves to the full
OFFposition.
2. Turn the LP gas cylinder valve to the full
OFF
position.
3. Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your gas barbecue.
4. Remove the cooking plates, flame tamer plates and grease trays from your barbecue.
5. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
7. Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the barbecue.
8. Refer to diagram 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger into a small hook as shown and run the hook through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove debris.
METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle and run the brush through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.
METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air through each burner tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstructions through the burner and out the ports.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Use a fibre pad or nylon brush to clean the entire outer surface of each burner until free of food residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.
3. Inspect each burner for damage
(cracks or holes) and
if such damage is found, order and install a new burner. After installation, check to ensure that the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of the burner tubes. Also check the position of your spark electrode.
CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES AND BURNER PORTS
FOR SAFE OPERATION ENSURE THE GAS VALVE ASSEMBLY ORIFICE IS INSIDE THE BURNER TUBE BEFORE USING YOUR BARBECUE. See diagram. IF THE ORIFICE IS NOT INSIDE THE BURNER TUBE, LIGHTING THE BURNER MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION AND / OR FIRE RESULTING IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND / OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
