• Report any deficiencies to the distributor who supplied the appliance.
• Check that the available gas supply is correct to that shown on the rating plate located on the right hand panel.
Location
1. Installation must allow for a sufficient flow of fresh air for the combustion air supply.
2. Installation must include adequate ventilation means, to prevent dangerous build-up of combustion products.
3. Any gas burning appliance requires adequate clearance and ventilation for optimum and trouble-free operation.
The minimum installation clearances shown below are to be adhered to.
4. Position the appliance in its approximate working position.
5. All air for burner combustion is supplied from underneath the unit. The legs must always be fitted and no
obstructions placed on the underside or around the base of the unit, as obstructions will cause incorrect

Assembly
NOTE:
• This appliance is assembled before delivery except feet.
• This appliance is fitted with adjustable feet to enable the appliance to be positioned securely and level. This
should be carried out on completion of the gas connection. Refer to the ‘Gas Connection’ section.
• IM will be stated that the appliance shall be installed in such a way that side body surfaces are not accessible in
the installed position.
Gas Connection
NOTE: ALL GAS FITTING MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED PERSON.
1. The Gas Char-broilers do not require an electrical connection, as they function totally on the gas supply only.
2. It is essential that the gas supply is correct for the appliance to be installed and that adequate supply pressure
and volume are available. The following checks should therefore be made before installation:-
a. Gas Type required for the appliance is shown in the rating label. Check that this is correct for the gas supply
the appliance is being installed for. The gas conversion procedure is detailed in this manual.
b. Supply Pressure required for this appliance is shown in the ‘Gas supply requirements’ section of this manual.
Check the gas supply to ensure adequate supply pressure exists.
c. Input Rate of this appliance is stated on the Rating label .The input rate should be checked against the
available gas supply line capacity. Particular note should be taken if the appliance is being added to an existing
installation.
NOTE: It is important that adequately sized piping runs directly to the connection joint on the appliance with as few
tees and elbows as possible to give maximum supply volume.
NOTE: Ensure the regulator is converted to the correct gas type that the appliance will operate on. The regulator
outlet pressure is fixed ex-factory for the gas type .
3. Correctly locate the appliance into its final operating position and using a spirit level, adjust the legs so that the
unit is level and at the correct height.
4. Connect the gas supply to the appliance through the regulator. (refer to the picture of “Install the Regulator”). A
suitable jointing compound which resists the breakdown action of propane must be used on every gas line
connection, unless compression fittings are used.
5. Check all gas connections for leakages.

Operation
8
WARNING:
SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE CHAR-BROILER CAN REACH OVER 300°C WHEN THE
APPLIANCE IS OPERATED AT FULL SETTING.
1. Lighting the Main Burners
The burners are fitted with individual standing pilots which allows the main burners to be turned ON-
OFF without the need to manually re-light the burner each time that it is turned ON, as the burner will be
automatically lit itself by the pilot burner.
Flame Failure Protection is incorporated for each burner by way of a thermo-electric system which will
shut off the gas supply to that burner in the event that the burner goes out, so that un -burnt gas is not
expelled.
1. Select the burner required, depress and turn the corresponding gas control knob anti-clockwise to
the ‘PILOT’ position.
2. With the gas control knob depressed, manually light the pilot burner or use the piezo igniter provided
(optional).
3. Release the gas control knob after approximately 10-20 seconds after lighting the pilot burner.
4. The pilot burner should stay alight - if not, repeat Steps (b. to c. above.)
5. ‘Full Flame’ can now be achieved by depressing and rotating the gas control knob anti-clockwise to
the first stop 'HIGH' flame position.
6. Low flame can be achieved by depressing the gas control knob and rotating fully anti-clockwise to the
‘LOW' flame position.
7. To achieve simmer control, depress the gas control knob and rotate between the ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’
positions to achieve the temperature required.
2. Turning 'OFF' the Main Burners / Pilots
1. To turn off the main burner, but keep the pilot burner alight, rotate the gas control knob to the
'PILOT' position. The main burner will extinguish and the pilot will remain alight.
2. To turn off the 'PILOT', depress and turn the gas control knob clockwise back to the ‘┃’ position. The
'PILOT' burner will extinguish.
