BARBECUE PARTS LIST

2. To remove the Cabinet Trolley Doors simply
push in the spring catches on the back of
each Hinge. This will allow the release of
the hinge from the Hinge Plates that are
attached to the side walls of the Cabinet
Trolley.

5

NOTE: Sometimes the Hinges may require a

slight jiggle as they can get stuck.

NOTE: We suggest to do any adjustment of

the Doors after the BBQ is assembled and in
position.

The Castor wheels on the base of the Cabinet
Trolley are also adjustable in height and are to
be used as the primary adjustment for levelling
the cabinet Trolley.

NOTE: Be very careful not to scratch the

Roasting Hood when removing it from within the
Cabinet.

NOTE: Be very careful with the Doors. Do not lay
them down where they might get scratched or
damaged while you are removing the Roasting
Hood.

6. To re-attach the Doors back onto the
Cabinet Trolley, simply line up the top
and bottom Hinges on the Doors with the

Hinge Plates tted to the Side Panels of the

Cabinet Trolley. Then simply side them back
into place making sure to latch the Tongue
of the Hinge underneath the Hinge Plate.

You will feel it click into place when it is
attached.

3. As you push in each catch on the back of
the Hinge, just lift the Door away from the
Cabinet to remove it.

4. Now that the Doors are removed, remove
any packaging away from the insides of the
Cabinet Trolley and the ends of the Roasting
Hood. This will allow the Roasting Hood to be
removed from inside of the Cabinet Trolley a
lot easier.

5. Once you have got the Roasting Hood out
of the Cabinet Trolley place it aside and
re-attach the Doors to the Cabinet Trolley.

7. The Door Hinges are adjustable, they can be
adjusted in and out, sideways left and right
as well as up and down, offering you the

ability to ne tune the position of the Doors
once they are tted.

8. It is best to leave the levelling of the Cabinet
Trolley until the very end of the assembly and
installation process to avoid doing it more
than once.

9. To adjust the level of the Cabinet Trolley, use
a 17mm spanner to screw the nut on top of
each of the Castor wheels. You will notice as
you turn the nuts that the Door heights start
to change, when the Doors are level the
Cabinet Trolley should be level as well.

6

13. Now position the side shelf in between the
two shelf brackets and using the bolt, spacer
and nut, attach the shelf onto the brackets.

10. If you have chosen the optional Side Shelves

for the Cabinet Trolley you will need to rst
t the two shelf brackets supplied with the

shelves onto each side of the BBQ with the
bolts provided.

11. The shelf brackets should mirror each other
on the front and at the back of the BBQ as
per the photo below. The bolts need to be
carefully lined up as they screw into nuts
welded inside the sides of the BBQ Body.

12. Bolt the handles to the end of the side shelf.

NOTE: The holes in the brackets are oversized

and may require a washer to be tted to avoid

the head of the nuts from pulling through the
holes in the brackets.

NOTE: Push the bolt through the hole in the shelf

bracket rst and then through the slot in the

side of the shelf. Now slide the spacer over the
bolt and into the slot in the shelf and tighten the
nut. The spacer allows you to tighten the nut up

rmly yet still allowing the shelf to fold up and

down.

7

14. Next, place the Flare Guards into position
inside the BBQ.

15. Next place the Cooking Grills into the BBQ
above the Flare Guards and place the Solid
Hot Plate next to them.

16. The Roasting Hood can now be tted.

Remove any packaging, cable ties and
components from inside the Hood. You
should have a Rear Cooking Shelf, Roasting
Rack, Drip Pan and Handle for the Roasting
Hood inside.

17. First attach the Handle onto the front of the
Roasting Hood with the nuts provided.

18. To t the Roasting Hood onto the BBQ, the

base of the Roasting Hood has 4 x locating

tags that t into corresponding slots on the

top of the BBQ.

19. Slide the angled tags on the front of
the base of the Roasting Hood into the
corresponding slots in the front of the BBQ.

You will need to angle the base of the
Roasting Hood down toward the front of the
BBQ so that it allows the tags to slot into the
BBQ easier.

NOTE: The Flare Guards are only required

beneath the open Cooking Grill section of the
BBQ.

NOTE: The Flare Guards are NOT to be placed

under the Solid Cooking Plate as it will reduce
the ability of the BBQ to heat the Solid Cooking
Plate.

The smaller Flare Guards are to be placed
above each of the Burners that will be sitting
below the Cooking Grills.
The Larger Flare Guards are to be placed in
between each of the smaller Flare Guards.

8

20. Once the front tags are located into the
BBQ, the tags on the rear of the Roasting
Hood base will locate straight down into the
corresponding slots on the back of the BBQ
for secure attachment.

21. Now place the Rear Cooking Shelf into the
rear of the Roasting Hood onto the support
brackets.

22. The Roasting Rack and Pan are both used
when Roasting and can be stored away
inside the Cabinet Tolley until required.

NOTE: The Rear Cooking Shelf can be stored

away inside the back of the Roasting Hood if
not required.

9

The SS Wok has an optional Solid Hot Plate
available as an accessory, if you have one
it must be placed directly above the SS Wok
Burner allowing an equal air gap either side of
the Burner when it is in use.

23. If you have a GTR SS or GTR S Model BBQ,
then you will have a Wok Burner integrated
into the Body of the BBQ. Remove any cable
ties securing the Wok Trivet and then place it
back into position above the Wok Burner.

26. The BBQ is now ready for installation.

25. Now check the Grease Tray is free from
packaging cable ties by sliding it in and out.
It is located inside a perforated panel in
the front of the BBQ just above the Cabinet
Trolley Doors.

To access the Grease Tray simply lift-up the
hinged perforated panel from the bottom and
inside you will see the Grease Tray, it should be
located roughly in the middle of the base of the
BBQ.

Pull out the Grease Tray, it should slide in and
out easily between the two locating rails. Make
sure there are no cable ties attached restricting
it from sliding in and out. Slide the Grease Tray
back into position and fold down the hinged
front panel to secure it in place.

24. The SS Wok Burner can be tted with an

optional Hinged Flat Weather Cover/ Lid or a
Roasting Hood to protect it from the weather
when not in use. Read any Assembly,
Installation and Operation Instructions
packaged with the Roasting Hood.

NOTE: The Trivet is used to support either a Wok

or Pot with a diameter of no less than 230mm.

NOTE: The S Wok can only be t/ installed with a

Hinged Flat Weather Cover/ Lid.

WARNING: A Roasting Hood must not be t/

installed above it.

NOTE: A Solid Hot Plate cannot be used above

the S Wok Burner.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION WARNINGS

READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ON THE FRONT OF THE BARBECUE.

This barbecue is designed and approved for
outdoor use only.

Be mindful of the location of the installation of
the barbecue.

If you are using the roasting hood it is better that
the prevailing wind blows into the front of the
BBQ during cooking.

NOTE: Strong winds blowing into the back or

across the back of the hood whilst cooking with
the hood closed can cause overheating of the
BBQ. The Roasting Hood is designed so that Hot
air from inside the Roasting Hood is released
through the vent in the top of the Roasting
Hood when it is shut while roasting.

Strong winds can prevent the hot air escaping
out of this vent and may even in some cases
push the hot air down and out the front of the
base of the BBQ Fascia where the cold fresh air
is designed to enter the BBQ Body.

This choice of installation can cause the front of
the BBQ to get unusually hot and can damage
the ignition system and control valves.

The intended use of this barbecue is to be
installed onto a Tucker GTR Cabinet Trolley.

person, in accordance with these instructions,

local gas tting regulations, municipal building

codes, the AGA installation code AS5601 and
any other relevant statutory regulations, must be
employed.

NOTE: The installer must test the BBQ when the

installation is completed. Before leaving the
installer must make sure the appliance operates
correctly and is safe for the operator to use.
The gas inlet connection must have a thread in
accordance with AS ISO 7.1 or AS 1722.2.

For connection to a natural gas bayonet tting,
a gas regulator must be tted at the inlet of

the appliance, and an approved 10mm, class
A, natural gas hose (no longer than 2 metres),
going from the gas regulator to the bayonet
point, complying with AS1869 must be used.

Where a mobile appliance is to be connected

to a xed gas supply via a exible hose

connection the restraining cord supplied must

be xed to the appliance and the wall/oor

within 50mm of each connection point. The
length of the restraining cord shall not exceed
80% of the length of the hose as it is designed to
prevent stress on the hose assembly when the
appliance is moved out of its normal operating
position.

It is recommended that an isolation valve and

union be tted before the barbecue; refer

AS5601/ AG601 for correct pipe sizing to ensure
adequate gas is supplied to the appliance.

For natural gas check the pressure of the
regulator and adjust it if necessary to the
pressure shown on the data plate.

PROPANE GAS TO NATURAL GAS
CONVERSION PROCEDURE FOR
AUTHORIZED INSTALLER

For alternative types of installation, contact your
nearest dealer.

• Disconnect the gas supply and remove the

plate, grills, are guards and burners from the
barbecue and the Wok burner if tted.

• Remove the main injectors and replace
them with the correct 1.7mm injectors for

each main burner. If a Wok burner is tted

replace the Wok injector with the correct
size required for Natural Gas written on the
data plate.

• Re-assemble the burners, are guards, plate

and grills.

• Replace the PROPANE GAS hose and
regulator with an approved natural gas
regulator and hose.

• Turn the gas on and test for leaks, repair if
necessary.

• Light 3 burners and turn them to high and set
the pressure at 1 KPA.

• Now turn all the burners to the “LOW” setting

and check the ame pattern is steady, if

necessary you can adjust the low setting by
removing the gas control knobs and insert
the 2.4mm slotted screw driver supplied into
the valve shaft, the “low” setting can be
adjusted up or down to suit your gas pressure
by turning the screw driver.

• Turn the screw driver anti-clockwise to adjust

the ame height up or turn it clockwise to

Turn it down.

NOTE: you want to achieve the lowest ame

height at “LOW” but you don’t want to
adjust it too low as it could blow out on its
own or due to a breeze.

• Check the operation of the ignition to the

burners and make any necessary adjust­ment. Note Natural gas is lighter than air you
may need to adjust the ignition probe up a
little higher for it to light.

• Ensure the data plate is changed / altered

to contain correct information i.e. remove
the old Gas type label and replace it with a
natural gas label and date of conversion.

5. Light only one Burner at a time in this
manner.

To light the BBQ manually place a match into
the manual lighting Match Holder located inside
the Cabinet Trolley, attached to the end of the
chain securing the Gas Cylinder.

Before each use remove any accumulated
grease and other cooking residue.

1. Turn on one Control Knob of a Burner under
the Cooking Grill section of the BBQ to High
and light the match in the Match Holder.

2. Push the Match Holder through the gap in
the Cooking Grill in line with the Burner you
have turned on and just below the side of
the Flare Guard. If the BBQ does not light
within 5 seconds turn the Control Knob to off,
remove the Grease Tray to allow built up gas
to disperse, wait 1 minute and try it again.

WARNING: If the Barbecue Burner should not

light after 10 seconds or go out due to strong
winds, care should be taken.

Remove the Barbecue Grease Tray and wait
1 minute before trying to re-light the BBQ to let
any gas that may have built up to disperse.

IMPORTANT: Do not force the Control Knobs,

they will turn easily, depress the Knob and turn it
anti-clockwise.

The Gas Control Knobs can be adjusted from
high to low.

To turn the Barbecue off, simply turn the Control
Knobs to the OFF position, and then turn off the
Gas Supply at the Cylinder or Gas Supply.

1. Remove the Lid or open the Roasting Hood
before lighting the BBQ or Wok.

2. Turn all the Gas Control Knobs to the OFF
position. (clockwise).

3. Turn on the gas supply at the Cylinder Valve
or Gas supply.

4. Push and turn (Anti-clockwise) one of the
Control Knobs to High.

5. Wait for 3 seconds.

6. Push the Ignition Button next to that Control
Knob 2 or 3 times to Ignite the Burner.

7. If the Burner does not light turn the Control
Knob to off, wait 1 minute and retry.

Remove the Lid or open the Roasting Hood for
this process.

Brush a light coating of cooking oil over the
surface of the Cooking Grills and Solid Hot Plate.

Turn all Burners onto low and run the BBQ for 5
minutes.

Rub the entire surface of the Plate and Grills
again with a light coating of oil.

This will protect them from surface rust as
moisture in the air can cause surface rusting.

Replace the Flat Lid over the BBQ once it has
cooled down or if you have a Roasting Hood

close the Hood when you have nished oiling.

Once you have your BBQ alight, run it for 4-5
minutes on High to heat it up.

Apply a light coating of cooking oil over the
surface of the Plate and Grills to prevent food
from sticking to them.

We recommend you cook on the Medium

setting as you will have sufcient heat to Grill or

Roast.

If more heat is required, you can turn it up a little
if need be.

Flare up will occur if the cooking surface gets
too hot.

The recommended cooking temperature inside
the Roasting Hood is 180 degrees, never exceed
200 degrees with the Roasting Hood closed.

COOKING HINTS

CLEAN UP

Flare ups will occur if the cooking surface
gets too hot, the recommended cooking
temperature is 180 degrees with a Roasting
Hood closed.

If are ups occur turn the BBQ down and
the are will subside as the temperature will

decrease.

Always turn the meat with tongs, a fork will
pierce the sealed surface and let out the juices.

A few green gum leaves placed onto the
cooking grill or hot plate will give an Aussie bush

avour to your meat or vegetables.

Don’t slash the steaks to see if they are cooked,
press the steak on the top if its soft it is rare, if it
is slightly springy it’s medium rare, less springy

medium and when rm its well done.

If time permits marinade the meat for added

avour and tenderness. A basic wine, herb,
onion and garlic marinade is ne.

Fruit and vegetable accompaniments can be
cooked alongside meat or grilled in a Wok on
the Wok burner. Some are best wrapped in
foil to retain juices or you can place them on
skewers.

Go easy on sugar and honey in marinades and
basting sauces as very sweet mixtures tend to
scorch easily.

Grilling the perfect steak requires the grill to be
per-heated well so that the grill is hot, this whey
when you place your steak on the grill it will sear
the meat quickly on the outside of the steak, it is
best to turn the steaks over often, say every 20­30 seconds as this will ensure the meats fat and
enzymes are evenly cooked, you may like to
cook your steaks until the blood shows through
them before you turn them but you will not be
able to cook rare or medium rare steaks this
way as they will start to overcook in this manner.

Place sausages on the grill or plate and turn
them frequently to brown the surface evenly.
Be careful not to use to much heat as sausages
contain a lot of fatty oil which will cause the

ame to are up burning the outside of the

sausage when cooked over the open grill.

Bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and onions
are best cooked on the plate you can toast
buns or bread on the open grill.

Fish, can be cooked on the plate with our and

herbs or wrapped in foil to seal in the juices on

the grill. Cooking times for sh vary as to the

type and thickness of them generally times are
a lot shorter than meat.

1. Check the grease collection tray after each
use and wash it in hot soapy water in the
sink.

2. Scrape the plate and grills clean and wipe
them over with a coat of cooking oil.

3. Wipe the barbecue over with a soft cloth to
remove grease and marks.

4. Replace the lid or close the hood to protect
the cooking surfaces from the weather when
storing the BBQ away.

5. Check the gas supply is turned off.

6. Cover the barbecue with a Tucker barbecue
cover (optional extra recommended) when
the barbecue is cooled down.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• Barbecue won’t light? Check all gas
connections and that the gas bottle has gas.

• Ignition is not working? Check the leads are
connected properly and adjust the spark
gap to make sure the gap is 4mm from the
ports on the burner. For Natural Gas it is best
to have the igniter probe just above the
ports on the burners and for L.P. Gas it is best
positioned just below the the ports on the
burners.

• Check that the ignition leads are connected
properly as the ignition lead might just need

to be rmly connected into either the ignition

probe or the ignition button correctly. The
lead may be damaged also.

• One of the burners won’t light? Check the
throat of the burner for a blockage, remove
the air mixture cap and gauze on the throat
of the burner and push a screwdriver up it to
clear the blockage.

• Control knobs are stiff? Remove the knobs
and spray the valve shaft with unceasing
lubricant then oil the shafts of the control
valves and replace the knobs.

TROUBLESHOOTING SOLUTIONS

Check the injector nipple that supplies the gas
to the burner it maybe has a blockage.

Valve injector

• Barbecue doesn’t seem to be as hot
anymore? Check burner inlet and burner
port holes for blockages or regulator
pressure. Insects maybe in the burners.
Check the injectors are not blocked on the
control valves.

SERVICE & MAINTENANCE

1. Before each use remove any accumulated
grease and other cooking residue. Fat/

grease res are not covered by warranty.

2. Your barbecue should be cleaned regularly
with hot soapy water and dried afterwards.
Do not use steel wool as it will leave steel
deposits on the surface of which can cause
rust. Scotch Bright pads can be used but will
generally leave scratch marks where you
have rubbed. Only use these on stubborn
un-washable deposits.

3. To remove rust marks, we recommend Eagle
One NEVER DULL wadding polish. To prevent
rust marks, polish the barbecue with stainless
steel polish regularly. Hint, rub the BBQ over
with a cloth after each use when the BBQ
is still hot and the grease on the BBQ will
wipe off easy and make it easy to look after
as it leaves a slight cover of grease on the
stainless steel which impedes the salt air
from settling in the pours of the stainless steel
surface.

4. Grease or oil the shafts of the gas control
valves where they enter the alloy housing
every 3 months to avoid them ceasing up. If
they become hard to turn or if you smell gas,
get the BBQ serviced.

5. Periodically check the leads on the ignitions
for cracks or the connections to the probes
or buttons.

6. Do not attempt to dismantle control valves
or the regulator.

7. Periodically remove the burners and
scrub them with soapy water and a wire
brush. Make sure the ports are clear from
obstructions, unscrew the air mixture cap
and gauze from the throat of the burner
periodically and brush away any dust, spider
webs or insect nests that may have built up,
replace them and screw them back on.
When replaced turn each burner on and

check that the ame pattern is good, you

can adjust the air mixture by turning the
cap on the end of the burner throat open or

closed. You want a blue ame with a yellow

tip.

8. Check hose and regulator regularly and
replace if damaged.

9. It is recommended that the hose and
regulator be replaced every 5 years.

10. If you cannot operate the barbecue
correctly turn it off. Do not continue to use
it. Take it back to the place of purchase or
local dealer and get them to test and repair
it.

11. Stainless Steel barbecues can be affected
by high temperatures of which can cause
discoloration on the BBQ frame.

12. Check and tighten nuts and bolts on the
barbecue regularly.

13. A canvas cover will help keep your
barbecue protected from weather. Make
sure the barbecue is dry before putting the
cover on or corrosion may occur. Coastal
climates are particularly vulnerable to this.

14. Check all connections for gas soundness.

15. Warning: Servicing must only be carried out
by authorized personnel.

16. This appliance must not be modied.

17. Check gas cylinder regularly for test date
status.
