Usage Features:

Outdoor Use Only: The BBQ and modules are strictly for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas, away from enclosed spaces like caravans, tents, or marine craft, to prevent carbon monoxide hazard.
Gas Leak Testing: Essential before first use and every time the gas cylinder is refilled/reconnected. Involves applying a soap solution to gas connections and checking for bubbles.
Ignition System: Features an integrated ignition button for lighting burners. Requires an AA battery (not supplied).
Manual Ignition: A match holder is provided for manual lighting if the ignitor fails.
Heat Adjustment: Control knobs allow adjustment of heat to High/Low settings for different cooking needs (fast warm-up, searing, grilling, roasting).
Preheating: Recommended for at least 5 minutes before cooking.
Roasting: For best results, remove the hotplate, center the grill, and use the outer two burners on low to medium setting.
Lighting with Match: A match holder is chained inside the right-hand door for convenience.
Electrical Safety: The product is fitted with a sealed electrical connection plug. A residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA is required for the power supply.
Module Integration: Modules can be joined together using wing screws and nuts to create a custom outdoor kitchen.
Sink Module (BQ2191): Includes shelves and requires a plumber for tap and drain connection to mains/household water.
Storage Module (BQ2192): Features multiple shelves for storage.
Drawer Module (BQ2193): Contains three drawers. Drawers can be removed by pushing one tab up and one tab down.

Maintenance Features:

General Cleaning: Use mild dish soap, warm water, and a soft cloth for cleaning surfaces. Avoid wire wool or hard cleaning pads on stainless steel.
Drip Tray Cleaning: Remove and empty the drip tray after each use once cool. Wash with mild detergent and warm water. Regular emptying helps avoid flare-ups.
Burner Tube Cleaning: Recommended before first use and every six months to prevent obstructions from spiders/insects (flash-back). Methods include using a stiff wire, a narrow bottle brush, or an air hose.
Hose Inspection: Visually inspect the gas hose prior to each use for cracks, wear, or damage. Replace if necessary.
Rust & Discolouration Minimization: Regular cleaning, especially near coastlines or swimming pools, helps prevent rust on stainless steel. Cover the BBQ when not in use and store in a dry place.
Servicing: Appliances should be serviced at least annually by a Licensed Plumber or Authorized Person.
Gas Cylinder Storage: Always store gas cylinders outdoors in a well-ventilated area, out of reach of children, and not in enclosed spaces. Disconnect the cylinder if storing the barbecue indoors.
Transformer Maintenance: This transformer must only be used with the lights in the BBQ. Power cord must only be replaced by an authorized service facility.
