Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should be placed in a well-ventilated area, and on a safe and even surface.
Never place your barbecue below ground level. Take care to ensure that the barbecue is used on an incombustible
floor. The sides of the barbecue should NEVER be closer than 1 metre from any combustible surface, including trees
and fences; and make sure that there are no heat sources near the barbecue (cigarettes, open flames, sparks, etc.).
Keep this barbecue away from any flammable materials!
Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the barbecue body. Position the gas bottle on level ground next to the
barbecue and safely away from any source of heat. Should you need to install or change the gas bottle, confirm that
the barbecue is switched off and that there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flames, sparks, etc.) near
before proceeding.
Fixing a Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle according to
your regulator and bottle dealer’s instructions.
Leak Testing (always perform a leak test in a well-ventilated area)
Confirm all control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position. Turn the gas on/open the gas control valve on the gas bottle or
regulator. Check for leaks by brushing a solution of 1/2 water and 1/2 liquid detergent/soap over all the gas system
joints, including gas bottle valve connections, hose connections, and regulator connections. NEVER USE AN OPEN
FLAME to test for leaks at any time. If bubbles form over any of the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply at
the gas bottle. Retighten all joints. Repeat the test. If bubbles form again, do not use the barbecue and contact your
local store for assistance. Always wipe the mixed leak-testing solution from all joints and connections afterwards.
Warning
• Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION section of this manual.
• Your barbecue is not designed to be used with more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid plate - this includes
baking dishes. Full coverage will cause excessive build up of heat and damage the barbecue. This is not covered by
the warranty.
Preparation before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking surface, please use a long-handled brush to apply a light coat of
cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session. (Note: When cooking for the first time, paint colours may
change slightly as a result. This is normal and should be expected.) During use, the protective coating may come off
the cooking surface. This is normal and is not harmful. Line the drip pan with aluminium foil. This will make cleaning up
easy.
Lighting the Main Burner
• Open the barbecue hood.
• Ensure all knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position. Open the gas control valve on the gas bottle or regulator.
• From the ‘OFF’ position, push in and turn the rightmost burner control knob anti-clockwise to the ‘MAX.’ position.
Then press the igniter button rapidly several times to light the burner.
• If the burner fails to ignite after above procedures, turn all the control knobs to the ‘OFF’ position and close the
gas valve on the gas bottle. Wait five minutes, then repeat the above steps. If the barbecue still fails to light,
please refer to the manual ignition instruction in the section to the right.
