connections and regulator connections. NEVER USE
AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at anytime. If
bubbles form over any of the joints, there is a leak.
Turn off the gas supply and retighten all joints.
Repeat test. If bubbles form again, do not use the
barbecue. Please contact your local dealer for
assistance. Leak test annually, and whenever the
gas bottle is removed or replaced.
H. Operation
H1. nWarnings
nBefore proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION
section of this manual.
nThis barbecue is not designed to be used with
more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid
plate. Full coverage of plates will cause excessive
build-up of heat and damage the barbecue.
H2. Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the porcelain,
please use a long handled brush to apply a light coat
of cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing
session. Line the drip tray with aluminium foil, then
place a uniform layer of clean, dry sand 1cm deep
into the tray. This will absorb excess cooking fat, thus
making cleanup easy.
H3. Lighting the Barbecue Using the Integra-
Spark Integrated Ignition System
• Open the roasting hood of your barbecue before
lighting.
• Open the gas control valve on the gas bottle or
regulator.
• Push the control knob of the burner you wish to
light and turn it anti-clockwise until you feel
resistance to the turning. Pause 4 seconds, then
continue turning the control knob until a click is
heard and the burner is lit. Repeat previous step
4-5 times until the burner is lit. Ignite any of the
remaining burners in any order, as needed.
Confirm each burner is alight before igniting
another burner. If any burner fails to ignite after
following above procedure, turn all the knobs to
the off position. Close the gas valve on the gas
bottle. Wait five minutes. Reattempt all of the
above steps. If the barbecue still fails to light,
please refer to the manual ignition instructions
below.
• After ignition, burners should be burned at the
high position for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat
the barbecue. This process should be done
before every cooking session. The hood should
be open during preheating.
• After completion of preheating, turn all burners to
the low position for best cooking results.
H4. Manual Ignition Instructions
• Insert lit match through the leftmost match-
lighting hole on the underside of the control panel
and place near leftmost burner porthole.
• Push and turn the leftmost control knob anti-
clockwise to the high position.
• When the left burner is lit, turn the remaining
burners on from left to right.
• Confirm that each burner is alight before turning
on the next burner.
• If leftmost burner fails to ignite, contact your local
dealer for assistance.
• After ignition, burners should be burned at the
high position for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat
the barbecue. This process should be done
before every cooking session. The hood should
be open during preheating.
• After completion of preheating, turn all burners to
the low position for best cooking results
H5. Grill Cooking
The cast iron burners heat up the lava rock
underneath the grill, which in turn heats the food on
the grill. The natural food juices produced during
cooking fall onto the hot lava rock below and
vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes the
food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique
barbecued flavour. More even cooking of food will be
achieved by using the BBQ with the hood down. This
should only be done with the burners on low.
H6. Griddle Plate Cooking
The cast iron burners heat the griddle plate directly,
which then cooks the food on contact. Plates allow
for the cooking of smaller items, such as seafood,
which could fall through the spaces of a grill. They
are also suitable for cooking items that require high-
temperature/short-duration cooking, such as
vegetables and smaller cuts of fish. Similarly, it can
be used in exactly the same way as a griddle in the
kitchen, for searing steaks, cooking eggs, etc.
Alternatively, it can be used for heating pans or
keeping food warm.
H7. Roasting Hood Cooking
Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give the
option of cooking with hood closed to form an ‘oven’
for roasting food, such as joints of meat, whole
chickens, etc.
When roasting, turn the burner directly under the
food to the OFF position. Turn all other burners to a
LOW to MEDIUM position and close the hood. Avoid
lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is lost every
time the hood is opened. Use the temperature gauge
to check the heat of the barbecue. DO NOT ALLOW
YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT.
