OTHER PRECAUTIONS

Do not obstruct any of the ventilation openings in the barbecue body. Also, position the gas supply cylinder inside the cabinet, in the cylinder base positioning hole. Should you need to change the gas cylinder, confirm that the cylinder is off, and that there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near before proceeding. Be sure to inspect the gas hose and ensure it is free of any twisting or tension. The hose should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks, which could obstruct free flow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot barbecue parts. Inspect the hose before use. If the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use with ULPG and meet the national standards for the country of use. The length shall not exceed 1.5m. Should minimum clearances not be adhered to severe flare up may be experienced due to lack of airflow around the barbecue, thus voiding manufacturer's warranty.

This barbecue is designed for LP gas use only. Bottle sizes of 4.5kg or greater are recommended for use with this barbecue. Suitable LPG regulators must have an outlet pressure of 2.75 kPa. You must have the proper regulator and bottle in order for the barbecue to operate safely and efficiently. Please consult your local gas dealer for the most suitable gas cylinders. Please note the regulator supplied with this barbecue is of an approved type.

The manifold thread type is 5/8" x 18.

For more information on pipe sizing, please refer to AS/NZS 5601 / AG601.

The gas cylinder must always be stored or used in an upright position.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - NOTE: - 1

IMPORTANT

Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check the connections before each use.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - IMPORTANT - 1

WARNING!

  • Do not light the grill if odour of gas is present.
  • It is important to ensure that all control valves, including the gas cylinder, are turned off after use.
  • When using the rear burner and rotisserie use 1 or 2 of the main burners at the low heat setting if a little extra heat is required.
  • Do not use the rear burner in combination with main burners on high heat setting when the hood is closed.
  • Caution / Danger: Extreme care is required when cooking with hood in closed position. Frequent checks must be undertaken for the heat and temperature to ensure safe cooking.
  • Too much heat can cause fire.

TURNING OFF A BURNER

To turn a burner to the 'OFF' position, it's a two step action. (1) Turn the knob clockwise to High (2) then push in the knob and turn clockwise to the 'OFF' position.

When you have finished using your barbecue, turn off the gas at the bottle. Push in and then turn all the control valves fully clockwise to the "OFF" position. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before replacing the barbecue lid or closing its hood. Once cooled, a

protective cover should always be fitted to the barbecue to protect your investment from the ailments when not in use.

WARMING RACK

Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread rolls. Always check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use.

GRILL COOKING

The burners heat up the flame tamers underneath the grill, which in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural juices produced during cooking fall onto the flame tamers below and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique barbecue flavour.

FLAT PLATE / FLAT-RIBBED PLATE

The burners heat the griddle plate directly, which then cooks the food on contact. These 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, these can be used in exactly the same way as a griddle in the kitchen, for searing steaks, cooking eggs, etc.

DO NOT use both the plate and deep dish at the same time. This will cause your BBQ to overheat and could cause a fire.

COOKING AND USE OF HOOD

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.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - COOKING AND USE OF HOOD - 1

WARNING!

Cooking with the hood closed and the burners on high creates a fire risk. When the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped inside the barbecue. Thus, it is IMPORTANT to make sure that all the burners are turned to the low position to prevent burning of the food and damaging the barbecue. 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.

For safety reasons, barbecue plates and grills will not cook as hot towards the front of the barbecue.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - WARNING! - 1

natural_image 3D diagram of a rectangular panel with gradient fill and label 'FRONT' (no other text or symbols)

The slightly lower temperature at the front can easily be overcome by rotating the food being cooked around the barbecue plate or grill.

FLARE-UP CONTROL

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fats and juices fall upon the flame tamers. The smoke from some flare-up helps give cooked meat its barbecued flavour, but excessive flare-up will result in meat being burned. To control flare-up, it is advisable to trim away excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. Also, the burners should always be placed on the low setting during cooking. Finally, extinguish flare-ups by applying baking soda or salt directly onto the flame tamers. Always protect your hands when handling anything near the cooking surface of the barbecue.

If a fat fire should occur in the drip tray, turn all knobs to the off position, turn off the gas at the bottle, and wait for the fire to go out. Do not pull out the drip tray or douse with water.

COOKING USING OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES ROTISSERIE COOKING (OPTIONAL)

Centrally secure the food with the rotisserie prongs, turning the rotisserie rod by hand to test for balance, adjust the food position if required. Insert pointed end of rod into the motor, test that everything is running correctly.

Using the Rear Burner for roasting on a barbecue can be different depending on our preferences. A suggestion might be to use 1-3 of the main burners to cook the roast and then use the Rear Burner towards the end of the cooking to "brown up" the roast. Using the Rear Burner by itself to do the cooking can take a long time depending on the size of the roast.

Do not use the rear burner in combination with main burners on high heat setting when the hood is closed.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - COOKING USING OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES ROTISSERIE COOKING (OPTIONAL) - 1

WARNING!

- Caution / Danger: Extreme care is required when cooking with hood in closed position. Frequent checks must be undertaken for the heat and temperature to ensure safe cooking.

• Too much heat can cause fire.

  1. Carefully remove the cast iron cooking surfaces and the warming rack from the barbecue.
  2. Place the flame tamers to the centre of the barbecue body. It is over this area that the meat will be cooked.
  3. Slide one of the spit forks onto the spit rod and tighten its thumb screw to secure it into place. Insert the pointed end of the spit rod into the meat being cooked and slide the meat towards the centre of the rod. Make sure the fork is fully into the meat. Slide the other fork onto the rod, into the meat, and tighten the thumb screw once in place. For optimal rotisserie cooking, food must be placed securely onto the middle of the spit rod and balanced so that the rotisserie can rotate freely without interference from any barbecue surfaces. Any loose sections of meat should be secured so they do not hang down and interfere with the rotation of the spit rod.
  4. Insert the pointed end of the spit rod into the motor. Lay the other end of the spit rod onto the opposite bracket.
  5. Light the barbecue.
  6. Turn on the rotisserie motor to begin rotisserie cooking. The hood has been designed so that it may be closed during rotisserie cooking.
  7. Always cook foods on the lowest flame setting to avoid burning or overcooking.
  8. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT. A BARBECUE SHOULD NEVER BE LEFT UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING!
  9. If cooking with rotisserie using indirect heat (not using burners directly under meat - oven style cooking), a baking dish (not supplied on some models) can be placed under the food to catch fats and drippings.

Care and Maintenance

Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially after extended periods of storage. Ensure the barbecue and its components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Do not leave the barbecue exposed to outside weather conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.

  • Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
  • Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.

Whilst our products are made to the highest standards and all care is taken to make them as weather proof as possible, we cannot accept responsibility for rust occurring on exposed metal parts unless this is a result of faulty manufacture of parts.

In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue, we strongly recommend that the unit is covered when not in use, especially during the winter months.

STAINLESS STEEL CARE AND CLEANING ADVICE

Cleanliness and stainless steel are closely related. Stainless steel performs best when clean - cleanliness is essential for maximum resistance to corrosion and to maintain the good looks and life of your BBQ.

TYPES OF SURFACE CONTAMINANTS

Fingerprints and Stains

Fingerprints and mild stains resulting from normal use are the most common surface contaminates. They can be removed with a glass cleaner or with a soft rag. This should be followed by a thorough warm water rinse.

DIRT

Like any surface that is exposed to the environment especially in coastal areas, stainless steel can get dirty. Cleaning with warm water with or without a gentle detergent is sufficient. Next in order are mild non-scratching abrasive powders such as typical household cleaners. These can be used with warm water, nylon bristle brushes, sponges, or clean cloths. Carbon steel brushes or steel wool should be avoided as they may leave particles embedded on the surface which can lead to RUSTING. Cleaning should always be followed by rinsing in clean hot water.

GREASE

Grease may soil stainless steel surfaces in food preparation. These soils may be mildly corrosive if left or may not allow the surface to maintain passivity, and so regular removal is a necessity for the appearance.

TYPES OF CLEANERS AND METHODS

Consider the possibility of scratching and the potential for post-cleaning corrosion caused by incompletely removed cleaners. Avoid using abrasive cleaners unless absolutely necessary.

CLEAN WATER AND WIPE

A soft cloth and clean warm water should always be the first choice for mild stains and loose dirt and soils. A final rinse with clean water and a dry wipe will complete the process and eliminate the possibility of water stains.

HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS

Household cleaners fall into two categories: detergent (non-abrasive) and abrasive cleaners. Abrasive cleaners are more effective but introduce the possibility of scratching the surface. A neutral cleaner low in chloride is essential. The cleaning method generally employed with these cleaners is to apply them to the stainless surface and follow by cloth wiping in the direction of the grain or polish lines (not across them). The cleaned surface should be thoroughly rinsed with clean water and wiped dry with a soft cloth if water streaking is a consideration.

CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL IN YOUR BBQ

Your BBQ features Stainless Steel components. All Stainless Steel grades require a level of care and protection to retain their appearance. Stainless Steels are not immune to corrosion and neither are they maintenance-free, contrary to popular public perception. Even the highest marine grades of Stainless Steel require frequent cleaning to avoid oxidation and other corrosive issues.

Modern tastes dictate that your BBQ features Stainless Steel with a brushed finish. This brushed finish is attained by running Stainless Steel sheets through an abrasive process that removes the mirror finish and leaves the brushed finish. Brushed-finish Stainless Steel requires frequent cleaning and care, to maintain its quality of appearance. Without adequate care it is realistic to expect that it will show signs of corrosion in time.

Stainless steel is definitely not a maintenance-free material. Cleanliness and Stainless Steel are closely related.

The cleaner stainless steel can be kept while in storage or during use, the greater the assurance of optimum corrosion resistance. In order to maintain the good looks and life of your BBQ, follow these summary tips on the care of stainless steel:

  • When new or when cleaned and dried, we recommend the owner apply a thin coat of Olive Oil to stainless steel surfaces which should then be polished in. The Olive Oil will help greatly in protecting the stainless steel from corrosive contaminants and assisting removal of finger prints and other marks, keeping the appearance of the stainless steel in new condition. The Olive Oil coating also makes further polishing easier.
  • Use clean, soft cloths or sponges to clean your grill.
  • Carbon steel brushes or steel wool should never be used.
  • Do routine cleaning of exposed surfaces.
    • After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water.
  • Cleaning with chloride-containing detergents must be avoided.
  • On polished finishes, rubbing or wiping should be done in the direction of the polish lines, NOT across them.
  • Care must be taken when cleaning the fascia. Printed information may be erased with heavy cleaning.

CAST IRON COOKING SURFACES

Before cooking with the grill, flat plate or deep dish (if supplied with your BBQ) clean these with hot soapy water to remove any oil or residue from the packaging or manufacturing process. Wash with clean water and let the plates dry naturally. Prior to lighting your BBQ place them back into the BBQ. Then after lighting your BBQ, let the plates warm up slowly over a period of 30 minutes, during this time increasing the heat. You will notice slight vapors rise from the plates, this is natural as residues are burned off. Turn off your BBQ to allow the plate to cool slightly. The plates can now be prepared with the addition of cooking oil. Take care that the plates are not at a temperature where adding the oil will cause a hazard. Brush the oil over the plate, allowing the oil to be absorbed into the surface. Allow the plate to fully cool, then remove any excess oil. the BBQ is now ready. Repeat the above to keep the plate and grill in a ready condition after each BBQ session.

PORCELAIN ENAMEL COOKING SURFACES

Porcelain Enamel surfaced items should be treated with care and should not be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner or scratchy cleaning item. Surfaces will crack or chip if hit or dropped. Porcelain Enamel surfaces should NOT be regarded as 'Non-stick', use of cooking oil is required as normal. Food will likely stick to an overheated or un-oiled enamel surface. The surface will be more easily cleaned by first soaking overnight.

BURNER MAINTENANCE AND REPLACEMENT

Provided that they are operating correctly, in normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean. The burners should be removed and cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of

blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes, the primary air inlet, or the neck of the stainless steel burners. Use a pipe cleaner to clear obstructions. When refitting the burners, be careful to check they are positioned as follows. The neck of the burner fits over the valve outlet, the top flaps of the gas collector boxes fit over the top surfaces of the burners.

Both the stainless steel burners and flame tamers do have a defined operating lifespan, these products are often exposed to cooking marinades and extreme heat in an area of the barbecue which can be neglected during regular cleaning.

Replacement parts are available from your local barbecue dealer.

CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY

Follow these instructions to clean and / or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting grill.

  1. Turn gas off at control knobs and LP Tank.
  2. Remove cooking grates and grease tray.
  3. Remove cotter pins from beneath each burner "foot" using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers.
  4. Carefully lift each burner up and away from valve openings.

We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you.

(A) Bend a stiff wire( a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through each burner tube and burner several times.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY - 1

(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (DO NOT use a brass wire brush), run the brush through each burner tube and burner several times.

(C) Wear eye protection: use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the air ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

  1. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
  2. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
  3. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must re-engage valve openings. See instructions below.

  1. Carefully replace burners.
  2. Replace cotter pin beneath each burner.
  3. Replace grease tray and cooking grates.

Bumper Valve

SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING!

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of the grill and cause the gas to flow from the front of the burner. This is a very dangerous condition, which can cause a fire to occur, thereby damaging the grill and making it unsafe to operate.

WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS

You should inspect the burners at least once a year or immediately after any of the following conditions occur:

  • The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames appearing yellow.
  • The BBQ does not reach temperature.
    • The BBQ heats unevenly.
  • The burners make popping noises.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS - 1

NOTE:

Cooking with the rear burner allows the food to "self baste" as it is turned, any excess juices will fall into the baking dish.

Your BBQ is safe to use with the hood closed however the internal temperature must be checked. Cooking with the rear burner is designed to be a slow cooking process, this allows the food to be succulent. External temperatures and breeze will effect the internal temperature, as a guide this should be around 165^ C to 180^ C.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - NOTE: - 1

NOTE:

  • Vegetables and herbs can be placed into the baking dish, these items will cook/flavour the food at the same time.
  • When using the rear burner and rotisserie use 1 or 2 of the main burners at the low heat setting if a little extra heat is required.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - NOTE: - 1

WARNING!

  • Do not use the rear burner in combination with main burners on high heat setting when the hood is closed.
  • Caution / Danger: Extreme care is required when cooking with hood in closed position. Frequent checks must be undertaken for the heat and temperature to ensure safe cooking.
  • Too much heat can cause fire.

DRIP TRAY

After every use, check the drip tray, drip pan, and foil pan for fat build-up. Failure to maintain these areas could result in a fat fire or excessive flare up. This can severely damage your barbecue and is not covered by the warranty.

BARBECUE BODY

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - BARBECUE BODY - 1

WARNING!

Not cleaning the barbecue can pose a fire risk!

Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body with a soft plastic or wooden scraper. It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. If you need to clean fully, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Remove cooking surfaces and burners before full cleaning. Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully refitting into body.

FIXINGS

All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.

END OF THE COOKING SESSION

After each cooking session, turn the BBQ burners to the High ( ^® ) position and burn off for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off food residue, thus making cleaning easier.

STORAGE

Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with aluminium foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from collecting in burner holes. A protective cover should always be fitted to the barbecue to protect your investment from the elements when

not in use. If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas bottle should always be stored outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children tamper with the bottle.

To protect your investment it is recommended that BBQs are protected by a suitable BBQ cover. But please note that prior to using a protective cover, the BBQ should always be cool, cleaned of any surface contaminant or dirt and be thoroughly dry. Failure to follow this information can lead to a BBQ cover being a corrosion breeder rather than a protective tool.

MASPORT Lifestyle 4 - STORAGE - 1

NOTE:

If leaving your BBQ covered for long periods, occasionally check for corrosion and insect habitation. Oil surfaces for extra protection.
