Hose & Regulator Safety

The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue are suitable for propane gas or universal L.P.G only. Hose connection thread is 5/8"-18 U.N.F.

A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75kPa is supplied for connection to the gas cylinder. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue must me used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the barbecue manufacturer.

When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting of the flexible hose.

After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas and check for leaks by brushing a soap and water solution over all connections.

If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the connections, turn off the gas and contact the supplier immediately.

Always ensure the barbecue is kept away from flammable materials and the gas cylinder clear of any heat source.

When changing over from an empty gas cylinder to a full one make sure this procedure is carried out in a well ventilated location, preferably outside, away from people and away from any sources of ignition; such as naked flames, pilot flames, electric heaters/equipment.

Gas Cylinder Use & Safety

This is a low pressure barbecue and must only be used with the regulator supplied. Your barbecue is designed for use with 4.5Kg or 9Kg gas cylinders certified to AS 2469.

The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable gas supplier and visually inspected and re-qualified at each filling.

Always keep cylinder in an upright position. Always close the cylinder valve when the barbecue is not in use.

Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat.

NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER INDOORS.

If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS disconnect the gas cylinder first and store the cylinder safely outside.

Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area out of reach of children, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

- Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion which could cause serious bodily injury, death or property damage.

CAUTION: Accessible parts may be very hot.

Keep young children away.

Any modifications of this barbecue may be dangerous.

DO NOT move this barbecue during use.

Turn off gas supply at the gas cylinder after use.

Parts sealed by the manufacturer or their agent must not be manipulated by the user. This barbecue is only to be used and stored outdoors.

- Never operate this barbecue without a regulator.

- Do not test for gas leaks with an open flame.

- If this information is not followed exactly a fire causing death or serious injury may occur. Do not store a spare gas cylinder under or near this barbecue. This barbecue is only to be used and stored outdoors.

- If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas) immediately attempt to turn off the cylinder valve. Remove the appliance to a well ventilated location away from any ignition source. Only check for leaks outdoors using soapy water. DO NOT try to detect leaks using a flame.

- DO NOT replace the grill with an extra hotplate. The warranty will be voided and it violates the gas approval, the grill provides the ventilation needed for the BBQ to operate safely. It is not designed to be a solid hotplate device.

IF THERE IS A LEAK

• Turn the cylinder off.
• Ventilate the area to disperse gas.
• Check all connections.
• If leak persists, keep the cylinder upright. Keep skin away from any gas or liquid escaping from the cylinder.
• Keep the cylinder at least 20 metres away from any sparks or ignition sources, including electrical equipment, camera flashes, engines and motors.

Care & Maintenance

As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your new gas barbecue is no exception. By following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your barbecue will be kept clean and working properly with minimum effort.

Flash-Back

Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. Cleaning with a soft brush before use and at least every six months is recommended.

This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.

If fire occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the burner control to 'OFF', wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner ports.

Cleaning the Cooking Surface

After cooking, turn burner control to 'OFF' and let barbecue cool before attempting to clean the cooking surface. Before first use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the cooking surface in a mild soap and warm water solution.

Care of Cooking Surface

Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not use pans on the cooking surface. Do not overheat the cooking surface with the hood down or no food on the cooking surface.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue remove and empty the drip tray after each use. Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch before disposing of contents.

The drip tray should be washed periodically in a mild detergent and warm water solution.

IMPORTANT

• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
• This appliance must only be serviced by an authorised person.
• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended that the drip tray be checked and emptied regularly. Contents of the drip tray may be very hot during cooking. If emptied during extended cooking extreme caution should be taken and direct contact by hand should be avoided at all times. Allow to cool completely before disposing of the contents.

General Assembly

CONNECTING & DISCONNECTING TO GAS SOURCE

Familiarise yourself with the general information and safety guidelines located at the front of this manual.

Check

1. Gas cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be heard when shaken.
2. The burner control is in the 'OFF' position.

Connecting

1. Ensure valve is in OFF position.
2. Check for any damage to the cylinder connection. NEVER attempt to use damaged equipment.
3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the nut to a positive stop by hand or spanner.
4. Open cylinder valve fully. If a leak can be heard at either end of the hose turn cylinder off and tighten joint. Wait 5 minutes before re-testing and use a soapy water solution to check the joint. If bubbles appear the connection will need to be re-tightened.

Disconnecting

1. Ensure the burner control is in the 'OFF' position.
2. Ensure the gas cylinder is in the full OFF position.
3. Detach the hose from cylinder.

IMPORTANT

• IMPORTANT: Before connecting and disconnecting barbecue to gas source, make sure burner controls are in 'OFF' position.
• CAUTION: When the barbecue is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the cylinder.
• Check that the seals between the appliance and the gas cylinder are in place and in good condition before connecting the gas cylinder.
• Do not use this appliance if it has damaged or worn seals.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

Burner Operation & Ignition System Check

1. With cylinder valve in 'OFF' position push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to HIGH. Check for sparking to the burners.
2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition point, check for any loose leads at either the electrode or the ignition pack.
3. Push and turn anti-clockwise to HIGH the control knob.
4. The side burner cover must be open before pushing and turning the control knob anti-clockwise to HIGH.
5. If the burner fails to light after several attempts turn off the gas supply and inspect for any obstructions to the gas flow.

If re-ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue is still hot, you must wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before commencing to re-ignite (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).

OPERATING PROCEDURE

Preheating

It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least 5 minutes before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of good and the cooking temperature, needs only a period of 2-3 minutes preheating.

Cooking Temperatures

HIGH setting - Use this setting only for fast warm up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue from the grill plates after cooking is over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting for extended cooking.

MEDIUM setting (mid-way between 'HIGH' and 'LOW'). Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.

LOW setting - Use this setting when cooking very lean cuts such as fish. These temperatures vary with outside temperature and the amount of wind.

Roasting

For best results when roasting remove the hotplate and centre the grill. The outer two burners should be used on the low to medium setting.

Adjust the control knob to maintain the temperature around the medium mark (approx 200^ to 230^ ).

Approximate Cooking Time

The table below shows approximate cooking times with the control set to 'MEDIUM' temperature.

Barbecue Roasts Minutes (approx.)

Chicken & Rare Beef 45 minutes per Kg

Beef & Medium Lamb 60 minutes per Kg

Pork & Well Done Beef/Lamb 75 minutes per Kg

IMPORTANT

The side burner is designed for use with a wok or cooking pot up to 300mm in diameter.
