Operation
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 warranty.
Safety and Care Advice
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 an is not harmful. Line the drip pan
with aluminium foil. This will make cleanup 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 leftmost control knob anti-clockwise until you feel
resistance pause 4 seconds. Then continue turning the control knob until a click is heard and the
burner is lit.
• If the burner fails to ignite after above procedure, turn all the knobs to the OFF position and close the
gas valve on the gas bottle. Wait 5 minutes and then repeat the above steps. If the barbecue still fails
to light, please refer to the manual ignition instruction in the section below.

barbecue. This process should be done before every cooking session. The hood (where applicable)
should be open during preheating.

best cooking results.
