ASSEMBLY OF MAIN BARBECUE Before You Start Side Burner Parts Note the tools you will need before you begin. Assemble the side burner parts as shown. Remove any protective plastic from stainless steel components. The first burner disk should locate onto two notches on the side burner (inside arrows). Check for damaged or missing parts, and consult your retailer if necessary. Also, the two notches on the bottom of the trivet line up with the holes on the side burner (outside arrows).
ASSEMBLY OF MAIN BARBECUE Fit The Burners Fit Cooking Plates And Grates Remove the ‘R’-shaped retaining clips from the burners. You should fit the plate to the left-hand side of the barbecue frame (with the drain hole to the extreme left). The grates are fitted to the right hand side Fit the burners, open end first, over the stem of the control valves at the front of the barbecue. Lower the other end of the burner so the lug locates into the corresponding hole at the rear of the barbecue.

Assemble the shaft in the order shown. Fit The Motor First attach the motor mounting bracket to the roasting hood. Then slide the motor onto the bracket.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS LPG/Propane Cylinder If your barbecue is to be connected to a portable LPG cylinder, you should position it in the far right drawer. Place the prefitted mat down first, then position the cylinder on top. Secure the cylinder by wrapping the strap around the cylinder and clipping it to the bracket slots as shown in the illustration.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Before You Begin Fixed Installation - Portable LP Gas/Propane. Check that the gas type is correct for your type of gas. You will find the gas type label on the side of your barbecue. If your barbecue is of the incorrect gas type, or if you are unsure, consult your dealer before going any further. BeefEater LPG/propane barbecues are designed to operate at 2.75Kpa (11”WC).
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Converting the unit to natural gas 9. 1. Turn off the gas supply valve on the gas cylinder. Ensure that all gas controls on the BBQ are in the OFF position. Replace all parts into position in the BBQ. Aeration Screw Adjustment 2. Disconnect the hose and regulator from the gas cylinder and disconnect the gas hose from the barbecue gas inlet using a 19mm open-ended spanner/wrench. 3. Open hood and remove all cooking plates, grills and vaporisers from the BBQ. 4.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Secure All Joints And Leak Test the fixed gas supply outlet. Turn down adjustment • When converting to natural gas the turndown setting will need to be adjusted to give a satisfactory flame on low setting on each burner. • Remove knob from valve shafts. For ignition valve the low flame adjustment screw is located on the lower right hand cornerHigh of the front of the valve body. Low Off Never use a naked flame to check for gas leaks.
USING YOUR BARBECUE Before You Light The Barbecue Perform the following checks • Make sure all gas connections are tight and leak tested. • Ensure the cooking surfaces are clean and hygienic. • Check the control knobs are in the off position. • Check that the gas supply is turned on. Low Low Off - Knob points to right. Off Off Off • Ensure the hood of the barbecue and the lid of the side burner are up. If you do not, gases can build up inside the hood and create a dangerous situation.
USING YOUR BARBECUE How Long Will The Gas In My Cylinder Last? If you have a full cylinder of propane, just look at the table below to see how many hours of gas you have, depending on how many burners you have alight. These figures are approximate only. You may notice that if you have several burners alight and your cylinder becomes low on gas, the liquid may freeze up. If this occurs, turn the cylinder and all burners off and wait till the liquid thaws. You may then reignite the burners.
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR BARBECUE Preheating Your Barbecue Like an oven, preheating your barbecue before cooking produces better results. Because your hood retains heat so efficiently, preheating your barbecue is quicker with the hood down. Turn the outside two burners to high. Close the hood, and allow to preheat for about 8 minutes. Then reduce the burner settings to achieve and maintain the required temperature, by following these guidelines.
GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR BARBECUE Direct Cooking Method Using The Rotisserie Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food directly over the lit grill section. Excess flaring may occur and so care must be taken while cooking. Check inside the roasting hood regularly. We do not recommended this method for roasts unless you place a baking dish under the roast, to allow flammable fats and juices to be isolated away from the flame.
CLEANING YOUR BARBECUE Stainless Steel Grills Discoloration of Stainless Steel Many food acids, marinades, juices and sauces contain highly acidic elements that will slowly attack the surface of the stainless steel if not removed immediately after cooking. Discoloration of stainless steel, caused by high heat is known as ‘Chromium Oxide’ and sometimes appears as a light brown colouring over the surface of the steel. In most cases, this discoloration can be removed with a suitable stainless steel polish.
CLEANING YOUR BARBECUE To Remove The Grease Tray For Cleaning The grease tray slides in and out on two runners at each side. The tray is locked to the runners at four points located at each corner of the tray. First release the front of the tray. To do this, pull the tray up and over the front tabs on each side. You may find it easier to use a flat blade screwdriver to help the tray to disengage. Next, release the rear of the tray, by pushing each of the rear tabs in a rearward direction.
