Assembly Instructions

flexible hose.
Check your hose and regulator closely, at least
annually, for any signs of damage, cracking or splits
due to aging especially if the barbecue is stored
outdoors. It is strongly recommended that the hose and
regulator be replaced at least every 5 years to avoid
failure due to aging.
Please consult your dealer for information regarding a
suitable regulator and hose if a replacement is needed.
Installation
Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should be
placed in a well-ventilated area, and on a safe and
even surface. Never place your barbecue below
ground level or under flammable materials such as
wooden structures or trees. Ensure that the barbecue
is used on a non-combustible floor. The sides of the
barbecue should NEVER be closer than 1 metre from
any combustible surfaces including trees, walls and
fences, and make sure that there are no heat sources
near the barbecue (cigarettes, open flames, sparks,
etc.) Keep this barbecue away from any
flammable materials!
Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body. Position the gas cylinder on level
ground next to the barbecue and safely away from any
source of heat. Should you need to install or change
the gas cylinder, confirm that the barbecue is switched
off, and that there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes,
open flame, sparks, etc.) nearby before proceeding.
Fixing a Regulator to the Gas Cylinder
Must be done outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the OFF
position. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder
according to your regulator’s and cylinder dealer’s
instructions.
Leak Testing (Always perform a leak test in
a well-ventilated area)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position. Open
the gas control valve on the gas cylinder or regulator.
Check for leaks by brushing a solution of ½ water and
½ liquid detergent or soap over all the gas system
joints, including gas cylinder valve connections, hose
connections, and regulator connections. NEVER USE
AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at any time. If
bubbles form over any of the joints there is a leak.
Turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder. Retighten all
joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form again do not use the
barbecue and contact your local distributor for
assistance. Always wipe the mixed solution (½ water
and ½ liquid detergent or soap) from all joints and
connections after leak testing to prevent possible
corrosion.
Operation
Warning
• Before proceeding, make certain that you have
read and understood 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.
Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking surface,
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 and is not harmful. Line the Grease Tray with
aluminium foil, but do not obstruct the drainage hole
through to the Grease Box. This will make clean-up
easier.
Lighting the Main Burners
• Always open the hood of the barbecue before
lighting. Do not stand with your face directly over
the barbecue.
• Ensure all gas controls on the barbecue are turned
to the OFF position and then slowly open the
cylinder valve (anti-clockwise) 1 ½ turns. If the
