• If the gas cylinder appears to be the source of smell/leakage, place this outdoor with good ventilation and away from possible ignition sources

Operation

Lighting procedure

• Lighting the oven is easy, but must be done with due care
• Make sure the gas is turned ON at the cylinder, or that gas is available to the oven
• Make sure the gas cylinder is filled
• Check that end of each burner tube is properly located over each valve orifice
• Make sure all gas connections are securely tightened

Flame thrower ignition

This oven is equipped with automatic ignition, as indicated on the front fascia of the oven frame It works by throwing a flame to the side of the burner to light Push the knob in and turn anti-clockwise to the HIGH position You should hear and feel a click from the knob Hold the knob in until the burner ignites If the burner does not light on the first attempt, return the knob to the OFF position and try a couple more times If the burner still does not light, wait a few minutes to allow the gas to disperse before trying again
Manual Ignition

1. Place a lit match or gas lighter (not provided) to the outlet
2. Keep your hand below the bottom of the burner while doing this
3. Turn the burner ON
4. You should see the burner alight
5. Repeat to light the other burners

Turning OFF the oven
When finished cooking, leave the burners at the HIGH position up to 5 minutes so that any remaining grease from the food will be removed When turning OFF the oven, close the supply from the gas cylinder first; this will allow the gas remaining in the hose to evaporate This will only require a few seconds The burners can then be switched OFF
Controlling the flames
The knobs have three basic positions You can achieve any flame height between low and high by rotating the knob between these positions NOTE
‘Blowback’ is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner, towards the front, recognised by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner It is not dangerous unless allowed to persist If this occurs, simply turn the burner OFF, wait a few seconds, and then relight
First time use – curing the plate
During manufacturing, the cooking surface is coated with a non-toxic paint This paint will come off completely over time Its purpose is purely to help protect your oven during transport and storage.
Coat the cooking surface with canola oil or cooking oil Light the oven Leave the oven with all burners on low for about 30 minutes Paint may come off at this time After cleaning, the cooking surface is now cured and ready for use This process only needs to be done the first time you use the oven.
Preparing the cooking surface
It is recommended to coat the cooking surface with cooking oil before lighting as this will help keep the food from sticking to the cooking surface Turn on the burners and leave them burning at a low temperature (“LOW”) to preheat the cooking surface.
While cooking
Flames caused by fat dripping from the food could damage the food, causing the food to burn easily Remove excess fat from the meat if this becomes a problem Removing the meat from the flames is also advisable Always monitor your cooking and avoid leaving the oven unattended while cooking.
After cooking
To turn the oven off, it is best to turn off the cylinder first, and allow all the gas remaining in the hose to burn off, this will only take a couple of seconds Then turn off all burners.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• This product is for outdoor use only
• Do NOT use indoors
• Do NOT use below ground level
• Do NOT store gas cylinders below ground level
• Gas is heavier than air so if a leak occurs the gas will collect ata low level and could ignite in the presence of a flame or spark
• Do not store or use gas cylinders on their side as this could allow liquid gas into the supply pipes with serious consequences
• Leak test your appliance before each use Leak test the hose connections each time you reconnect the gas cylinder
• Always turn off the gas at the cylinder when not in use
• Open the door of the frame to inspect the hose before each use If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut it must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation
• Only use hose supplied from the manufacturer

You must have the correct gas cylinder, regulator and hose for appliance to operate safely and efficiently. Use of anincorrect gas cylinder, regulator or hose is dangerous and will void the warranty on this product.

Cleaning & maintenance

Burning at maximum heat for approximately 5-10 minutes is recommended after each use to clean the cooking surface Remnants of food and grease can then removed using a brush You should use an oven mitt to avoid burning yourself Then recoat the plate with cooking oil for continued protection.
NOTE
The cooking surface should be coated with cooking oil if the oven is not to be used for a longer period of time Failure to do this will result in a layer of rust on the surface.
Caring for the oven
Your oven should be kept clean to prevent deterioration and it will look better and last longer if you keep the oven clean.
The oven should be regularly cleaned and be protected by a fitted cover when not in use Clean the oven thoroughly on a regular basis, and cover it with a thin layer of neutral oil (acid free oil).
Grease can build up on the frame itself Most of it can be cleaned off with hot water Use a non-caustic cleanser for morestubborn stains.
Movable parts such as the hinges, wheel nuts and doors should be sprayed with a lubricant
Reminder
Always ensure that the appliance has cooled down before cleaning Hot surfaces may cause serious burns or injuries If appliance is still hot, use oven mitts to protect your hands.
Oven Maintenance
Apart from cleaning, your BBQ is a fairly low maintenance appliance Below are a couple of things worth looking at though Remember to turn off and disconnect the gas before any maintenance is carried out

• If your oven uses a flexible hose to connect to the gas, check the rubber O-ring on the regulator end of the hose assembly at least once a year If it appears worn or cracked, have it replaced the flexible hose is 800mm in length
• We recommend having your oven checked by an authorized service agent every 5 years This is to ensure there are no leaks and that all components are still functioning correctly
• If you use a portable gas cylinder, you will need to have the cylinder serviced or replaced every ten years The date of the last service should be stamped on the neck of the bottle
• Keep the outdoor oven area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapours or liquids
• Make sure there is no obstruction surrounding the oven, which may block the flow of combustion and ventilation air
• To maintain the surface of your hotplate, it is recommended to keep the hotplate plate oiled at all times and covered when not in use A oven cover is also recommended to protect your oven from all weather conditions

Burner Maintenance
You should check the burners periodically for any sort of blockage To do this, remove and inspect them If any of the holes are clogged, gently tap the burner onto a hard surface to remove residue Use a wire brush to unclog the holes Once this is done, lightly coat the burners with oil to help protect them from rust.
To reduce the chance of “ FLASH-BACK’, the procedure below should be followed at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active or when your oven has not been used for a period of time.

1. Turn all burner valves to the full OFF position
2. Turn the gas cylinder valve (clockwise) to the full OFF position
3. Detach the regulator assembly from the gas cylinder
4. Remove all burners from the bottom of the oven Use a screwdriver or needle nose pliers
5. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice
6. Refer to figure below and perform one of these three cleaning methods

Bend a stiff wire, (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown below Run the hook through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.
Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle Run the brush through the burner tube and inside the burner several times, removing any debris.
Use an air hose to force air through each burner tube The forced air should pass debris or obstructions through the burner and out the ports.

1. Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.
2. Use a wire brush to clean the entire outer surface of each burner until free of food residue or dirt.
3. Clean clogged ports with wire, such as an open paper clip.

Inspect each burner after installation, check to ensure that the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside the end of the burner tubes Also check the position of your spark electrode.
