INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS & WARNINGS
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS READ THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE FRONT OF
THE BARBECUE.
This BBQ is designed and approved for outdoor use only.
Be mindful of the location of the installation of the BBQ.
If you are using the roasting hood it is better that the prevailing wind blows
into the front of the BBQ during cooking.
NOTE:
Strong winds blowing into the back or across the back of the hood whilst
cooking with the hood closed can cause overheating of the BBQ. The Roasting
Hood is designed so that hot air from inside the Roasting Hood is released
through the vent in the top of the Roasting Hood when it is shut while
roasting.
Strong winds can prevent the hot air escaping out of this vent and may even in
some cases push the hot air down and out the front of the base of the BBQ
Fascia where the cold fresh air is designed to enter the BBQ Body.
This choice of installation can cause the front of the BBQ to get unusually
hot and can damage the ignition system and control valves.
Be sensible about the location of your BBQ.
The cabinet must be located on a solid and level surface that can safely
support the BBQ.
The Cabinet Trolley is fitted with lockable Stainless Steel Castors, when you
have your BBQ installed into position, the brakes on the Castors must be
locked to avoid the Cabinet Trolley from moving during use.
Do not locate the BBQ near combustible materials or surfaces, either
above or around the BBQ such as overhanging trees, bushes or flammable liquids
and the like.
Do not obstruct any of the air ventilation openings on the front of the
BBQ.

WARNING
There must be no naked flames in the area when connecting the BBQ to a gas
supply.
- Attach the regulator to the gas cylinder by tightening the wing nut on the regulator firmly by hand.
- Once connected, leak test the connections by brushing a solution of soapy water around the joints and gas cylinder valve.
You must have the control knobs in the off position and have the gas supply on
at the cylinder valve to test for leaks.
If bubbles appear around the connections, you have a leak. Photo of what a
typical leak looks like.
Turn off the gas supply and tighten or re-seal the connection.
Leak test the connections again
Photo of what a good connection looks like i.e. no bubbles.
If leaks are still present do not use the BBQ, contact the place of purchase
or your local dealer.
The GT Cabinet Trolley has been designed so as the Gas Cylinder can be stored
securely inside the Cabinet. There is a securing chain attached inside the
right hand Cabinet Doors and a manual lighting match holder is also attached
to the chain.
GAS INSTALLATION
Check that the hose is not kinked or under tension.
Apart from the connection point the hose must not be touching any part of the
BBQ or Wok burner where it may get hot and be damaged.
For storage, cylinder exchange or refilling, disconnect the hose at the
cylinder only.
Do not disconnect the hose from the appliance.
Do not attempt to open or adjust the regulator, if you think it is not
working properly consult your local dealer.
FOR PERMANENT CONNECTIONS to natural gas or a fixed propane supply, an
authorized person, in accordance with these instructions, local gas fitting
regulations, municipal building codes, the AGA installation code AS5601 and
any other relevant statutory regulations, must be employed.
NOTE:
The installer must test the BBQ when the installation is completed. Before
leaving the installer must make sure the appliance operates correctly and is
safe for the operator to use. The gas inlet connection must have a thread in
accordance with AS ISO 7.1 or AS 1722.2.
For connection to a natural gas bayonet fitting, a gas regulator must be
fitted at the inlet of the appliance, and an approved 10mm, class A, natural
gas hose (no longer than 2 meters), going from the gas regulator to the
bayonet point, complying with AS1869 must be used.
Where a mobile appliance is to be connected to a fixed gas supply via a
flexible hose connection the restraining cord supplied must be fixed to the
appliance and the wall/floor within 50mm of each connection point.
The length of the restraining cord shall not exceed 80% of the length of the
hose as it is designed to prevent stress on the hose assembly when the
appliance is moved out of its normal operating position.
It is recommended that an isolation valve and union be fitted before the BBQ;
refer AS5601/ AG601 for correct pipe sizing to ensure adequate gas is supplied
to the appliance.
For natural gas check the pressure of the regulator and adjust it if necessary
to the pressure shown on the data plate.
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
TAKE CARE OF THE APPLIANCE
-
Before each use remove any accumulated grease and other cooking residue. Fat/ grease fires are not covered by warranty.
-
Your BBQ should be cleaned regularly with hot soapy water and dried afterwards. Do not use steel wool as it will leave steel deposits on the surface of which can cause rust. Scotch Bright pads can be used but will generally leave scratch marks where you have rubbed. Only use these on stubborn un-washable deposits.
-
To remove and prevent rust marks, polish the BBQ with stainless steel polish regularly. Hint, rub the BBQ over with a cloth after each use when the BBQ is still hot and the grease on the BBQ will wipe off easy and make it easy to look after as it leaves a slight cover of grease on the stainless steel which impedes the salt air from settling in the pours of the stainless steel surface.
-
Grease or oil the shafts of the gas control valves where they enter the alloy housing every 3 months to avoid them from seizing up. If they become hard to turn or if you smell gas, get the BBQ serviced.
-
Periodically check the leads on the ignitions for any cracks that are connected to the probes and buttons.
-
Do not attempt to dismantle control valves or the regulator.
-
Periodically remove the burners and scrub them with soapy water and a wire brush.
Make sure the ports are clear from obstructions, unscrew the air mixture cap and gauze from the throat of the burner periodically and brush away any dust, spider webs or insect nests that may have built up, replace them and screw them back on.
When replaced turn each burner on and check that the flame pattern is good, you can adjust the air mixture by turning the cap on the end of the burner throat open or closed. You want a blue flame with a yellow tip. -
Check hose and regulator regularly and replace if damaged.
-
It is recommended that the hose and regulator be replaced every 5 years.
-
If you cannot operate the BBQ correctly turn it off.
Do not continue to use it. Take it back to the place of purchase or local dealer and get them to test and repair it. -
Stainless Steel BBQs can be affected by high temperatures of which can cause discoloration on the BBQ frame.
-
Check and tighten nuts and bolts on the BBQ regularly.
-
A canvas cover will help keep your BBQ protected from weather. Make sure the BBQ is dry before putting the cover on or corrosion may occur. Coastal climates are particularly vulnerable to this.
-
Check all connections for gas soundness.

Servicing must only be carried out by authorized personnel.
This appliance must not be modified.
