• After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas and check for leaks. Ensure this procedure is carried out in a flame free environment.

TESTING FOR LEAKS – DO THIS BEFORE USING YOUR BBQ

NOTE – DO NOT test for gas leaks with an open flame. If you smell gas, turn off at the source. Before first use, at the beginning of each new season, or whenever a gas cylinder is changed, you must check for gas leaks. Do so by:

• Turn on the gas cylinder.
• Turn all gas valves on the bbq to the ®OFF position.
• Brush a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water to all gas connections.
• The presence of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten or repair as necessary.
• Under no circumstances should a naked flame be used to check for leaks.
• If a gas odour is prsent and no leaks can be found, do not use the bbg. Turn the gas off at the source, disconnect the hose and immediately contact your bbq dealer or place of purchase for assistance.

GAS CYLINDER SAFETY

• Always change over a gas cylinder away from any possible source of ignition in a well ventilated area.
• Do not smoke whilst handling gas cylinders.
• Never store gas cylinder indoors.
• Store away from direct heat in a well ventilated area.
• The gas cylinder can either be positioned on the right side of the bbg on the gas cylinder hook supplied, or alternatively position the cylinder on a flat non-flammable surface.
• Always keep the gas cylinder in an upright position.
• Close cylinder valve when bbq is not in use and, if available, use a sealing plug to prevent possible leaks.
• Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat.
• Do not tamper with any fitting attached to any gas cylinder. Have it taken to the manufacturer or an authorized testing station.
• When the cylinder runs out of gas, have it refilled or swapped at an authorized testing station. They will fill the cylinder to no more than 80% of its capacity. This allows the gas to expand with temperatures.
• Have the cylinder inspected EVERY 10 YEARS at an authorized testing station. The date of every inspection is imprinted onto the cylinder itself.

THE TYPE OF GAS CYLINDER TO BE USED
There are many different sizes of gas cylinder available. The cylinder size shown here is the maximum that should be used.

Gas cylinder capacity: max. 10.5 kg
Height of gas cylinder: max. 595 mm
Diameter of gas cylinder: max. 304 mm

Location of Gas Cylinder
Place cylinder inside the cabinet. Ensure there are no kinks in the gas hose.|
The maximum length of a gas hose used must be not longer than 1.0m.

WHAT IS PROPANE /| BUTANE?
It is a fuel gas compressed till it turns to liquid, then stored in a bottle or cylinder under pressure for easy transport.

JARE ALL GAS BOTTLE GASES THE SAME?
[No. The LPG that cars use is known as auto LPG. It is different to [propane/butane, which is used in household gas appliances. This guide only deals with propane/ butane.

[HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM NATURAL GAS?
Propane and butane are similar to natural gas. They are colorless, [non- poisonous and do not pollute when burnt. There is one important difference, propane and butane are heavier than air, if they escape they don’t float away. The gas collects and forms gas pools at ground level or at the bottom of your appliance.

LIGHTING YOUR BBQ

[JET FLAME IGNITION SYSTEM
[Upon turning the burner control knob you will hear an audible “click”. This is known as a Jet Flame Ignition System. (see Fig.7)

• Lift the hood.
• Turn on the gas cylinder.
• Press and turn any knob anti-clockwise to @ HI to light.
• If bumer does not light. turn to ® OFF, wait 5 minutes then repeat procedure.

IMPORTANT – It is important that all control valves, and the gas cylinder are turned off after use.

MANUAL IGNITION
If necessary this bbq can be lit manually

• Light a 90mm bbg match and hold adjacent to the light hole at the right end of the bbq. (see Fig.8)
  
  

• Turn the right hand gas control knob to the @ HI position. The burner will light from the match.

• Once the right burner is lit, the burner next to it can be turned on and will light off the lit burner.

• Repeat ill all burners are alight.

• The 8 LO position is obtained by turning the knob fully anti-clockwise.

• Adjusting the control knob to your heat requirements can now control the flame.

• It is possible to view the ignition system working and to confirm the burners are definitely lit, simply by looking between the bars of the grill.

IMPORTANT – It is important that all control valves, and the gas cylinder are turned off after use.

SIDE BURNER WITH ROTARY IGNITION SYSTEM
Upon turning the burner control knob you will hear an audible “click”. This is known as a Rotary Ignition System. (see Fig.9)

• The side burner lid must be OPEN before lighting.
• Turn on the gas cylinder.
• Push in and turn the side burner knob slowly in an anti-clockwise direction to the @ HI position or until a click is heard. This will trigger a spark to light the burner.
• If burner does not light immediately, turn the side burner knob to the OFF position and wait five minutes for any accumulated gas to clear out of the BBQ before repeating the procedure.
• The @ LO position is obtained by turning the side burner knob fully anti-clockwise.
• Adjusting the side burner knob to your heat requirements can now control the flame.

IMPORTANT – It is important that all control valves, and the gas cylinder are turned off after use.

NOTE: Use a wok or pan between a minimum of 150mm to a maximum of 240mm in diameter. Larger pots may result in discoloration of the surface finish.

USING YOUR BBQ

• The flame diffuser should be placed underneath the grill as shown in Fig. 10
  
  

FIRST TIME USE OF BBQ
Before using the BBQ for the first time, it is important to season the porcelain coated cast iron cooking grills to protect them from rusting and to provide that wonderful non-stick surface. This can be done in three easy steps.

1. Wash the grills using a light detergent and water. Rinse then dry with a towel. Never air-dry grids or wash them in a dishwasher.
2. Spread a thin coating of cooking oil over entire surface of the cast iron grids with a basting brush or oil mister. Be certain the entire surface, including all corners, have been coated thoroughly. a. We recommend using a high smoke point oil like one of these organic cold pressed cooking oils.
3. Avocado Oil — smoke point (260C / 500F)
4. Rice Bran Oil — smoke point (255C / 500F)
5. Canola Oil = smoke point (204C /400F)
6. Turn on the grill and operate on Med/Low (400F or 200C) for 30 minutes. This will cause the oils to bond with the cast iron and creates a non-stick protective layer.

PROTECTING AND CLEANING THE FAT TRAY

• IMPORTANT – the fat tray and fat collector MUST be cleaned on a regular basis. If this is ignored, a build up of fats and greases may cause a fire in the BBQ (Fig.11).
  
  

• More frequent cleaning may be necessary as usage demands.

• FAT FIRES are NOT covered by warranty.
  

USING A SINGLE FAT TRAY (Fig.12)
The Fat Tray can be protected by first lining the tray with aluminium foil, then fill with a layer of either an approved “fat catch” material or sand to soak up dripping fats and oils during cooking. Sand should be replaced on a regular basis to prevent a build-up of fats and oils that may catch fire.

PREHEATING
Light the burners as previously directed, turn to @ HI and allow the bbq to preheat for 2-5 minutes.

PREPARE THE COOKING SURFACE
It is preferable to apply a light coat of high smoke point oil, such as Canola or Avocado oil, using a long handled brush to the cooking surface prior to lighting each time. The oil will keepthe food from sticking to the cooking surface.

FLARE-UP CONTROL
Anytime you cook meat above an open flame you will have flare-ups, as flare- ups are caused when the natural juices from the meat fall onto or through the flame diffuser. Flare-ups and the resulting smoke are what give meat that delicious bbq flavour, so expect and encouage some flare-up. However excessive flaring can be caused by cooking extra fatty foods directly on the grill, or by cooking with too high temperature. These types of flare-ups should be controlled or your food will burn.

To prevent excessive flare-ups:

• Trim off exess fat from meat and poultry before putting it on the grill.
• Turn the control knob to a lower setting.
• Throw a small amount of baking soda or gently spray a small amount of water (from a meat baster or spray bottle) directly on the flame diffuser to put out excessive flaring.

Note: The flame diffuser disperses the heat from the burners. This results in a uniform heat zone beneath the cooking grill.

COOKING WITH THE ROASTING HOOD DOWN
When using the bbq with the hood closed, use the two outside burners only and position the flame diffuser and grill over the centre burners. This allows for good air circulation within the bbq. Check cooking progress periodically. Exceeding 250°C can damage the bbq and void your warranty.

CLEANING UP AFTER USING THE BBQ
It’s always a good idea to clean and re-season your grills after you have finished cooking.

• With the lid open, tumn the control knobs to the MEDIUM HIGH position. Close the roasting hood and wait for ten minutes. This will help burn off excess food debris and oils. Then, open the roasting hood and turn the control knobs to the off position. Clean your grids by removing any excess food and oils using a quality stainless steel barbecue or nylon bristle grill brush, finally wiping clean with a piece of paper towel.
• Spread a thin coating of High Smoke Point Oil over entire surface of the cast iron grids with a basting brush or oil mister.

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BBQ

PROTECTION AND STORAGE SUMMER
Keep your barbecue beneath a quality cover and in a location where it is out of the rain. Keeping your barbecue clean and dry at all times will ensure it’s always ready to use, and prolong it’s life. WINTER

The barbecue must be stored indoors during the winter season. If this is not possible, do at least the following:

• Stainless Steel Bumers – clean and dry as described below ref: Wrap in paper and store indoors in a well-ventilated dry location.
• Clean and dry the cooking surfaces. Apply a thorough coating of either high smoke point oil such as avocado or canola oil. Wrap in paper and store indoors in a well-ventilated dry location.

Gas cylinders must NOT be stored indoors. Store gas cylinders outdoors in a well-ventilated location.

MAINTAINING THE GRILL SURFACES
The appearance of rust spots on cast iron cooking grills is a sign that they have not been properly seasoned or maintained. Clean the grill as described in the above section: CLEANING UP AFTER USING THE BBQ. Then scour the rusty areas with steel wool, until all traces of rust are gone then wash, dry and repeat seasoning process. Do not ever wash cast iron with soap or place in the dish washer. This couldtake off the protective enamel coating and encourage rust to occur.

CLEANING THE FLAME DIFFUSER
Periodically wash in a warm soapy solution. Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burnt on cooking residue if necessary. Dry thoroughly before re- installing to the bbq body.

CLEANING THE BBQ BODY
The body of the bbg should be cleaned regularly dependant on the use and type of food cooked. Use warm soapy solution.

CLEANING THE BURNERS
Occasionally after long cooking sessions, excess fats, juices and marinades can clog the burners. If so, remove the burners (see removing burners section) for cleaning: – Clean by washing in hot water and detergant.

• Ensure that all burner ports are free from obstruction.
• Rinse in water, dry and retumn to bbq.
• Light immediately to prevent rust and corrosion.

FIRST USE AFTER LONG PERIODS
At the start of each bbq season or before using after a long period of time:

• Read this operation manual again thoroughly.
• Check all gas valve orifices, burner tubes and connections for obstructions.
• Check that all burners are in their correct positions.
• Check to see if the gas cylinder is full.
• Check for gas leaks using a soapy water solution.
• Set burner controls to ®OFF and connect gas supply. – Ensure all grills are clean before use.

REMOVING BURNERS

• Make sure the bbq has been switched off and has completely cooled down.

• Ensure all gas control knobs are set to the ®OFF position and the gas cylinder has been turned off.

• Lift the warming rack and grill off the bbq as shown in (Fig.13).
  
  

• Lift the oil channel and flame diffuser from position as shown in (Fig.14).
  

• Remove the R pin and the screw as shown in (Fig.15).
  
  

• Lift and swing out the burner from position as shown in **(Fig.16).

**

• Clean burners as described on previous page.
• Reverse the previous procedure to re-install the burners, flame diffuser, oil channel, warming rack and grill.

PREVENTING RUST
Rust is a chemical process in which iron oxidizes and begins to flake away the metal. This is caused by water that soaks into the metal or comes in contact with the metal frequently over time. As an outdoor appliance made of steel, some appearance of surface rust should be expected from time to time. Keeping your barbecue under cover, clean and dry, goes a long way to preventing rust occurring. Some tips are:

• Ensure cooking surfaces (including flame tamers) are kept clean and dry after cooking, particularly after cooking with marinades. Cooking surfaces should be rubbed with oil after use.
• Do not leave your barbecue out in the rain.
• Do not store your barbecue when wet. Dry thoroughly first.
• During both Summer and Winter, periodically remove the cover to enable the barbecue to air out, and get rid of any built up condensation.
• Light surface rust may be easily removed with a rag (or aluminium foil), soaked in white vinegar, or by using a commercial rust remover. Dry the affected area and apply a coating of rust preventing fluid, available at most auto stores.
• Chipped enamel can be treated with touch up paint to cover the bare metal surface.

TROUBLESHOOTING
IF BBQ FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY

• Stop, turn off gas at its source and turn all burner controls to ® OFF.
• Do not smoke.
• Check gas supply connections.
• Repeat lighting procedure after waiting for five minutes for accumulated gases to disperse.

If bbaq still fails to operate properly TURN OFF GAS AT SOURCE,
TURN BURNER CONTROLS TO OFF, wait for bbq to cool and check the following:
a) Misalignment of burner tubes over orifices
CORRECTION: Reposition burner tube to properly sit over orifice.
b) Obstruction in gas line
CORRECTION: Remove hose from bbqg. Open gas supply for one second to clear any obstruction from hose. Close off gas supply at source and re-connect hose to bbq.
¢) Blocked orifice
CORRECTION: Remove bumers as described above. Inspect gas valve orifice, clear any obstruction with a fine wire. Re-install burners over orifices and test again.

IF THERE IS A LEAK

• Turn the gas cylinder off,
• Ventilate the area to disperse any accumulated gas. – Check all connections.
• If the leak persists, keep cylinder upright and take to an open area.
• Keep skin away from any gas or liquid escaping from the cylinder.
• Keep the cylinder at least 20 meters away from any sparks or ignition sources including electrical equipment, camera flash, engines or motors.
• Disperse gas by providing maximum ventilation and spraying with a fine water spray.

IF THERE IS A FIRE
If there is a fire at the appliance – If there is a fire at the appliance, turn the gas off at the cylinder.

• Smother the flames with a wet cloth. If there is a fire at the cylinder or you cannot get to the valve to turn it off
• call the fire brigade.
• direct a garden hose to the middle of the cylinder to keep it cool, however do not extingish the flame. If the gas is burning it it wont build up and explode.
• Evacuate the area.

A note on fire prevention: Most fires in outdoor bbgs are caused by a build up of greases and fat, or gas connections which have not been secured properly. Remember to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on proper cleaning and connection procedures.

INSECTS
Spiders and insects can occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes. These can obstruct gas flow which could result in a fire. This is known as “Flashback” and can cause serious damage to the bbq and create  an unsafe operating environment. Frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is recommended.

CLEANING BLOCKED BURNER VENTURI
From time to time insects or spiders may make nests inside the burner or burner venturi (Fig.17).

These blockages may cause reduced burner performance ( eg low flame), the burner may not ignite, or a fire inside the burner may occur (Fig.18).

You may also smell leaking gas as it is resticted from entering the burner.

A fire may occur here if the burner or burner venturi is blocked, disrupting the correct flow of gas inside the burner.

CLEANING A BLOCKED BURNER OR BURNER VENTURI

Step 1.
Shine a flashlight inside the burner to easily see if there are any blockages existing.

Step 2.
To clear the blockage use a thin stick such as a chicken skewer to dislodge and remove any blockage. Use the flashlight to check again to be sure that all blockages have been removed.

Step 3.
Use a small non-abrasive brush such as a toothbrush to clean the venturi mesh to be sure it is also clean and clear of blockages.

Step 4.
Check the individual ports of the burner to be sure they are not blocked. They can be easily cleaned with a wire brush.
