OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Setting Up
Set grill up on solid, flat surface with adequate wind shelter. Keep grill at least 0.5m from nearest wall.
Protect LP cylinder from direct sunlight and keep away from heat sources (max. 50° C). Do not move grill while hot, and do not leave unattended during operation.
Position gas cylinder next to device such that hose is not bent, twisted, subject to tension, or touching any hot parts of appliance. DO NOT place gas cylinder directly under burners.
Regulator and Hose
These items are supplied with the appliance, but replacements are available from your equipment retailer or an authorized LP gas supplier. Use only regulators and hose approved for LP Gas at the above pressures. The life expectancy of the regulator is estimated as 10 years. It is recommended that the regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture.
The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before operating the appliance.
The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. Worn or damaged hose must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any part of the barbecue other than at its connection.
Connecting the Hose to the Appliance
Before connection, ensure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, regulator, burner, and burner ports. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner/venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
Clean burner holes with a heavy-duty pipe cleaner.
If the hose is replaced it must be secured to the appliance and regulator connections with hose clips.
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder (according to the directions supplied with the regulator) when the appliance is not in use.
The appliance must be used in a well ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air to the burner when in use. ONLY USE THIS APPLIANCE OUTDOORS.
Connecting the Gas Cylinder to the Grill
This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas or LPG mixtures, fitted

BEFORE USE CHECK FOR LEAKS

Never check for leaks with a naked eye. Always use a soapy water solution.
NOTE: Before starting the grill, check for leaks. Make sure the regulator valve is securely fastened to the burner and the cylinder to prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak.
Always perform the “Leak Test” as described below before lighting the grill or each time the cylinder is connected for use.

• Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
• Conduct leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
• Do not use grill until any and all leaks are corrected. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the propane supply. Call a gas appliance serviceman or your local propane gas supplier.

Leak Test

1. Mix 6 – 9ml. of solution, 1 part dishwashing soap, 3 parts water.
2. Ensure control valve is closed.
3. Connect regulator to cylinder and valve to burner. Ensure connections are secure before turning on gas.
4. Retest after fixing leak.
5. Turn gas off after testing.

Lighting Instructions
Always open hood while igniting grill. If grill does not light, always wait 5 minutes for gas to clear before relighting. Failure to do either may result in an explosive flare-up, which can cause serious bodily injury or death. Once lit, but before cooking on grill for first time, let grill sit for 15 minutes with hood closed. This heat cleans grill’s internal parts from anything they may have come into contact with during manufacturing and shipping.

SMOKING RECIPES
Indirect Heat

Pan not included. Disposable bread pan is recommended. SMOKE BY COOKING SLOWLY (See chart above).

1. Place water/drip pan on left side of fire grate.
2. Place hot coals on right side (damper end) of fire grate. The charcoal basket accessory helps confine coals to one side.
3. Place meat above water pan.
4. Place fire grate in low position.
5. Close lid & control heat with dampers & adjustable grate.

• You may want to sear certain foods before smoking by placing meat directly above coals with LID open and FIRE GRATE in high (hot) position for several minutes. Add flavor soaked wood chips to the fire and add 1 part marinade, beer, or wine to 3 parts water to the drip pan.
• OPENING THE SMOKING CHAMBER WILL EXTEND COOKING TIME. Cooking with meat thermometer ensures food is fully cooked. Insert thermometer into thickest part not touching bone, and allow five minutes to register. Internal temperature for birds should be 170°F to 180°F or when leg moves easily in joint. Meat should be cooked to internal temperature of 140°F for rate, 160°F for medium and 170°F for well done. Check the water level when cooking more than 4 hours or when you can’t hear the water simmering. Add water by moving meat over and pouring water through GRILL into WATER PAN.
• IF THE SMOKE IS WHITE, THE FIRE’S RIGHT. IF THE SMOKE IS BLACK, ADD SOME DRAFT.
