ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USE CHECK FOR LEAKS
After the connection is made between hose assembly and BBQ valve, a leak test must be performed before the BBQ can be operated to check the connections are gas-tight.
Never check for leaks with a naked flame, always use a soapy water solution TO CHECK FOR LEAKS
Make 1 cup of leak detecting solution by mixing one part washing up liquid with 3 parts water.
Ensure the control value is “OFF”.
Connect the regulator to the cylinder ensuring that the connections are secure then turn ON the gas.
Brush the soapy solution onto the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you have a leak, which must be rectified by tightening the connections before use.
Retest after fixing the fault
Turn OFF the gas at the cylinder after testing.
If leakage is detected and cannot be rectified, consult your gas dealer.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Connecting & Disconnecting to Gas Source
IMPORTANT: Before connecting and disconnecting barbecue to gas source, make sure burner controls are in ‘OFF’ position.
CAUTION: When the barbecue is not in use, the gas must be turned off at the cylinder.
Familiarize yourself with the general information and safety guidelines located at the front of this manual.
Check:

1. The cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be heard when shaken.
2. The BBQ control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position.

Connecting

1. Ensure cylinder valve is in off position.
2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder connection or the hose. NEVER attempt to use damaged equipment.
3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the nut on the regulator to the cylinder valve by hand.
4. Slowly and smoothly open the cylinder valve fully. If a leak can be heard at either end of the hose turn cylinder off and tighten joint. Wait 5 minutes before re-testing and use a soapy water solution to check the joint. If bubbles appear the connection will need to be re-tightened.

Disconnecting

1. Ensure the BBQ control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Ensure cylinder valve is in the ‘OFF’ position.

For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the cylinder only. DO NOT disconnect hose from appliance.
IMPORTANT: The appliance control knob must be in the ‘OFF’ position before opening the cylinder valve.
Regulator Safety Feature
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas cylinder to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature called an Excess Flow Valve included that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas using the barbecue control knob before you turn on the gas cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates, the barbecue will operate with reduced output as gas flow is restricted.
These steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator safety device:

1. Ensure the barbecue hood is open.

2. Turn gas cylinder valve off

3. Turn off all control knobs.

4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.

5. Wait 30 seconds.

6. Reconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.

7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
   Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.

8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve all the way. Do not put excessive force on the valve at the full open position, to avoid damaging the valve.

9. Light barbecue as per the instructions provided.

Operation
Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the GENERAL INFORMATION section of this manual.
The regulator supplied with this BBQ is equipped with a safety mechanism called an Excess flow Valve. To avoid tripping this device, which will prevent full gas requirement reaching the BBQ, it is vital that the following actions are taken prior to igniting the BBQ.
Prior to opening the gas cylinder valve make sure all BBQ control valves are in the “OFF” position.
Next open the gas cylinder valve opening the first half turn slowly and smoothly before opening the gas valve fully.
Preparation before cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking surface please us a long handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking oil or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session.
Line the drip tray with aluminum foil then place a uniform layer of clean dry sand or non-flammable kitty litter 1cm deep into the tray. This will absorb excess cooking fat making clean ups easier.
Lighting Procedure
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time, read the instructions fully to ensure the barbecue is assembled correctly and is ready for use. Remove all point-of-sale material from the barbecue.
IMPORTANT: The appliance control knob must be in the ‘OFF’ position before opening the cylinder valve.
Lighting the Barbecue Main Burners

• Open the barbecue hood before lighting. Never light your barbecue with hood closed.

• VERY IMPORTANT: Always ensure all BBQ control knobs are in the “OFF” position before slowly and smoothly opening the gas control valve on the LPG cylinder.

• The ignitor is built in to the valve, To ignite each burner simply push and turn the desired control knob anti-clockwise to the high position. You will hear the valve click as it sends a spark to the pilot flame. The pilot flew will ignite and send a long flame down the side of the BBQ burner to ignite it.

• Repeat this process to ignite the remaining burners as required.

• If burner fails to ignite after following the procedure above; turn all the BBQ control knobs to OFF position.
  Close the LPG cylinder valve. Wait 5 minutes. Re-attempt all of the above. steps. If the BBQ still fails to light, please refer to the Manual Lighting Instructions.

• Confirm each burner is alight before attempting to light another burner.

• After ignition, turn the burners to the high position for 3-5 minutes in order to per-heat the BBQ. This should be done before each cooking session.
  ALWAYS REMEMBER TO NEVER LEAVE THE BBQ UNATTENDED WHEN IN OPERATION.

• After completion of preheating, turn the burners to the low position for best cooking results.

Manual Lighting Instructions

• Open the barbecue hood before lighting. Never light your barbecue with hood closed.
• VERY IMPORTANT: Always ensure all BBQ control knobs are in the “OFF” position before slowly and smoothly opening the gas control valve on the LPG cylinder.
• Insert lit match through the match lighting hole on the left or right side of the barbecue and place near left or rightmost burner.
• Push and turn the applicable control knob anti-clockwise to high position. The burner should light with 5 seconds.
• When the burner is lit, turn the remaining burners on one-by-one from left to right or right to left.
• If for some reason the ignitor fails to produce a spark at the electrode, the side burner can be manually lit.
• Lift open the side burner cover.
• VERY IMPORTANT: Always ensure all BBQ control knobs are in the “OFF” position before slowly and smoothly opening the gas control valve on the LPG cylinder.
• Strike and carefully place a match approximately 1-2cm from the burner.
• Push and turn the side burner control knob anti-clockwise to the high position. The side burner should ignite within 5 seconds.
• If the burner does not light after 5 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF position and wait a few minutes for the gas to dissipate before repeating the above procedure to re-ignite.
• If the side burner does not light with the first few attempts of match lighting, there is a problem with the gas supply. Turn off the gas at the burner and LPG cylinder. DO NOT attempt to operate the grill until the problem is found and corrected. See  Trouble Shooting” section at the rear of this manual for extra help.

Grill Cooking
The burners heat up the flame tamers underneath the grill, which in turn heat the food on the grill. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot flame tamer below and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique barbecued flavor.
Plate Cooking
The burners heat the plate directly, which then cooks the food on contact. Plates allow for the cooking of smaller items, such as seafood, which could fall through the spaces of a grill. They are also suitable for cooking times that require high-temperature / short-duration cooking, such as vegetables and smaller cuts of fish. Similarly, it can be used in exactly the same way as a griddle in the kitchen, for searing steaks, cooking eggs, etc. Alternatively, it can be used for heating pans or keeping food warm.
Roasting Hood Cooking
Barbecue equipped with a roasting hood give the option to form an ‘oven’ for roasting or baking food, such as joints of meat or whole chickens, etc. More even cooking of food will actually be achieved by using the barbecue with the hood down. However, this should only be done with the burners on low.
For best results, place the food you wish to bake or roast on a metal baking tray and set it on one side of the cooking grill.
Turn the burner directly under the food to the OFF position and turn all other burners to a LOW to MEDIUM position.
Close the hood to cook the food ‘indirectly’. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is lost every time the hood is opened. If the hood is opened during cooking please allow extra time for the barbecue to regain its temperature and complete the cooking. Use the temperature gauge (if applicable) to monitor the heat of the barbecue.
If the internal heat becomes too high, turn the burners down to the low position. It is not necessary or advisable to have all of the burners on high when the hood is closed.
DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT. Take care when opening the hood as steam can be released on opening.
Warming Rack
Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread rolls. It is advisable to place food (particularly fatty foods) to the front of the warming rack to avoid the possibility of juices and fat running down the back of your barbecue. Always check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use.
When refitting the burners , be careful to check that the neck of the burner fits over the valve outlet.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present on the burners. I rust appears between uses or in storage, clean with a soft brass wire brush.
Flame Tamers
Remove any food residue from the flame tamer surface with a plastic or wooden scraper or brass wire brush. Do not use a steel scraper or wire brush. Clean with hot soapy water and rinse well.
Drip Tray
After every use empty and clean the drip tray (and foil liner, if applicable) of any fat particles, using a plastic or wooden scraper if necessary.
Failure to keep it clean and excessive build up can result in a fat fire. This can be hazardous and severely damage the barbecue. This is not a fault in the barbecue and is there fore not covered be the terms of the warranty. If required, the tray can be washed in hot soapy water.
Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body using a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Excess fat and food debris can be removed from inside the body using a soft plastic or wooden scraper.
It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. If you need to clean fully, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Do not use abrasives. Remove cooking surfaces and burners before full cleaning. Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully refitting into body.
Barbecue Hood and Control Panel
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad and clean with hot, soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or powders as they can permanently damage the finish. Pay particular attention to the section called “Care and Protection of Stainless Steel Surfaces”.
Fixings
All screws and bolts etc. should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.
Storage
Ensure the barbecue is properly cooled before covering or storing. Store your barbecue in a cool dry place.
Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from collecting in the burner holes.
If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas bottle should always be stored outside, in a dry well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children tamper with the bottle.
When using the barbecue after extended periods of storage follow the cleaning procedures.

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CARE AND PROTECTION OF STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
Your BBQ features Stainless Steel components, using moderate grade stainless steels.
All Stainless Steel grades require a level of care and protection to retain their appearance. Stainless Steels are not immune to corrosion and neither are they maintenance-free, contrary to popular public perception.
Even the highest marine grades of Stainless Steel require frequent cleaning with fresh water to avoid oxidation and other corrosive issues.
Modern tastes dictate that your BBQ features Stainless Steel with a brushed finish. This brushed finish is attained by running Stainless Steel sheets through an abrasive process that removes the mirror finish and leaves the brushed finish. Brushed-finish Stainless Steel requires frequent cleaning and care, to maintain its quality of appearance.
Without adequate care it is realistic to expect that it will show signs of corrosion in time.
Stainless Steel is definitely not a maintenance-free material. Cleanliness and stainless Steel are closely related.
After assembly, we recommend that owners apply a thin layer of Olive Oil with a clean cloth, to all exposed Stainless Steel areas. This should then be polished in and buffed off with another clean cloth to a non-oily finish. This process will aid protection against dirt and other corrosive contaminants, by providing a temporary food-safe shield.
The Olive Oil layer also makes later polishing and removal of fingerprints easier. This process should be repeated frequently when cleaning your grill.
You may have bought a protective cover for your BBQ. It is recommended that a BBQ cover should be used at all times when the BBQ is not in use to protect your investment.
However it is vital to understand that unless the BBQ is cool, clean and dry when the cover is fitted, use of a cover can in fact be detrimental. A cover placed on a warm, wet or unclean BBQ (or any mix of these factors) can in fact be a very effective corrosion breeder!
For this reason, the BBQ should always be cool, cleaned of any surface contaminants or dirt and be thoroughly dry before a protective cover is fitted. This is especially important before a BBQ is stored for any length of time i.e. if the BBQ doesn’t get frequent use, or when the BBQ is stored away over winter months.
In order to maintain the quality of the finish of your Stainless Steel BBQ, the owner must be vigilant with care and maintenance according to this advice
Look after your investment carefully and it will serve you well for many years to come.
