GENERAL ASSEMBLY

Connecting & Disconnecting to Gas Source

IMPORTANT:

• 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.
• Check that the seals between the appliance and the gas cylinder are in place and in good condition before connecting the gas cylinder
• Do not use this appliance if it has damaged or worn seals.
• Check performance of burner prior to installing BBQ plates.

Familiarizes 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 burner controls are in the ‘OFF’ position.

Connecting

1. Ensure cylinder valve is in its full 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 to a positive stop by hand.
4. Open 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.

Refer to P13 for more detailed instructions on connecting the appliance to the cylinder.

Disconnecting

1. Ensure the burner control is in the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Ensure cylinder valve is in the full off position.
   For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the cylinder only, DO NOT disconnect hose from appliance.

Regulator Safety Feature

All QCC regulators {the part that attaches to the gas cylinder to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature 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 to 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.

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.

Control Knobs

Each tube burner is controlled by a control knob. Each control knob has a bar to show its setting. Once a burner is lit, the temperature can be set as required by setting the control knob between HIGH/ high temperature and LOW/ low temperature.

Push in the button to the left of the control knobs to switch on their LED background light. Push the button again to switch of the light.

Burner Operation & Ignition System Check

1. Open the hood of the barbecue before attempting to light the burners.
2. Turn all the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.
3. With cylinder valve in “OFF” position turn a control knob anti-clockwise to “HIGH” (a single click is heard). Check for sparking to the burner.
4. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition point, check that the ignition lead is firmly
5. the control and sparker tip.
6. With sparking established turn the cylinder valve ‘ON’.
7. Push down and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to “HIGH” again. This will light the burner. Observe if the burner has lit. If not, repeat this process.
8. If the burner fails to ignite after several attempts turn off gas supply at cylinder valve and the control knob off (clockwise). Wait five minutes before attempting to relight with ignition sequence.
9. Following successful ignition, light the remaining burners in sequence, turn control knobs anticlockwise to ‘HIGH’ starting with the burner closest to the ignition burner.
10. Adjust the heat by turning each control knob to the “HIGH”/”LOW” position.
11. To turn the barbecue ‘OFF’ turn the cylinder valve to the ‘OFF’ position, then turn the control knobs on the barbecue clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.

If re-ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue is still hot, you must wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before commencing to re-ignite (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).

IMPORTANT:

• NOTE: If for some reason, igniter fails to produce a spark at the electrode, BBQ can be lit by a long BBQ match. With hood open insert ignited match into burner lighting hole positioned on the right hand side of the BBQ body (underneath side shelf). Push and turn the far right control knob to HIGH. Burner ignition can be checked through this hole. Subsequent burners will cross light.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite BBQ.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other material.
• Always use protective gloves when handling hot components.

Side Burner

1. Lift up the hood or side burner cover (ensure it is always open when the burner is alight).
2. Push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to HIGH (a single click is heard). This will light the burner. Observe if the burner has lit. If not, repeat this process.
3. If the burner fails to light after several attempts turn the control knob to ‘OFF’ and wait a few minutes before attempting re-ignition.

MPORTANT:

The side burner is designed for use with a wok or cooking pot up to 220mm in diameter. Use of larger pots may result in discoloration of the finish.
The hood must be in the open position for lighting.
Do not smoke at any time when attempting to ignite the barbecue burners.

OPERATING PROCEDURE

Burn Off Cooking Surfaces

We recommend operating your barbecue on its highest setting for 15-20 minutes prior to first use. This aids removing the oils used during manufacturing. Allow the cooking surface to cool then we recommend seasoning it before use. Season your cooking surface by coating lightly with vegetable oil and bringing slowly up to a high temperature (do not use olive oil as this burns off at a low temperature). For best use your cooking surface should be seasoned two or three times throughout each barbecue season.

Preheating

It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least 5 minutes before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking temperature. Food that requires a low cooking temperature, needs only a period of 2-3 minutes preheating.

Cooking Temperatures

HIGH’ setting – Use this setting only for fast warm up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue from the grill plates after cooking is over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting for extended cooking.

‘MEDIUM’ setting (mid-way between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’). Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.

‘LOW’ setting – Use this setting when cooking very lean cuts such as fish.

These temperatures vary with outside temperature and the amount of wind.

When using the temperature gauge in the hood of your barbecue please note that it measures air temperature.
The air temperature inside your barbecue will never be as hot as the temperature of the cooking surface.

Roasting

For best results when roasting, the outer two burners should be used on the low to medium setting. Use of the high setting with the hood down may result in burnt food.

Remove the flat hotplate to help with heat circulation. Preheat the barbecue for a few minutes. Place a roasting rack or aluminium foil dish onto the ribbed hot plate and place the meal to be roasted onto the rack or into the dish and close the hood.

Adjust the control knob to maintain the temperature around the medium mark (approx. 200° to 230°C).

CARE & MAINTENANCE

As with all appliances, proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating condition and prolong their life. Your new gas barbecue is no exception. By following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your barbecue will be kept clean and working properly with minimum effort.

Flash-Back

If fire occurs in and around the burner, immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the burner control to OFF, wait until the barbecue has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and burner ports as described in lighting and operating procedure.

Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes during warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. Cleaning with a soft brush before use and at least every six months is recommended.

This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and can cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of ‘FLASHBACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.

Cleaning the Cast Iron Cooking Surface

We recommend opening the hood and turning all burners on to high for 15 minutes to burn-off excessive food and avoid food build-up. For further cleaning, let barbecue cool, use a wire brush to remove remaining residue, then wash the grill plates in a mild soap and hot water. A mild cream cleaner with a non-abrasive pad can be used for more stubborn residue. Rinse well, dry thoroughly and apply a coat of cooking oil. Due to the weight of the grills, it is not recommended they are cleaned in a dishwasher. Do not use cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene. If rust appears during storage, clean with a soft wire brush, wash in hot soapy water, dry, re-oil and cure.

Care of Cooking Surface

Use and care of the cooking surface is important. Do not use pans on the cooking surface. Do not overheat the cooking surface with the hood down or no food on the cooking surface.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

To avoid fat or grease dripping from the barbecue remove and empty the drip tray after each use. Wait until the drip tray is cool to touch before disposing of contents.
The drip tray should be washed periodically in a mild detergent and hot water solution. Cleaning Plastic surfaces

Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a concentrated appliance cleaner on plastic parts, as this can result in damage and/or failure of the parts.

Cleaning Porcelain surfaces

Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains.

Cleaning Painted surfaces

Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

Cleaning Stainless steel surfaces

To maintain your appliance’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

1. Make sure the barbecue is cool.

2. Remove cooking grills, hotplate and flame tamers.

3. Remove the burner by taking off the R-clip from the rear end of the burner.

4. Lift the burner up and away from gas valve orifice.

5. Clean the inlet of burner with small bottle brush or compressed air.

6. Remove all food residue and dirt on the outside of the burner surface.

7. Clean any clogged ports with a piece of stiff wire (such as an opened paper clip).

8. Inspect the burner for any damage (cracks or holes),
   If damage is found, replace with a new burner.
   Reinstall the burner, check to ensure that gas valve orifices are correctly positioned inside burner inlet.

9. Overlap 15mm between tube and nozzle when assembled.

10. Keep the center line of tube and nozzle on one line.
    
    WARNING: If the instructions above are not followed, an explosion may result, possibly causing serious bodily injury or death

Adjust the Air Shutter

The adjustable air shutter controls the amount of air intake in the gas inlet. To adjust the air shutter.

1. Make sure the barbecue is cool.
2.  Remove cooking grills, hotplate and flame tamers.
3. Access the burner that is not burning correctly.
4. Turn the adjustable air shutter clockwise to reduce the amount of air in the gas inlet, this will turn an orange flame into a cleaner burning blue flame.

DO NOT OVER CLEAN, AS THIS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE OF THE METAL AND CAN VOID THE WARRANTY.

Storing the appliance

If the appliance needs to be stored for a prolonged period of time (e.g. over winter):

1. Set control knobs to off (red bar pointing upwards).
2. Close valve at the gas cylinder.
3. Remove the gas cylinder from the appliance, by unscrewing the gas hose.
4. Carefully clean the appliance.
5. The appliance can be stored in a dry location indoors (e.g. garage)
6. The gas cylinder needs to be stored outdoors in a dry and well-ventilated location and out of reach of children!
7. Cover the appliance.
   When removing the appliance from storage check for burner obstructions.

IMPORTANT:

• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
• This appliance must only be serviced by an authorized person.
• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended that the drip tray be checked and emptied regularly.
