LEAK TESTS
IMPORTANT – PERFORM LEAK TESTS BEFORE USE
Always leak test the unit – annually, when dismantled, when parts are replaced, or if the gas cylinder is removed or replaced.

• Never use an open flame to check for leaks at any time. DO NOT IGNITE THE BARBECUE DURING LEAK TESTING.
• To be performed in a well-ventilated area.
• Be sure all control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position.
• Check for leaks by brushing a solution of 1/2 water and 1/2 soap over all the gas system joints, including ball valve connections, hose connections, and regulator connections.
• Ensure the soap solution has been applied to all connections – connect the regulator to the gas cylinder, open the gas control valve on the regulator allowing gas to flow.
• OBSERVE – if bubbles form over any part of the joints there is a leak.
• Turn off the gas and tighten all joints
• Repeat test. If bubbles form again, do not use the barbecue. Please contact your local dealer for assistance.

GAS AND REGULATOR INSTRUCTIONS

• The cylinder should be positioned underneath the main barbecue body and stored upright.
• Gas cylinders should never be stored or laid on their side.

User instructions
Before assembling your barbecue, remove all protective packaging from each part.
The gas cylinder must have a connection compatible with the regulator supplied with the barbecue and have a minimum capacity of 4kg / 9lbs, with maximum dimensions of 32cmx58cm.
See assembly instructions for cylinder position.

Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near this appliance.

Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
Failure to follow these instructions exactly may result in a fire causing serious injury or death.

Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.

Connecting to the Cylinder

• Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position.

• Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder according to the instructions below and the instructions from the gas cylinder supplier.

Read carefully before use

Tabel (A)

1 INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• TYPE 694 is a domestic regulator used to supply gas to utilities at specific pressure and flow, as indicated on the label (2).
• Make sure the regulator inlet and outlet are compatible with the cylinder and the appliance being used.
• The gas cylinder must always be kept in vertical position. Do not move the cylinder during the operation. When the device is used outdoors, it shall be positioned or protected against direct penetration by any tracking water.
• TYPE 694 versions featuring a release valve (the marking “PRV” is visible on the label (2)) are generally not type-approved for use in closed premises (see local laws on the subject).
• TYPE 694 operating temperature range is 0/+50°C for Butane and -20/+50°C for Propane and LPG.
• Never look for gas leaks with a live flame. Use instead a solution of water and soap.
• In the event of any faults being found, close the gas supply and immediately contact your gas supplier.
• Avoid that the hole on the cover (VENT) is obstructed or stopped (9).
• This regulator is not for use in caravans and motor caravans.
• For permanent use outside the house, install the regulator in a position protected from the weather, paying great attention to the position of the vent hole (9).

2 FITTING THE RUBBER HOSE (fig.1)

• Connect the end of the hose (4) to the regulator outlet, if necessary with the aid of soapy water. Fasten the hose using clamps (8). Do not over-tighten to prevent damaging the hose (in some countries, the hose clamps and the hose are of standards dimensions.

3 FITTING THE REGULATOR ON THE VALVE

• Ensure the cylinder valve is closed (7). Remove plastic bung (6) if present.
• Before fitting the regulator to the cylinder, fit the tubing (4) ensuring that the nozzle (3) is completely covered and held firmly by a hose clip (8): make sure that all valves and appliances are turned off.
• Check all connections and ensure that they are free from dirt and undamaged.
• When required, check that the gasket is present and that is in good condition.
• The regulator should be supported and the connection (1) fitted to the cylinder valve outlet and tightened with a spanner.

4 GAS LEAKS

All gas leaks, however small, are dangerous and must be eliminated. Escaping gas can normally be traced by smell or sound but liquid detergent should be brushed over the area to confirm the location of the leak. NEVER look for a leak with a naked flame.

On cylinders, if a leak is suspected, turn off gas supply immediately, and extinguish any standing pilot lights or naked flames. Ventilate the room if possible. If the cylinder is indoors, move the cylinder outdoors to a safe place, and call your dealer for advice.

5 EXCESS FLOW VALVE(EFV)

TYPE 694 can be equipped with a safety device “excess flow valve” designed to stop gas escaping in case of accidental detachment or breakage of the rubber hose used to supply gas to the user appliance. The marking “excess flow” on the label (2) shows the presence of this device on TYPE 694.

The flow limiting device should operate as follows:

1. In the event of the hose moving from its correct position:
   • Close the cylinder valve,
   • Fit the hose correctly back on the regulator hose connection.
   • Open the cylinder valve
   • Wait at least 20 seconds before opening the application again.

2. In case of the flow of gas is higher than the capacity of the regulator, contact your gas supplier.
   To ensure the correct operation of the flow limiting device during gas supply, the appliance’s hose length should be 1.5m at maximum. In normal conditions of use, in order to ensure the correct operation of the installation, it is recommended that this regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture. 10 years is a recommendation which may be replaced by national rules or code of practice.

IMPORTANT: Never leave the regulator connected to the cylinder valve when the rubber hose is not correctly fitted in its housing as the flow limiting device has not been designed to guarantee the gas supply shut-off function.

The product must never be tampered with or dismantled; any such procedures lead to forfeiture of warranty cover on the product and the manufacturer declines all consequent responsibility.

User instructions
Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the WARNING statements in this manual.

• Preparation before cooking – To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking grill, please use a long-handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session.
• Note: When cooking with your barbecue for the first time, the paint on the outside of the barbecue may change color slightly as a result of high temperatures. This is normal and should be expected.

Lighting the barbecue

•  Open the barbecue hood (2).

• Ensure all knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position (7).

• Unscrew ignition button (8) and insert AA battery, positive end facing outwards. Screw ignition button (8) back into place. Open the barbecue hood (2) and turn on the gas supply at the gas cylinder.

• Turn burner control knob (7) to position

• Press and hold the ignition button (8) to ignite the burner flames. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner control knob (7) to OFF, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure.

• In windy conditions, shield from wind to ensure easy lighting.

• Once ignition has occurred, turn the control knob (7) to lower or raise the heat as required.

• After ignition, the burners should be burned at a high position for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat the barbecue. This process should be done before every cooking session. IMPORTANT
  – The hood should be open during preheating.

• After completion of preheating, turn burners to a low position and cook with the hood in the down position for best cooking results.

Manual lighting instructions

• Remove the cooking grill (4), griddle plate (13), and vapor bar (5) from the barbecue.
• Place a lit match beside the burner (6) (at the same location as the sparker shield).
• Push and turn the rightmost control knob (7) anti-clockwise to the high position.
• After successful lighting, light each burner from left to right as desired.

Grill Cooking
The vapor bar evenly distributes the burner flame across the cooking grill area. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot vapor bar below and vaporize. Even cooking of food will be achieved by using the barbecue with the hood down. This should only be done with the burner on low.

Flare-Up Control
IMPORTANT – FLARE-UPS CAN OCCUR FROM RESIDUE FAT AND JUICES DRIPPING ONTO THE BURNERS AND HOT VAPOUR BAR. To reduce this, regularly clean the burners and vapor bar. To control flare-ups, it is advisable to trim away excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. The burners should always be placed on the low setting during cooking. Always protect your hands when handling anything near the cooking surface of the barbecue.

Covered cooking
Keep the hood closed when you grill to ensure the heat circulates evenly. With the hood closed, the gas barbeque cooks much like a convection oven. The thermometer in the hood shows what the cooking temperature is inside the barbecue so you don’t have to lift the hood. Avoid lifting the hood to look inside during the cooking process – heat will be lost.

End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the ‘HIGH’ position and burn for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off the cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.

Turning Off Your Barbecue
Push the control knob (7) in and turn to the ‘OFF’ position.
Turn the gas off and disconnect at the cylinder when not in use.
The regulator must be disconnected when the barbecue is not in use. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing the hood.

• Rinse well and dry thoroughly.

Burner (6) Maintenance

• In normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burners clean.

• The burners should be cleaned annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes or the venturi tubes of the burners fitted over the valve outlets. A blocked burner can lead to a fire beneath the grill.

• Visually inspect the operation of the burners. See the figure below showing the correct burning. There should be flame from all portholes.

Vapour Bar (5)

• Clean the vapor bar with soap and warm water using a low abrasive cleaning cloth or sponge!

• Remove cooking surfaces and burners before full cleaning.
• Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold in
• Check burner operation after carefully refitting into the body.

Fixings

• All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a regular basis.

STORAGE

Do not leave your barbecue uncovered when not in use. Store your barbecue in a cool dry place like a shed or garage when not in use to protect against the effects of extreme weather conditions, particularly if you live near coastal areas.

Prolonged exposure to sunlight, standing water, and sea air/saltwater can all cause damage to your appliance. (A cover may not be sufficient to protect your appliance in some of these situations).

• Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from collecting in burner holes.
• If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas cylinder must be disconnected and left outside.
• The gas cylinder 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 cylinder.
• Always inspect the hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use.
• If the hose is damaged or there is excessive abrasion or wear or the hose is cut, it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use with LPG and meet the national standards for the country of use and must be as specified by the manufacturer. The length of the hose shall not exceed 1.5m.
