Safety and Care Advice For Gas Cylinder
Gas and Regulator
- This barbecue can use either propane or butane or propane/ butane mixed LPG (liquid petroleum gas) bottled gas. Propane bottles, will supply gas all year round, even on cold winter days. Butane bottles will supply sufficient gas in summer, but it may affect the performance of the barbecue and restrict the heat output available from the burners, particularly once the gas temperature starts to fall below +1 o·c. A spanner may be required to change gas bottles.
- The hose should hang freely with no bends, twisting, tension, folds, or kinks that could obstruct free flow of gas. Always inspect the hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use.
- Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot barbecue parts. If the hose shows any sign of damage it must be replaced with a hose suitable for use with LP gas which meets the national standards for the country of use.
- A suitable hose must comply with EN16436-1, and the length should not exceed 1.5 metres.
- For optimal performance, we suggest to use a 5-15kg gas bottle. The maximum dimension of the gas bottle is dia. 31.5cm and height 58cm.
Never mount the gas bottle under the barbecue on the base shelf as this could result in serious injury to the user, other people and/or property. Always place the gas bottle at the side of the appliance. The gas bottle should be sited as far away from the appliance as possible without straining the hose. This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas and fitted with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured to the regulator and the appliance with hose clips/nut. This barbecue is set to operate a 28-30 mbar regulator with butane gas or a 37mbar regulator with propane gas. Use a suitable regulator certified to EN16129. Please consult your LPG dealer for information regarding a suitable regulator for the gas cylinder.
- Max 9″ side cooker is allowed for this appliance.
INSTALLATION
Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should be placed in a well-
ventilated area, and on a safe and even surface. Never place your barbecue
below ground level. Take care to ensure that the barbecue must be used on an
incombustible floor. The sides of the barbecue should NEVER be closer than 1
metre from any combustible surface, including trees and fences and make sure
that there are no heat sources near the barbecue (cigarettes, open flames,
spark etc.). Keep this barbecue away from any flammable materials!
Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the barbecue body. Position the gas bottle on level ground next to the barbecue and safely away from any source of heat. Should you need to install or change the gas bottle, confirm that the barbecue is switched off, and that there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near before proceeding.
Fixing a Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off position. Connect the
regulator to the gas bottle according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s
instructions.
Leak Testing
(Always perform a leak test in a well-ventilated area) Confirm all
control knobs are in the off position. Tum the gas on I open the gas control
valve on the gas bottle or regulator. Check for leaks by brushing a solution
of Y. water and Y. liquid detergent I soap over all the gas system joints,
including gas bottle valve connections, hose connections, and regulator
connections. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at any time. If bubbles
form over any of the joints there is a leak. Tum off the gas supply at the gas
bottle. Retighten all joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form again do not use
the barbecue and contact your local distributor for assistance. Always wipe
the mixed solution (Y. water and Y. liquid detergent I soap) from all joints
and connections after leak testing.
OPERATION
Warning
- Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION section of this manual.
- Your barbecue is not designed to be used with more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid plate -this includes baking dishes. Full coverage will cause excessive build-up of heat and damage the barbecue.
This is not covered by warranty.
Preparation Before Cooking
- To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking surface, please use a long handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session. (Note: When cooking for the first time, paint colours may change slightly as a result. This is normal and should be expected.) During use, the protective coating may come off the cooking surface. This is normal an is not harmful. Line the drip pan with aluminum foil. This will make cleanup easy.
Lighting the Main Burner
- The lid must be open before lighting.
- Set all knobs to “Off”.
- Open the gas bottle valve according to operating instruction. Push in and tum the middle burner knob anti-<:lockwise until it reaches the ignition sign and a click sound is heard.
- Then push in and tum the left or the right knob same way until the burner is lit.
- If the burner does not light, tum all knobs “Off” and repeat Step 4 and 5 after 5minutes.
Lighting the Side Burner
-
Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise to “Max” position. If the burner does not light,
turn the knob “Off”, and repeat process 1. -
Adjust burner control knob for desire cooking setting.
Application
Grill Cooking
The burners heat up the flame tamer underneath the grill, which in tum heats
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.
Roasting Hood Cooking
Barbecues 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 tum 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, tum 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 hot steam can be released on opening.
**Flare-Up Control “Very Important Notice***
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fat and juices fall upon the
hot flame tamer. Smoke of course helps give food its barbecued flavour, but it
is best to avoid excessive flare-up to prevent food being burned. To control
flare-ups, it is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL to trim away excess fat from meat and
poultry before grilling, use cooking sauces and marinades sparingly and try to
avoid very cheap cuts of meat or meat products as these tend to have a high
fat and water content. Also, the burners should always be placed on the low
setting during cooking.
When flare-ups do occur, they can usually be extinguished by applying baking soda or salt directly onto the flame tamer. Always protect your hands when handling anything near the cooking surface of the barbecue and take care to protect yourself from the flames.
If a fat fire occurs, please see the instructions given below.
Fat Fires
Empty and clean the drip tray, of food debris after each cooking session. If
the barbecue is to be used for large gatherings, it will be necessary to turn
off and cool the barbecue every two hours to remove food debris from the drip
tray, and clean it out. The time between cleaning may need to be reduced if
very fatty foods or cheap meat products are being cooked. Failure to do this
may result in a fat fire, which may cause injury and could seriously damage
the barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
If safe to do so, tum all control knobs to the ‘off position.
Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle.
Keep everyone at a safe distance from the barbecue and wait until the fire has
burnt out.
Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED, IT SHOULD BE A
POWDER TYPE.
DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY.
If the fire does not seem to be abating or appears to be worsening, contact
your local Fire Brigade for assistance.
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 cooking residue, thus
making cleaning easier. Make sure the hood is open during this process.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have finished using your barbecue, turn all the control valves fully
clockwise to the “Off’ position, then switch off the gas supply at the bottle.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing the hood or lid.
Care and Maintenance
Flame Tamer
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 of any fat or food
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 therefore not covered by 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.
A stainless steel cleaner may be used on stainless steel parts if required.
Whenever a barbecue is being assembled for the first time or its burners are
being cleaned, make sure each gas valve tip goes into the burner venturi tube
completely during the assemble or re-assemble process.
Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and especially after extended
periods of storage. Ensure the barbecue and its components are sufficiently
cool before cleaning. Do not leave the barbecue exposed to outside weather
conditions or stored in damp, moist areas.
Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot.
Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition of your barbecue, we
strongly recommend that the unit be covered when left outside for any length
of time, especially during the winter months . Even when your barbecue is
covered for its protection, it must be inspected on a regular basis as damp or
condensation can form which may result in damage to the barbecue. It may be
necessary to dry the barbecue and the inside of the cover. It is possible for
mould to grow on any fat remaining on parts of the barbecue. This should be
cleaned off smooth surfaces with hot soapy water.
Any rust that is found that does not come into contact with the food should be treated with a rust inhibitor and painted with barbecue paint or a heat resistant paint. A chrome cleaner may be used on chrome parts if required. To prevent rusting, wipe chrome plated parts with cooking oil after rinsing and drying.
Cooking Surfaces
When the barbecue has cooled, clean with hot soapy water. To remove any food
residue, use a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad. Do not use scouring
pads or powders as they can permanently damage the finish. Rinse well and dry
thoroughly. Due to the weight of the cooking surfaces, we do not recommend
cleaning in a dishwasher.
It is quite normal for surface rust to be present on the cooking surface. If
rust appears between uses or in storage, clean with a soft brass wire brush.
Be careful not to damage the cooking surface, re-oil and cure.
Burner
Provided that they are operating correctly, in normal usage, burning off the
residue after cooking will keep the burners clean.
The burners should be removed and 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 primary air inlet of the burners. Use a
pipe cleaner to clear obstructions.
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. If rust appears between uses or in storage, clean with a soft
brass wire brush.
Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Barbecue Hood or Lid
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.
Trolley
Wipe with a cloth wrung out in hot soapy water and dry.
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. It must be inspected on a regular basis as damp
or condensation can form which may result in damage to the barbecue. It may be
necessary to dry the barbecue and the inside of the cover if used. Mould can
grow under these conditions and should be cleaned and treated if required. Any
rust that is found that does not come into contact with the food should be
treated with a rust inhibitor and painted with barbecue paint or a heat
resistant paint.
Cooking grills should be coated with cooking oil.
Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other
debris from obstructing 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.
