HOSE AND REGULATOR SAFETY
NEVER OPERATE THIS BARBECUE WITHOUT A REGULATOR.
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue are suitable for use with bottled gas ­ POL connection.
This regulator is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75 kPa for connection to a gas cylinder only. The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used. Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be those specified by the appliance manufacturer.
When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting of the flexible hose. Also, take care to avoid a loose connection with the gas cylinder. After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas and check for leaks by brushing a liquid detergent and water solution over all visible and accessible gas line connections. Include checking those connections which were made by your supplier. The presence of bubbles will indicate a gas escape. DO NOT TEST FOR GAS ESCAPES WITH AN OPEN FLAME. If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the connections, turn off the gas and contact your place of purchase immediately.
Always ensure the appliance is kept away from flammable materials and the gas cylinder clear of any heat source. When changing over from an empty gas cylinder to a full one, make sure this procedure is carried out in a flame free atmosphere.
Inspect the gas hose assembly when exchanging the gas cylinder, or at least once a year, whichever is more frequent. If the `O-Ring’ or PVC hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be operated. The complete assembly must be replaced if damaged and when statutory conditions require it. Contact your place of purchase if uncertain.

COOKING WITH THE HOOD DOWN
Cooking with the hood in the closed position helps to cook food more quickly than in conventional barbecues with a simple lid. The hood (when closed) helps to retain the heat more evenly and conserves energy.
IMPORTANT: Never use any burner or combination of burners on HI’ for extended periods when cooking with the hood down. High direct heat when the hood is down may result in burnt food, or damage to painted surfaces. When roasting in your barbecue, food should be positioned over the centre burners either on a roasting rack with the cooking pan underneath, or directly in the cooking pan, or placed in a disposable aluminium foil dish on top of a flame tamer. Although all burners may be used, it is advisable not to use the burners directly under the food being cooked as this may result in burnt and spoilt food. Remove other grill plate and hot plate not being used. The heat from the selected burners circulates gently throughout the barbecue, cooking the meat or poultry without any direct flame touching it. This method greatly reduces flare-ups when cooking extra fatty cuts, because there is no direct flame to ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking. Regulate the lit burners betweenLOW’ and MED’. Do not exceed 250°C. If the temperature exceeds 250°C with burners set atLOW’ turn some off to reduce the cooking temperature. Operating the barbecue at high temperatures may cause damage to components and surface finishes.

ROTISSERIE
NOTE: The following information is relevant whether rotisserie cooking with a back burner or using the indirect method ­ refer Cooking With The Hood Down’ on page 26. When cooking using the back burner, extra heat can be achieved by using the main burners. It is recommended to use only the outside burners on LOW’ setting. Do not exceed 250°C cooking temperature. Rotisserie is available as an optional extra from your place of purchase.
SAFETY POINTS · Do not operate damaged rotisserie. · Do not use rotisserie in poor weather conditions. · Avoid contact with hot surfaces. · Always load rotisserie to barbecue before switching motor
on. · Always turn rotisserie `OFF’ before removing from barbecue. · Do not leave rotisserie on barbecue when not in use.
LOADING THE SPIT RODS · Assemble rotisserie rod as shown. · Centre food on the spit rod. · Use butcher string to secure loose portions.
ROTISSERIE COOKING · Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist, flavoursome
and appealing. The rotating food self bastes. Although the rotisserie is best for larger pieces of meat or poultry, most cuts can be used if prepared properly. · The balancing of the food requires the most attention in rotisserie cooking. The rotisserie must turn evenly otherwise the stopping and starting action will cause the food to cook unevenly and possibly burn the heavier side. Refer to the diagram below.

· The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform shape and texture. To test if the food is balanced correctly when secured, place the ends of the rotisserie skewer loosely in the palm of your hands. Give the spit a quarter turn and if there is no tendency to roll and it is stable give it a another quarter turn. It should rest without turning in each of these positions.
It can then be attached to the barbecue.
· When using poultry, truss the bird tightly so that wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird. The cavity of the bird can be stuffed prior to this, if you wish. Pull the neck skin down and using a small skewer fix to the back of the bird. Push the rotisserie skewer through lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Centre the meat and tighten the holding forks. Test the balance as described above.
· A rolled piece of meat only requires the rotisserie skewer to be inserted through the centre of the length of meat, then secured and balanced using the forks.
· For meats which are un-boned, it is best to secure the rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections. If protruding bones or wings brown too quickly, cover with pieces of foil.
SETTING UP THE BARBECUE
· Remove all the cooking plates from the barbecue and position the flame tamer centrally. Place either an oven proof cooking pan or disposable aluminium foil dish on top of the flame tamer under the food being cooked so that it catch any drips from the food above. The drippings can be used to make gravies and other sauces to accompany the cooked meat.
· Once the barbecue has been set up, pre-heat the barbecue according to the manufacturer instructions. Close the hood when you start to cook.
· For foods with little fat you may wish to cook them directly over lit burners to give a charred effect. This should only be done towards the end of the cooking for no longer than the time required to give the desire visual effect. Do not attempt this with fatty foods as this will cause flare-ups and excessive smoke.
COOKING TIMES
· This will vary according to the type and weight of food you are cooking. However as a guide the cooking times on a rotisserie are similar to conventional oven cooking.

IF THE BARBECUE FAILS TO LIGHT
1. Turn gas off at source and turn burner control knobs to OFF’. Wait at least five (5) minutes for gas to clear, then retry. 2\. If your barbecue still fails to light, check gas supply and connections. 3\. Repeat lighting procedure. If your barbecue still fails to operate, turn the gas off at source, turn the control knobs toOFF’, then check the following:
· Misalignment of burner tubes over orifices Correction: Reposition burner tubes over orifices.
· Obstruction in gas line Correction: Remove fuel line from barbecue. Do not smoke! Open gas supply for one second to clear any obstruction from fuel line. Close off gas supply at source and reconnect fuel line to barbecue.
· Plugged orifice Correction: Remove burners from barbecue by pulling cotter pin (beneath burner) using long nose pliers. Carefully lift each burner up and away from gas valve orifice. Remove the orifice from gas valve and gently clear any obstruction with a fine wire. Then reinstall all orifices, burners, cotter pins and cooking components.
If an obstruction is suspected in gas valves or manifold, contact your place of purchase or manufacture.
· Obstruction in burner tubes Correction: Follow the burner tube cleaning procedure on page 31 of this operator’s manual.
· Misalignment of igniter on burner Correction: Check for proper position of the electrode tip as shown on page 19. The gap between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be approximately 4 – 5 mm. Adjust if necessary. With the gas supply closed and all control knobs set to `OFF’ press the electronic igniter cap and check for the presence of a spark at the electrode.
· Disconnected electronic wires Correction: Inspect the igniter junction box found behind the control panel. Connect loose electronic wires to junction box and try to light the barbecue.
· Weak AA battery Correction: Unscrew the igniter cap and replace the battery.

· SHOULD A FLASHBACK FIRE OCCUR IN OR AROUND THE BURNER TUBES, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
· SHUT OFF GAS SUPPLY TO THE GAS BARBECUE.
· TURN THE CONTROL KNOBS TO `OFF’ POSITION.
· OPEN THE BARBECUE LID. PUT OUT ANY FLAME WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER.
· ONCE THE BARBECUE HAS COOLED DOWN, CLEAN THE BURNER TUBES AND BURNERS ACCORDING TO THE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL.

DO NOT USE OVEN CLEANER TO CLEAN THE BARBECUE. SOME PROPRIETORY BARBECUE CLEANERS MAY AFFECT / DAMAGE SOME OF THE SURFACE COATINGS USED ON THE APPLIANCE. READ THE CLEANER INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO TEST IN AN INCONSPICUOUS PLACE FIRST. GENERALLY WE RECOMMEND ONLY WARM SOAPY WATER FOR CLEANING THE APPLIANCE.
IN COASTAL AREAS, FREQUENT CLEANING AND THE USE OF A COVER IS RECOMMENDED TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE APPLIANCE. SALTY AIR WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT EXPOSED PARTS.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance will keep your barbecue in top operating condition and prolong its life. Follow these cleaning procedures on a timely basis and your barbecue will stay clean and operate with minimum effort. CAUTION: Be sure your barbecue is off and cool before cleaning.
CLEANING THE COOKING PLATES
Before initial use, and periodically, wash your cooking plates in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or vegetable brush to clean your cooking plates.
It is recommended the cooking plates be coated with a thin layer of cooking oil on a regular basis to prevent rusting. Slight rusting can be removed with a scrubbing brush before use.

CLEANING THE FLAME TAMERS
Periodically you should wash the flame tamer in a soap and warm water solution. Use a vegetable brush to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the flame tamers thoroughly before you re-install them into the barbecue.
CLEANING THE GREASE TRAY AND RECEPTACLE
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease draining tray and grease receptacle should be visually inspected before each barbecue use. Remove any grease and wash grease tray and receptacle with a mild soap and warm water solution. NOTE: Grease / fat fires are not covered by warranty.
CLEANING EXTERIOR SURFACES
Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, we suggest you wash your barbecue using a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth or sponge for this process. Do not use a stiff wire or brass brush. These will scratch stainless steel and chip painted surfaces (varies by model) during the cleaning process.
CARE FOR STAINLESS STEEL
The stainless steel over time will be affected by `tea staining’ (the brown discolouration of some stainless steel).
Tea staining can be reduced by washing the surface with mild detergent and warm water. This should then be followed by rinsing with clean cold water. We recommend the surface then be wiped dry with a clean cloth.

MAINTENANCE

30

STORAGE
We recommend that you minimise the barbecue’s exposure to the elements. High moisture content in the air (rain, mist, salt spray etc.) can affect metal components and lead to material breakdown. If left in an area subjected to high moisture content, we strongly recommend that you observe the cleaning procedure on a regular basis and cover the appliance whilst not in use (covers are available as an optional extra). Material breakdown from high moisture conditions can be avoided if the appliance is well protected from the weather and regular cleaning is carried out.
ANNUAL CLEANING OF THE BARBECUE INTERIOR
Burning-off excess food after every cookout will keep it ready for instant use. However,at least every 3 months you must give the entire barbecue a thorough cleaning to minimise your risk of grease fire and keep the barbecue in top shape. Follow these steps:
1. Turn all burner valves to the full OFF’ position. 2\. Turn the LP gas cylinder valve to the fullOFF’ position.
3. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder. Inspect the hose with regulator assembly for cracking, cuts or any other damage, and replace as necessary. Refer to the separate Parts List.
4. Remove and clean the flame tamers, cooking plates and barbecue burners.
5. Cover each gas valve orifice with aluminum foil.
6. Brush the inside and bottom of the barbecue with a fibre pad or nylon brush and wash with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry.
7. Remove aluminum foil from orifices and check each orifice for obstruction.
8. Check each spark electrode, adjusting as needed. The space between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be approximately 4 – 5 mm.
9. Replace the burners and adjust the gas collector box. The edge of the collector box should be overlapping the burner port.
10. Reconnect the gas source and observe the burner flame for correct operation.
11. Replace flame tamers and cooking plates.

· BEWARE OF SPIDERS. BURNER TUBES SHOULD BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY.
· SPIDERS AND SMALL INSECTS CAN OCCASIONALLY SPIN WEBS OR MAKE NESTS IN THE BURNER TUBES. THESE WEBS CAN LEAD TO A GAS FLOW OBSTRUCTION WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE IN AND AROUND THE BURNER TUBES
· 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 OFFLASH-BACK’ IT IS THE MOST COMMON CAUSE AND FREQUENT INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF THE BURNER TUBES IS NECESSARY.
· KEEP BARBECUE AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPOURS AND LIQUIDS
· DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION.
· KEEP THE VENTILATION OPENINGS OF THE CYLINDER ENCLOSURE CABINET FREE AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS
· VISUALLY CHECK BURNER FLAMES OCCASIONALLY TO ENSURE PROPER FLAME PATTERN AS SHOWN BELOW
· FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN INJURY.

CLEANING THE BURNER TUBES AND BURNER PORTS
To reduce the chance of FLASHBACK FIRE you must clean the burner tubes as follows at least once a month in summer and fall or whenever spiders are active in your area, and if your barbecue has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Turn all burner valves to the full OFF’ position. 2\. Turn the LP gas cylinder valve to the fullOFF’ position.
3. Detach the LP gas regulator assembly from your gas barbecue.
4. Remove the cooking plates, flame tamer plates and grease trays from your barbecue.
5. Remove the screw from the rear of each burner using a Phillips-head screwdriver.
6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas valve orifice.
7. Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the barbecue.
8. Refer to diagram 1 and perform one of these three cleaning methods:
METHOD 1: Bend a stiff wire or wire coat hanger into a small hook as shown and run the hook through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove debris.

METHOD 3: Use an air hose to force air through each burner tube. The forced air should pass debris or obstructions through the burner and out the ports.
Regardless of which burner cleaning procedure you use, we recommend you also complete the following steps to help prolong burner life.
1. Use a fibre pad or nylon brush to clean the entire outer surface of each burner until free of food residue and dirt.
2. Clean any clogged ports with a stiff wire, such as an open paper clip.
3. Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner. After installation, check to ensure that the gas valve orifices are correctly placed inside the ends of the burner tubes. Also check the position of your spark electrode.
FOR SAFE OPERATION ENSURE THE GAS VALVE ASSEMBLY ORIFICE IS INSIDE THE BURNER TUBE BEFORE USING YOUR BARBECUE. See diagram. IF THE ORIFICE IS NOT INSIDE THE BURNER TUBE, LIGHTING THE BURNER MAY CAUSE EXPLOSION AND / OR FIRE RESULTING IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND / OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

METHOD 2: Use a bottle brush with a flexible handle and run the brush through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.
