GAS LEAK TESTING

It is important that you leak test the BBQ before first use and every time the gas cylinder is refilled and reconnected to the BBQ.

To Complete Leak Test

• Make sure all the control knobs are OFF.

• In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent/soap.
  Mix the solution well (about the same concentrate as washing up water).

• Turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob to open position.

• Using a brush or spray bottle apply the soap solution to the gas line and each join in the gas line including:

  • the gas connection at the inlet of the BBQ
  • all gas hose connections
  • the gas connection at the gas cylinder

• If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak.

• If the leak is at the connection, re-tighten and re-seal.

• If the leak is anywhere else or you cannot resolve the leak by tightening the connection DO NOT PROCEED.

• Replace gas hose and regulator.

• Replacement hose and regulators can be purchased from your local BBQ retail specialist.

1. Add soap and water to spray bottle or soapy water with brush.
   

2. Turn off gas valves.

3. Turn gas cylinder on.
   

4. Spray or apply soapy water on gas connections.
   

5. If leak is present, bubbles will appear.

Hose & Regulator Safety

The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue are suitable for Propane Gas.

A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75kPa is supplied for connection to the propane gas cylinder. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue must be used. Replacement pressure regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the barbecue manufacturer.

When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting of the flexible hose.

After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas and check for leaks by brushing a soap and water solution over all connections. If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the connections, turn off the gas and contact the supplier immediately.

Always ensure the barbecue 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 well ventilated location, preferably outside, away from people and away from any sources of ignition; such as naked flames, pilot flames, electric heaters/equipment.

Gas Cylinder Use & Safety

This is a low pressure barbecue and must only be used with the regulator supplied. Your barbecue is designed for use with 4.5Kg or 9Kg propane gas cylinders certified to AS 2469.

The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable gas supplier and visually inspected and requalified at each filling.

Always keep cylinder in an upright position. Always close the cylinder valve when the barbecue is not in use.

Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat.

NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER INDOORS.

If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS disconnect the gas cylinder first and store the cylinder safely outside.

Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area out of reach of children, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

Check the cylinder collar to ensure the test date status is current (10 years from date stamp).

PARTS LIST

GENERAL INFORMATION

CONNECTING & DISCONNECTING TO GAS SOURCE

Familiarise yourself with the general information and safety guidelines located at the front of this manual.

Check

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

Connecting

1. Ensure valve is in OFF position.
2. Check for any damage to the cylinder connection.
3. Attach the regulator to the cylinder valve.
4. Use a soapy water solution to check the joint.
   If bubbles appear the connection will need to be re-tightened.

IMPORTANT

1. IMPORTANT: Before connecting and disconnecting barbecue to gas source, make sure burner controls are in ‘OFF’ position.
2. CAUTION: When the barbecue is not in use, the gas cylinder must be disconnected.
3. Check that the seals between the appliance and the gas cylinder are in place and in good condition before connecting the gas cylinder.
4. Do not use this appliance if it has damaged or worn seals.
5. NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails to produce a spark at the electrode, barbecue can be lit by a long barbecue match with hood open insert the match into a hole on the underside of the barbecue and turn gas control to high.
6. Check performance of burner prior to installing barbecue plates.
7. Do not smoke when attempting to ignite barbecue.
8. Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other material.
9. Always use protective gloves when handling hot components.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE

Burner Operation & Ignition System Check

1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position check the piezo igniter by pushing in and rotating the control knob anti-clockwise. Check for sparking to the burner.
2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition point, check that the ignition lead is firmly attached to the control and sparker tip.
3. With sparking established open the cylinder valve, push and turn the control knob to ‘HIGH’.This BBQ has flame thrower ignition so you will see a large flame at ignition and once you release the control knob the flame will become normal.
4. If the burner fails to light after several attempts turn off gas and inspect for obstructions to gas flow.

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

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.

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 ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes is necessary.

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.

Cleaning the Cooking Surface

After cooking, turn burner control to ‘OFF’ and let barbecue cool before attempting to clean the grill plate or grate. Before first use and periodically, it is suggested that you wash the grill plate and grate in a mild soap and warm water solution.

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 warm water solution.

IMPORTANT

• Beware of spiders and wasps. Burner tube should be inspected and cleaned periodically.
• This appliance must only be serviced by an authorised person.
• To avoid any flare-ups, it is recommended that the drip tray be checked and emptied regularly. Contents of the drip tray may be very hot during cooking. If emptied during extended cooking extreme caution should be taken and direct contact by hand should be avoided at all times. Allow to cool completely before disposing of the contents.

SAFE APPLIANCE LOCATIONS

This appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
