10 USING YOUR BARBECUE
USING YOUR BARBECUE
Ignition:
Model 16440 and 16640 does not require a battery and has
a QuartzStart ignition system built into every valve.
For 16540 and 16740 models, A battery must be inserted
into the ignition module in order for it to work.
Unscrew the top of the ignition button (holding onto the
knurled, rigid part), and insert 1 x AA battery, such that the
positive (+) side is towards you. Replace cup.
Preparing the Plate:
To protect the steel cooking surface during transport and
prior to purchase, a non-permanent and non-toxic coating is
applied. This coating will wear off in time with use. To help
preserve the cooking surfaces and to minimise corrosion and
sticking, cooking plate is best seasoned before use.
Wash the plate thoroughly with mild dishwashing liquid and
dry immediately. Do not allow to drain-dry. Coat top surface
with a generous layer of solid vegetable oil. Do not use salted
fats such as butter or margarine.
With barbecue plate placed in the correct position, light
the burners according to this instruction manual. Turn
the burners on to the High setting until a medium heat is
attained. After about 10 minutes turn all burners Off and
allow the unit to cool completely. Coat again with vegetable
oil. The cooking plate is now seasoned and ready to use. The
cooking surface should be frequently seasoned as above to
prevent corrosion. If rust does occur, clean with a wire brush
and repeat the seasoning process. In a marine environment
more frequent seasoning may be required.
To Turn Off a Burner
Push in and hold the control knob while turning in a
clockwise direction until the ‘Off’ position is reached. Failure
to follow these shutdown/turnoff procedures exactly could
lead to a hazardous situation.
Cooking Method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing:
Place food over the lit plate section. Observe cooking process
and turn food over as required to achieve uniform cooking.
The direct cooking method is recommended for steaks,
chops, sausages, and hamburgers, as well as vegetables.
To Operate
A. The appliance is placed on a flat, level, non-combustible
surface.
B. Ensure the regulator is connected to the LPG cylinder
(See Regulator Connection page 4.), and the hose is not
subject to any twisting.
C. Verify all joints are spanner tight and check for leaks
after turning on gas supply. See correct procedure on
page 4.
D. Ensure all knobs are in the ‘Off’ position.
E. Ensure cooking plate is in place, and secured with all
Thumb screws.
F. Open Gas Cylinder valve.
G. Light each burner by following this procedure
(16540 and 16740):
• Read all instructions before lighting.
• Before lighting ensure plate is secured.
• Push in and turn Left-Hand-Side knob counter
clockwise to ‘High’, while pressing the Ignition button
(a ‘Clicking’ sound will be heard).
• If ignition does not occur, return to ‘Off’ and repeat
after 5 minutes.
H. Once the left-hand-side burner is alight, light each
successive burner from left to right. or
I. Light each burner by following this procedure
(16440 and 16640):
• Read all instructions before lighting.
• Before lighting ensure plate is secured.
• Push in and turn any knob counter-clockwise
towards ‘High’.
• If ignition does not occur, return to ‘Off’ and repeat
after 5 minutes.
J. Check for a clear blue flame with just a tip of yellow.
WARNING
WARNING
Excess yellow tipping means the combustion is not right, if
that is observed, turn the barbecue burners off, and refer to
troubleshooting at the end of this manual.
Controlling the Burners
The control knob can now be turned to the desired heat
setting, Low, Medium or High. The control knob does not
need to be pushed in while selecting the heat setting.
After Use
It is a good idea to leave the barbecue ‘On’ for about
10 minutes after you have finished cooking. This helps to
burn away any excess food residues and oil, and makes
cleaning easier.
• Be sure to turn off all control knobs and the gas supply.
• Allow the barbecue to cool.
• Clean the fat collecting cup and cooking surfaces. Clean
any food spills from the side shelves, if they are installed.
• The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when
the appliance is not in use.
Storing Your Barbecue
When storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all
controls and cylinder valves are turned off. If storing the
barbecue indoors remove gas cylinder and store the cylinder
in a ventilated area outdoors. Gas cylinders must be stored
outdoors, out of reach of children and must not be stored in
a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
The barbecue should be covered when not in use. Eg with
a polyester or vinyl barbecue cover.
