IF YOU SMELL GAS
Hose & Regulator Safety
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with
the barbecue are suitable for propane gas or
universal L.P.G only. Hose connection thread is
5/8”- 18 U.N.F.
A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet
pressure of 2.75kPa is supplied for connection
to the gas cylinder. The pressure regulator and
hose assembly supplied with the barbecue must
me 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 gas
cylinders certified to AS 2469.
The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable
gas supplier and visually inspected and re-
qualified 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.
IF THERE IS A LEAK
• Turn the cylinder off.
• Ventilate the area to disperse gas.
• Check all connections.
• If leak persists, keep the cylinder upright.
Keep skin away from any gas or liquid
escaping from the cylinder.
• Keep the cylinder at least 20 metres away
from any sparks or ignition sources,
including electrical equipment,
camera flashes, engines and motors.
• Disperse gas by encouraging maximum
ventilation and spraying with a fine water
spray.
IF THERE IS A FIRE
• If the fire is at the barbecue, turn the gas
off at the cylinder. Smother the flames with
a wet cloth, fire blanket or extinguish using
a fire extinguisher.
• If the fire is at the cylinder, or you can not
get to the valve to turn the gas off, contact
the fire brigade immediately
• Using a garden hose, direct the water to the
middle of the cylinder to keep it cool. Try
not to extinguish the flame. At least the
gas is burning, it won’t be able to build up
pressure and explode.

General Information
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.
Flash-Back
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.
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
cooking surface. Before first use and periodically,
it is suggested that you wash the cooking surface
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.
• 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.

OPERATING PROCEDURE
Preheating
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at
least 5 minutes before cooking certain foods,
depending on the type of good and the cooking
temperature, needs only a period of 2-3 minutes
preheating.
Cooking Temperatures
HIGH setting - Use this setting only for fast warm
up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning
food residue from the grill plates after cooking is
over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting
for extended cooking.
MEDIUM setting (mid-way between ‘HIGH’ and
‘LOW’). Use this setting for most grilling, and for
cooking hamburgers and vegetables.
LOW setting - Use this setting when cooking very
lean cuts such as fish. These temperatures vary
with outside temperature and the amount of wind.
Roasting
For best results when roasting remove the hotplate
and centre the grill. The outer two burners should
be used on the low to medium setting.
Adjust the control knob to maintain the
temperature around the medium mark (approx
200° to 230°).
