ignition button (8) back into place. Open the
barbecue hood (2) and turn on gas supply at gas
cylinder.
• Turn burner control knob (7) to position
HI
• Press and hold ignition button (8) to ignite the
burner flames. If ignition does not occur in 5
seconds, turn burner control knob (7) to OFF
wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure.
• In windy conditions, shield from wind to ensure
easy lighting.
• Once ignition has occurred, turn control knob (7)
to lower or raise heat as required.
• After ignition, the burners should be burned at
the high position for 3-5 minutes in order to
preheat the barbecue. This process should be
done before every cooking session. IMPORTANT
- The hood should be open during preheating.
• After completion of preheating, turn burners to
low position and cook with the hood in the down
position for best cooking results.

Manual lighting instructions
• Remove the cooking grill (4), griddle plate (13)
and vapour bar (5) from barbecue.
• Place a lit match beside the burner (6) (at the
same location as the sparker shield).
• Push and turn the right most control knob (7)
anti-clockwise to the high position.
• After successful lighting, light each burner from
left to right as desired.
Grill Cooking
The vapour bar evenly distributes the burner flame
across the cooking grill area. The natural food
juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot
vapour bar below and vaporise. Even cooking of
food will be achieved by using the barbecue with
the hood down. This should only be done with the
burner on low.
Flare-Up Control
IMPORTANT – FLARE UPS CAN OCCUR FROM
RESIDUE FAT AND JUICES DRIPPING ONTO THE
BURNERS AND HOT VAPOUR BAR. To reduce this,
regularly clean the burners and vapour bar. To
control flare-up, it is advisable to trim away excess
fat from meat and poultry before grilling. The
burners should always be placed on the low setting
during cooking. Always protect your hands when
handling anything near cooking surface of the
barbecue.
.
Covered cooking
Keep the hood closed when you grill to ensure the
heat circulates evenly. With the hood closed, the
gas barbeque cooks much like a convection oven.
The thermometer in the hood shows what the
cooking temperature is inside the barbecue so you
don't have to lift the hood. Avoid lifting the hood to
look inside during the cooking process – heat will
,
be lost.
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.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
Push the control knob (7) in and turn to the 'OFF'
position.
Turn the gas off and disconnect at the cylinder
when not in use.
The regulator must be disconnected when the
barbecue is not in use. Wait until the barbecue is
sufficiently cool before closing the hood.
At the end of every cooking session ensure grease
cup is cleaned thoroughly.
FOOD SAFETY
Please read and follow this advice when cooking on
your barbecue:
• Always wash your hands before and after
handling uncooked meat and before eating.
• Always keep raw meat away from cooked meat
and other foods.
• Before cooking, ensure barbecue grill surfaces
and tools are clean and free of old food residue.
• Do not use the same utensils to handle cooked
and uncooked foods.
• Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before
eating.
CAUTION – eating raw or undercooked meat
can cause food poisoning (e.g bacteria strains
such as E.coli)
• To reduce the risk of undercooked meat, cut
open to ensure it is cooked all the way through
internally.
CAUTION – if meat has been cooked
sufficiently the meat juices should be clear in
colour and there should be no traces of pink/
red juice or meat colouring.
• After cooking on your barbecue always clean the
grill cooking surfaces and utensils.
