Page 11: Rear Burner Manual Ignition
REAR BURNER MANUAL IGNITION 1. Open the gas control valve at the cylinder 2. Remove grids. The burners will be visible. FIRST strike a match and hold approximately 40 mm away from the RIGHT HAND burner, then push and turn the rightmost control knob anti-clockwise to the HIGH position. 3. If the burner fails to ignite after 5 seconds, turn to the OFF position and wait 2 minutes. Then begin again from Step 2. If the burner still fails to light after several attempts, call your local dealer for service. 4. After use, first turn OFF the gas control valve at the cylinder and then turn ALL control knobs to the OFF position. ROASTING HOOD COOKING! VERY IMPORTANT! Gas BBQ's equipped with a roasting hood give the option of cooking with the hood closed to form an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such as joints of meat, whole chickens, etc. When the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped inside the Gas BBQ. Thus, it is important to make sure that the burner is turned to the low position to prevent burning of the food and damaging the Gas BBQ. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat will be lost every time the hood is opened. FLARE UP CONTROL Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecuing on the grill and the juices fall on the hot vaporiser/flame tamer plate and vaporise. The smoke from some flare-up helps to give the meat its BBQ flavour, but excessive flare-up will result in the meat being burned and becoming bitter. To control excessive flare-up, it is advisable to trim excessive fat from meat and poultry before grilling; to control it further, the burners can be turned to the low setting. -

If problem persists do not try to rectify the problem yourself as this could result in serious injury and/or property damage. Store the appliance in a clean and dry environment. Do not store your gas cylinder indoors. Store in a well ventilated area away from direct sunlight or an electrical source. Light the burners in the same method, in order from left right. The burner will cross-ignite from the burner to it’s left. Adjust to the required heat setting. END OF COOKING OPERATION After each cooking session, turn the BBQ burners to the HIGH position and burn for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. The hood must be open during this procedure. Turning off your BBQ. When you have finished using your BBQ, turn off the gas at the cylinder valve, and then ensure that all the control valves are turned to the OFF position in sequence starting from the left hand and moving to the right hand side of the unit. Wait until the BBQ is sufficiently cool before closing it’s hood or lid. GAS CYLINDER A 9kg ALVA gas cylinder with a 5/8 inch BSP left hand thread is recommended. This will match the supplied regulator. Cylinders must be stored in an upright position, in a well ventilated and damp free area and out of reach of children. The cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach or exceed 50’C. Do not store the cylinder near open flames, pilot lights or any other sources of ignition. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE HANDLING THE CYLINDER. -

Replace the burner and spring as described in the assembly instructions. 6. Check the burner for proper location/seating after replacement. 7. Ensure that the valve orifices are inside the burner tube. CLEANING THE GRIDS After cooking, turn the burner control to “OFF” and let the BBQ cool before attempting to clean your grill plates. Before first use - as well as periodically - we suggest that you wash the grids in a mild soap and warm water solution. You can use a wash cloth, a vegetable brush, or non-metallic scouring pad to clean your grids. CLEANING THE FLAME TAMER Washing the flame tamers after every use is not necessary but we suggest that you frequently wash the flame tamer in a soap and warm water solution. Use a non-metallic brush/scourer to remove stubborn burnt-on cooking residue. Dry the flame tamer thoroughly before you reinstall it in the cooking body. CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY The drip tray should be emptied and wiped down periodically and washed in a mild detergent and warm water solution. A level layer of clean dry sand should be placed in the bottom of the sand tray to absorb the grease. Lining the tray with aluminium foil before use will aid in cleaning.
- Page 17 ANNUAL CLEANING OF BBQ HOUSING Burning-off the grill after cooking will keep it ready for instant use, however, once a year you should give the entire BBQ a thorough cleaning to keep it in top operating condition. 1. Turn the burner controls to the “OFF” position. 2. Turn the cylinder valve off fully. 3. Detach the regulator assembly from cylinder valve by turn- ing the quick coupling nut. 4. Remove and clean (as explained above) the grids, flame tamer and burners. 5. Cover the gas valve orifices with aluminium foil. 6. Brush the inside and bottom of the BBQ with a cleaning brush, and wash down with a mild soap and warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and let dry. 7. Remove aluminium foil from orifices and check orifices for obstruction. 8. Check spark electrode, adjusting it as instructed. Electrode tip pointing toward the tip of gas collector and approximately 5 mm from the tip of collector box. 9. Replace burners. Adjust spark electrode collector box. 10. Replace flame tamer, grids and warming rack. 11. Re-connect to gas supply. VISUALLY CHECKING BURNER FLAMES Occasionally observe burner flame for correct operation. See diagram below.
