To light the main barbecue grill
There are three
knobs that control the three burners in the barbecue grill. The knob on the left controls the centre/back
burner. Continuing right, the next knob
controls the left burner of the main grill.
The next knob controls the right burner of the main grill. You may use all the three burners at the same
time, or choose the burner you only need to use. (The big barbecue has five burners).
Push the control
knob in and turn it counter-clockwise to LIT.
You will hear a clicking sound indicating proper operation of the spark
module. After burner lights, rotate the
knob out of the LIT position to adjust the flame size.
As indicated,
there are two main grill burners and one back burner. When properly installed, all the burners
should light within six seconds when you push their control knobs in and turned
counter-clockwise. After burner lights,
the flames should be steady and should not lift off burner ports.
To light the rear burner rotisserie
Caution: Do not operate the main burner and the rear burner at
the same time as this may cause a grease fire or damage to the barbecue.
Re-install the
rotisserie motor. (You can take out the rotisserie motor if not in use). The rotisserie motor is run by electricity;
plug it in while using.
Push the control
knob situated in the extreme left front of the barbecue in and turn it to
LIT. You will hear a clicking
sound. After burner lights, rotate the

MAINTENANCE
AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
This barbecue
must be placed outdoors so that there is no obstruction in the flow of
combustion and air ventilation. Make
sure carpeting or woodwork does not obstruct the openings around the base of
the barbecue that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation. Similarly, the cylinder enclosure must be
free and clear from debris.
The location of
this outdoor barbecue must always be clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapours and liquids. Also, the barbecue must maintain proper
clearances from combustible structures.
Air shutter adjustment
Visually inspect
the burner flames. The flames have dark
blue tips, sometimes yellow, when the air shutter is correctly set in using LP
gas. However, call for service if the
flames are yellow.
When using
natural gas, the flames are normally soft blue.
If the burner is
not getting enough air, the flames will have a soft yellow shape and colour. However, if the burner is getting too much
air, the flames will act erratically on the burner.
Quality of flames:
Note: The air shutter is factory set and does
not need adjustment under normal circumstances.
However, if there is really a need for an adjustment, a qualified gas
installer must do the combustion air adjustment.
To adjust the air shutter, remove the cover (e.g.
cooking grids and burner covers). Leave
the lid open. Loosen the air shutter
lock screw and rotate the shutter to adjust (open or close) the flow of air as
required. Flames should not lift off
burner ports. Reduce the air shutter
opening until flames are stabilized.
Then, light the burners and set to high. When the air shutters are correctly set,
turn the burners off and tighten the lock screw.
Hose
Check the hose
for any abrasion, melting, cuts, and cracks.
Do not use the barbecue if any of these signs exist. Replace the hose assembly before using the
barbecue.
CLEANING THE BARBECUE
Important: TURN OFF the
gas at the source (i.e. propane cylinder or natural gas supply valve) and disconnect the barbecue before cleaning
or servicing. Cleaning and
maintenance should only be made when the grill and burner are cool to avoid the
possibility of burns. Use recommended
cleaning agents, if necessary. Clean the
barbecue in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns or
patios. It is not necessary to clean
the barbecue after each use, but should be done regularly.
Burner Head
Important: DO NOT disassemble or clean any
burner while another burner is on. Turn
all controls off. Clean the burner parts
only if they are cool to avoid skin burns.
Wipe and clean
the surface burners regularly, especially after bad spillages. You may take out
the burner for easier cleaning.
Burned-on food and spillages clog the burner openings. Soak the surface burner in a hot water with
soap or detergent. Do not use steel wool
because it may scratch the surface burners and clog the openings. Clean any blocked ports using sewing needle,
wire twist-tie or an opened paper clip. However, do not enlarge the burner
ports.
Check and clean
burner/venturi tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the
grill. To clean the inside of the
burner/venturi tubes use a flexible venturi tube cleaning brush. Shake any loose debris out of the
burner. Rinse well, shake out excess
water, and dry it thoroughly. Place the
burner back in correct position and make sure it is properly placed and
level.
Burner cover
Lift up and slide
out the burner cover when cool. Wash it
in hot water with mild soap. You may use
a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on food or spillages, if
necessary. Rinse well and let it dry
completely. Do not put the cover back
while it is still wet. When dry, replace it in correct position.
Burner grate
Lift out the
burner grate when cool. Wash it in hot,
soapy water with soap. Use any type of scouring
pad to remove burned-on food and spillages, if necessary. Rinse well and let it dry completely. Make sure to replace it correctly and in a secured
position over the burner. You may put
coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grate to prevent it from
rusting. The grate will gradually loose
its shine due to continuous exposure to high temperatures.
Cooking grids and drip pan
Cooking grids and
drip pan should be cleaned regularly to avoid grease build up. Accumulated grease could cause a fire hazard.
Lift out the cooking grids. Take out the drip pan inside the
cabinet. Soak the cooking grids and drip pan in hot
water with soap to help remove burned-on foods.
Use soap-filled scouring pad or steel wool for stubborn stains, if
necessary. Wash, rinse, and let them
dry. When re-installing the cooking
grids and drip pan, make sure that they are in correct position.
Note: The stainless grids may discolour permanently from
normal usage because of the high cooking temperature.
Inside of the barbecue
To clean the inside of the barbecue, remove the cooking grids. Use a soft wire brush to clean loose debris from sides and insides of the lid. Clean the area under the lid regularly because built-up soot/food or grease may catch on fire. Use a cloth with hot, soapy water. Use plastic scouring pad or a scraper, if necessary. Brush all debris into the removable drip pan. Make sure that the cooking grids and drip pan ar
