level ground next to the barbecue and safely away
from any source of heat. Should you need to
change the gas bottle, confirm that the barbecue is
switched off, and that there are no sources of
ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near
before proceeding. Inspect the gas hose to ensure
it is free of any twisting or tension. The hose
should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks
that could obstruct free flow of gas. Apart from the
connection point, no part of the hose should touch
any hot barbecue parts. Always inspect the hose
for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use. If
the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with
hose suitable for use with LPG and meet the
national standards for the country of use. The
length of the hose shall not exceed 1.5m. N.B.-The
date on U.K. orange hose is the date of
manufacture, not the expiry date.
G3. Connecting the Gas Hose to the Barbecue
Connect the gas hose to the gas rail inlet on the
left hand side of the barbecue. Do not overtighten.
Do not use any sealing tape or liquid on the
connection.
G4. Fixing the Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off
position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle
according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s
instructions.
G5. Leak Testing (To be performed in a well-
ventilated area.)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position.
Detach the barbecue control panel located across
the front of the barbecue body by pulling off the
control knobs and removing the control panel
retaining screws. Open the gas control valve on
the bottle or regulator. Check for leaks by brushing
a solution of ½ water and ½ soap over all gas
system joints, including all valve connections, hose
connections and regulator connections. NEVER
USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at
anytime. If bubbles form over any of the joints,
there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply and
retighten all joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form
again, do not use the barbecue. Please contact
your local dealer for assistance. Leak test
annually, and whenever the gas bottle is removed
or replaced.
H. Operation
H1. nWarnings
n Before proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION
section of this manual.
n This barbecue is not designed to be used with
more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid
plate. Full coverage of plates will cause
excessive build-up of heat and damage the
barbecue.
H2. Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the porcelain,
please use a long handled brush to apply a light
coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each
barbecuing session. Line the drip tray with
aluminium foil, then place a uniform layer of clean,
dry sand 1cm deep into the tray. This will absorb
excess cooking fat, thus making cleanup easy.
H3. Lighting the Barbecue Using the Integra-
Spark Integrated Ignition System
•
Open the roasting hood of your barbecue
before lighting.
•
Open the gas control valve on the gas bottle
or regulator.
•
Push the control knob of the burner you wish
to light and turn it anti-clockwise until you feel
resistance to the turning. Pause 4 seconds,
then continue turning the control knob until a
click is heard and the burner is lit. Repeat
previous step 4-5 times until the burner is lit.
Ignite any of the remaining burners in any
order, as needed. Confirm each burner is
alight before igniting another burner. If any
burner fails to ignite after following above
procedure, turn all the knobs to the off
position. Close the gas valve on the gas
bottle. Wait five minutes. Reattempt all of the
above steps. If the barbecue still fails to light,
please refer to the manual ignition instructions
below.
•
After ignition, turn the burners to the high
position for 3-5 minutes in order to pre heat
the barbecue. This should be done before
each cooking session. When pre heating is
complete, cooking can begin, taking extra
care if burners are left in the high position.
H4. Manual Ignition Instructions

lighting hole on the underside of the control
panel and place near leftmost burner porthole.

When the left burner is lit, turn the remaining
burners on from left to right.
