Safety First
Congratulations On Your Pur chase
Australia has an excellent safety record when it comes to gas appliances. This reflects both
the high quality of appliances sold, as well as growing consumer awareness about safe
practice. We urge you to follow the guidelines below together with these instructions for
safe use, to prevent overheating and to produce great cooking results.
• This barbeque is an outdoor appliance only. Under no circumstances should it be used indoors.
• This barbeque has not been approved for marine use.
• Do not perform any servicing on the barbeque yourself. This includes internal adjustment of the
regulator and gas valves. Servicing can only be carried out by authorised technicians.
• It is important that you install your barbeque exactly as described in these instructions. In particular
you should keep the barbeque clear of combustible material, and you should check for leaks whenever
a new connection is made.

fl
ammable materials near this appliance.

of this appliance.
• Do not place articles on or against, or enclose this appliance.
• The barbeque gets extremely hot while in use. Keep children away from the appliance until it has
cooled to normal temperatures.
• It is a good idea to tie back long hair and loose clothing while cooking in case of unexpected

• Fat
fi
res are the most common cause of problems in barbeques. They are caused by a build up of
grease in the fat cup and the inside of the barbeque frame. A fat

will be dangerous if it spreads to the gas hose. You should keep your barbeque clean to avoid this
occurrence. Fat
fi
res will void the warranty.

will fall out.

cylinders when the barbeque is not in use.

barbeque from getting too hot. NEVER let the temperature on the hood thermometer enter the red
danger zone.
• NEVER leave all burners on HI for more than 15 minutes, always stay in control by adjusting burners
