Using Your Barbecue
Controlling The Burners

To Turn Off The Burner
Push in and hold the control knob while turning in a clockwise direction until the off position is reached.
After Use
It is a good idea to leave the barbecue on for about 10 minutes after you have finished cooking. This helps to burn away any excess food residues and oil, and makes cleaning easier.
1.Be sure to turn off all control knobs and cylinder valve (for Propane - LPG) or
2.Allow barbecue to cool.
3.Clean the drip tray and cooking surfaces.
4.Clean any food spills from the side burner.
5.Lower the hood and side burner lid,
Remove the gas cylinder from the enclosure before disconnecting the gas line from the appliance. Tighten all connections before placing the gas cylinder back in its enclosure.
How Long Will The Gas In My Cylinder Last?
If you have a full cylinder of propane, just look at the table below to see how many hours of gas you have, depending on how many burners you have alight. These figures are approximate only.
You may notice that if you have several burners alight and your cylinder becomes low on gas, the liquid may freeze up. If this occurs, turn the cylinder and all burners off and wait till the liquid thaws. You may then reignite the burners.
| 9 kg/20lb bottle | 4 kg/9lb bottle | ||
| High | Low | High | Low |
1 burner | 25 hours | 75 hours | 11 hours | 33 hours |
2 burners | 12.5 hours | 37.5 hours | 5.5 hours | 17 hours |
3 burners | 8.3 hours | 25 hours | 3.7 hours | 11 hours |
4 burners | 6.3 hours | 19 hours | 2.75 hours | 8 hours |
5 burners | 5 hours | 15 hours | 2.25 hours | 6.6 hours |
These tables were worked out using the following:
Each burner on high setting uses 19 MJ/hour or 18,000 BTU/hour
Each burner on low setting uses 6 MJ/hour or 5,700 BTU/hr
Each kg of gas contains 50MJ. Each lb of gas contains 21,600 BTU
