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

nBefore proceeding, make certain that you understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION section of this manual.

nThis 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

Push and turn the leftmost control knob anti- clockwise to the high position.

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

Confirm that each burner is alight before turning on the next burner.

If leftmost burner fails to ignite, contact your local dealer for assistance.

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
