CONNECTING &
DISCONNECTING GAS
Make sure all barbeque control knobs are in the off
position. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder
according to your regulator and cylinder dealer’s
instructions. The thread/tting used between the
regulator and the gas cylinder is 5/8” - 18 UNF for
the bbq end and 7/8” Type 21 left hand P.O.L.
Thread for the gas cylinder end. Secure all joints
spanner (wrench) tight but do not over-tighten.
First time seasoning the hotplate
During manufacturing, the cooking surfaces were
coated with a non-toxic paint. This paint will come
off completely over time. Its purpose is purely to
help protect your barbeque during transport and
storage.
Coat the hotplate with canola oil or something
similar. Light the barbeque as above. Leave the
barbeque with all burners on low for about 30
minutes. Paint may come off at this time. Now
clean the surface. The hotplate is now cured
and ready for use. This process only needs to
be done the rst time you use the barbeque. For
ongoing protection of the cooking surfaces, follow
the procedures in the Cleaning, Storage and
Maintenance sections.
Lighting procedure
• Lighting the barbeque is easy, but must be done
with due care.
• Make sure that gas is turned on at the cylinder,
or that gas is available to the barbeque.
• Make sure the LPG cylinder is lled.
• Check that the end of each burner tube is
properly located over each valve orice.

tightened.
