Outdoor Cooking Centre Installation Codes

This Outdoor Cooking Centre must be installed in accordance with all local codes.

Correct LPG Cylinder Use

The Outdoor Cooking Centre is designed for use with up to a 9kg Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) cylinder, not

included with the Outdoor Cooking Centre. Never connect your Outdoor Cooking Centre to an LPG cylinder

that exceeds this capacity. The LPG cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the

Specifications for LPG cylinders of the Australian Standard AS2030. Consult your local gas dealer to obtain the

correct gas cylinder.

Proper Placement and Clearance of your Outdoor Cooking Centre

Never use your Outdoor Cooking Centre in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed area. Your

Outdoor Cooking Centre is to be used outdoors only. Refer to page 7 for required clearances when installing

your Outdoor Cooking Centre in a built-in installation. Your Outdoor Cooking Centre should not be placed

under any surface that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air around the appliance.

GENERAL WARNINGS

The Outdoor Cooking Centre is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats.

Never connect an unregulated LPG cylinder to your Outdoor Cooking Centre. The gas Regulator assembly

supplied with your Outdoor Cooking Centre is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75kPa for connection

to an LPG cylinder.

Only use the Regulator and Hose Assembly supplied with your Outdoor Cooking Centre. Replacement

Regulators and Hose Assemblies must be those specified by manufacturer.

Have your LPG cylinder filled by a reputable propane gas dealer; visually inspected at each filling.

Have your propane gas dealer check the release valve after every filling to ensure that it remains free of

defects.

Always keep LPG cylinders in an upright position.

Do not store (or use) gasoline or other flammable vapours and liquids in the vicinity of this Outdoor Cooking

Centre.

An LPG cylinder that is not connected for use must NOT be stored inside the cabinet or in the vicinity of this or

any other gas appliance.

Do not subject the LPG cylinder to excessive heat.

Never store an LPG cylinder indoors. If you store your Outdoor Cooking Centre in the garage or other indoor

location, always disconnect the LPG cylinder first and store it safely outside.

When your Outdoor Cooking Centre is not in use the gas must be turned off at the LPG cylinder valve.

The Regulator and Hose Assembly must be inspected before each use of the Outdoor Cooking Centre. If there

is excess abrasion or wear, or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the Outdoor Cooking Centre being

used again.

Keep the gas Regulator Hose away from hot surfaces and dripping grease.

Avoid unnecessary twisting of hose. Visually inspect the Regulator and Hose prior to each use for cuts, cracks,

excessive wear or other damage. If the Hose appears damaged do not use the Outdoor Cooking Centre.

Never light your Outdoor Cooking Centre with the Hood closed or before checking to insure the Burner Tubes

are fully seated over the gas valve nozzle.

Never allow children to operate your Outdoor Cooking Centre. Do not allow children to play near the

Outdoor Cooking Centre.

LPG cylinders must be stored outdoors out

ALWAYS use an Open Grill over the Smoker burner on the right hand side of your Outdoor Cooking Centre.

WARNING: Your Outdoor Cooking Centre will get very hot. Never lean over the cooking area during use. Do

not touch cooking surfaces, burner housing, hood or any other parts while the Outdoor Cooking Centre is in

operation, or until the Outdoor Cooking Centre has cooled down after use. Failure to comply with these

instructions may result in serious bodily injury.

Burn-off

Before cooking on your Outdoor Cooking Centre for the first time, you will want to “burn off” the Outdoor

Cooking Centre to eliminate any odour or foreign matter. Follow the lighting instructions on Page 13 to ignite

the Burners, lower the hood, and operate on the HIGH setting for three to five minutes.

CAUTION: If the burners fail to light, turn the control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes till the gas clears and try

again. Do not leave your Outdoor Cooking Centre unattended.

Preheating

To preheat, light your Outdoor Cooking Centre on HIGH, lower the Hood and follow this timetable:

• For high temperature cooking, preheat Burners for 5 to 10 minutes.

• For low temperature cooking, preheat Burners for 3 minutes.

• To slow cook, preheating is not necessary.

Cooking Temperatures

High setting: Only use this setting for fast warm-up, searing steaks or chops and for burning food residue off

the grill after cooking is complete. Never use the HIGH setting for extended cooking.

Medium to Low settings: Most recipes specify medium to low settings, including all smoking, rotisserie cooking

and for cooking lean cuts such as fish.

NOTE: Temperature settings will vary with the amount of wind and temperature outside your home.

Direct Cooking

The direct cooking method can be used with the supplied Solid Plate & Open Grills and food placed directly

over the lit grill Burners. Direct cooking requires the hood to be up. This method is ideal for searing and

whenever you want meat, poultry or fish to have an open-flame barbecued taste. Smoking is also best cooked

in this manner because it requires direct heat.

Cooking Instructions

Indirect Cooking

The indirect cooking method can also be used with the

supplied Solid Plate & Open Grills. To cook indirectly, the food

should be placed on the left or right side of your Outdoor

Cooking Centre with the Burner lit on the opposite side. Or

place your food on the Secondary Cooking Rack mounted

inside your hood and light the outer grill Burners. Either way,

indirect cooking must be done with the Hood down.

Coating your Solid Plate & Open Grills

Before and after each cookout, apply a thin layer of cooking oil, spray or vegetable shortening to each Solid

Plate & Open Grills. Be sure to coat the entire surface including edges. This will help prevent foods from

sticking to your Solid Plate & Open Grills.

Flare-ups

The fats and juices dripping from grilled food can cause flare-ups. Since flare-ups impart a favourably, distinctive

taste and colour to food cooked over an open flame, they should be accepted up to a point. Nevertheless,

uncontrolled flaring can result in a ruined meal.

WARNING: Do not line the bottom of the Burner housing with aluminum foil, sand or any substance that will

restrict the flow of grease into the Grease Spillage Tray.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result in a fire or explosion, which could cause serious bodily

injury, death, or property damage.
