  1. Place the BBQ upside down, and release legs by unscrewing the 2 Hand Screws.
  2. Pull both Wheels Frames to a vertical position. Place the bottom shelf (or cross-brace) in between the horizontal members, and tighten with a hand-screw on each side.
  3. Turn back the right way, and install the fat collecting cup holder. Place cup inside.
  4. Install the shelf on the right-hand side. (Clubman Only. Clubmate has handles on both sides): The shelf should be installed such that the bottom screw in each bracket will go through the hole in the shelf. The top remain free, so the shelf can be folded.
  5. Install cylinder hook over the 2 studs under the right-hand side shelf.
  6. Fit the handle on left-hand side:
  1.  Assemble the black spacers to the ends of the handle tube.
  2. Insert the assembled tube in between the brackets.
  3. Insert threaded rod through brackets and handle, and tighten with a nut on each side.

The Cooking Plate of this BBQ is designed so it can be removed for easier transportation of the appliance. To remove the plate, you must undo the 5 thumb screws holding it to the body. Two at each side, and one at rear.

Note: when operating the BBQ, it must be ensured that all 5 Thumbscrews holding the plate are in place and fastened tightly.Connect the Regulator to the gas CylinderWARNINGVerify `Gas Type’ label & data plate attached to side of barbecue is correct for the gas you are about to connect to.

  1. Make sure burner valves are in the `Off’ position.
  2. Screw regulator side to the cylinder, and hand-tighten.CAUTIONNote: if moving the BBQ from one place to another, never drag the cylinder behind. Disconnect the cylinder first, move, and re-connect once reached the new location. WARNINGNote: For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the cylinder only, do not disconnect hose from the appliance.

Once finished using the barbecue

  1. Disassembly operation must be done after the barbecue has totally cooled off.
  2. Be careful when removing fat collecting cup, because the grease in the cup may take longer to cool down.
  3. When transporting the barbecue, make sure that all parts are locked firmly to place. WARNINGNote: for 16540,16640 and 16740 barbecues, the plate is made of Mild Steel, and coated with non-toxic paint to protect it from rusting. With use, the coating may come off, and while posing no hazard, it is recommended to keep the plate lightly oiled while not in use, and keep the barbecue covered, to prevent corrosion of the plate.

USING YOUR BARBECUE

Ignition:Model 16440 and 16640 does not require a battery and has a QuartzStart ignition system built into every valve.For 16540 and 16740 models, A battery must be inserted into the ignition module in order for it to work.Unscrew the top of the ignition button (holding onto the knurled, rigid part), and insert 1 x AA battery, such that the positive (+) side is towards you. Replace cup.

Preparing the Plate:To protect the steel cooking surface during transport and prior to purchase, a non-permanent and non-toxic coating is applied. This coating will wear off in time with use. To help preserve the cooking surfaces and to minimize corrosion and sticking, cooking plate is best seasoned before use.Wash the plate thoroughly with mild dishwashing liquid and dry immediately. Do not allow to drain-dry. Coat top surface with a generous layer of solid vegetable oil. Do not use salted fats such as butter or margarine.With barbecue plate placed in the correct position, light the burners according to this instruction manual. Turn the burners on to the High setting until a medium heat is attained. After about 10 minutes turn all burners Off and allow the unit to cool completely. Coat again with vegetable oil. The cooking plate is now seasoned and ready to use. The cooking surface should be frequently seasoned as above to prevent corrosion. If rust does occur, clean with a wire brush and repeats the seasoning process. In a marine environment, more frequent seasoning may be required.

To Turn Off a BurnerPush in and hold the control knob while turning in a clockwise direction until the `Off’ position is reached. Failure to follow these shutdown/turnoff procedures exactly could lead to a hazardous situation.

Cooking MethodCommonly used for traditional barbecuing:Place food over the lit plate section. Observe cooking process and turn food over as required to achieve uniform cooking.The direct cooking method is recommended for steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers, as well as vegetables.

To OperateA. The appliance is placed on a flat, level, non-combustible surface.B. Ensure the regulator is connected to the LPG cylinder (See Regulator Connection page 4.), and the hose is not subject to any twisting.C. Verify all joints are spanner tight and check for leaks after turning on gas supply. See correct procedure on page 4.D. Ensure all knobs are in the `Off’ position.E. Ensure cooking plate is in place, and secured with all Thumbscrews.F. Open Gas Cylinder valve.G. Light each burner by following this procedure (16540 and 16740):• Read all instructions before lighting.• Before lighting ensure plate is secured.• Push in and turn Left-Hand-Side knob counterclockwise to `High’, while pressing the Ignition button (a `Clicking’ sound will be heard).• If ignition does not occur, return to `Off’ and repeat after 5 minutes.H. Once the left-hand-side burner is alight, light each successive burner from left to right. orI. Light each burner by following this procedure (16440 and 16640):• Read all instructions before lighting.• Before lighting ensure plate is secured.• Push in and turn any knob counter-clockwise towards `High’.• If ignition does not occur, return to `Off’ and repeat after 5 minutes.J. Check for a clear blue flame with just a tip of yellow.

WARNINGExcess yellow tipping means the combustion is not right, if that is observed, turn the barbecue burners off, and refer to troubleshooting at the end of this manual.

Controlling the BurnersThe control knob can now be turned to the desired heat setting, Low, Medium or High. The control knob does not need to be pushed in while selecting the heat setting.

After UseIt 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.

  • Be sure to turn off all control knobs and the gas supply.
  • Allow the barbecue to cool.
  • Clean the fat collecting cup and cooking surfaces. Clean any food spills from the side shelves, if they are installed.
  • The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the appliance is not in use.

Storing Your BarbecueWhen storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all controls and cylinder valves are turned off. If storing the barbecue indoors remove gas cylinder and store the cylinder in a ventilated area outdoors. Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.The barbecue should be covered when not in use. Eg with a polyester or vinyl barbecue cover.
