HOW TO CONNECT AND
USE THE NEW LCC27 LPG
CONNECTION*
*AUSTRALIAN DELIVERED BBQ’S ONLY

Introduction
This product is fitted with the new LCC27 regulator connection,
recently introduced by the Australian Government. It is easily
identified by the large plastic hand wheel.

This new LCC27 regulator can only be fitted to an LPG cylinder

with the new LCC27 valve, as shown right. It is easily identified
by the tall external threads.

If your LPG cylinder is not compatible, you can either exchange

it or buy a new cylinder.

Benefits of the new LCC27 cylinder connection

- Gas will NOT flow out of the cylinder until you connect
the LCC27 regulator, meaning that the new connection is
much safer than the previous connection.
- A built in excess flow device will limit the gas flow if the
gas hose was to split open

How to connect the LCC27 regulator to an LPG Cylinder

1. Turn the hand wheel clockwise until the hand wheel stops
turning.
2. Open the cylinder valve and conduct the gas leak test
(found on the next page)

GAS LEAK TEST
Gas connections on the barbecue are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment
however, a complete gas leak test must be performed during assembly. The
cylinder to regulator connection must be leak tested every time the connection is
made. In order to test for a gas leak, complete the following steps.

1. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water.

2. Ensure that the barbecue control knobs and LPG is turned off. Open the LPG
cylinder valve and apply the soap solution to the gas connections using a soft
bristle brush as seen below.
Hose and regulator Cylinder connection
connections

Barbecue connection

Soap bubbles will appear if there is a gas leak. In case of a leak, turn off the gas
supply. Tighten any leaking fittings, then turn the gas supply on and re-check.

Warning: Do not operate the appliance until all gas leaks have been rectified.
Never complete a gas leak test while smoking.

Note: If there is a leak anywhere on the gas cylinder, do not use the cylinder.
Locate the leaking cylinder outdoors away from sources of ignition, then contact
your local gas authority or cylinder exchange provider to arrange disposal.

GENERAL INFORMATION
– Note: Before using the BBQ, remove any packaging material within and around
the BBQ supplied for protection during transit.

– Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause

property damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operating and maintenance
instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.

– Strong winds and low temperatures can affect the heating and performance of
your BBQ so factor in these elements when positioning your BBQ outdoors for
cooking.

– Never use your BBQ in a garage, porch, shed, breezeway or any other enclosed
area. Your BBQ is to be used outdoors only,. Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation
air around the BBQ. This BBQ is not intended to be installed in or on recreational
vehicles and/or boats.

– Warning: accessible parts may be very hot. Keep young children away.

– Do not move the appliance during use.

– Any modification of the appliance may be dangerous.

– Do not replace the grill with an extra hotplate. The warranty will become null and
void.

– The normal flow of gas through the Regulator and Hose Assembly can create a
humming sound. A low volume of sound is perfectly normal and will not interfere
with operation of the BBQ. If humming sound is loud and excessive you may
need to purge air from the gas line.

– Do not store gas cylinders below ground level. LP gas is heavier than air so if a
leak occurs the gas will collect at a low level and could ignite in the presence of
a flame or spark.

– You must have the correct gas cylinder, regulator and hose for this BBQ to
operate safely and efficiently. Use of an incorrect gas cylinder, regulator or hose
is dangerous and will void the warranty on this product.

LIGHTING PROCEDURE
BEFORE STARTING
- Lighting the BBQ is easy, but must be done with due care.
- Make sure the LPG cylinder is filled.
- Make sure that gas is turned on at the cylinder, or that gas is available to the
BBQ.
- Check that the end of each burner tube is properly located over each valve
orifice.
- Make sure all gas connections are securely tightened.
- Open the hood or side burner lid.

TYPES OF IGNITION
MANUAL IGNITION (in case of lighting failure from BBQ ignition)
- With the hood or side burner lid open, place a lit match or long stem gas lighter
close to the burner you wish to light. Be cautious of the position of your hand
and ensure it remains a reasonable distance from the burner. Turn the control to
the “High” position. The burner should light. If it fails to light, return the control to
the “OFF” position and try again in five minutes.

FLAME THROWER IGNITION OF BBQ BURNERS

- The BBQ burners are equipped with automatic ignition. It works by throwing a
flame to the side of the burner to light. Push the knob in and turn anticlockwise
to the high position. You should hear and feel a click from the knob. Hold the
knob in and observe the flame extend towards the side of the burner. When the
burner ignites, release the control knob. If the burner doesn’t light on the first
attempt, return the knob to the “OFF” position and try several more times. If the
burner still does not light, wait a few minutes to allow the gas to disperse before
trying again.

SIDE BURNER IGNITION

- The side burner incorporates an electrode next to the side burner. To light the
side burner, simply push the side burner knob in and turn anticlockwise to the
high position. You should hear and feel a click from the knob. When the burner
ignites, release the control knob. If the burner doesn’t light on the first attempt,
return the knob to the “OFF” position and try several more times. If the burner
still does not light, wait a few minutes to allow the gas to disperse before trying
again.
USING THE BBQ
CONTROLLING THE FLAMES
The knobs have three basic positions. You can achieve any flame height between
low and high by rotating the knob between these positions.

OFF HIGH LOW

NOTE: ‘Light back’ is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner,
towards the front, recognized by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner.
It is not dangerous unless allowed to persist. If this occurs, simply turn the
burner off, wait a few minutes, and then relight.

COOKING FOR THE FIRST TIME

- IMPORTANT: Please add sand or fat absorption granules to the grease tray
before first use.

- We recommended you wash the cooking surfaces with soap and warm water
before use.

- The cooking plates are vitreous enamel coated and they do not require seasoning
like most other BBQs.

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 29

USING THE SMOKER BOX
The following steps are guide to getting
good lasting smoke from the wood
chips in your smoker box.

1. With the hood open and the burners

off, slide out the smoker box and fill
with your favourite wood chips.
Ensure the smoker box is not over
filled and the lid can close fully before
sliding back into the BBQ.

2. Ignite burners 3 and 4 (seen in the

below image on either side of the
smoker box) and turn to a medium
setting. Ensure the hood of the BBQ
remains open during this step.

Leave on medium for approximately

10 - 15 minutes or until you see white
smoke wafting from the grill plates.

3. When smoke has been achieved,

turn off burner 3, turn burner 4 to low
and turn on burner 1 to low. At this
stage, the lid of the BBQ can now be
closed and is ready for smoking your
favourite food.

You will receive approximately 20 - 25

minutes of smoke time. This depends
on the weather conditions and type of
wood chips used. BURNER LOCATION

at anytime. Be sure to use high 1 2 3 4

PERIODIC CLEANING
Your BBQ will look better and last longer if you keep it clean.
You should check the burners periodically for any sort of blockage. To do this, remove and inspect
them. If any of the holes are clogged, gently tap the burner onto a hard surface to remove residue.
Use a wire brush to unclog the holes.
Grease can build up on the frame itself. Most of it can be cleaned off with hot water. Use a
non-caustic cleanser for more stubborn stains.
You should empty the fat / drip tray frequently. Never touch the fat / drip tray until the BBQ and fat
have cooled down completely.
A build up of grease, fat and carbon are flammable and a lack of regular cleaning can result in a fire.
Check the smoker tray for a build up of residue periodically or whenever you clean your BBQ.

ABNORMAL OPERATION
Abnormal operation which may require service can be identified by the following:

1/ A yellow burner flame

2/ A thick, black build-up of soot.
3/ Control valves that seize or are difficult to turn.
4/ Burners which are difficult to light.
If the BBQ fails to operate correctly, contact an authorised service person for repair.

HANDY BBQ TIPS

- Ensure your BBQ is level before use so excess fat and oil can freely flow to the oil
cup in the front of the BBQ.

- If food debris falls into the valleys of the cooking grill and prevents flow to the oil
cup, use the supplied Scraper Tool to quickly clear the valleys.

- Preheat the grill before cooking for perfect sear marks every time.

- Always keep a spare LPG cylinder filled and ready to go but never store the spare
cylinder near the BBQ.

- Use BBQ wipes to wipe down the shiny black ceramic coated panels inside the
BBQ before cooking. The Matte black panels inside the BBQ are Pyrolytic self-
cleaning panels and they don’t require wiping.

- Always keep the solid plate on the right, directly above the smoker/flavour tray to
ensure the smoker/flavor tray is always free of fat and grease residue.

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 37

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE INFO
- Note: Remember to turn off and disconnect the gas before any maintenance is
carried out.

- If your BBQ uses a flexible hose to connect to the gas cylinder, check the rubber
O-ring on the regulator end of the hose assembly at least once a year. If it appears
worn or cracked, have it replaced. Only use the hose supplied by the manufacturer.

- We recommend having your BBQ checked by an authorised service agent every

5 years. This is to ensure there are no leaks and that all components are still
functioning correctly.

- Keep the outdoor gas BBQ area clear and free from combustible materials, petrol,
and other flammable vapours or liquids.

- Make sure there is no obstruction surrounding the BBQ, which may block the flow
of combustion and ventilation air.

- To maintain the surface of your hotplate and grill plate, it is recommended to

periodically wash cooking surfaces with a mild soap and warm water solution.
Afterwards keep the hotplate and grill plate oiled and covered with the hood when
not in use. A BBQ cover (not included) is also recommended to cover your BBQ
and maintain and protect from all weather conditions.

- Regularly change the sand / fat absorption granules in the drip tray.

CONNECTING TO
NATURAL GAS
This BBQ has been configured for use with LPG from a gas cylinder. If you want to
connect this BBQ to a permanent Natural Gas supply, the following steps must be
undertaken.
1. Contact a licensed plumber or gas fitter and arrange a quote to convert this
BBQ to Natural Gas and supply any pipework necessary to bring the natural gas
supply line to the BBQ installation area. All works must be made in accordance
with AS5601.1.

2. Contact Pacific Gas & Heating Pty Ltd directly on Tel: 1300 793978 or email
service@pacifictrends.com.au to order your gas conversion kit.

3. Obtain a certificate of compliance from your licensed gas fitter.

Natural Gas Conversion Procedure

Gas conversion must be conducted by a licensed plumber or gas fitter only.

1. Remove the main BBQ Burners.

2. Remove LPG injectors from all the main burner valves and replace with Natural
Gas Injectors. The natural gas injector size is 1.8mm on the main burners.

3. Install BBQ Burners.

4. Set the side burner aeration shutter to 4mm open.

5. Remove the side burner valve and replace it with the side burner valve for
Natural Gas. Replace the side burner injector with the 1.8mm side burner
injector for Natural Gas.

6. Remove 2.75kPa LPG hose and regulator assembly and replace with the
stainless steel braided hose and adapter fitting to ½”BSP, and the ½”BSP
Natural gas regulator with 1.0kPa operating pressure.
7. Apply the Natural Gas type label over the Propane label.

8. Permanently fix the BBQ to the floor in the installed position using the supplied
fixing bracket, which slots into the LPG Cylinder hole on freestanding BBQs.
This ensures the BBQ cannot move and strain the gas supply lines.

9. Leak test all connections.

10. Before leaving, test the operation of all burners on high and low to complete the
commissioning process. This involves removal of the knobs to access the screw
adjustable low flame by pass to set a stable low flame.

11. Instruct the consumer on correct use of the BBQ and the location of the gas
supply isolation valve which shall be closed after each use.

12. If the BBQ is supplied with a duplicate data label, apply this label in the
immediate vicinity of the BBQ in an easily accessible area.

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL 41

TIPS TO PREVENT FAT
FIRES
1. If flare ups occur, alternate between cooking on the open grill and solid plate, and
reduce the heat under the open grill.

2. Cook with a mix of meats. Fatty chump chops are loaded with flammable fats so
be mindful to use appropriate temperatures when cooking foods prone to catch
alight.

3. Monitor the amount of grease in the tray because if there is a build up of grease,
this may catch alight as a result of a flare up.

4. Use a fat absorber product specifically for BBQ’s, and change the fat absorber
contents in the grease tray well before the fat absorber is overloaded with grease
because fat absorber which is overloaded with grease is flammable.

5. Never allow the BBQ to overheat, always monitor the temperate of your BBQ at
all times, even during preheating.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE

There is a common misconception that Stainless Steel does not rust, however this
is not entirely true. The use of harsh cleaners on stainless steel strip the metal of
any oil or protective agents which may prevent corrosion. Even the highest grades
of stainless steel will show signs of corrosion and even rust if neglected.

Regularly maintain the external stainless steel surfaces of your BBQ with a stainless-
steel cleaner and protector available from most supermarkets. If the BBQ requires a
stronger cleaning agent, use a mild dish washing soap, hot water and a soft cloth,
rinse and dry thoroughly, then apply stainless steel cleaner and protector to the
external surfaces.

Salt water and corrosive atmospheres can rapidly degrade and permanently damage
your stainless-steel BBQ. In this type of harsh environment, your BBQ will require
more regular cleaning and applications of stainless-steel cleaner and protector.

We recommend the use of a BBQ weather cover to protect your BBQ from the
elements.
