Heatlie BBQ Flat Plate

Heatlie BBQs are the toughest barbeques in the world.

Originally designed for professional chefs, the full range of Heatlie BBQs are now available for you to enjoy at home. Available in 3 sizes and a choice of stainless steel or powder coated finish, you’re bound to find a Heatlie BBQ which looks fantastic in your outdoor kitchen or backyard. All Heatlie barbeques feature our unique burner system which uses precision machined burners to produce a more even heat than other barbecues.

Powder Coated BBQ

Heatlie Mobile powder coated barbeque, as pictured, shows the 700 size with splashback, warming drawer and end tables.

All Heatlie BBQ’s have two burners running right to left, with the controls on the right hand side. Solid 5mm, 10mm and 20mm mild steel hotplates are available. Stainless Steel hotplates are also manufactured in our factory.

All Heatlie BBQs feature automatic Dual Piezo ignition and removable legs. Heatlie BBQs can be made to suit Natural or LP gas. Available in three sizes; 700mm, 850mm and 1150mm (the size indicates the length of the hotplate.)

The Powder Coated finish is available in Burgandy and Black.

Stainless Steel BBQ

Stainless Steel BBQs are available in 3 sizes, 700mm, 850mm and 1150mm (the size indicates the length of the hotplate.)

Heatlie BBQ Hotplates

Heatlie manufacture a range of hotplates to suit many applications and personal preferences. We recommend a 10mm mild steel plate for any commercial application or where the BBQ may be lit for any period of time.

The 5mm mild steel plate will suit most domestic situations, but if for any reason the bbq will be left heating without food on the plate for longer than 5 minutes, you are best to choose the 10mm version.

Many customers request a stainless steel hotplate, and while this may not be the best option for heat transfer, they prefer the properties stainless steel provides.

To ensure a good cooking surface for your Heatlie BBQ for the lifetime of your bbq, begin with seasoning the Heatlie hotplate by following the instructions in your new bbq package. This will ensure food does not stick to the plate and will protect from corrosion as well.

Barbecue Assembly
Note: If Warming Drawer is being used, this needs to be fitted now. Pleaserefer to “Assembly of Heatlie Accessories – Warming Drawer” before commencing.

1. Twist out thumbscrews on corner of cook-top for enough so as not to interfere with the insertion of the legs.
2. The legs with Gas Bottle Bracket belong at the end where the gas controls are located.
3. You will need to either:
   1. Place the BBQ, plate side down, on the ground, then install legs as follows then with a one person either end of the BBQ, turn up the right way and rest on legs
   2. OR Have 2 people holding the BBQ, one person to hold the handle on one end and the other to hold the control panel on the other end, lift the BBQ above the height of the legs and have a 3 rd person insert the legs.
4. Install legs by pushing them up into the corner stubs of the barbecue.
5. Ensure legs penetrate past the thumbscrew level and then tighten the thumbscrews.
6. Legs can be slightly raised using thumbscrews to achieve slight fall on cook-top for fat drainage.

Once final leveling is achieved keep thumbscrews tightened – this keeps unit rigid and prevents legs dropping when moving unit.

Gas Bottle and Line Fittings

1. Gas Bottle: Hang gas bottle on the brackets provided. The handle at the top of the bottle sits over the bent brackets.
2. Regulator: Connect the regulator to the bottle, and the flexible hose to the Barbecue nozzle fitting at base of burner controls (3 BSP fitting).
   Note: this is a low pressure appliance and a pressure regulator must be used.
   You cannot connect this LPG barbecue directly to a natural gas supply.
   (The Heatlie BBQ can be easily converted for use with Natural Gas.)
3. Gas Line Fittings: Use a spanner to tighten the flexible hose to the barbecue (right hand thread). Do not over tighten. Tighten gas bottle connection with fingers ( left hand thread). Keep gas line away from potential hot surfaces.
4. Leak Test: With the gas line connected to the controller unit – turn gas on at bottle and check for leaks. Use soapy water – brush over joints on gas bottle and connection at controller unit and watch for bubbles.
