Where To Put Your Barbeque
The Cucina Professional Build-In 5 Burner barbeque was designed to be installed into a dedicated enclosure,
provided that a few requirements are met:
• Adequate clearance around the barbeque must be provided. This ensures that the burners have a
supply of fresh air to operate correctly. Failure to provide enough fresh air to the burners can cause
the production of dangerous noxious gases.
• Adequate distance from combustible materials - The required clearances from combustible materials
are listed on the data plate on your barbeque. The enclosure itself must be made of non-combustible
material.
• Sufficient space behind the barbeque for the roasting hood to open freely.
In addition, where the cylinder is kept in an enclosed space underneath or near the barbeque, the following
must be observed:
• The cylinder must rest on a base to ensure that water will not accumulate, and that the cylinder is
clear of the surrounding soil.
• There must be at least 200cm
2
of ventilation openings per cylinder stored, at both the top and bottom
of the cylinder compartment, so that any accumulating gas can quickly escape to the outside air. The
lower ventilation should be within 15mm of the ground.
The diagram below shows the recommended cutout dimensions for the barbeque. Brackets to hold the
barbeque into a dedicated cavity are supplied with the applian
ce when you purchase it as a build in.
This
barbeque can also stand safely on the integral adjustable feet.
Barbeque Islands
Barbeques Galore have available an attractive pre-built island complete with optional table and sink/
fridge modules.
These modules are designed specifically for your Cucina Professional barbeque, with all required clearances
for aeration and hood opening observed. The barbeque module has a dedicated stand for a portable gas
cylinder, or alternatively, you can run a gas pipe or hose in the gap underneath the island for permanent
gas connections.
Most importantly, you must observe the clearances listed on the data sticker on your barbeque.
It will tell you how close you can put the barbeque to combustible surfaces (wood, gyprock, trees, wooden
fences etc). If you don’t follow these clearances, there is a chance that nearby surfaces will heat up and catch
fire. If you purchased your barbeque in a cart, you don’t need to be concerned with side clearances. The
barbeque-cart combination has been laboratory tested, and complies with relevant Australian Standards.
• Keep the barbeque sheltered from the wind. Wind interferes with the flames and can prevent your
barbeque from heating up properly and can even damage some components.
• Make sure the surface is level. This is safer, and makes cooking easier.
• Don’t put the barbeque too close to windows or anywhere else where cooking smoke is likely to
cause a problem.
