BEFORE USE
CONNECTING THE GAS BOTTLE
You will need to purchase a LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) bottle to operate this barbecue. This can
be obtained from your nearest gas retailer.
1.
When changing your gas bottle, ensure that there are no sources of ignition close by i.e.
fires, cigarettes, naked flame etc. Make sure that the barbecue is switched off.
2.
Make sure the regulator switch is in the off position (3 o’clock position) – there will be an
audible ‘click’.
3.
Push the regulator down onto the cylinder valve and press downwards firmly until you hear
the regulator ‘click’ into place.
4.
Position the gas bottle at the side of your barbecue, not underneath.
• The bottle must be kept away from heat.
• NEVER STORE THE GAS BOTTLE INSIDE THE COMPARTMENT.
• Ensure that the hose is free from any kinks or bends which will affect the gas flow.
• The hose must not have undue tension and must not touch any part of the barbecue
which may be hot.
5.
Check for leaks (see below)
DISCONNECTING THE GAS BOTTLE
1.
Turn the regulator switch clockwise to the off position.
2.
Press the button beneath the regulator switch to remove the regulator from the gas bottle.
GAS LEAK TEST
Always do a gas leak test before you use the barbecue. Test for leaks on all connections as
follows:
1.
Connect the LPG bottle to the barbecue and close all the valves by turning the control
knobs to "OFF" position.
2.
Put soapy water on all of the gas connections.
3.
Open the gas valve on the LPG bottle.
4.
Set the regulator switch to the on position (straight up).
• If bubbles are seen, tighten the connection, if the bubbles are still seen, go to your
retailer for help. Never use a barbecue that is leaking gas.
5.
Clear all soapy water on the connections after testing using a wet towel.
• This MUST be done when first connecting the barbecue and every time the gas bottle is
changed.
WARNING: NEVER LEAVE THE REGULATOR ATTACHED TO THE GAS BOTTLE IF
DISCONNECTED FROM THE GAS HOSE.
WARNING: NEVER USE A NAKED FLAME TO DO THE LEAK TEST.
