Gas Installation Codes

• Barbecues must be used in accordance with the 

installation requirements of your gas supply authority, 
or the Australian Standard AS 5601.

• Barbecues for use with bottled gas are labelled  

‘propane gas’ or ‘universal L.P.G.’.

• Barbecues for use with natural gas are labelled  

‘natural gas’ and must be installed by an authorised 
person. Check the gas type sticker attached to the 
barbecue.

Clearances

Minimum Clearances from combustible materials must 
be: Rear - 100mm,  Sides - 100mm,  Above - 1000mm

Hose & Regulator Safety

The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the 
barbecue are suitable for propane gas only. A gas 
regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75kPA 
is supplied for connection to the propane gas cylinder. 
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied 
with the barbecue must be used. Replacement pressure 
regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified 
by the barbecue manufacturer. 
When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the 
gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting or 
kinking of the flexible hose.
After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas 
and check for leaks by brushing a soap and water 
solution over all connections.
If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the 
connections, turn off the gas and contact the supplier 
immediately.
Always ensure the barbecue is kept away from flammable 
materials and the gas cylinder clear of any heat source. 
When changing over from an empty gas cylinder to a full 
one make sure this procedure is carried out in a flame 
free atmosphere.

Specifications

Barbecue specifications can be found on the  
data label attached to the barbecue body. Hose 
connection thread at gas inlet is 1/4” - BSP.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Gas Cylinder Use & Safety

This is a low pressure barbecue and must only be used 
with the hose and regulator supplied. Your barbecue is 
designed for use with 9Kg propane gas cylinders certified 
to AS 2469.
The cylinder should be filled by a reputable gas supplier 
and visually inspected and re-qualified at each filling.
Always keep cylinder in an upright position. Always close 
the cylinder valve when the barbecue is not in use.
Do not subject the cylinder to excessive heat.

Never Store your Gas Cylinder Indoors.

If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS disconnect 
the cylinder first and store it safely outside. Cylinders 
must be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area out of 
reach of children, and must not be stored in a building, 
garage or any other enclosed area.

Location of your Barbecue

breezeways, or other enclosed areas. Your barbecue is to 
be used OUTDOORS. The barbecue is not intended to be 
installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats and 
should not be placed under any surface that will burn. Do 
not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air 
around the barbecue housing.

Check Barbecue for any Damage

replacement of any damaged or missing parts.  
Do not operate a barbecue that appears damaged. 
Barbecues for use with gas cylinders are labelled 
‘propane gas’. Check labelling at the gas connection on 
your barbecue.
