13. LPG cylinder: a common camping LPG cylinder with a fill weight of 3,5 or 11 kg(e.g. grey camping LPG
cylinder). These are available at DIY shops or LPG gas suppliers.
14. Pressure regulator: preset and CE approved pressure regulator,max.1.5kg/h, operating pressure suitable for
the LPG cylinder used. This type of pressure reducer is also available from your local dealer.
15. Gas hose: CE approved hose of sufficient length, allowing installation without any kinks, shall not exceed 1.5m.
It’s recommended to change the flexible hose when the national conditions require it or depending on its
validity.
DANGER
To prevent fire or explosion hazard when testing for a leak:
1. Always perform the leak test before lighting the grill and each time the cylinder is connected for use.
2. Do not smoke or allow other sources of ignition in the area while conducting a leak test.
3. Conduct the leak test outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
4. Do not use matches, lighters or a flame to check for leaks.
5. Do not use grill until all leaks have been stopped. If you are unable to stop a leak, disconnect the LPG gas
supply, call for gas appliance service or your local LPG gas supplier.
Regulator and Hose
Use only regulators and hose approved for LPG at the above pressures (See Page 4). The life expectancy of the
regulator is estimated as 10 years. It is recommended that the regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of
manufacture.
The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before operating the
barbecue.
The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. The length of the hose must be 1.5
meters (maximum). Worn or damaged hose must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in
contact with any part of the barbecue other than at its connection.
The hose should not be twisted or kinked when attached to the LPG cylinder. No part of the hose should touch any
part of the appliance. So site the cylinder out to the left hand side of the appliance at the maximum distant permitted
by the hose length.
Checking for Leaks
1. Perform leak testing in a well-ventilated area;
2. Make two to three oz. of leak solution by mixing one part liquid dishwashing soap with three parts water.
3.
Make sure control knob is in the “OFF” position.
4. Spray some solution on the regulator connection. Any leakage will show as bubbles in the area of the leak.
5. Inspect the solution at the connections for bubbles. If no bubbles appear, the connection is secure.
6. If bubbles appear, or you can still smell gas, you have a leak. Go to step 7.
7. Disconnect the LPG cylinder and reconnect.
8. Do not operate any electrical appliances. Make sure the connection is secure.
9. Retest with solution.
10. If you continue to see bubbles, replace the LPG cylinder.
11.
If leak is still found and you can’t deal it with the above methods. Turn off LPG gas supply and consult your gas
dealer or barbecue supplier for advice.
