Hose & Regulator Safety
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the
barbecue are suitable for Propane Gas.
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 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 well
ventilated location, preferably outside, away from people
and away from any sources of ignition; such as naked
flames, pilot flames, electric heaters/equipment.
Gas Cylinder Use & Safety
This is a low pressure barbecue and must only be used
with the regulator supplied. Your barbecue is designed
for use with 4.5Kg or 9Kg propane gas cylinders certified
to AS 2469.
The gas 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 gas cylinder to excessive heat.
NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER

If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS disconnect
the gas cylinder first and store the cylinder 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.
