Connect one end of the copper tube to the flexible hose and regulator,
these parts are all supplied with the gas braai. The regulator should be fitted
to the gas cylinder by means of a nut which has to be turned anti- clockwise
to screw into the gas bottle. Check that the rubber seal is not damaged or
perished and ensure that the regulator is correctly orientated. If the plastic
cap on the regulator faces upwards, liquids may collect on the regulator
resulting in internal components rusting and consequent malfunctioning.

The pipework must now be purged prior to connecting to the gas braai to
remove any rubbish that might of collected in the copper pipe. It is
advisable to form a loop of copper tube to allow for movement before
connecting to the gas compression fitting on the left hand side of the grill.
This can be done with two spanners taking care not to over tighten the nut.
Once connected carefully push the grill into the braai box making sure you
do not kink or damage the copper pipe.
6.9
Test all joints for leaks by opening the gas cylinder valve and apply a
solution of soap and water to the joints making sure that they are dry when
finished testing. Never use a flame to test for leaks.
6.10
It is essential to provide adequate ventilation for indoor installations. A free
flow of air into the room is needed to compensate for air consumed in
burning of the gas, as well as a flue for expelling the fumes when operating
the grill.
