of the hose should touch any hot barbecue
parts. Always inspect the hose for cuts,
cracks, or excessive wear before use. If the
hose is damaged, it must be replaced with
hose suitable for use with LPG and meet the
national standards for the country of use.
The length of the hose shall not exceed
1.5m.
N.B.-The date on the orange hose (if
supplied) is the date of manufacture, not the
expiry date.
G3. Connecting a Gas Hose to the
Barbecue
Connect the gas hose to the gas rail inlet on
the left hand side of the barbecue. Do not
overtighten. Do not use any sealing tape or
liquid on the connection.
G4. Fixing a Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the
off position. Connect the regulator to the gas
bottle according to your regulator and bottle
dealer’s instructions.
G5. Leak Testing (To be performed in a
well-ventilated area.)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off
position. Detach the barbecue control panel
located across the front of the barbecue body
by pulling off the control knobs and removing
the control panel retaining screws. Open the
gas control valve on the bottle or regulator.
Check for leaks by brushing a solution of ½
water and ½ soap over all gas system joints,
including all valve connections, hose
connections and regulator connections.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for
leaks at anytime. If bubbles form over any of
the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas
supply and retighten all joints. Repeat test. If
bubbles form again, do not use the
barbecue. Please contact your local dealer
for assistance. Leak test annually, and
whenever the gas bottle is removed or
replaced.

This barbecue is not designed to be used
with more than 50% of the cooking area
as a solid plate. Full coverage of plates
will cause excessive build-up of heat and
damage the barbecue. This is not
covered by warranty.
H2. Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the
porcelain, please use a long handled brush
to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable
oil before each barbecuing session. Line the
drip tray with aluminium foil, then place a
uniform layer of clean, dry sand 1cm deep
into the tray. This will absorb excess cooking
fat, thus making cleanup easy.
