EFFICIENTLY. USE OF AN INCORRECT OR
FAULTY REGULATOR IS DANGEROUS AND

consult your local gas dealer for the most
suitable gas bottles and regulators.
7. Installation
7.1. Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for
outdoor use only
and
should be placed in a well-ventilated area, and
on a safe and even surface. Never place your
barbecue below ground level. Take care
to
ensure that it is not placed UNDER any
combustible surface. The sides of the barbecue
should NEVER be closer than 1 metre from any
combustible surface, including trees and fences
and that there are no heat sources near the
barbecue (cigarettes, open flames, spark etc.).
Keep this barbecue away from any flammable
materials!
7.2. Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body.
Should you need to install or change the gas
bottle, confirm that the barbecue is switched off,
and that there are no sources of ignition
(cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near
before proceeding.
The casters should always have the brakes on
when the barbecue is in use.
7.3. 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, paste
or liquid on the connection.
7.4. 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.

INFORMATION section of this manual.

Your barbecue is not designed to be used
with more than 50% of the cooking area as a
solid plate — this includes baking dishes.
Full coverage will cause excessive build-up
of heat and damage the barbecue. This is
not covered by warranty.
8.2. Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking
surface, please use a long handled brush to
apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil
before each barbecuing session.
(Note:
When cooking for the first time, paint colours
may change slightly as a result. This is normal
and should be expected.)
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.
