Gas, Regulator and Hose

This barbecue can use either propane or butane or propane / butane mixed LPG (liquid
petroleum gas) bottled gas. Propane bottles, will supply gas all year round, even on
cold winter days. Butane bottles will supply sufficient gas in summer, but it may affect
the performance of the barbecue and restrict the heat output available from the burners,
particularly once the gas temperature starts to fall below +10

e

C. A spanner may be

required to change gas bottles. Check that you have the correct gas bottle and regulator
for your barbecue.

Do not stand the bottle inside the trolley cabinet.

The hose should hang freely with no bends, twisting, tension, folds, or kinks that
could obstruct free 

fl

ow of gas. Always inspect the hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive

wear before use.
Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot barbecue
parts. If the hose shows any sign of damage it must be replaced with a hose suitable
for use with LP gas which meets the national standards for the country of use.
The length of hose should not exceed 1.5 metres. 

YOU MUST HAVE THE PROPER REGULATOR AND BOTTLE IN ORDER FOR THE
BARBECUE TO OPERATE SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. USE OF AN INCORRECT OR
FAULTY REGULATOR IS DANGEROUS AND WILL INVALIDATE ANY WARRANTY.
Please consult your local gas dealer for the most suitable gas bottles and regulators.
