E. Gas and Regulator
This barbecue can use only propane LPG bottled
gas. Propane bottles will supply gas all year round,
even on cold winter days. A spanner may be required
to change gas bottles. The bottle should never be
stood on the trolley base and placed directly under
the barbecue. Gas bottles should never be stored or
used laid on their side. Never store gas bottles
indoors.
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.
F. Installation
F1. Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should be
placed in a well-ventilated area. 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. Keep
this barbecue away from any flammable materials!
F2. Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body. Secure the gas bottle on the cylinder
holder and always tighten it with the black strap
provided. Should you need to 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. Inspect
the gas hose to ensure it is free of any twisting or
tension. The hose should hang freely with no bends,
folds, or kinks that could obstruct free flow of gas.
Apart from the connection point, no part 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 U.K.
hose is the date of manufacture, not the expiry date.
F3. Fixing the 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.
F4. Leak Testing (To be performed in a well-
ventilated area.)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position. 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 your barbecue
annually. Check the hose connections are tight and
leak test them each time you reconnect the gas
bottle.
