INSTALLING YOUR BARBECUE
The Barbecue Cavity
Your barbecue has been designed to sit into a cavity or cutout
rather than be placed directly onto a flat surface. It is important
that the dimensions of the cavity conform exactly to those listed
on page 18. This will ensure the barbecue sits correctly in the
cavity, and that the barbecue has sufficient ventilation to operate
efficiently and safely. The dimensions of the construction also
provide approximately 75mm behind the rear of the barbecue to
allow the hood to open freely.
In creating the cavity, you should ensure that you have convenient
access to the gas connection point and associated hardware:
•
If the gas for your barbecue is supplied by a portable gas
bottle, you will need access to the gas connection point, the
gas hose and the gas cylinder at all times.
•
If the gas for your barbecue is supplied by a fixed piped gas
supply (either natural gas or 45kg LPG cylinders), you will
need access to the gas connection point, the piping and the
shutoff valve.
The Cylinder Compartment
If the gas for your barbecue is to be supplied by a portable LPG/
propane cylinder, you will need to ensure that adequate provision is
made to house the cylinder safely. The following must be adhered
to:
Keep out of heat: The cylinder and hose must be sheltered from the
sun’s direct heat. The flexible PVC hose assembly supplied must not
be exposed to
temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F). DO NOT allow the hose to
come in contact with the hot surface of the barbecue body.
Keep cylinder upright: The cylinder must be housed securely. It
must remain upright at all times. It can be either attached to a firm
vertical wall by a cylinder bracket, or stored on a firm level base.
Requirements for cylinder base:: If the cylinder is to be stored on a
flat base, the base must be made from non-combustible material.
Soil or grass is not an appropriate surface. Ensure there is adequate
drainage, and that water cannot collect around the cylinder.
Requirements for cylinder compartment: Where the cylinder is to
be kept inside an enclosure, you must ensure there is 200 square
centimetres of open ventilation at each of the top and the bottom of
the enclosure, for each cylinder stored in it. This prevents leaking
gas from building up in a confined space. Gas vapour is highly
explosive and can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property
if allowed to accumulate in a confined space and ignited.
Lower The Barbecue Into Position
When lowering the barbecue onto the brickwork, do not push the
barbecue back as far as it will go. Ensure there is at least 40mm
clearance behind the rear of the barbecue to allow for proper
ventilation.
