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.
