General
5.1
Please refer to figures 1 to 3 in addition to the written instruction.
5.2
The
Jetmaster
BIB unit should preferably be built in at the initial stages of
construction. Later installation of the BIB results in more and unnecessary
work and patching. When installing the 1500 or 1200 barbecue box, the
support pins for the lower door must remain free to move .
5.3
The face of the unit should not be recessed more than 150 mm behind the
face of the brickwork or plaster.
5.4
When installing the barbeque, choose a comfortable height for the grilling
surface, based on the height of the person who will usually be operating it.
If this is not known, a height of approximately 1000 mm to 1 200 mm from
finished floor level to the grilling surface is generally suitable.
5.5
It is preferable to support the 1500 and 1200 Super De Luxe models
primarily along their bottom side and back edges. If most of the weight of
these units is taken centrally, the base of the barbecue box may tend to bow
upwards.
5.6
If storage space is required beneath the barbecue box for chopped wood,
untensils, etc, the box should be supported on pre-pressed concrete lintels.
Positioned directly under and extending beyond the sides of the box to rest
on the supporting structure, these lintels will take the weight of the
brickwork chimney above. Refer to Fig. 8.
5.7
A grill is attached to the back plate of the motor box. Where feasible this
should be connected to an outside vent, such as a small pipe or similar. This
will provide a through draught, thereby reducing the build-up of excessive
heat in the motor box.
Insulation
5.8
In order to reduce heat transfer from the barbecue box to the surrounding
brickwork and provide an expansion joint to prevent cracking of masonry
or plaster once the unit is in use, your
Jetmaster
barbecue box and smoke
gather must be insulated with fibreglass. Care has to be taken that the
fibreglass does not get into the inside of the smoke gather where it will
disturb the smoke flow. Refer to Fig. 8.
5.9
Insulation material should not be compressed more than necessary. A
convenient material can be used to hold the fibreglass in place during
construction, if needed.
