5. Important Information
Please read these instructions carefully
before assembly and use of your barbecue.
Retain
these
instructions
for
future
reference.
This product is for outdoor use only. Do not
use indoors.
Do not use the barbecue or store gas bottles
below ground level. LP gas is heavier than
air so if a leak occurs the gas will collect at a
low level and could ignite in the presence of
a flame or spark.
For use with LPG bottled gas only. A
suitable regulator must be used for butane,
propane or mixes.
Remove plastic wrap from any part before
lighting.
Do not use within 1m of any flammable
structure or surface. Do not use under any
combustible surface.
LP gas bottles should never be placed
directly underneath the barbecue.
LP gas bottles should never be stored or
used laid on their side, in the horizontal
position. A leak would be very serious and
liquid could enter the gas line with serious
result.
Never store gas bottles indoors.
Open the barbecue hood before lighting.
Once lit, do not move the barbecue until it
has completely cooled, after use.
This barbecue must not be left unattended
when lit.
The hood or lid handle can become very hot.
Grip only the centre of the handle. Always
use oven gloves when cooking or carrying
out any adjustments to the barbecue.
Use purpose designed barbecue tools with
long, heat resistant handles.
Use Caution when opening hood or lid, as
hot steam inside is released upon opening.
Parts of this barbecue become very hot –
care must be taken, especially when
children, elderly people, and animals are
present.
Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle
after use.
Never cover a barbecue until it has
completely cooled.
Use this barbecue only on a stable, flat
surface.
Before you use your barbecue, perform a

to detect any gas leaking from joints and
connections of the barbecue after assembly.
Leak test annually, and whenever the gas
bottle is removed or replaced.

6. 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°C. A
spanner may be required to change gas bottles.
The hose should hang freely with no bends,
twisting, tension, folds, or kinks that could
obstruct free flow 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.
A suitable hose must comply with ISO3821,
and the length should not exceed 1.5
metres.
For optimal performance, we suggest to use a
13kg or 15kg gas bottle. A suitable regulator
must comply with EN12864. 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
