Safe Location
Do not use barbecue indoors. This is an outdoor cooking
appliance. It must only be used outdoors, and must not
be used in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or
flammable liquids or vapours within 45 cm (18”) of
barbecue.
This barbecue is not designed for marine use, and shall
not be installed on a boat or any `marine craft.
Keep the barbecue and cylinder well ventilated. Do not
obstruct the flow of air around the barbecue, as this is
required for proper combustion.
For built-in situations, allow adequate ventilation for the
barbecue and cylinder, and adequate protection from
adverse weather.
Allow clear access to the entire gas supply hose and
regulator.
Use your barbecue only on a level surface.
Gas Cylinder Safety
Do not install the gas cylinder beneath the barbecue
unless in conjunction with an approved trolley.
Keep the cylinder protected from heat.
Only one gas cylinder may be attached to the appliance
at any one time.
When using an LPG supply system (eg portable LPG
cylinder) in an enclosure, ventilation must be provided.
Keep ventilation opening of any cylinder enclosure clear
and free of any debris. 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.
Have the gas cylinder filled by an authorised LPG
supplier.
Close the gas cylinder valve after each use.
Do not smoke or use a naked flame near the gas cylinder
while disconnecting the gas line between the appliance
and gas cylinder.
Do not use a rusty or dented gas cylinder or cylinder with
a damaged gas valve.
Do not fill the gas cylinder beyond 80% capacity.
Do not store gas cylinder indoors, or in any enclosed

appliance.
Safe Care and Maintenance
Keep your barbecue clean. In particular:
After cooking turn barbecue to high for up to 10
•
minutes to burn off excess grease.
Let the barbecue cool before replacing any lid or cover.
•
•
Regularly empty and clean grease receptacle.
•
Clean the appliance at least twice annually.
•
Check main opening, throat and venturi to each burner
and pilot flame tube regularly for insect nests (eg.
wasp, ants or spiders). Nests are dangerous and must
be cleaned out thoroughly.
•
Do not use caustic based cleaning agents on the
barbecue.
Check all gas hoses and line connections for damage,
cuts or cracks each time the appliance is to be used.
Do not attempt to modify the appliance. Any modification
to this appliance may be dangerous.
Do not attempt to dismantle or adjust control valves or
regulator.
If there is a fire
Most fires are caused by a build up of grease, or by an
improper gas connection.
Ensure all people and pets are kept as far away as
possible.
If you are able, turn the gas off at the cylinder or for
piped installations, the on/off valve.
Use a fire extinguisher if possible. If water is the only
fire retardant available, thoroughly soak the area around
the appliance. When spraying water on the barbecue
itself, do not use a strong jet of water, as this may
cause splashing of burning grease, resulting in a further
spreading of the fire. Rather spray lightly over the frame
cooking surfaces to cool the appliance below ignition
temperature.
Caution: Electrical Warning
If your barbecue incorporates an electrical component,
such as a rotisserie, then it must be electrically grounded
in accordance with local codes. The electric cord must
be equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug. Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply
hose away from any heated surfaces.
If an external electrical source is utilised, this outdoor
cooking appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with the local codes or, in the
absence of local codes with the following:
USA: National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
CAN: Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1
AUS: Aust Standards Code AS:5601
USA
Fuels used in gas or oil-fired appliances, and the
products of combustion of such fuels, contain chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects and / or other reproductive harm. This warning is
issued pursuant to the California Health & Safety Code
Sec. 25249.6.
Should the appliance go out for any reason, turn off all control knobs and the cylinder gas valve. Wait 5

Locating Your Barbecue
Most importantly, this is an outdoor appliance. Ensure your barbecue is positioned safely away from
anything that can catch fire.
Indoor Use Only: Under no circumstances is this barbecue to be used indoors. This includes garages or any
other enclosed area.
Clearance From Combustibles: Ensure your barbecue remains at a distance of at least 45 cm (18”) from any
combustible material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline
or flammable liquids or vapours within 45 cm (18”) of the barbecue.
Adequate Ventilation: Ensure there is adequate ventilation for both the barbecue and cylinder. This is required
not only for proper combustion, but also to prevent gas build up.
Firm Level Surface: Use your barbecue only on a firm level surface. This barbecue is not designed for
recreational vehicles, and shall not be installed on a boat or any marine craft.
Protection From Weather: Keep the barbecue protected from adverse weather, including rain and high winds.
Polyvinyl covers are available that have been specially designed for this range of barbecues.
Allow clear access to the entire gas supply hose and regulator.
Maintenance Access: When your barbecue is installed, you should be able to access the gas supply line
including the gas piping or hose, gas regulator, gas cylinder and any shut off valves.
Partial Enclosures: Many backyards have areas that are partially closed off, such as balconies and pergolas. In
some cases, it is hard to decide whether these partially enclosed areas should be classified as indoor areas,
particularly in terms of permanent (non-closable) ventilation. The gas safety authorities have agreed on the
definition of partial enclosures below.
Partial Enclosures (Australia Only)
This appliance shall only be used in an above ground, open air situation with natural ventilation, without
stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural
convection. Any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:
Any enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least
one permanent opening at ground level, and no
overhead cover.
A common example is an enclosed back yard.
Typically, the walls are less than 3m high. If they
are higher, there is a danger of gas build up.
The barbecue may be within a partial enclosure
that includes an overhead cover and more than
Within a partial enclosure that
includes an overhead cover
and no more than two walls.
A common example is an
outdoor gazebo.
two walls, the following shall apply:
At least 25% of the total wall area is
•
completely open; and
at least 30% of the remaining wall area is
•
open and unrestricted.
In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the
total of the side, back and front wall areas shall
be and remain open and unrestricted.

Installation Options
Before proceeding, you need to establish the gas type which your barbecue will run on, and the style
of installation you need.
GAS AUTHORITY FOR CONFIRMATION OF GAS
Natural Gas or LPG/Propane
Before beginning installation or assembly, check that the gas type which the
barbecue is designed for is correct for the gas available to you. In most countries
the choices are natural gas or LPG/propane. You will find the gas type label on
the side of your barbecue. If your barbecue uses the incorrect gas type, or if you
are unsure, consult your dealer before going any further. Using the wrong type of
gas for a barbecue is extremely dangerous.
Natural Gas Conversion: Most newly purchased barbecues are made for LPG/
propane. A natural gas conversion kit is available to allow your barbecue to run on
natural gas.
Fixed (Piped) Installations
Piped Natural Gas: Although installation costs are higher, this is typically the least expensive way to run
your barbecue. Natural gas is delivered via pipeline to a gas meter near the
perimeter of your home. From the gas meter, gas is taken by a further series
of pipes to each appliance that uses natural gas.
Piped LPG/Propane: Some properties do not have natural gas available to
them. In these cases, the local gas supply company may be able to provide
two 45 Kg (100 lb) cylinders permanently installed on the outside of your
home. These are refilled for you by the gas company based on your usage
patterns. Copper pipe is then run from these cylinders to each appliance that
uses LPG/propane.
There are two methods of connecting the gas to your barbecue, both of which
require the services of a licensed gas fitter:
For built in (ie non-mobile) installations, the barbecue inlet can be connected directly to copper piping.
•
From here the barbecue cannot be moved.
The copper piping can terminate in a “bayonet point” on a wall or other structure. A special hose and
•
terminator allows the barbecue to be connected and disconnected from the bayonet point safely and
conveniently. This allows the barbecue to be moved if necessary.

Portable LPG/Propane Cylinder
The most flexible arrangement is a portable LPG/propane gas cylinder attached
by a special hose and regulator to your barbecue. Although the cylinder needs
to be refilled or exchanged when empty, this installation has the advantage of
being more mobile, and not requiring the services of a licensed gas fitter.
Built in or Mobile Trolley/Cart
Whatever gas option you choose, your barbecue
can be mounted on a mobile trolley/cart, or it
can be permanently built-in. Details of built-in
requirements are on the next two pages. Details
for the assembly of your mobile trolley or cart is
included with its separate packaging.

For Built-In Units Only
The Discovery series of barbecues comes in both trolley-mounted and built-in models. These two pages
contain information relating to setting up the built-in model only.
General Requirements
We recommend that this installation be done in a masonry structure and carried out by a professional
tradesperson. Other non-combustible material such as Hardiplank, Villaboard with metal studs may also be
used.
This appliance must not be installed under or on any combustible material. Minimum clearance from
combustible construction materials to all sides of the appliance is 450mm (18”).
Warning: Contact your local municipality for any building codes regulating the installation of outdoor barbecue
appliances. Outdoor installations must conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with:
•
USA: National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
•
CAN: B149.1 Natural Gas & Propane Installation Code.
•
AUST: Australian Standards Code AS: 5601
as well as the requirements of any local council, gas, electricity authority or other statutory regulation.
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 dimemsions of the cavity conform exactly to those listed below. This will
ensure the barbecue sits correctly in the cavity, and that the barbecue has sufficient ventilation to operate
efficiently and safely. It also allows room for any roasting 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.
