GENERAL INFORMATION

Gas Installation Codes

• Smokers must be used in accordance with AS/NZS Standard 5601 “Gas Installations”.

• Smokers for use with bottled gas are labelled LPG/ULPG.

• Smokers for use with natural gas are labelled ‘natural

gas’ and must be installed by an authorised person. Check the gas type sticker attached to the smoker.

Failure to comply with these instructions could result

in a re or explosion which could cause serious

bodily injury, death or property damage.

Accessible parts may be very hot.

Keep young children away.

Any modications of this smoker may be dangerous.

Do not move this smoker during use.

Turn off gas supply at the cylinder after use.

Read instructions before using the smoker.

Parts sealed by the manufacturer or their agent

must not be manipulated by the user. This smoker is only to be used and stored outdoors.

Clearances

Minimum Clearances from combustible materials must be: Rear - 600mm Sides - 600mm Above 900mm

If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the connections, turn off the gas and contact the supplier immediately.

Always ensure the smoker is kept away from ammable materials and the gas cylinder clear of any heat source. When changing over from an empty gas cylinder to a full

one make sure this procedure is carried out in a ame free

atmosphere.

If this information is not followed exactly a re

causing death or serious injury may occur. Do not store a spare gas cylinder under or near this

smoker. Never ll the cylinder beyond 85% full.

Specifications

Smoker specifications can be found on the data label attached to the rear panel.

If you smell gas

1. Shut off gas to the smoker at its source, if possible.

2. Extinguish any open ame.

3. Open door.

4. If odour continues immediately call your

gas supplier or re department.

Hose & Regulator Safety

The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the smoker are suitable for LPG only.

A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of

2.75kPA is supplied for connection to the LPG cylinder. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the smoker must be used. Replacement pressure regulators

and hose assemblies must be those specied by the

smoker manufacturer.

Never operate this smoker wihout a regulator

When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting or

kinking of the exible hose.

The smoker should be installed with the hose regulator

assembly extended to the full length of hose directly away

from the burner (61cm minimum). When so configured,

placement results in maximum cylinder to smoker

distance. Placing cylinder closer than 61cm to the smoker can overheat the cylinder and cause release of LPG through relief openings and can result in cylinder fire or

explosion.

After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas and check for leaks by brushing a soap and water solution over all connections.

Do not test for gas leaks with an open ame

Gas Cylinder Use & Safety

This is a low pressure smoker and must only be used with the hose and regulator supplied. Your smoker is designed for use with 9Kg LPG cylinders.

Do not connect your smoker to a gas cylinder

exceeding this capacity.

Never connect an unregulated gas cylinder to your

smoker.

The cylinder should be lled by a reputable gas supplier and visually inspected and re-qualied at each lling.

Always keep cylinder in an upright position. Always close the cylinder valve when the smoker is not in use.

Do not subject the cylinder to excessive heat.

Never Store your Gas Cylinder Indoors.

If you store your smoker indoors, ALWAYS disconnect the

cylinder rst and store it safely outside. Cylinders must

be stored outdoors in a well ventilated area out of reach of children, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

Store the smoker upright in an area sheltered away from weather conditions. The use of a cover is recommended.

Read carefully before assembling and operating

your smoker.

2. The burner controls are in the ‘OFF’ position.

Connecting

1. Ensure cylinder valve is in its full ‘CLOSE’ position.

2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder connection or the hose. NEVER attempt to use damaged equipment.

3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the nut to a positive stop by hand.

4. Open cylinder valve one full turn. If a leak can be heard at either end of the hose turn cylinder off and tighten joint. Wait 5 minutes before re-testing and use a soapy water solution to check the joint. If bubbles appear the connection will need to be re-tightened.

Refer to P13 for more detailed instructions on connecting the appliance to the cylinder.

Disconnecting

Regulator Safety Feature (NZ Only)

All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas cylinder

to regulate the ow of gas) have a safety feature included that restricts gas ow in the event of a gas leak. You can

inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas using the smoker control knob before you turn on the gas cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates, the smoker will operate with reduced output as gas ow is restricted.

These steps should be taken rst to reset the gas regulator

safety device:

1. Ensure the smoker door is open.

2. Turn gas cylinder valve to ‘CLOSE’.

3. Turn off all control knobs.

4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.

5. Wait 30 seconds.

6. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.

7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.

Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.

8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve one turn. Do not put

excessive force on the valve at the full open position, to

avoid damaging the valve.

9. Light smoker as per the instructions provided.
