GAS INSTALLATION CODES HOSE AND REGULATOR SAFETY
NEVER OPERATE THIS BARBECUE
WITHOUT A REGULATOR.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN A
FIRE OR EXPLOSION WHICH COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,
DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
ACCESSIBLE PARTS MAY BE VERY
HOT.
KEEP YOUNG CHILDREN AWAY.
ANY MODIFICATION OF THIS
APPLIANCE MAY BE DANGEROUS.
DO NOT MOVE THIS APPLIANCE
DURING USE.
TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE
GAS CYLINDER AFTER USE.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USING THE APPLIANCE.
PARTS SEALED BY THE
MANUFACTURER MUST NOT BE
MANIPULATED.
THIS BARBECUE IS ONLY TO BE USED
AND STORED OUTDOORS.
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue is
suitable for use with bottled gas.
A gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75
kPa is supplied for connection to the gas cylinder. The regulator
and hose assembly supplied with the appliance must be used.
Replacement regulator and hose assemblies must be those
specified by the appliance manufacturer.
When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to the
gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting of the
flexible hose. After the assembly has been secured, turn on the
gas and check for leaks by brushing a soap and water solution
over all visible and accessible gas line connections. The presence
of bubbles will indicate a gas escape.
DO NOT TEST FOR
GAS ESCAPES WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
If you are unable to correct the leak by tightening the
connection, turn off the gas and contact your place of purchase
immediately.
Always ensure the appliance is kept away from flammable
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 flame free
atmosphere.
Inspect the gas hose when replacing the gas cylinder or once
a year whichever is more frequent. If the hose is cracked, cut,
abraded or damaged in any way, the appliance must not be
operated. The hose must be replaced if damaged or when statutory
conditions require it. Contact your place of purchase if uncertain.
The POL fitting of the hose and regulator should be
disconnected from the gas cylinder valve when the outdoor
appliance is not in use.
Appliance specifications can be found on the data label attached
to the rear panel of the barbecue body.
Your barbecue is preset at the factory to operate on
bottled gas only, unless specified otherwise.
SPECIFICATIONS
GAS HOSES ARE FACTORY FITTED AND
LEAK TESTED – DO NOT DISCONNECT.

is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles
and/or boats and should not be placed under any surface
that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the barbecue while in use.
LOCATION OF YOUR BARBECUE
Keep children away from barbecue during use and until barbecue has
cooled after you are finished. Do not allow children to operate barbecue,
or to swing on handle.
PROTECT CHILDREN
NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH AN OPEN FLAME.
Prior to first use, and at the beginning of each new season (or, if using
bottled gas, whenever gas cylinder is changed), you must check for gas
leaks.
Follow these steps:
1. Make soap solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one
part water.
2. Turn burner controls to
‘OFF’, then turn on gas at source.
3. Apply the soap solution to all visible and accessible gas connections.
Bubbles will appear in the soap solution if connections are not
properly sealed. Tighten or rectify as necessary, including
connections to the gas cylinder.
4. If you have a gas leak you cannot rectify, turn off the gas at the
source, disconnect hose from barbecue and immediately contact
the manufacturer for assistance.
Refer to back cover.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
The gas cylinder should be filled by a reputable gas dealer, or exchanged at
a reputable cylinder exchange outlet. Gas cylinders should be visually
inspected and requalified periodically.
Always keep gas cylinder in an upright position.
Always close the
cylinder valve when the barbecue is not in use.
Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat.
If you store your barbecue indoors, ALWAYS disconnect and remove gas
cylinder FIRST, and store gas cylinder safely outside. Gas 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.
This is a low pressure barbecue and must only be used with the hose and
regulator supplied.
Your barbecue is designed for use with a 9 kg gas cylinder.
Ensure gas cylinder conforms to Australian standard AS2469 and is
less than 10 years old, or reconstituted if older than 10 years old.
DO NOT CONNECT YOUR BARBECUE TO A GAS
CYLINDER LESS THAN OR EXCEEDING THIS CAPACITY
NOTE:
The cylinder storage is suitable for gas cylinders with
a base ring and overall height not exceeding 215 mm and
480 mm respectively.
GAS CYLINDER USE AND SAFETY
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. SHUT OFF GAS TO THE APPLIANCE
AT ITS SOURCE, IF POSSIBLE.
2. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAME.
3. OPEN HOOD.
4. PERFORM GAS LEAK CHECK
PROCEDURE.
5. IF ODOUR CONTINUES,
IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS
SUPPLIER OR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
