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.

DO NOT STORE OR USE PETROL OR OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPOURS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

DO NOT STORE EMPTY OR FULL SPARE GAS CYLINDERS IN STORAGE COMPARTMENT OR NEAR THIS OR ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

KEEP THE GAS HOSE AWAY FROM HOT SURFACES. PROTECT GAS HOSE FROM DRIPPING GREASE.

AVOID UNNECESSARY TWISTING OF HOSE. VISUALLY INSPECT HOSE PRIOR TO EACH USE FOR CUTS, CRACKS, EXCESSIVE WEAR OR OTHER DAMAGE. REPLACE HOSE, IF NECESSARY.

NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH A LIT MATCH OR OPEN FLAME.

NEVER LIGHT BARBECUE WITH HOOD CLOSED.

NEVER LEAN OVER COOKING SURFACE WHILE LIGHTING BARBECUE.

USE GOOD QUALITY INSULATED OVEN MITTS WHEN OPERATING BARBECUE.

NEVER ALTER OR MODIFY THE REGULATOR OR GAS SUPPLY ASSEMBLY.

DANGER – IF YOU SMELL OR HEAR THE HISS OF ESCAPING GAS FROM THE GAS CYLINDER:

KEEP CLEAR OF THE GAS CYLINDER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE

PROBLEM YOURSELF. CALL YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT

(DO NOT MAKE THE CALL FROM ANYWHERE NEAR THE GAS CYLINDER – YOUR TELEPHONE IS AN ELECTRICAL DEVICE, AND COULD PRODUCE A SPARK).

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR BARBECUE.

NEVER CONNECT AN UNREGULATED GAS CYLINDER TO YOUR BARBECUE.

NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER INDOORS

FOR STORAGE AND CYLINDER EXCHANGE, DISCONNECT HOSE AT THE CYLINDER ONLY – DO NOT DISCONNECT HOSE FROM THE APPLIANCE.

DO NOT use your barbecue in garages, porches, breezeways, sheds or other enclosed areas. Your barbecue is to be used OUTDOORS ONLY. Refer to page 22. The barbecue 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 control(s) 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.

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 standards.

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR BARBECUE TO A GAS CYLINDER LESS THAN OR EXCEEDING THIS CAPACITY.

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.
