TABLE OF CONTENTS
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbecue
are suitable for use with bottled gas – POL connection.
This regulator is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of
2.75 kPa for connection to a gas cylinder only. 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. Also, take care to avoid a loose connection with the gas
cylinder. 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. Include checking
those connections which were made by your supplier. 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 connections,
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 assembly when exchanging the gas
cylinder, or at least once a year, whichever is more frequent. If
the ‘O-Ring’ or PVC hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in
any way, the appliance must not be operated. The complete
assembly must be replaced if damaged and when statutory
conditions require it. Contact your place of purchase if uncertain.
HOSE AND REGULATOR SAFETY
NEVER OPERATE THIS BARBECUE
WITHOUT A REGULATOR.
This appliance is certified to AS 4557 by the Australian Gas
Association. Refer data label on the barbecue for certificate
number.
Barbecues must be used in accordance with the installation
requirements of your local gas supply authority, and the
appropriate installation standard AS5601.

NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A 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 including the gas cylinder. Bubbles will
appear in the soap solution if connections are not properly
sealed. Tighten or rectify as necessary.
Refer to page 4 for
further details.
4. If you have a gas leak you cannot rectify, turn off the gas
at the source. Contact the manufacturer for assistance.
Refer to back cover.
