Installation Warnings

A safe location for use of this outdoor BBQ

situation with natural ventilation without stagnant areas, where gas leakage
and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind or natural
convection. This grill has been designed for outdoors only

CLEARANCES

This appliance must be installed on non combustible materials. This outdoor
Barbeque must be installed in accordance with AS5601.

Safe Use of LPG (Propane) Gas
DANGER:

 Never install a propane cylinder that is more than 80 % full, as the

contents may lack the adequate room for expansion when exposed to
heat. Propane vapour may then vent through the pressure relief valve,
which could accumulate in a pool and later cause an explosion or fire.

 Never store a spare propane cylinder in or near this grill.

8

 Exposing a disconnected cylinder to heat could result in the venting of

the propane vapour through the pressure relief valve, and the pooled
vapour could result in a violent fire.

 Always confirm that all the openings in the cylinder compartment are

free from any obstructions that would restrict the circulation of
ventilation air. Good ventilation will prevent the pooling of leaked
propane vapour, which is heavier than air, and which could explode if
ignited.

WARNINGS:

 Always consult the rating label prior to the installation of this barbeque

to confirm which fuel the unit has been configured for and will be
suited for the gas that you have available.

 Always check that there are no gas leaks before lighting this grill. Apply

a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to the gas supply connections

with a brush or spray bottle, and watch for bubbles.
(tighten connections and check again) Never use a match or naked
flame to test for gas leaks.

 Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking or

rodent damage before each use of this grill and if necessary replace

the defective part.

 Always store your spare propane cylinder in an outdoor area that is

well ventilated, shady cool and removed from any heat source. Always

store in an upright position. Never store

a spare cylinder in the vicinity

of this grill, or in the vicinity of any other heat source.

Safe Use of Natural Gas

DANGER:

 Always consult the rating label prior to the installation of this barbeque
to confirm which fuel the unit has been configured for and will be suited
for the gas that you have available.
 The size of the gas line to the appliance (ref AS5601) & connection to
the natural gas supply must be carried out by a licensed plumber for
safety and to assure compliance with the applicable codes.
