INSTALLATION
3.1 Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should be placed in a well-ventilated area.
This appliance consumes oxygen and it is dangerous for the health and safety of the
occupants to use this appliance in areas not properly ventilated.
Take care to ensure that it is not placed under any combustible surface.
The sides of the barbecue should not be closer than 1 metre to any combustible surface.
Keep this barbecue away from any flammable materials.
3.2 Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the barbecue body. Position the gas cylinder on
the cylinder hanger.
The cylinder must not be placed on the ground whilst the barbecue is in use.
Should you need to change the gas cylinder, ensure that the cylinder valve is closed, the
barbecue is switched off and there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flames,
sparks, etc) nearby before proceeding.
Inspect the gas hose to ensure it is free of any twisting or tension. The hose should hang
freely with no bends, folds, or kinks that could obstruct the free flow of gas. Apart from
the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot barbecue parts.
Always inspect the hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear before use. If the hose is
damaged, it must be replaced with hose suitable for use with LPG and which meets the
national standards for the country of use (South Africa: SANS 1156-2 or BS3212). The
length of the hose shall not exceed 1,5m.
3.3 Connecting the gas hose to the barbecue
Connect the gas hose to the gas manifold inlet on the left hand side of the barbecue. Do
not overtighten. Do not use any sealing tape or liquid on the connection
3.4 Fixing the regulator to the gas bottle
Ensure that all the barbecue control knobs are in the OFF position. Connect the regulator to
the gas bottle according to your regulator and cylinder dealer's instruction. Always check
that the bullnose seal on the regulator is in place and in good condition before connecting
the regulator to the cylinder. Perform this check every time a cylinder is connected or
changed. Always make sure that the thread is fully engaged and properly tightened.
Please note that the thread on the regulator is a LEFT HAND thread and must be turned in
an ANTI-CLOCKWISE direction to tighten it when facing the cylinder valve.
3.5 Leak testing (to be performed in a well ventilated area)
Confirm that the control knob is in the OFF position. Open the gas control valve on the
cylinder. Check for leaks on all gas system joints, including all valve connections, hose
connections, and regulator connections by brushing a solution of half/half water and soap
solution over all joints and connections.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO TEST FOR LEAKS AT ANY TIME. If bubbles form over any
of the joints, then there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply and re-tighten all joints. Repeat test.
If bubbles form again, do not use the BBQ. Please contact your local dealer for assistance.
Leak test annually and whenever the gas cylinder is removed or replaced.
