Connection to Barbecue & Gas Supply
Disconnecting The Gas Supply
Always ensure that all gas controls on the appliance and on the cylinder are off before disconnecting.or removing the gas cylinder. Do not smoke or use a naked flame near the appliance or gas cylinder while connecting or disconnecting the gas line.
If installed in an enclosure, remove the gas cylinder from the enclosure before disconnecting the gas line from the appliance. Tighten all connections before placing the gas cylinder back in its enclosure.
Fixed Installation - Portable LP Gas/Propane.
Connect the gas supply line to the barbecue inlet located on the right side of the appliance using either hard plumbing, or a flexible hose connected to a bayonet point. Refer to your local installation code for pipe sizing details. Secure all joints spanner tight but do not
Test gas pressure by removing the last burner from the left hand side of the barbecue and attaching a hose and pressure gauge to the end of the gas valve. Turn on 2 burners and check the pressure.
For mobile trolley installations that use flexible hosing to connect to a static propane supply, a chain or similar restraining device must be fitted to prevent strain on the gas supply line. One end of the chain should attach to the barbecue; the other end should attach to a fixed structural point close to where the hose connects to the gas piping. The chain must be at least 30% shorter than the gas supply line. In this way, if the barbecue is accidentally moved, the chain stops the barbecue from stretching the hose.
Secure All Joints And Leak Test
The gas leak testing procedure should be conducted every time a gas cylinder is refilled and reconnected to the appliance, or after any new gas connection is made. Never use a naked flame to check for gas leaks.
In a small container, mix up a solution of water and detergent or soap. Mix the solution well.
Make sure that the gas supply valve on the gas cylinder or the shut off valve on the supply line is turned on.
Make sure that the gas control valves on the appliance are all turned off.
Using a brush or spray bottle apply the solution to the gas line and each joint in the gas line, including the hose and regulator.
Bubbling of the solution will indicate that there is a leak present.
If a leak persists contact your distributor or the manufacturer for assistance.
Check Proper Burner Operation
Following operating instructions light each burner and check for a clear blue flame with just a tip of yellow. Excess yellow tipping can be adjusted using the screw on the side of the burner. Turn the screw in an anti- clockwise rotation to remove the yellow. If you are unable to achieve correct operation, consult your dealer.
