G. Gas and Regulator
This barbecue can use either propane or butane LPG bottled gas. Propane bottles, normally red coloured, will supply gas all year round, even on cold winter days. A spanner may be required to change gas bottles. Butane bottles, normally blue, will supply sufficient gas in summer, but performance of the barbecue may be affected once the gas temperature starts to fall below +10°C. The bottle should never be stood on the trolley base and placed directly under the barbecue. Gas bottles should never be stored or used laid on their side. Never store gas bottles indoors.
For optimal performance, we suggest the following:
