of the barbecue should NEVER be closer than 1 metre from any combustible surface. Keep this barbecue away from any flammable materials!
b. Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the barbecue body. Position the gas supply bottle on level ground next to the barbecue and safely away from any source of heat. Should you need to change the gas bottle, confirm that the barbecue is switched off, and that there are no sources of ignition (cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near 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 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 meet the national standards for the country of use. The length of the hose shall not exceed 1.5m.
c. Fixing the Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle according to your regulator and bottle dealer’s instructions.
d. Leak Testing (To be performed in a well-ventilated area.)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position. Open the gas control valve on the bottle or regulator. Check for leaks by brushing a solution of ½ water and ½ soap over all gas system joints, including all valve connections, hose connections and regulator connections. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at anytime. If bubbles form over any of the joints, there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply and retighten all joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form again, do not use the barbecue. Please contact your local dealer for assistance. Leak test annually, and whenever the gas bottle is removed or replaced.
