OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting Up
Set grill up on solid, flat surface with adequate wind shelter. Keep grill at least 0.5m from nearest wall.
Protect LP cylinder from direct sunlight and keep away from heat sources (max. 122° F ). Do not move
grill while hot, and do not leave unattended during operation.
Position gas cylinder next to device such that hose is not bent, twisted, subject to tension, or touching
any hot parts of appliance. DO NOT place gas cylinder directly under burners.
Regulator and Hose
These items are supplied with the appliance, but replacements are available from your equipment
retailer or an authorized LP gas supplier. Use only regulators and hose approved for LP Gas at the
above pressures. The life expectancy of the regulator is estimated as 10 years. It is recommended that
the regulator is changed within 10 years of the date of manufacture.
The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct items before
operating the appliance.
The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. Worn or damaged hose
must be replaced. Ensure that the hose is not obstructed, kinked, or in contact with any part of the
barbecue other than at its connection.
Connecting the Hose to the Appliance
Before connection, ensure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas cylinder, regulator,
burner, and burner ports. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the burner/venturi tube at the
orifice. A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
Clean burner holes with a heavy-duty pipe cleaner.
If the hose is replaced it must be secured to the appliance and regulator connections with hose clips.
Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder (according to the directions supplied with the regulator) when
the appliance is not in use.
The appliance must be used in a well ventilated area. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air to the
burner when in use. ONLY USE THIS APPLIANCE OUTDOORS.
