Checking the gas type and supply
Before assembling your range unit, you should ensure your range unit is suited to the type of
gas which you are going to use. This is a low pressure range unit and must only be used with
propane gas only using the hose and regulator supplied. Your range unit is designed for use
with 4kg or 9Kg refillable propane cylinders. The cylinder should be filled by a filled by a
reputable gas supplier and visually inspected at each filling.
LPG, also known as Propane or Universal LPG:
Range unit suited to LPG should have an orange sticker on the side saying “UNIVERSAL
LPG”. This is most commonly supplied as a portable 4 kg or 9 kg gas cylinder, which can be
refilled or swapped at petrol stations or your place of purchase when empty. Follow the
assembly instruction steps for how to fit and connect your portable gas cylinder.
Some homes have twin 45 kg LPG cylinders permanently installed near an outside wall.
These cylinders supply LPG gas to multiple appliances in the home via copper pipes, and are
filled as required by the gas supply company.
Natural Gas:
This range unit is not approved or suitable for Natural Gas use. It is dangerous to try and
use the wrong type of gas supply or connecting hose.
Fixed LPG Supply:
Barbeques which are connected to twin 45 kg LPG cylinders must be installed by a licensed
gasfitter, in accordance with the requirements of AS 5601, and local gas authority
requirements.
There are two approaches to installation:
(1) Permanent Piped Connection: Your range unit may be permanently connected to LPG
cylinders via copper pipe. This must be done entirely by the gasfitter, in accordance with
requirements of AS 5601, and local gas authority requirements. Your gasfitter will ensure that
your range unit is permanently connected to the supply via copper pipe, the gas pressure in
the lines is adequate, pipe sizes are correct, all connections are secure, and that all
necessary components (such as secondary regulators and manual shutoffs) are included
where regulations require them. Once this is done, the range unit cannot be moved. It is a
permanent fixture of the property.
(2) Bayonet Point: Alternatively, you can have the gas fitter terminate the gas line using a
“bayonet point”. This allows you to connect and disconnect the appliance using a special
hose and bayonet termination. For LPG installations, an appropriate hose is available from
most barbeque retailers.
Barbeque connected to
twin 45kg LPG cylinders.
Copper pipe brings the
gas from the tanks to the
barbeque area. A flexible
hose connects to a
bayonet fitting near the
appliance.

Page 17
Checking for gas leaks and lighting the burners
Always keep gas cylinder in an upright position. Always close the gas cylinder valve when
the range unit is not in use.
Do not subject the cylinder to excessive heat.
NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER INDOORS.
If you store your range unit indoors, ALWAYS disconnect the cylinder first and store it
safely outside. Cylinders must be stored out doors in a well ventilated area out of reach of
children, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Hose and Regulator Safety
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with this range unit is suitable for propane only.
The gas regulator is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75kPa and is supplied for
connection to the LPG cylinder. Hose diameter 8mm. Only the pressure regulator and
hose assembly supplied with this range unit must be used. Replacement pressure
regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the manufacturer.
Connecting to the Gas Cylinder
If you are using a portable LPG gas cylinder, place the LPG cylinder into the left side of the
cabinet, so that it sits inside the round cut out in the base panel. Take the hose that came
with the barbeque, check that it has a rubber seal on the regulator end of it, and connect
this end of the hose to the gas cylinder. You won’t need a spanner here, just turn the fitting
in an anticlockwise direction and hand tighten as much as you can. This should seal it
sufficiently.
Ensure the gas cylinder is secure. When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to
the gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting or kinking of the flexible hose.
After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas cylinder and check for leaks by
brushing a soap and water solution over all connections as follows:
TO SAFELY CHECK FOR LEAKS:
Make 100ml of leak detecting solution by mixing one part washing up liquid with 3 parts
water. Ensure all the range unit control valves are “OFF”. Connect the regulator to the
cylinder, ensure the connections are secure then turn ON the gas.
Brush the soapy solution onto the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you have a leak,
which must be rectified before use. Retest after fixing the fault. Turn “OFF” at the gas
cylinder after testing.
If leakage is detected and cannot be rectified. Do not attempt to cure leakage but consult
your store of purchase.
Never operate this range unit without the correct regulator

Page 18
Checking for gas leaks and lighting the bbq (continued)
LIGHTING THE BURNERS
After confirming there are no leaks:
1. Open the lid of the range unit while lighting either burner.
2. Turn all the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.
3. Connect the regulator to the gas cylinder. Turn the gas supply “ON” at the gas cylinder.
4. Push IN either burner control knob and keep pressing IN whilst turning anti-clockwise to
the “ HIGH” position (a clicking sound is heard). This should light that burner. Observe
if the burner is lit, if the burner is not lit, repeat this step once.
5. If the burner has not lit after retrying once, turn the control knob “OFF” (clockwise) wait
five minutes and repeat step 4.
6. If the burner still does not light, light the appliance with a lit match held next to the burner.
Consult your store of purchase if necessary to service the ignition.
Warning: If the burner completely fails to ignite, turn the control knob “OFF” (clockwise)
and also turn the cylinder valve “OFF”. Wait five minutes before attempting to relight with
ignition sequence from Step 1.
CONTROLLING THE FLAMES
Adjust the heat by turning the knob between the “ HIGH” and “LOW” positions.
Light individual burners in the same way as above.
To turn the range unit “OFF”, turn the cylinder valve or regulator switch to the “OFF”
position and then turn both the control knobs on the appliance clockwise to the “OFF”
position.
NEVER CLOSE THE LID WHILE THE BURNER IS ON OR HOT!

Page 19
Checking for gas leaks and lighting the burners (continued)
CONTROLLING THE FLAMES
The knobs have three basic positions “OFF”, “LOW” & “ HIGH”. You can achieve
any flame height between “LOW” and “ HIGH” by rotating the knob between these
two positions.
Checking the Flames:
Look into the range unit so that you can see the flames.
They should be a soft blue colour with yellow tips. If the flame appears too yellow or smoky,
you should consult your retailer before further use.
Special note: “Blowback” is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner, towards the
front. It can be recognised by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner. It is not
dangerous unless it is allowed to persist. If this occurs, simply turn the burner off, wait a few
seconds, then relight.
Turning OFF:
When you’ve finished cooking, leave the burner controls on “ HIGH” for a maximum of
five minutes to burn off any spillage from the burner and other surfaces. To turn the range
unit off, it is best to turn OFF the cylinder first, and allow all the gas left in the hose to burn off.
This will only take a couple of seconds. Then turn OFF all burner controls. It is okay to leave
the cylinder connected to your barbeque while it’s not in use, but it is much safer to turn the
gas cylinder OFF when it is not in use.
If your range unit is connected to piped LPG, you can simply turn the burner controls OFF. If
you have a hose connection with a shut off valve, it is much safer to turn the gas supply OFF
when the range unit is not in use.
Note carefully: Failure to follow these shutdown procedures correctly can lead to a
hazardous condition.

Page 20
Care and maintenance
Cleaning your range unit:
Your range unit will look better and last longer if you keep it clean. Follow these simple steps.
The burners: Occasionally the burner holes may get clogged with grease and food particles.
Leaving the burners on for a maximum of 5 minutes with the hood open after you’ve finished
cooking will remove most of this. However, you should check the burners periodically for any
sort of blockage. In particular, you should ensure that the aeration vents are free of insect
nests and spider webs. To clean the burners, let them cool down, then inspect them. If any of
the holes are clogged, use a wire brush or pin to unclog the holes.
The body: Grease and spillage can build up on the body of the appliance. Simply clean it off
with hot water and detergent. Do not use oven cleaner as this will damage the surface
coating.
Storing Your Range Unit:
Your range unit is designed to be used outdoors. However, just like a car, you will prolong the
life of the appliance if you store it out of direct exposure to the elements when not in use. This
can be done in many ways:
•Place a waterproof cover over it. These are available from most barbeque retailers. Use a
ventilated cover, or add a couple of sponges between the cover and the range unit to
promote ventilation and reduce condensation.
•Move the range unit to a covered location. If you are storing it in a closed room (e.g. a shed
or a garage) then disconnect and keep the cylinder outdoors and away from any other
cylinders or any cars, boats, motorcycles or any other petrol engines.
•If you don’t intend to use it for a few months, lightly spray all surfaces with canola oil. This
will help protect against corrosion.
Servicing Your Range Unit:
•Apart from cleaning, your range unit is a fairly low maintenance item. A couple of things
are worth looking at though. Remember to turn off and disconnect the gas before any
maintenance is carried out.
•If your range unit uses a flexible hose to connect to the gas, check the rubber O-ring on the
regulator end of the hose assembly at least once a year. If it appears worn or cracked,
have it replaced.
•We recommend having your range unit checked by an authorised service agent every 5
years. This is to ensure there are no leaks and that all components are still functioning
correctly.
•If you use a portable LPG gas cylinder, you will need to have the cylinder serviced or
replaced every ten years. The date of the last service should be stamped on the neck of
the bottle.
•As you can see, it’s easy to keep your range unit in great shape so it can give you years of
trouble free enjoyment.
