Australia has an excellent safety record when it comes to gas appliances. This reflects
both the high quality of appliances sold, as well as growing consumer awareness about
safety. We urge you to follow the guidelines below together with these instructions for
safe use, to prevent overheating and to produce great cooking results.
• This barbeque is an outdoor appliance only. Under no circumstances should it be
used indoors. This barbeque has not been approved for marine or caravan use.
• DO NOT perform any servicing on the barbeque yourself. This includes internal
adjustment of the regulator and gas valves. Servicing can only be carried out by
authorised technicians. DO NOT modify this appliance.
• It is important that you install your barbeque exactly as described in these
instructions. In particular you should keep the barbeque clear of combustible
material, and you should check for leaks whenever a new connection is made.
• DO NOT store chemicals or flammable materials near this appliance.
• DO NOT place articles on or against, or enclose this appliance.
• DO NOT spray aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance while it is in operation.
• The barbeque gets extremely hot while in use. Keep pets, children and the infirm
away from the appliance until it has cooled to normal temperatures.
• It is a good idea to tie back long hair and loose clothing while cooking in case of
unexpected flare ups.
• Fat fires are the most common cause of problems in barbeques. They are caused
by a build-up of grease in the grease channeling tray and / or the inside of the
barbeque firebox. A fat fire can be difficult to put out, and will be very dangerous if it
spreads to the gas hose. You should keep your barbeque clean to avoid this
occurrence. Fat fires will void the warranty. If a fat fire occurs, DO NOT try and
extinguish with water, shut down the gas supply if safe to do so, close the hood if
safe to do so, call the Fire Brigade on 000 if necessary.
• DO NOT transport or move the barbeque whilst it is in use or still hot because there
is a risk that the contents of the grease cup will fall out.
• NEVER leave a barbeque unattended with any burners switched on. Always switch
off all burners and gas supply when the barbeque is not in use.

Page 3
• USE CAUTION when touching a hot barbeque, especially on surfaces close to the
firebox or roasting hood.
• It is fine to pre-heat with all burners on HI and the hood closed, but NEVER let the
temperature on the hood thermometer exceed 250°C on the hood thermometer.
• When cooking with the hood closed, turn one or more burners to LO or OFF as
required to keep the barbeque from getting too hot. NEVER let the temperature on
the hood thermometer exceed 250°C on the hood thermometer.
• The hood and side burner lid where used must be in the OPEN position before
lighting.
• For 2 burner barbeques, when cooking with the hood closed for more than 20
minutes: NEVER exceed maximum temperature of 250°C and use the main
burners on LO only.
• For 4 burner barbeques, when cooking with the hood closed for more than 20
minutes: NEVER exceed maximum temperature of 250°C and use no more than 3
main burners on LO only.
• For 6 burner barbeques, when cooking with the hood closed for more than 20
minutes: NEVER exceed maximum temperature of 250°C and use no more than 4
main burners on LO only.
• NEVER leave all burners on HI for more than 10 minutes, always stay in control by
adjusting burners to LO and OFF as required to maintain suitable cooking
temperatures.
• Periodically check for gas leaks. Check for gas leaks whenever a new gas
connection is made. See “Safety Leak Testing” section.

• The support structure must be only non-combustible material. Clearances of the barbeque from
combustible materials (e.g. wooden fences and gyprock walls and painted surfaces): 300mm
from sides and rear; 1000mm vertically above; 10mm below. If part of the structure is composed
of combustible materials, ensure that the combustible material is separated from the sides and
rear of the barbeque by at least 300 mm.
• Adequate clearance around the barbeque must be provided for safe and efficient operation. The
clearances shown in the diagram below ensure that the burners have a supply of fresh air to
operate correctly. Failure to provide enough fresh air to the burners can cause the production of
potentially deadly noxious gases
• At least 72mm clearance is required from the rear of the build-in barbeque support bracket
body to allow the roasting hood to open freely. Refer to the diagram below for details.
• Structure and installation must comply with AS/NZS 5601 including:
(1) Cylinder compartments must have permanent openings ventilating directly to the outside of
the appliance consisting of either:
(a) Perforations uniformly distributed over the height of the enclosure and with a total free area
of not less than 25% of the wall area; or
(b) Separate openings at high and low level such that
(i) The total free area at the high level is not less than 20,000 square mm and is all within
125 mm of the top of the cylinder compartment; and
(ii) The total free area at the low level is not less than 20,000 square mm and
(A)At least 25% of the required total area is within 15mm of the base of the cylinder
compartment; and
(B)The total required area is within 125 mm of the base of the cylinder compartment; and
(C)The openings cannot be obstructed by the gas cylinder.
Note that if a range hood is installed, it must be a minimum of 1200mm above the primary
cooking surface.
(2) Where the cylinder is kept in an enclosed space underneath or near the build-in barbeque,
the following must be observed:
(a) The cylinder must rest on a firm base to ensure that water will not accumulate, and that the
cylinder is clear of the surrounding soil.
(b) There must be a separation panel between the gas cylinder and the barbeque so that if a
high pressure gas leak occurs, there is no direct path between the cylinder compartment and
the bbq firebox.

Before assembling your barbeque, you must ensure your barbeque is correctly suited to the type
of gas which you are going to use:
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), also known as Propane or Universal LPG:
Beefmaster V-Series barbeques are configured when manufactured for LPG and should have a
red printed sticker near the data plate stating “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 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 (reticulated), and
are filled as required by the gas supply company. Barbeques which are connected to twin 45 kg
LPG cylinders must be installed by a licensed gasfitter, in accordance with the requirement of
AS/NZS 5601,and local gas authority requirements.
To change the gas type of your barbeque:
Your Beefmaster barbeque was manufactured to use LPG. It can be connected to LPG without
any alteration. If you wish to connect your barbeque to natural gas, it will need to be converted
beforehand. This must be done only by a licensed gas fitter or an authorised gas appliance
technician using the correct injectors supplied with this instruction manual and following the
instructions detailed later in this manual. Connection to the natural gas supply must only be done
by a licensed gasfitter. The gasfitter must issue a compliance certificate including their license
details and the date of installation. Keep that certificate in a safe place in case any warranty or
servicing of the barbeque is required
Natural Gas:
Barbeques suited to natural gas should have a black printed sticker near the data plate stating
“NATURAL GAS”．This is reticulated (piped) to your home in a similar fashion to water, so there
are no cylinders to refill. You will need to contact your local gas company to determine if Natural
Gas is available in your area. Barbeques to be connected to Natural Gas must be installed by a
licensed gasfitter, in accordance with the requirement of AS/NZS 5601 and local gas authority
requirements. This Beefmaster V-Series barbeque was manufactured for use with LPG so would
need to be altered by an authorised person for use with Natural Gas following the conversion
instructions in this manual.
If connecting to a standard Natural Gas bayonet outlet, the correct hose and governor assembly
must be used (code: NGCK250VJQ) available at your nearest Barbeques Galore store. If
connecting direct to the Natural Gas supply, the gasfitter will need to use a Natural Gas governor
(code: RCV250Q) and appropriate pipes and fittings for your particular installation.
It is extremely dangerous to use the barbeque with the wrong type of gas. Fire or explosion
may result. Always conduct a leak test before use. Refer details later in this manual under
“Safety leak testing”.

Page 8
There are two approaches to permanent piped installations:
(1) Direct Permanent Piped Connection: Your barbeque may be permanently connected to the
Natural Gas main gas lines or LPG cylinder via copper pipe. This must be done entirely by the
gasfitter, in accordance with requirements of AS/NZS 5601, and local gas authority
requirements. Your gasfitter will ensure that your barbeque is permanently connected to the
supply via copper pipe, the gas pressure in the line is adequate for the complete system, 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 barbeque cannot be moved. It is a permanent fixture of the property. Build-in
barbeques most often are connected this way.
(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 barbeque using a special hose
and bayonet termination. Such a hose is provided in the Natural Gas conversion kit
NGCK250VJQ. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit to complete the connection. For
LPG bayonet installations, an appropriate hose is available from most barbeque retailers.
Even if your barbeque area already has a bayonet point, you will still need to call upon a gas fitter
to ensure that gas pressure is appropriate for your barbeque and associated appliances on the
same supply, and to ensure your barbeque is adjusted and functions correctly before leaving.
Where a gas fitter is required, the gasfitter must test the safety and operation of the appliance
before leaving, including gas pressure, ignition and burner operation. The gasfitter must issue a
compliance certificate for the installation showing their licence number and the date of the
installation. Keep that certificate in a safe place in case any warranty or servicing of the barbeque
is required.
To the installer: You must instruct the consumer on safe operation, and ensure these instructions
are left with the consumer before leaving the site.

If you are assembling a cart model or steel island, make sure you have the separately
supplied steel cart (code MC2BV or MC2DXB for 2 burner, code MC4BV or MC4DXB
for 4 burner, code MC6BV or MC6DXB for 6 burner). Assemble the cart(s) before you
start on the barbeque head assembly using the instruction manual supplied separately
with the cart.
If you are assembling multiple units together (e.g. 2 burner and a 4 burner and a Range
unit to make one bbq island), assemble each of the bbqs / heads to their respective carts
before joining the carts.
If you are fitting side shelves and / or side burners, make sure you have the separately
supplied pack of two folding shelves (code MCBFOLDV) or pack of one Premium shelf +
one stainless steel side burner (code MCBSBSHELFV) or pack of one Deluxe shelf + one
cast iron side burner (code MCDXBSBSHELFV).
If you are assembling a build-in or an island, make sure you have the separately supplied
build-in kit (code BRBIKV). Double check all dimensions and clearances before committing
to any design or construction expense.
If you purchased a pre-fabricated island, verify that you have matching size island and
barbeque head, and assemble the island before you start on the barbeque head assembly.
If you want to run up to two adjacent gas modules (e.g. 2 burner and 4 burner) from a single
gas supply, you will need separately supplied corrugated gas extension pipe (code:
CBGASEXT). Check with a gasfitter before connecting multiple items from the one gas
supply to ensure it can be done safely.
