This appliance is only suitable for use with low-pressure butane or propane gas and fitted
with the appropriate low-pressure regulator via a flexible hose. The hose should be secured
to the regulator and the appliance with hose clips or nut. This barbecue is set to operate a

The use of the wrong regulator or hose is unsafe; always check that you have the correct
items before operating the heater.
The hose used must conform to the relevant standard for the country of use. The length of
