B. THE GAS SYSTEM
1. GAS AND REGULATOR INFORMATION
This cooker is designed for propane (LPG) gas use only. Gas bottles with a "POL"
connection are to be used with this Crab Cooker Set. Suitable regulators must have an
outlet pressure of 69 kPa. You must have the proper regulator and bottle in order for the
Crab Cooker Set to operate safely and efciently. Ensure that a 100% propane (LPG)
rellable gas cylinder currently certied to Australian Standard AS2030.1:2009 is used. Do
not use disposable gas cylinders. Please note the hose and regulator supplied with this unit
are of an approved type and are specically designed for use with your Crab Cooker Set.
It may be hazardous to attempt to t other types of Gas containers.
2. CONNECTING THE HOSE AND REGULATOR TO THE GAS BOTTLE
—Only use the hose assembly (3) supplied with this appliance for direct connection to the
cylinder – DO NOT USE ADAPTORS. Do not use any other hose assembly. Check the
gas hose for damage or signs of abrasion before each use.
—Keep the hose clear of sharp edges and hot surfaces.
— Avoid twisting or kinking the exible hose.
—If damaged, do not use the hose and replace it immediately. If there is any doubt, contact
the customer service line on 1300 799 787.
—Make sure all Crab Cooker Set control knobs are in the off position. Connect the
regulator to the gas cylinder by inserting the regulator connection into the gas bottle
outlet. This is tightened in an anti clockwise motion.
—Firmly hand tighten and then be sure to check for leaks at all gas connections.
—Please note that the hose is already fitted with a valve that connects to the burner.
You do not have to adjust this connection but should leak test this once the hose and
regulator are connected to the gas cylinder.

3. LEAK TESTING
Open the gas control valve on the cylinder. Check for leaks by brushing a solution 1/2 water
and 1/2 soap over all gas system joints, including all valve connections, hose connections
and regulator connections. DO NOT 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 re-tighten all
joints. If bubbles form again, do not use the Crab Cooker Set. Please contact the customer
service line on 1300 799 787. Check for leaks annually or whenever the hose and regulator
are disconnected from the gas cylinder.

2. OTHER PRECAUTIONS
Do not obstruct any of the ventilation openings in the Crab Cooker body. Also, position the

The hose should hang freely with no bends, folds, or kinks, which could obstruct the free
ow of gas. Apart from the connection point, no part of the hose should touch any hot
parts. Inspect the hose before use. If the hose is damaged, it must be replaced with a hose
from the manufacturer. The length shall not exceed 1.5m. Should minimum clearances not
be adhered to severe are up may be experienced due to a lack of airow around the Crab
Cooker Set, thus voiding manufacture’s warranty.
