Installation Instructions
The chargrill is supplied with a 2Kg bag of lava rock. Parry advise that no more than 2 Kg of
lava rock should be used on the unit at any one time. If you overload the chargrill then the
heat is trapped below the rocks and it will take longer to cook the food.
Gas hoses used to connect the appliance to the gas supply must be of the correct
specification for the gas and pressure of the appliance. The gas hose must comply with the
national requirements in force, and be CE marked, of a metal braided construction suitable
for commercial catering equipment. The hoses should be periodically examined and
replaced as necessary
The tube or hose shall be fitted such that there are no sharp bends or torsional strain which
may cause damage or failure of the tube or hose, especially near the end fittings. Torsional
strain can be prevented by using internal unions, swivel joints, etc. The bend radius should
not exceed that stated by the Manufacturer. The hose should not touch the ground and
should be no longer than 1.5m long.
A manual valve should be positioned upstream of the tube or hose unless the connection
fitting incorporates a self-sealing quick release coupling.
Where a quick release coupling is used for horizontal travel such as in commercial catering
appliances it is advisable that the coupling is facing downwards to prevent the ingress of
debris and ensure the hose is formed in to a smooth curve.
All units should have a restraining cable fitted preventing the unit from being pulled away
from the wall and causing the gas hose to become disconnected accidentally
