INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This barbecue is designed and approved for outdoor use only.
Be mindful of the location of installation of the BBQ. It is better that the
prevailing wind blows into the front of the BBQ during cooking as strong winds
blowing into the back or across the back of the hood whilst cooking with the
hood closed can cause overheating of the BBQ. This is because the hot air
retained in the hood during cooking cannot be released naturally from the rear
vent of the hood in strong winds.
Do not use this appliance indoors or on marine craft.
This appliance shall only be used in an above ground, open-air situation with
natural ventilation, without stagnant areas where gas leakage and products of
combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
Any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the
following:
An enclosure with walls on all sided, but at least one permanent
opening at ground level and no overhead cover.(figure 1)
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead enclosure and no
more than two walls.(figure 2)
Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and more
than two walls, the following shall apply.(figure 3,4 ,5)
(a.) At least 25% of the total wall area is completely open.
(b.) At least 30% of the remaining wall area is open and unrestricted.
In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total of the side, back and
front wall areas shall be and remain open and unrestricted.

Attachment of the gas cylinder to the regulator and hose.
Attach the regulator to the Gas Cylinder by
using the wing Nut or wheel nut fitted onto
the regulator. Note, the regulator and gas
bottle have left hand threads, there is an
arrow printed on the fitting showing the
intended way to tighten the regulator into the
gas bottle. Warning this must be tightened
firmly by hand so that it does not leak gas.

12
Once connected leak test all the connections by brushing a solution of soapy water
around the joints and the gas cylinder valve.
NOTE: You must have the control knobs in the
off position and have the gas supply turned on at
the cylinder valve so as to do this leak test.
If bubbles appear around the connections you
have a leak.
Photo of what a typical leak looks like.
If you find a leak, turn off the gas supply and tighten or re-seal the connection.
Leak test the connections again.
Photo example of a good connection
i.e. no bubbles
If leaks are still present do not use the
barbecue, contact the place of purchase or
your local dealer.
For storage, cylinder exchange or refilling, disconnect the hose at the cylinder only.

FOR PERMANENT CONNECTIONS to natural gas or a fixed propane supply, an
authorised person, in accordance with these instructions, local gas fitting
regulations, municipal building codes, the AGA installation code AS5601 and any
other relevant statutory regulations, must be employed.
For connection to a natural gas bayonet fitting, a gas regulator must be fitted at the
inlet of the appliance, and an approved 10mm, class A, natural gas hose (no longer
than 2 metres), going from the gas regulator to the bayonet point, complying with
AS1869 must be used.
It is recommended that an isolation valve and union be fitted before the barbecue
or side burner; refer AS5601/ AG601 for correct pipe sizing to ensure adequate gas
is supplied to the appliance.
For natural gas check the pressure of the regulator, and adjust if necessary to the
pressure shown on the data plate.

setting up or down to suit your gas pressure.
Note: Turn screw driver anti-clockwise to adjust the flame height up, NOTE, you
want to achieve the lowest flame height at “LOW”but you don't want to have it so
low that it blows out on its own or due to a breeze.

Trouble Shooting
Finding it hard to light side burner? Check that the igniter is sparking, if not
check underneath that the igniter lead is plugged into both the igniter and the
probe. Check that the ignition probe is arching into the ports on the ring burner.
The burner only lights on part of the ring burner? Wipe the ports with a hot
cloth, they may have grease or food spillage on them, you may need to unblock
the ports by pushing a skewer through them or similar object to remove blockages.
No gas seems to be coming through to the burner? Check the gas supply is
turned on and there is gas in the cylinder. Check the hose is not kinked or split.
Maybe the injector is blocked and may need removing and cleaning.
The control knob will not move or it is really stiff? Remove the control knob by
lifting it up off of the control valve shaft, spray it with WD40 or Inox unceasing
lubricant leave it to soak in for a few minutes then put the knob back on and try to
turn the valve shaft free, once it starts to move freely, oil the valve shaft.
