CLEARANCES
This appliance must be installed on non combustible materials. This outdoor
Barbeque must be installed in accordance with AS5601.
Safe Use of LPG (Propane) Gas
DANGER:
Never install a propane cylinder that is more than 80 % full, as the
contents may lack the adequate room for expansion when exposed to
heat. Propane vapour may then vent through the pressure relief valve,
which could accumulate in a pool and later cause an explosion or fire.
Never store a spare propane cylinder in or near this grill.
8

Exposing a disconnected cylinder to heat could result in the venting of
the propane vapour through the pressure relief valve, and the pooled
vapour could result in a violent fire.
Always confirm that all the openings in the cylinder compartment are
free from any obstructions that would restrict the circulation of
ventilation air. Good ventilation will prevent the pooling of leaked
propane vapour, which is heavier than air, and which could explode if
ignited.
WARNINGS:
Always consult the rating label prior to the installation of this barbeque
to confirm which fuel the unit has been configured for and will be
suited for the gas that you have available.
Always check that there are no gas leaks before lighting this grill. Apply
a 50/50 solution of liquid soap and water to the gas supply connections
with a brush or spray bottle, and watch for bubbles.
(tighten connections and check again) Never use a match or naked
flame to test for gas leaks.
Always visually inspect the gas supply line for fraying, cracking or
rodent damage before each use of this grill and if necessary replace
the defective part.
Always store your spare propane cylinder in an outdoor area that is
well ventilated, shady cool and removed from any heat source. Always
store in an upright position. Never store a spare cylinder in the vicinity
of this grill, or in the vicinity of any other heat source.
Safe Use of Natural Gas
DANGER:
Always consult the rating label prior to the installation of this barbeque
to confirm which fuel the unit has been configured for and will be suited
for the gas that you have available.
