Where To Put Your Barbecue
Most importantly, you must observe the clearances listed below and on the data sticker on your barbecue.
It will tell you how close you can put the barbecue to combustible surfaces (wood, gyprock, trees, wooden fences etc).
If you don't follow these clearances, there is a chance that nearby surfaces will heat up and catch fire. If you purchased
your barbecue in a cart, you don't need to be concerned with side clearances. The barbecue-cart combination has
been laboratory tested, and complies with relevant Australian Standards.
CLEARANCES FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
Side and Back: 300mm. Vertically above: 900mm.
Keep the barbecue sheltered from the wind. Wind interferes with the flames and can prevent your barbecue from heating
up properly and can even damage some components.
Make sure the surface is level. This is safer, and makes cooking easier.
Don't put the barbecue too close to windows or anywhere else where cooking smoke is likely to cause a problem.
Putting Your Barbecue In An Enclosure
This appliance must 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 must comply with one of the following:
(a) An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one permanent opening at ground level and no overhead cover.
(b) Within a partial enclosure that includes an overhead cover and no more than two walls.
