RECOMMENDED GAS SUPPLY LOCATION

It is important to consider the proximity of the barbecue
(1) to the gas supply (2) of your built-in barbecue
structure. The gas supply needs to be located directly
below the right side of the barbecue, or to the right of the
barbecue within the structure.
If there are local codes that apply to "built-in" gas
barbecues, you will have to conform to them. Installation
must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Code as applicable.
When using a gas supply system in an enclosure,
ventilation must be provided. Gas vapour is highly
explosive and can cause serious bodily injury or damage
to property if allowed to accumulate in a confined space
and ignited.
RECOMMENDED CONSTRUCTION
MATERIALS
We recommend that the construction and installation of
this barbecue is in a masonry structure and carried out
by a professional tradesperson. Masonry such as stone or
brick, and noncombustible countertops such as marble
or granite, is preferred. Other noncombustible material
along with metal studs may also be used.
IMPORTANT: Wood or other combustible material are
not acceptable for the construction of the barbecue
structure.
NOTE: Contact your local municipality for building codes
regulating outdoor gas barbecue installations. In absence
of Local Codes, you must conform to the latest edition of
AS/NZS 5601.1.

VENTILATION

The internal compartments of the barbecue structure
must be properly ventilated. To prevent gas from building
up inside of the barbecue structure in the event of a
gas leak, cross ventilation of the barbecue structure is
required. Ventilation will also allow moisture to dry.
m DANGER
Failure to follow recommended minimum
ventilation instructions can cause gas to
collect in the structure in the event of a
gas leak. This may result in a fire or an
explosion which can cause serious bodily
injury or death, and damage to property.
• A minimum of 254 square cm (100 square inches) of
venting per side on at least two sides of the structure
is recommended.
• Ventilation openings can be located in a low visibility
area and should be protected by screening material
to prevent rodents and insects from entering the
structure.
• At least one vent should be mounted high and at least
one vent should be mounted low.
• The lower vents should be as close to ground level as
possible. Make sure that the vent area is not blocked
by interior supports of the structure.
• Access doors to the structure are not considered vents.
m WARNING: Ventilation openings must
be provided in the structure, with at
least one mounted high and at least
one mounted low, to provide cross
ventilation in the event of a gas leak.
m WARNING: Keep the ventilation openings
of the enclosure free and clear of debris.
