Checking for gas leaks and lighting the bbq
Always keep the gas cylinder in an upright position. Always close the gas cylinder valve
when the barbeque is not in use.
Do not subject the cylinder to excessive heat.
NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER INDOORS.
If you store your barbeque indoors, ALWAYS disconnect the cylinder first and store it
safely outside. Cylinders must be stored out doors in a well-ventilated area out of reach of
children, and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
Hose and Regulator Safety
The regulator and hose assembly supplied with the barbeque is suitable for propane only.
The gas regulator adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 2.75kPa and is supplied for
connection to the LPG cylinder. Hose diameter 8mm. Only the pressure regulator and
hose assembly supplied with the barbeque must be used. Replacement pressure
regulators and hose assemblies must be those specified by the barbeque manufacturer.
Connecting to the Gas Cylinder
If you are using a portable LPG gas cylinder, place the LPG cylinder into the left side of the
cabinet, so that it sits inside the round cut out in the base panel. Take the hose that came
with the barbeque, check that it has a rubber seal on the regulator end of it, and connect
this end of the hose to the gas cylinder. You won't need a spanner here, just turn the fitting
in an anticlockwise direction and hand tighten as much as you can. This should seal it
sufficiently.
Ensure the gas cylinder is secure. When connecting the hose and regulator assembly to
the gas cylinder, take care to avoid unnecessary twisting or kinking of the flexible hose.
After the assembly has been secured, turn on the gas cylinder and check for leaks by
brushing a soap and water solution over all connections as follows:
TO SAFELY CHECK FOR LEAKS:
Make 100ml of leak detecting solution by mixing one part washing up liquid with 3 parts
water. Ensure all the barbeque control valves are "OFF". Connect the regulator to the gas
cylinder, ensure the connections are secure then turn ON the gas.
Brush the soapy solution onto the hose and all joints. If bubbles appear you have a leak
which must be rectified before use. Retest after fixing the fault. Turn "OFF" at the gas
cylinder after testing.
If leakage is detected and cannot be rectified by tightening the connections then do not
attempt to fix the leak but consult your store of purchase.
