Checking for gas leaks and connecting the gas
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 gas cylinder to excessive heat.
NEVER STORE YOUR GAS CYLINDER INDOORS.
If you store your barbeque indoors, ALWAYS disconnect the gas cylinder first and store it safely
outside. Gas 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.
Do not connect your barbeque on a LPG gas cylinder exceeding 9kg capacity.
Never connect an unregulated LPG gas cylinder to your barbeque. Use only the
hose and regulator supplied.
Never operate this barbeque without the correct regulator.
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

SAE (5/8" UNF) RIGHT
HAND THREAD.
If you are using a portable LPG gas cylinder, place the LPG cylinder onto the hook on the right
side of the cabinet, so that it is supported off the ground by the barbeque. 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. Ensure the gas
hose is not in contact with any parts of the barbeque that are likely to become hot.
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:
Never check for leaks with a naked flame, always use a soapy water solution.
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 supply, leaving the control valves OFF.
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.
