WARNING
Conversion of this unit to natural gas must be carried out by a
qualified licensed person and a Certificate of Compliance must

may result in improper functioning of the appliance, injury,

Converting the unit to natural gas
This barbecue is set up for LPG gas and is labelled
accordingly. A natural gas conversion kit is available
(Part Number BNG1200) as an accessory if required.
The components in the kit are:
• 6 x brass injectors (natural gas)
• 700mm hose with ½" male pipe thread at one end and 3/8"
SAE Flare with 5/8-18 UNF female thread at the other end
• Natural gas regulator with ½" female pipe threads on inlet
and outlet
• 1500mm hose with ½" male pipe thread at one end and
quick connect at the other end
• 2000mm tether (mobile use only)
• Natural gas sticker
1. Replace 'gas type' sticker
• Locate LPG gas sticker located on the lower face of the
control panel and remove it. Put natural gas sticker in
its place.
2. Change the injectors
• Remove the burners and grease tray from the appliance to
gain access to the injectors.
Unscrew the LPG injectors and replace with natural
gas injectors on all valves. All injectors are marked
with the orifice size.
• Do not overtighten injectors
3. Connecting the appliance to a natural gas supply
• The appliance shall be installed in accordance to AS/NZS5601
gas installations and any relevant local gas fitting rules.
• Remove the fitted LPG gas bottle hose and regulator from
the adaptor mounted to the semi-rigid appliance pipe.
• Connect the conversion kit hoses and natural gas regulator.
Ensure the flow arrow on the regulator points towards the
appliance.
• For Natural Gas check that the supply pressure is at least
1.13 kPa and not more than 5.0 kPa, and adjust if necessary.
The operation of the Natural Gas regulator can be confirmed
by connecting a manometer to the test point located on the
side of the regulator body. With three burners operating at
maximum the outlet pressure should measure 1.0 kPa.
• Carry out a leakage check on all connections.
4. Adjust the turndown setting on the valve
NOTE: The final step in the conversion of the barbecue to natural
gas is the adjustment of the turndown setting.
• Light each burner and rotate the control knob to the lowest
setting, then remove the knob from the valve shaft.
• Using a small flat-blade screwdriver adjust the turndown
adjustment screw to achieve a small steady flame on the burner.
• Replace the knob.
• Recheck the operation of the burner
at the maximum and turndown.
• Repeat procedures for all valves.
•
Remove LPG injector and install
injector for natural gas.
