Connecting The Gas Bottle To The Appliance; Checking For Leaks - Monster MGKITSS6FR Owner's Manual

CONNECTING THE GAS BOTTLE TO THE APPLIANCE

• Before connecting the gas supply, ensure that there is no debris caught in the head of the gas
cylinder, regulator, burner or burner parts. Spiders and insects can nest within and clog the
burner/ venturi tube at the orifice. A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the appliance.
• Clean the burner holes with a heavy-duty pipe cleaner.
• Fit the hose to the appliance, ensuring that the screw fitting has been fully tightened using a
spanner. If the hose is replaced, it must be secured to the appliance and regulator using hose clips.
• Disconnect the regulator from the cylinder (according to the directions indicated on regulator)
when the BBQ is not in use.
• The BBQ must be used in a well-ventilated area. Do not use indoors or in a garage.
•
ONLY USE THIS BBQ OUTDOORS.
Never check for leaks with a naked flame, always use a soapy water solution
• Make 50 – 75ml of leak detecting solution by mixing ¼ washing up liquid with 3/4 water.
• Ensure the control dials on the BBQ are set to the OFF position.
• Connect the regulator to the cylinder, ensuring that all the connections are secure before turning
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.
• Turn OFF the gas at the cylinder after testing.
• If a leak was detected, retest the BBQ for leaks after taking the appropriate action to resolve the
leak.
• If leakage is detected and cannot be rectified, do not attempt to repair the leakage but consult a
suitably qualified technician.
