6. Important Information
Please read these instructions carefully before
assembly and use of your barbecue.
Retain these instructions for future reference.
This product is for outdoors use only. Do not
use indoors.
Do not use the barbecue or store gas bottles
below ground level. LP gas is heavier than air
so if a leak occurs the gas will collect at a low
level and could ignite in the presence of a
flame or spark.
For use with LPG bottled gas only. A suitable
regulator must be used for butane, propane or
mixes.
Remove plastic wrap from any part before
lighting.
Do not use within 1m of any flammable
structure or surface. Do not use under any
combustible surface.
LP gas bottles should never be placed directly
underneath the barbecue.
LP gas bottles should never be stored or used
laid on their side, in the horizontal position. A
leak would be very serious and liquid could
enter the gas line with serious result.
Never store gas bottles indoors.
Open the barbecue hood or lid before lighting.
Once lit, do not move the barbecue until it has
completely cooled, after use.
This barbecue must not be left unattended
when lit.

Grip only the centre of the handle. Always use
oven gloves when cooking or carrying out any
adjustments to the barbecue.
Use purpose designed barbecue tools with
long, heat resistant handles.
Use caution when opening the hood or lid, as
hot steam inside is released upon opening.
Parts of this barbecue become very hot – care
must be taken, especially when children,
elderly people, and animals are present.
Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle after

7. Gas, Regulator and Hose

This barbecue can use either propane or butane
or propane / butane mixed LPG (liquid petroleum
gas) bottled gas. Propane bottles, will supply gas
all year round, even on cold winter days. Butane
bottles will supply sufficient gas in summer, but it
may affect the performance of the barbecue and
restrict the heat output available from the burners,
particularly once the gas temperature starts to fall
below +10° C. A spanner may be required to
change gas bottles.
•
The hose should hang freely with no bends,
twisting, tension, folds, or kinks that could
obstruct free flow of gas. Always inspect the
hose for cuts, cracks, or excessive wear
before use.
•
Apart from the connection point, no part of
the hose should touch any hot barbecue
parts. If the hose shows any sign of damage
it must be replaced with a hose suitable for
use with LP gas which meets the national
standards for the country of use.
•
A suitable hose must comply with ISO3821,
and the length should not exceed 1.5 metres.
For optimal performance, we suggest to use a
13kg propane gas bottle. A suitable regulator
must comply with EN12864. YOU MUST HAVE
THE PROPER REGULATOR AND BOTTLE IN
ORDER FOR THE BARBECUE TO OPERATE
SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. USE OF AN
INCORRECT OR FAULTY REGULATOR IS
DANGEROUS AND WILL INVALIDATE ANY
WARRANTY. Please consult your local gas dealer
for the most suitable gas bottles and regulators.
