worm drive clips or swaged fittings. Ensure no
part of the flexible hose is touching any hot
barbecue parts. If the hose is damaged, it must
be replaced with hose suitable for use with LPG
and meet the national standards for the country
of use. The length of hose shall not exceed
1.5m. N.B. – The date on UK hose is the date of
manufacture, not the expiry date.
H3. Fixing the Regulator to the Gas Bottle
Confirm all barbecue control knobs are in the off
position. Connect the regulator to the gas bottle
according to your regulator and bottle dealer's
instructions.
H4. Leak Testing (To be performed in a well-
ventilated area.)
Confirm all control knobs are in the off position.
Open the gas control valve on the bottle or
regulator. Check for leaks by brushing a solution
of ½ water and ½ soap over all gas system
joints, including all valve connections, hose
connections and regulator connections. NEVER
USE AN OPEN FLAME to test for leaks at
anytime. If bubbles form over any of the joints,
there is a leak. Turn off the gas supply and
retighten all joints. Repeat test. If bubbles form
again, do not use the barbecue. Please contact
your local dealer for assistance. Leak test your
barbecue annually. Check the hose connections
are tight and leak test them each time you
reconnect the gas bottle.

hood and down the back of the barbecue.
