G. Gas and Regulator
This barbecue can use either propane or
butane LPG bottled gas. Propane bottles,
normally red coloured, will supply gas all year
round, even on cold winter days. A spanner
may be required to change gas bottles. Butane
bottles, normally blue, will supply sufficient gas
in summer, but performance of the barbecue
may be affected once the gas temperature
starts to fall below +10°C. The bottle should
never be stood on the trolley base and placed
directly under the barbecue. Gas bottles should
never be stored or used laid on their side.
Never store gas bottles indoors.
For optimal performance, we suggest the
following:
Suitable regulators for butane must have an
outlet pressure of 28-
30 mbar. For propane, the
regulator must have an outlet pressure of
37mbar. 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.
