G. Gas and Regulator
This barbecue can run on butane or propane LPG
(liquid petroleum gas) bottled gas. Butane gas is
normally supplied in blue bottles. Propane gas is
supplied under a number of different names and
bottle colours. Butane gas is suitable for your
barbecue in normal use but you may notice a
decrease in performance when the gas temperature
start s to fall below +10 degrees Celsius. If this
happens we recommend propane gas is used. If in
doubt, please consult your gas dealer/distributor. The
gas bottle should never be stood on the trolley base
or placed directly under the barbecue. Do not use or
store a gas bottle on its side.
For optimal performance, we suggest the following:
Suitable regulators for butane must have an outlet
pressure of 28mbar. 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.
If in doubt, please consult your gas
dealer/distributor .
H. Installation
H1. Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and should be
placed in a well-ventilated area. Take care to ensure
that it is not placed UNDER any combustible surface.
The sides of the barbecue should NEVER be closer
than 1 metre from any combustible surface. Keep
this barbecue away from any flammable materials!
H2. Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body. Position the gas supply bottle on
level ground next to the barbecue and safely away
from any source of heat. Should you need to change
the gas bottle, confirm that the barbecue is switched
off, and that there are no sources of ignition
(cigarettes, open flame, sparks, etc.) near before
proceeding. Inspect the gas hose to ensure it is free
of any twisting or tension. The hose should hang
freely with no bends, folds, or kinks that could
obstruct free flow of gas. Apart from the connection
point, no part of the hose should touch any hot
barbecue parts. Always inspect the hose for cuts,
cracks, or excessive wear before use. 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 the hose shall not
exceed 1.5m. N.B.-The date on U.K. orange hose is
the date of manufacture, not the expiry date.
