Before assembling your barbeque, you must ensure your barbeque is correctly suited to the type
of gas which you are going to use:
LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), also known as Propane or Universal LPG:
Beefmaster V-Series barbeques are configured when manufactured for LPG and should have a
red printed sticker near the data plate stating “UNIVERSAL LPG”.
This is most commonly supplied as a portable 4 kg or 9 kg gas cylinder, which can be refilled or
swapped at petrol stations or your place of purchase when empty. Follow the assembly instruction
steps for how to fit and connect your portable cylinder.
Some homes have twin 45 kg LPG cylinders permanently installed near an outside wall. These
cylinders supply LPG gas to multiple appliances in the home via copper pipes (reticulated), and
are filled as required by the gas supply company. Barbeques which are connected to twin 45 kg
LPG cylinders must be installed by a licensed gasfitter, in accordance with the requirement of
AS/NZS 5601,and local gas authority requirements.
To change the gas type of your barbeque:
Your Beefmaster barbeque was manufactured to use LPG. It can be connected to LPG without
any alteration. If you wish to connect your barbeque to natural gas, it will need to be converted
beforehand. This must be done only by a licensed gas fitter or an authorised gas appliance
technician using the correct injectors supplied with this instruction manual and following the
instructions detailed later in this manual. Connection to the natural gas supply must only be done
by a licensed gasfitter. The gasfitter must issue a compliance certificate including their license
details and the date of installation. Keep that certificate in a safe place in case any warranty or
servicing of the barbeque is required
Natural Gas:
Barbeques suited to natural gas should have a black printed sticker near the data plate stating
“NATURAL GAS”．This is reticulated (piped) to your home in a similar fashion to water, so there
are no cylinders to refill. You will need to contact your local gas company to determine if Natural
Gas is available in your area. Barbeques to be connected to Natural Gas must be installed by a
licensed gasfitter, in accordance with the requirement of AS/NZS 5601 and local gas authority
requirements. This Beefmaster V-Series barbeque was manufactured for use with LPG so would
need to be altered by an authorised person for use with Natural Gas following the conversion
instructions in this manual.
If connecting to a standard Natural Gas bayonet outlet, the correct hose and governor assembly
must be used (code: NGCK250VJQ) available at your nearest Barbeques Galore store. If
connecting direct to the Natural Gas supply, the gasfitter will need to use a Natural Gas governor
(code: RCV250Q) and appropriate pipes and fittings for your particular installation.
It is extremely dangerous to use the barbeque with the wrong type of gas. Fire or explosion
may result. Always conduct a leak test before use. Refer details later in this manual under
“Safety leak testing”.
