SECURING THE HOSE AND REGULATOR ASSEMBLY
Type A) Screw on hose connection (Fig. 4)
- The BBQ’s manifold connection is 1/4” Male Thread BSP
- The connection between the hose and regulator and the BBQ should
be tightened with a spanner. Take care not to over tighten the joints
N.B. LEFT HAND THREAD CONNECTION OF HOSE TO ADAPTOR
(Fig. 4)
TESTING FOR LEAKS - DO THIS BEFORE USING
YOUR BBQ
NOTE - DO NOT test for gas leaks with an open ame. If
you smell gas, turn o at the source.
- Before rst use and periodically during the season, or whenever
a gas cylinder is changed, you must check for gas leaks.
Do so by:
- Turn on the gas cylinder
- Turn all gas valves on the BBQ to the • off position
- Brush a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part
water to all gas connections
- The presence of bubbles indicates a leak. Tighten or repair
as necessary
- Under no circumstances should a naked ame be used to check
for leaks
- If a gas odour is present and no leaks can be found, do not use the
BBQ. Turn the gas o at the source, disconnect the hose and
immediately contact your BBQ dealer or place of purchase for
assistance
GAS CYLINDER SAFETY
- Always change over a gas cylinder away from any possible source
of ignition in a well ventilated area
- Do not smoke whilst handling gas cylinders
- Never store gas cylinder indoors
- Store away from direct heat in a well ventilated area
- The gas cylinder is position on a at surface
- Always keep the gas cylinder in an upright position
- Close cylinder valve when BBQ is not in use and, if available, use a
sealing plug to prevent possible leaks
- Do not subject gas cylinder to excessive heat
- Do not tamper with any tting attached to any gas cylinder. Have it
taken to the manufacturer or an authorized testing station
- When the cylinder runs out of gas, have it relled or swapped at an
authorized testing station. They will ll the cylinder to no more than
80% of its capacity. This allows the gas to expand with temperatures
- Have the cylinder inspected EVERY 10 YEARS at an authorized
testing station.
WHAT IS PROPANE
It is a fuel gas compressed until it turns to liquid, then stored in a bottle
or cylinder under pressure for easy transport.
ARE ALL GAS BOTTLE GASES THE SAME?
No. The LPG that cars use is known as auto LPG. It is dierent to
propane/butane, which is used in household gas appliances. This
guide only deals with propane/butane.
HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM NATURAL GAS?
Propane and butane are similar to natural gas. They are colorless,
non-poisonous and do not pollute when burnt. There is one important
dierence, propane and butane are heavier than air, if they escape they
don’t oat away. The gas collects and forms gas pools at ground level
or at the bottom of your appliance.
