Gas Cylinder
Use only gas cylinders, which meet national and regional codes. The minimum cylinder size for butane units
is 13kg, and for propane units is 6kg. Ensure that the cylinder can provide enough fuel to operate the appliance.
If in doubt, check with your local gas supplier.
•
Use caution when handling the cylinder valve.
•
Never connect a cylinder, which does not meet local codes.
•
All cylinders 7kg or larger must be placed outside the enclosure (under the right side shelf) on level
ground. Cylinders smaller than 7kg may be placed inside the enclosure, in the hole in the bottom shelf.
Only cylinders connected to the appliance may be stored in the enclosure, or close to the appliance.
Spare cylinders must not be stored in close proximity of an operating unit. Cylinders must not be
exposed to extreme heat or direct sunlight.
WARNING!
Hoses that contact high temperature surfaces may melt and leak, causing a fire.
Cylinder Connection: Ensure that the gas regulator hose is kink free. Remove the cap or plug from the cylinder
fuel valve. Tighten regulator to cylinder valve. Leak test all joints prior to using the barbecue. A leak test must
be performed annually, and each time a cylinder is hooked up, or if a part of the gas system is replaced.
