The Cylinder Compartment
If the gas for your barbecue is to be supplied by a portable LPG/propane cylinder, you will need to ensure that
adequate provision is made to house the cylinder safely. The following must be adhered to:
Keep out of heat: The cylinder and hose must be
sheltered from the sun’s direct heat. The flexible
PVC hose assembly supplied must not be exposed
to temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F). DO NOT
allow the hose to come in contact with the hot
surface of the barbecue body.
Keep cylinder upright: The cylinder must be
housed securely. It must remain upright at all times.
It can be either attached to a firm vertical wall by a
cylinder bracket, or stored on a firm level base.
Requirements for cylinder base:: If the cylinder is
to be stored on a flat base, the base must be made
from non-combustible material. Soil or grass is not
an appropriate surface. Ensure there is adequate
drainage, and that water cannot collect around the cylinder.
Requirements for cylinder compartment: Where the cylinder is to be kept inside an enclosure, you must
ensure there is 200 square centimetres of open ventilation at each of the top and the bottom of the enclosure,
for each cylinder stored in it. This prevents leaking gas from building up in a confined space. Gas vapour is
highly explosive and can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property if allowed to accumulate in a
confined space and ignited.
For Built-In Units Only
Attach The Brackets
Screw the built-in brackets to the side of the barbecue as
shown. These brackets are designed to rest on the sides of the
brickwork. This performs two important functions:
The ventilation slots in the brackets allow air to pass
between the sides of the barbecue and the brickwork. This
prevents the barbecue from overheating and provides air to
allow the barbecue to burn gas correctly.
The brackets allow the barbecue body to be lifted above the
flat surface underneath. This allows the grease tray to slide
out freely, and for combustion air to enter from underneath.

Lower The Barbecue Into Position
When lowering the barbecue onto the brickwork, do not push
the barbecue back as far as it will go. Ensure there is at least 50
mm clearance behind the rear of the barbecue to allow for proper
ventilation, and to allow any roasting hood to open freely.
Note in the illustration how there is an air gap between the side
of the barbecue body and the wall of the cavity. It is important for
the proper operation of the gas barbecue that air can flow freely
up past the side of the barbecue and through the air slots on the
brackets.
