INSTALLATION
Gas Hook-up
LPG Gas Hook-up
Grills set for use with LPG gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assem bly for
connection to a standard 9 kg LPG POL cylinder. The LPG cylinder is not included.
Connection: 1/2” NPT male with a 3/8” Flare adapter (included). LPG Hose with a POL fitting and
fittings are included. Operating pressure: 2.75 kPa. Maximum supply pressure: 1750 kPa.
IMPORTANT!
Before connecting LPG cylinder to regulator, check that all knobs are in the OFF position and open
grill hood.
To connect the LPG regulator/hose assembly to the cylinder/valve assembly, first make sure the
main valve on the cylinder is completely closed. You should always turn off the LPG cylinder main
valve (Fig. 12) after each use and during transport of the cylinder or unit. Insert the regulator inlet
into the cylinder valve and turn clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the
coupler. Turn the main cylinder valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HI”
position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge, turn valves off and wait five
minutes before attempting to light the burners.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler
and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the cylinder valve
opening if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LPG filling station should be
equipped with the proper equipment to fill your cylinder.
LPG cylinder requirements:
A dented or rusty LPG cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your LPG supplier.
The cylinder that is used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with
a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LPG cylinder change. The LPG gas cylinder
must conform to AS2030.1:2009 and designed for use with a POL fitting only. Do not change the
regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit. The cylinder must be provided with a
shut-off valve terminating in an LPG gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for
POL connection. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed
from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of
children.
Note: when an LPG unit is being directly connected to an LPG house system, you must follow the
Natural gas hook up guidelines. The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the
gas flow to 2.75 kPa. The Grill comes with the LPG Regulator/Hose assembly installed at the factory.
The assembly, along with the entire Grill system, is leak tested. Do not remove the Regulator/Hose
assembly from the Grill during installation.
IMPORTANT!
Do not remove the Grill from the pallet until you
are ready to install.
Do not place the Grill directly on the ground or
any other flat surface without support. This will
prevent damaging the regulator/hose assembly by
the weight of the grill.
Check the hose, regulator and connectors for
damage. Look for cracks, abrasions, brittleness,
holes, dents and nicks.
Do not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the
Regulator/Hose assembly by yourself. It must be
done by a qualified licensed gas fitter only.
