Barbecue King CLASSIC 800 Instructions Manual - Connecting The Gas
Connecting The Gas
Connecting An LPG Gas Cylinder
This barbeque is designed to be used with a 9kg LPG cylinder. In certain countries larger tanks may need to be place under
one of the side shelves. This section details how to
safely connect and disconnect gas.
Carefully place a full gas cylinder into the tray so that
the cylinder sits neatly and securely into the circular
cutout.
Take the hose that came with the barbeque, check
that it has a rubber seal on the regulator end of
it, and connect this end of the hose to the gas
cylinder. You won’t need a spanner here. Just
turn the fitting in an anticlockwise direction and
hand tighten as much as you can. This should
seal it sufficiently.
On most models, the hose is already connected to the barbeque.
However, if you need to reconnect or replace the hose for any reason,
proceed as follows:
Take the end of the hose with the hexagonal nut and screw it onto the
gas inlet on the right side of the barbeque, under the control panel. You
will need a spanner to tighten it properly. If possible, use two spanners,
one for the hose and one for the inlet on the barbeque. This will make
it easier to tighten. Do not use sealing tape. The connection is designed
to seal properly without it.
Conduct a leak test before use - see below.
Leak Testing
Before proceeding, it is important that you leak test the barbeque. Make sure all the barbeque control knobs are
OFF. If you have a portable gas cylinder, turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob anti- clockwise.
Spray or pour soapy water (about the same concentration as dish water) along the gas
line including:
• The gas connection at the inlet of the barbeque
• The gas hose
• The gas connection at the gas cylinder
If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak.
If the leak is at a connection, tighten and retest. If the leak is anywhere else, or if you
cannot resolve the leak, do not proceed. Turn the gas cylinder off and consult your
retailer.
