Outdoor Installation FAQ

When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind, proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible. Locate the grill only in a well-ventilated area. Never locate the grill inside a building garage, breezeway, shed, or other such enclosure area without an approved ventilation system. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of smoke. Ensure there is an adequate area for the smoke to dissipate. This appliance must only be used in an above-ground, open-air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection. Any enclosure in which the appliance is used must comply with one of the following:

IF YOU SMELL GAS, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “ON” position. This must be done only by a qualified technician.

Only use 9kg approved ULPG bottles. Certain liquid propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the barbecue beyond cylinder filling capacity. This overfilling may create a dangerous condition. Overfilled tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tank’s pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited.

To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:

1. When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than ¾ (75%) of its total filling capacity.

2. If you own or use an extra tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should never store it near or under the barbecue unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source.
     • NEVER store a spare ULPG cylinder under or near the unit.
     • NEVER fill the tank beyond ¾ full. A fire causing death or serious injury may         occur.
     • NEVER use a dented or rusty ULPG tank.

If a flexible hose is used to connect to the inlet, it should be as short as possible with a maximum length of 1.5 metres. The supply connection point must be accessible with the appliance installed.

The inner diameters of the pipe are as follows:
- 8 mm for ULPG.
- 13 mm for Natural Gas.

     • The flexible connection must be approved to class B or D of AS/NZS1869 as a minimum.
     • It should not be bent, kinked or compressed.
     • It should not be in contact with the rear wall of the appliance or in any case with parts which may reach a temperature of 50°C.
     • It should not come into contact with pointed parts or sharp corners.
     • It should not be subject to any pulling or twisting forces.
     • It should be easy to inspect along its entire length in order to be able to check its condition.

If your Capital BBQ is made for Natural Gas. The instillation Shall only be performed by a qualified installer and installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 Gas Installation code and SAA Wiring Rules.

IMPORTANT Ensure the following minimum clearances to combustible materials:
• 300mm from the sides
• 300mm from the rear
• 300mm from the base
• 1200mm above the hotplate

• Min Distance from the top of the hot plate to the lowest part of the underneath of the rangehood is 1200mm.

• For Rangehood installation requirements, please refer to the Rangehood installation manual.

Use an approved extension cord, rated for 240 VAC, 10 Amps, to connect power to the transformer box. Make sure there are no cuts in the insulation to prevent electric shock. See the installation manual for important details.
