Gas Connections
For Propane Cylinder Connection
1. To achieve the optimum performance from your Neo Barbecue, an approved gas cylinder (POL fitting) of 9kg
capacity must be used.
2. Connect the cylinder to the barbecue, via the hose and regulator. Firmly tighten joints, but do not over-
tighten. Take care not to damage the regulator fitting. Check that ALL Barbecue valves are in the Off position
before opening the gas cylinder.
3. Leak test all gas connections.
4. When changing cylinders, disconnect the hose & regulator assembly from the cylinder only (not from the
barbecue manifold).
NOTE: Make sure the gas cylinder is fully protected from the elements. Only one gas cylinder should be stored
inside the cabinet at any one time. Do not fully enclose the cylinder.
For Natural Gas (NG) Connection
All gas fitting work, service and repairs can only be performed by an authorized person in accordance with UK Gas
Safety regulations 2018.
1. Fit the NG regulator supplied with the appliance to the barbecue manifold inlet (LHS front, under the
barbecue).
2. The supplied flexible hose assembly should be connected to the other side of the NG regulator.
3. Check that all control knobs are at the Off position. The appliance can now be connected to the NG supply
using the bayonet fitting at the other end of the supplied flexible hose assembly.
4. Set the NG regulator to the correct pressure as stated in the appliance details with two main burners running
at high. Ensure all connections are tight and leak test all gas connections.
5. When disconnecting the appliance from the gas supply, only disconnect the hose from the bayonet outlet
(not at the manifold or regulator). Always cover the exposed fittings so dust or insects cannot enter the gas
system.
NOTE: Only certified components supplied in Neo conversion kits can be used. The use of unauthorised gas
conversion kits or non-authorised personnel for the gas conversion will void all warranties.
Leak Testing
Make sure gas control knobs are Off and turn the cylinder valve On.
1. Check for leaking joints by brushing with solution of half-liquid detergent and half water. If a leak is present,
bubbles will appear (or you may hear a hissing sound). Retightening connections can generally repair a
leaking joint. You must also check the gas hose and connection at the gas cylinder. If a leak cannot be
resolved, do not proceed.
Do not use naked flame for locating gas leaks. If a leak persists call an authorised gas fitter.
Local Authority Requirements
Check Gas Type and specifications plate on the left-hand side of the barbecue, under the front fascia. All gas
fitting work, service and repairs can only be performed by an authorized person in accordance with UK gas safety
regulations 2018.
Gas Conversion
All barbecues are supplied for use with either propane gas or NG. To change the type of gas used, a conversion
kit specifically for this appliance must be purchased and installed by a gas fitter or Service Technician.
