Connection

Your stainless steel braai is equipped with gas supply orifices for use only with LP gas. It is also equipped
with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 9kg LP gas cylinder (52cm high,
30cm diameter). To connect the LP gas supply cylinder, please follow the steps below:

1. Make sure cylinder valve is in the complete off position (turn clockwise to stop)
2. Check cylinder valve to ensure it has proper internal female threads .
3. Make sure all burner valves are in their off position.
4. Inspect valve connections, port, and regulator assembly. Look for any

damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never
attempt to use damaged or obstructed equipment. See your local LP gas
dealer for repair.
