BeefEater 1200 Series Built In BBQ LPG Burner
Product Information 1200 Series Built-In BBQ
The 1200 Series Built-In BBQ is available in three sizes – 3 burners, 4 burners, and 5 burners. It is designed to be installed in a masonry structure or a non-combustible material such as Hardiplank or Villaboard with metal studs. The appliance must not be installed under or on any combustible material. It is important to adhere to the minimum clearance requirements from combustible construction materials to all sides of the appliance, which is 450mm (18 inches). The barbecue has been designed to sit into a cavity or cutout rather than be placed directly onto a flat surface. The dimensions of the cavity should be as per the instructions on page 18 for proper ventilation and efficient/safe operation. If the gas for your barbecue is to be supplied by a portable LPG/propane cylinder, it must be housed safely, kept upright at all times, and sheltered from direct sunlight. There should be open ventilation at the top and bottom of the enclosure to prevent gas buildup.
Product Usage Instructions Installing Your Barbecue
- Ensure that the barbecue cavity conforms to the dimensions listed on page 18 of the user manual.
- Ensure there is a gas connection point and associated hardware conveniently accessible.
- If using a portable LPG/propane cylinder, ensure it is housed safely, kept upright, and sheltered from direct sunlight.
- If the cylinder is to be stored on a flat base, ensure the base is made from non-combustible material with adequate drainage.
- If the cylinder is to be kept inside an enclosure, ensure there is 200 square centimeters of open ventilation at each of the top and bottom of the enclosure.
- Lower the barbecue onto the brickwork, leaving at least 40mm clearance behind the rear for proper ventilation.
It is recommended to have a professional tradesperson carry out the installation of the barbecue in a masonry structure. Contact your local municipality for any building codes regulating the installation of outdoor barbecue appliances.

General Requirements
We recommend that this installation be done in a masonry structure and carried out by a professional tradesperson. Other non-combustible materials such as Hardiplank, and Villaboard with metal studs may also be used. This appliance must not be installed under or on any combustible material. The minimum clearance from combustible construction materials to all sides of the appliance is 450mm (18”).
Warning: Contact your local municipality for any building codes regulating the installation of outdoor barbecue appliances. Outdoor installations must conform to local codes.
The Barbecue Cavity
Your barbecue has been designed to sit into a cavity or cutout rather than be
placed directly onto a flat surface. It is important that the dimensions of
the cavity conform exactly to those listed on page 18. This will ensure the
barbecue sits correctly in the cavity, and that the barbecue has sufficient
ventilation to operate efficiently and safely. The dimensions of the
construction also provide approximately 75mm behind the rear of the barbecue
to allow the hood to open freely.
In creating the cavity, you should ensure that you have convenient access to the gas connection point and associated hardware:
- If the gas for your barbecue is supplied by a portable gas bottle, you will need access to the gas connection point, the gas hose, and the gas cylinder at all times.
- If the gas for your barbecue is supplied by a fixed piped gas supply (either natural gas or 45kg LPG cylinders), you will need access to the gas connection point, the piping and the shutoff valve.
The Cylinder Compartment
If the gas for your barbecue is to be supplied by a portable LPG propane cylinder, you will need to ensure that adequate provision is made to house the cylinder safely. The following must be adhered to: Keep out of the heat: The cylinder and hose must be sheltered from the sun’s direct heat. The flexible PVC hose assembly supplied must not be exposed to temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F). DO NOT allow the hose to come in contact with the hot surface of the barbecue body. Keep cylinder upright: The cylinder must be housed securely. It must remain upright at all times. It can be either attached to a firm vertical wall by a cylinder bracket, or stored on a firm level base. Requirements for cylinder base:: If the cylinder is to be stored on a flat base, the base must be made from non-combustible material. Soil or grass is not an appropriate surface. Ensure there is adequate drainage, and that water cannot collect around the cylinder. Requirements for cylinder compartment: Where the cylinder is to be kept inside an enclosure, you must ensure there is 200 square centimetres of open ventilation at each of the top and the bottom of the enclosure, for each cylinder stored in it. This prevents leaking gas from building up in a confined space. Gas vapor is highly explosive and can cause serious bodily injury or damage to property if allowed to accumulate in a confined space and ignited.
Lower The Barbecue To Position
When lowering the barbecue onto the brickwork, do not push the barbecue back as far as it will go. Ensure there is at least 40mm clearance behind the rear of the barbecue to allow for proper ventilation.
