INSULATION JACKET ASSEMBLY

INSULATION JACKET ASSEMBLY

1. Attach left and right hand side panels to the base panel with 6 bolts.
   We recommend you remove the insulation wool from the panels for this process and have the side panels flat and the base panel vertical so that the bolts drop down into the holes to make it easier to bolt the panels together.
   Do not tighten the bolts up until the jacket is fully assembled. GTR FASCIA INSTALLATION
   

2.  Attach the drip tray fascia panel for GTR BBQ to the front of the jacket. The front fascia panel has two screws on each side that needs to be unscrewed and reversed. These screws will slide into the holes on either side of the front side panels.
   The screws allow the drip tray fascia panel to fold up and down.
   2a.1. Unscrew the screws with a Phillips screwdriver. 2a.2. Reverse the screw on each side and  screw it in from the inside of the fascia. Note :Leave one screw a bit unscrewed so you can tighten it up after placing the fascia into both side panels.
   2a.3. Slide the fully screwed screw into the hole and then continue tightening the other screw so it will slide into the other hole. 2a.4. Once both screws are tightened the drip tray fascia will be able to fold up and down to access the drip tray for cleaning.
   R CLASS FASCIA INSTALLATION
   2b. Attach the drip tray fascia panel for R Class BBQ to the front of the jacket. The front fascia panel has a pin on either side of it, that locates into the holes on either side of the front side panels.
   The pins allow the drip tray fascia panel to fold up and down.
   2b.1. Place one washer onto each pin. 2b.2. Insert the right hand side pin into the jacket. 2b.3. Now loosen the two bolts slightly that hold the left hand side pin in position. (Do not remove bolts completely)
   This will allow the pin to move in slightly so that you can get the pin into the hole in the side panel easier. 2b.4. Now slide the pin into the hole firmly and tighten the bolts to secure it into position and the drip tray fascia will be able to fold up and down.

3. The next step is to attach the back panel to the ends of the side panels, you will need to screw 2x 15mm phillips head bolts with a 7mm spacer on each bolt into the two holes in the back vertical ends of each side panel.

4. Now you can attach the back panel to the side panels. Line up the bolt heads on the back of the side panels with the key holes in each corner of the back panel and push the back panel down over the bolt heads which will locate the back panel into position.
   The top of the back panel should be flush with the top of the side panels when it is in position correctly. 4.1. Once the back panel is adjusted, then tighten all the bolts.

5. The next step is to attach the rear filler panel to the top of the back panel.
   You will need to attach 3x phillips head bolts and nuts with a small 7mm spacer/ washer under the head of the bolts to the rear filler panel as per the photos.

6. Now you are ready to attach the rear filler panel.
   Line up the key hole slots on the rear panel with the bolt heads on the back panel, now locate them over the bolt heads and push the rear filler panel down locking it into position.

7.  Before securing the Insulation Jacket to the cabinetry or bench you will need to place the Insulation Jacket into position. Mark the position where the hose and regulator need to penetrate through. (The regulator penetration hole size could be as large as
   100mm for the large regulators). You will need to measure the size of the regulator you have before drilling the hole. Alternatively remove the hose from the BBQ and you will only need to drill a smaller hole through the bench enough for the hose to enter.

8.  There is a small hose hole cover plate supplied with the jacket that must be used to cover the hole in the base panel of the jacket where the hose penetrates.
   This must be placed over the gas manifold to reduce the chance of gas entering the firebox of the BBQ in case there is a leak from the gas supply.

9. Now line all sides of the jacket with the insulation wool as well as underneath the jacket and attach the hose to the inlet if you have removed it from the BBQ inlet.

10.  Now secure the jacket to the cabinetry or bench.

11.  Do not secure the BBQ to the jacket if the jacket is going to be installed between two cabinets, this will allow you to just place the BBQ into the jacket and also remove the BBQ from the jacket when it is required.
    If the BBQ and jacket are simply sitting on top of a benchtop then you can bolt the BBQ into the jacket using the holes on either sides of the jacket side panels to secure it.
    1. Attach the insulation Jacket using four bolts to secure the jacket to the BBQ.

12. Once the BBQ* is placed into the Jacket it will look similar to these images below.
