From the elgas website, Propane is the same as LPG but LPG can include other gases, as well. The bad news is that this causes a lot of confusion and concern. 

The good news is that Propane is readily available in Australia, we just call it LPG.  Propane is LPG, so no worries!

No. It’s extremely dangerous to use a high-pressure regulator on a low-pressure appliance. Not only will it cause irreparable damage to your appliance you could risk serious injury. Please check individual product specifications for the approved pressure type.

1)  If you have your purchase receipt and the cooker is relatively undamaged, please take the cooker to your place of purchase with proof of purchase and obtain refund from them. We will arrange returns from any retailers that have refunded cookers to our consumers

2)  If you do not have a receipt, and you purchased a non-compliant item within a reasonable time period from when the defect (or non-compliance in this instance) became apparent in February 2015 we are able to offer you a $20 GST inclusive store credit to use on www.auscrown.com.au or at our office showroom. To receive the store credit, the non-compliant cooker should be relatively undamaged and be returned to us at 17 Greenaway Street, Bulleen VIC 3105 at the consumer’s cost. We have a new butane gas burner model AD888 available which is $39.95 that is compliant to the new 2018 standards, you can use the credit note towards the new burner or any other item if you wish.

What should consumers do?

Fair Trading urges you not to use your portable butane cooker.

Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) you may be entitled to a refund if you can show proof of purchase, and you should seek to do so as soon as possible. To be granted a refund, the cookers would have to be relatively undamaged. The ACL allows the return of a non-compliant item within a reasonable time period from when the defect (or non-compliance in this instance) became apparent.

Otherwise, seek the best method of disposal by contacting your local council or the NSW Environment Protection Authority. Both offer the Household Chemical CleanOut or you can locate a Community Recycling Centre where butane canisters can be safely disposed of.

Please contact Auscrown to enquire what you should do.

Yes, many of our burners, come with a free hose and regulator, please check the product description for details.

The type of appliance you need will depend on your gas supply.

LPG is a portable bottle gas available from hardware stores or service stations. In some areas, where there’s no natural gas available, LPG is also hard plumbed into the house from a large external bottle.

Natural gas is always hard plumbed directly into your house.

If you’re seeing a yellow flame rather than a blue it’s generally due to a low air to gas ratio. This could be caused by a small blockage (such as a spider’s web) in the pipe, or you might need to adjust the air mixture. Refer to your user manual for information on how to clean or adjust your burner.

The main difference between these 2 burnes is their physical size and amount of heat they produce. '

How you choose which burner will depend on the wok size you will be using with it. Bigger may not  necessarily be the best, choose the burner that suits your needs. A standard home gas cook top's largest burner usually range between 15-19 mj/hr. The HPA100LPB will provide more than enough heat for most home cooks looking for restaurant like heat with plenty of "wok hei"

HP200LPB has dual ring control and will allow you to use it on very very low heat ad increase it to an extremely high heat which would be perfect for semi-commercial, catering, and large parties

Watch our Youtube to see the flame of the burners

If you're still unsure, email or call our friendly team.

Yes, it's completely safe. Our ring burner models C20LP, C30LP, C40LP and C50LP requires a gap between the adjusting air disc and the inlet of the gas tube for complete combustion. You can adjust the air disc to let more or less air into the gas tube to acheive a blue flame.

The HPA100LPB wok burner is designed and tested for use with LP Gas only. If you'll like to use natural gas, you can consider the A12NG Mushroom Burner which has a high heat output and can be used on natural gas.

These models are suitable for indoor use - CK801PG, CK802PG, CK801NG, CK802NG, RB18NG, RB28NG, S3012PG, S3012NG, S7012NG.

If a magnet sticks the the stainless steel surface then it's not 304 S/S. It'll most likely be a lower grade stainless steel such as, 403 Stainless Steel which is often used in rangehoods. 304 S/S is more durable & corrosion resistant than 403 S/S.

A flame failure device automatically shuts off the gas supply if the burner flame goes out, preventing gas leaks. 

Yes, many customers use this appliance in food vans and trucks. However we recommend checking with your gas suppliers to ensure it complies with your local regulation.

Yes, you can hard plumb external LPG bottles to use with this appliance. Please check your gas pressure is set to 2.75 kPa to ensure optimal performance.
