Australian Consumer Law

Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if they fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

This BBQ is sold in three configurations so you only pay for what you need. Choose the BBQ on its own if you are lidding it later, or select the BBQ + Flat Lid for a low-profile finish that also covers enclosed entertaining areas. The BBQ + Roasting Hood adds the matte black ABBQMBH2 roasting lid with an external temperature gauge for slow cooking and roasting.

Artusi lists a stainless steel 80cm flat lid (ABBQMF2) for this BBQ rather than a matte black one, so the flat lid package will not match the black finish. The roasting hood matches. Check your cut-out, gas type, ventilation and clearances against the operation manual before ordering, and book a licensed gas fitter for the connection.
