1. With all control knobs and the gas source in the OFF position, Open the BBQ lid
2. Disconnect the hose and regulator from the Propane tank
3. Turn all BBQ control knobs to the “Hi” position
4. Let stand for 1-3 minutes, allowing all excess gas in valves and manifold to dissipate
5. Turn all BBQ control knobs back to the “OFF” position
6. With the BBQ lid still OPEN, reconnect the hose and regulator to the propane tank- Do not cross thread the connection.
7. Hand-tighten only.
8. Check all hose connections to ensure that a positive seal has been made.
9. Slowly turn ON the propane gas supply, ¼ to ½ a turn.
10. Wait approximately 5 seconds for the hose and regulator pressure to stabilize (to prevent the flow limiting device
feature from being re-activated).
11. Turn the selected burner control knob, to the “Hi” position
12. Press the Electronic ignition button, or use the match and match
holder, or a BBQ lighter to ignite the selected burner.
Avoid activating the Flow Limiting Feature
by following the
proper start up and shut down procedures and performing a
complete leak test and safety check to ensure that there are no
leaks in the system, and that a positive connection has been made
between the gas source and manifold assembly.
Keeping your BBQ’s burners free and clear of debris,
checking for obstructions including spider webs, will ensure that your family is protected from serious
safety hazards such as FLASH and GREASE Fires. For more information regarding these issues please visit
www.centrobbqs.com.
Spiders and insects are attracted to the smell of propane and natural gas, and often build nests inside your BBQ’s burners,
which is the root cause of a FLASH BACK FIRE. Lighting your burners without first checking and cleaning out the Venturi
tubes, burner ports, and the inside of burners can lead to a serious flash fire resulting in damage to the BBQ, property and/ or
personal injury.
See the Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual for proper burner maintenance.
FLASH FIRES
Characteristics of a Flash Fire
• A fire burning outside of the burner box
• Usually visible behind or under the control panel
• May cause damage to control panel, control knobs, and depending on fire could damage to hose and regulator
and/or manifold.
• Burners may burn with large yellow flames
• Burners may not light
• Hot control knobs could indicate flare-up conditions are starting
Prevent Flash Fires by:
• Leak test all connections
• Remove control panel to inspect manifold and valves for damages or leaks
• Remove burners to clean and check for blockages – perform burner safety and maintenance checks
GREASE FIRES
Characteristics of a Grease Fire
• A fire burning inside the BBQ burner box- may become uncontrollable if not monitored
• Usually accompanied by high flames, a lot of smoke and black soot
• May cause charring on the interior of BBQ lid, lid side panels (inside and outside), may damage temperature gauge, cause
brownish colouring on stainless steel lids and soot and ash build up on cooking grates.
