Checking For Leaks
This should be done the fi rst time you connect up the barbeque, and again every time you
disconnect and reconnect any fi tting. Before proceeding, it is important that you leak test the
barbeque. Make sure all the barbeque control knobs are OFF.
If you have a portable gas cylinder, turn the cylinder ON by rotating the knob anti-clockwise. If you have a
wall connection, ensure the bayonet fi tting is connected.
Spray or pour soapy water (about the same concentration as washing up water) along the gas line
including:
• The gas connection at the inlet of the barbeque
• The gas hose or copper piping, including any joints or bends in the piping.
• The gas connection at the gas cylinder or the wall connection.
If bubbles appear, there is a gas leak. If the leak is at a connection, tighten and retest. If the leak is
anywhere else, or if you cannot resolve the leak, do not proceed.
• If you have a portable gas cylinder, turn the gas cylinder OFF and consult your retailer.
• If you have a bayonet connection, remove the hose from the wall fi tting and consult your retailer.
You can also check for leaks using a gas safety gauge, available at your Barbeques Galore store. This
provides an easier and more convenient way to check for leaks.
First Time Use
Lighting The Barbeque
Lighting the barbeque is easy, but must be done with due care. Make sure that the gas is
turned on at the cylinder, or that gas is available to the barbeque.
Automatic Ignition -
Footymaster barbeques are equipped with
automatic ignition on each burner. Push the knob in and turn
anticlockwise to the MAX position. You should hear and feel a click
from the knob.
Manual Ignition -
Place a lighted match or gas lighter underneath
the barbeque near the far right burner. Keep your hand below the
bottom of the burner while doing this. Now turn the burner on. You
should see the burner alight. Repeat to light the other burners.
If You Have Dif
fi
culty Lighting
If the burner doesn’t light fi rst go, return the knob to the off position and try a couple more
times. If the burner still does not light, wait a few minutes to allow the gas to disperse
before trying again. If satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, consult your retailer before
proceeding.
Note carefully:
Failure to follow the lighting procedures correctly can lead to a hazardous
condition.
