8. Following successful ignition, light the remaining
burners in sequence, turn control knobs anti-
clockwise to ‘HIGH’ starting with the burner closest
to the ignition burner. Subsequent burners will cross-
light from the lit one next to it.
9. Adjust the heat by turning each control knob to the
“HIGH”/”LOW” position.
10. To turn the barbecue ‘OFF’ turn the cylinder valve to
the ‘OFF’ position, then turn the control knobs on the
barbecue clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.
If re–ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue is still
hot, you must wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before
commencing to re–ignite (this allows accumulated gas
fumes to clear).
• NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails to produce
a spark at the electrode, BBQ can be lit by a long
BBQ match. With the lid off, insert a lit match
underneath body into the closest opening to a
burner tube. Push and turn the respective control
knob to HIGH. Burner ignition can be checked
through the opening used for lighting. Subsequent
burners will cross light.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite BBQ.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other
material.
• Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.

not ignite
Valve on cylinder is closed
Open the valve on the cylinder
Control knob is closed
Push in and turn the knob anti-clockwise
Electronic igniter is faulty
Use a long barbecue match (see info on
this page)
Food is not
cooking or is
taking too long
Burner has gone out
Check that the gas bottle is not empty
and re-ignite the burner
Cooking surface was not given enough time to
warm up before the food was applied
Remove the food and give the burner
time to warm the cooking surface (5-10
minutes)
There is too much food on the cooking surface
Cook smaller portions

The Excess Flow device has been activated. If the
LPG cylinder valve is opened to allow gas flow
while a burner control valve is already open, the
surge of pressure will cause the device to activate
Make sure all burners are set to ‘Off’

Problem
Possible Reason
Solution
When using the
igniter function,
the burner does
not ignite
Check if gas flows out by following the manual
lighting instructions
If the burner lights up, check if the igniter
is working properly. If the burner does not
light up, clean the burner assembly (see
page 14)
Check if the electrodes and ignitor cables are
properly connected to the tube burners.
Install the electrodes properly to the tube
burners and check if all ignitor cables are
installed correctly
Check if the electrodes are covered by cooking
residue
Clean the burners as described in
cleaning and care. Additionally clean the
electrode tip with alcohol

OPERATING PROCEDURE
PREPARING COOKING SURFACE FOR
FIRST USE
The cooking surface comes with a protective coating
which is food safe, but is not designed to be a permanent
feature. It will wear away with use. If preferred, it can
be scraped off when initially seasoning the plate by
turning all the burners on HIGH for a period of time.
Care should be taken as the plate will become very hot.
We recommend operating your barbecue on its highest
setting for 15-20 minutes prior to first use. Allow the
cooking surface to cool then we recommend seasoning
it before use. Season your cooking surface by coating
lightly with vegetable oil and bringing slowly up to a high
temperature (do not use olive oil as this burns off at a
low temperature). For best use your cooking surface
should be seasoned two or three times throughout each
barbecue season.
PREHEATING
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least 5
minutes before cooking certain foods, depending on the
type of food and the cooking temperature. Food that
requires a low cooking temperature, needs only a period
of 2-3 minutes preheating.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
‘HIGH’ setting - Use this setting only for fast warm up, for
searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue
from the grill plates after cooking is over. Rarely, if ever,
do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting for extended cooking.
‘MEDIUM’ setting (mid-way between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’).
Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking
hamburgers and vegetables.
‘LOW’ setting - Use this setting when cooking very lean
cuts such as fish.
These temperatures vary with outside temperature and
the amount of wind.
