Burner operation & Ignition System
Check
1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position push
electronic ignition button. Check for sparking to
the burners.
2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition
point, check for any loose leads at either the
electrode or the ignition pack.
3. Push and turn anti-clockwise to HIGH the
control knob, whilst simultaneously pushing the
igniter button.
4. The side burner cover must be open before
pushing and turning the control knob anti-
clockwise to HIGH.
5. If the burner fails to light after several
attempts turn off the gas supply and
inspect for any obstructions to the gas flow.
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).
• IMPORTANT: Before connecting and
disconnecting barbecue to gas source,
make sure burner controls are in ‘OFF’
position.
• CAUTION: When the barbecue is not
in use, the gas must be turned off at the
cylinder.
• Check that the seals between the
appliance and the gas cylinder
are in place and in good condition
before connecting the gas cylinder.
• Do not use this appliance if it has
damaged or worn seals.
• NOTE: If for some reason, ignitor fails to
produce a spark at the electrode, BBQ
can be lit by a long BBQ match. With hood
open insert ignited match into burner
lighting hole positioned on the right hand
side of the BBQ body (underneath
side shelf). Push and turn the far right
control knob to HIGH. Burner ignition can
be checked through this hole. Subsequent
burners will cross light.
• Check performance of burner prior to
installing BBQ plates.
• 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.
