LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Burner Operation &
Ignition System Check
1. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position push and
turn control knob anti-clockwise until the control
knob clicks. Repeat action and check for
sparking at the burner.
2. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition
point, check that the ignition lead is firmly
attached to the control and sparker tip.
3. With sparking established turn the cylinder
valve ‘ON’. The hood must always be in the
open position for lighting. Push and turn the
control knob anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’.
4. If the burner fails to light after several attempts
turn off gas supply at cylinder and inspect for
obstructions to gas flow.
If re-ignition is necessary while the appliance is
still hot, you must wait for a minimum of
5 minutes before commencing to re-ignite
(this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
