LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time, read the
instructions fully to ensure the barbecue is assembled
correctly and is ready for use.
Remove all point-of-sale material from the barbecue.
Main, Sear & Rear Burners
1. Open the hood of the barbecue before attempting to
light the burners.
2. Turn all the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.
3. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position press the piezo
igniter button (a single click is heard). Check for
sparking to the burners.
4. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition point,
check that the ignition lead is firmly attached to the
control and sparker tip.
5. With sparking established turn the cylinder valve ‘ON’.
6. Push and turn control knob anti-clockwise to ‘HIGH’
and press the igniter button again.
7. If the burner fails to ignite after several attempts turn
off gas supply at cylinder valve and the control knob
off (clockwise). Wait five minutes before attempting to
relight with ignition sequence.
8. Following successful ignition, to ignite remaining
burners, turn control knobs to the HIGH position
starting with the burner closest to the ignition burner.
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.
Problem Possible Reason Solution
Burner will not ignite
Valve on cylinder is closed Open valve on cylinder
Control knob is closed Turn knob to high when lighting
Electronic igniter is faulty Use a long barbecue match
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
Note: If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform correctly it should not be used until serviced or repaired.
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
IMPORTANT:
• Note: If for some reason the ignitor fails to
produce a spark at the electrode, barbecue can
be lit by a long barbecue match or using the
match holder supplied. With hood open insert
lighted match into match lighting hole positioned
at the left side of the BBQ body. Push and turn
far left control knob to ‘HIGH’. Burner ignition can
be checked through this hole. Light remaining
burners by cross-lighting.
• Check performance of burner prior to installing
barbecue plates.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite
barbecue.
• Never use volcanic rock, heatbeads or other
material.
• Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.
Side Burner
1. Lift up lid and ensure it is always open when the
burner is alight.
2. Push and turn the control knob anti-clockwise to HIGH
whilst pressing the piezo ignitor (a single click is
heard). This will light the side burner. Observe if the
burner has lit. If not, repeat this process.
3. If the burner fails to light after several attempts turn
the control knob to OFF and wait a few minutes before
attempting re-ignition.
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).
