This test will ensure that the spark electrode tips are properly
positioned so your barbecue lights easily and properly.
WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF ANOTHER
PERSON, PERFORM THIS ELECTRODE
CHECK BEFORE PROCEEDING.
Ensure the gas source is turned off – or is disconnected and all
burner control knobs are set to
‘OFF’–
and open the lids / side
shelves.
Have your assistant stand behind to the right of the barbecue
and look toward the front of the barbecue. Never put your face
inside the barbecue.
Press the igniter cap or turn
‘IGN’
. You should hear a ‘clicking’
sound. Your assistant should see a blue spark within each gas
collector box. If a spark is present the electrode tips are properly
positioned.
If no spark is seen, the spark gap needs to be
adjusted as follows:
•
Using an adjustable spanner, loosen the inside nut until the
gas collector box can be turned upward. If the gap between
the spark electrode tip and receiver is more than 4 - 5 mm use
long nose pliers to gently squeeze the gas collector box to
narrow gap. Return the gas collector box to its original
position, secure the inside nut and try the electrode check
again.
If no ‘clicking’ sound is heard:
•
AA battery may be installed backwards
•
Electronic wires may be loose. Remove the AA battery and
inspect the igniter junction box found behind the control
panel and reconnect any loose wires.
• CHECK PERFORMANCE OF
BURNERS PRIOR TO INSTALLING
BARBECUE PLATE COMPONENTRY.
Refer pages 15 and 16 for lighting
instructions
• DO NOT SMOKE WHEN ATTEMPTING

•
Push and turn side burner control knob to
‘HI’
or
‘IGN’

If you don’t see a spark from side burner electrode, adjust
gap between electrode and burner surface to 4 - 5 mm.
