PROBLEM
SOLUTION
When attempting to light my braai, it will
not light immediately.
Make sure you have a spark while you are trying to ignite the burner
If there is no spark:
-Ensure that the wire is connected to the electrode assembly.
-Clean wire (s) and / or electrode with rubbing alcohol and a clean swab. Wipe
with a clean cloth.
-Check to see if the other burners operate. If they do, check the gas orifice on
the malfunctioning burner for any obstructions.
Regulator makes noise.
-Vent hole on the regulator may be plugged or regulator may be faulty. Ensure
the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. If there is an obstruction, clear
the hole, close the gas control valves. Wait ten minutes and re-start.
-Check your flames for proper performance. If the flames are not correct (refer to
diagram), replace the regulator.
Braai only heats to 200-300 degrees.
-Check to see if the fuel hose is bent or kinked.
-Make sure the braai area is clear of dust.
-Make sure the burner and orifices are clean.
-Check for spiders and insects.
-The regulator has a safety device that restricts the flow of gas in the event of a
leak. This safety device can be triggered without a gas leak. To reset the safety
device, turn off all burners and close the LP cylinder valve. Disconnect the
regulator from the LP cylinder and wait one minute. Reconnect the regulator to
the LP cylinder and slowly open the LP cylinder valve until the valve is fully open.
Light all burners and observe the temperature.
Braai takes a long time to preheat.
-Normal preheat 500-600 degrees, takes about 10-15 min. Cold weather and
wind may effect your preheat time.
Burner flames are not light blue.
-Too much or not enough air to create proper flames.
-Cold weather can affect the mixture of gas and air. Burner adjustment may be
required.
-Braai is in a windy location.
