SPIDER AND INSECT WARNING
Checking and cleaning burner/ venturi tubes for insects and
insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the
barbeque.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only cause of
“FLASH
-
BACK”, it is the most common cause.
To reduce the chance of “FLASH
-
BACK”, you must clean the
burner tubes before assembling your barbeque, and at least
once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are
most active. Also perform this burner tube cleaning
procedure if your barbeque has not been used for an
extended period of time.
WHEN TO LOOK FOR SPIDERS
You should inspect the burners at least once a year or
immediately after any of the following conditions occur:
1.
The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames
appearing yellow.
2.
The barbeque does not reach temperature.
3.
The barbeque heats unevenly.
4.
The burners make popping noises.
BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
If the barbeque does not function properly, use the following
check list before contacting your dealer for service. You may
save the cost of a service call.
PREHEATING
It is necessary to preheat the barbeque before cooking
certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking
temperature. Food that requires a high cooking temperature
needs a pre-heat period of five minutes; food that requires a
lower cooking temperature needs only a period of two to
three minutes.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
High setting: Use this setting for fast warm-up and for searing
steaks and chops.
Low setting: Use this setting for cooking very lean cuts such
as fish.
These temperatures vary with the outside temperature and
the amount of wind.
CAUTION
: If burners go out during operation, turn off the gas
supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Wait five
minutes before attempting to relight (this allows accumulated
gas fumes to clear).
CAUTION
: Should a grease fire occur, close the gas supply
at source, turn OFF all burners until the fire is out.
CAUTION
: DO NOT attempt to disconnect any gas fittings
while your barbeque is in operation. As with all appliances,
proper care and maintenance will keep them in top operating
condition and prolong their life. Your gas barbeque is no
exception.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
When attempting to light my barbeque, it
will not light immediately.
Make sure you have a spark while you are trying to light the burner. If no spark,
check if the battery is installed properly.
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 so, remove the burner and check the
gas orifice on the malfunctioning burner for an obstruction.
Regulator makes noise.
Vent hose on the regulator may be plugged or regulator may be faulty. Ensure
the vent hole on the regulator is not obstructed. 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, replace
regulator.
