IF BBQ FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY
• Do not smoke while checking!
• Turn off the gas at source, turn burner control to “OFF”.
• Wait five minutes before trying again.
• Check gas supply / connections.
• Repeat lighting procedure and, if BBQ still fails to operate properly, turn off the gas at source, and
turn the burner controls to “OFF”. Wait for BBQ to cool down and check the following:
a) Misalignment of burner tube(s) over orifice(s).
CORRECTION: Re-position burner tube to properly sit over orifice.
b) Obstruction in gas line.
CORRECTION: Remove hose from BBQ.
Open gas supply for one second to clear any obstruction from hose. Close off gas supply at source
and reconnect hose to BBQ.
c) Blocked orifice
CORRECTION: Remove loose items from inside BBQ body. Remove burners by pulling cotter pin from
beneath burner “foot” using a screwdriver or needle-nose pliers. Lift each burner away from gas valve
orifice; clear any obstruction with a fine wire. Re-install burners over orifices and seat each burner
“foot” into mounting bracket at the bottom of BBQ body. Re-install cotter pins and cooking
components.
d) Misalignment of igniter on burner
CORRECTION: The tip of the electrode should be pointing towards the collector box. The distance
between the spark electrode and the tip of the collector box should be 3-5 mm. Adjust if necessary by
bending carefully.
If re-ignition is necessary while the BBQ is still hot, wait for at least five minutes before commencing
to re- ignite. (This allows accumulated gas to clear).
If all checks/corrections have been made and BBQ still fails to operate properly, consult your BBQ
dealer or gas appliance service person.
