Switching on
To check that the burners inside the barbecue have ignited, hold one of your hands about 10 cm above
the grids: you should feel a gradually increasing amount of heat.
When lighting the radiant grill and ultra-rapid burners
, keep the knob pressed down for about 5
seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this
means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. Repeat the operation, keeping the knob
pressed down for longer.
If the burners have not ignited after several attempts, wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the
appliance again. This pause is necessary to allow any gas which has built up inside the appliance to
disperse. If no flame is obtained even after numerous attempts, contact your nearest authorised service
centre.
9.4.1
Electronic burner ignition
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (see “The control panel” on page 38). To light the
flame, simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol
. To adjust the
flame, turn the knob to the zone between the maximum (
) and the minimum (
) settings. To turn off
the burner, turn the knob back to the OFF position.
9.4.2
Manual burner ignition (for internal burners only
)
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (see “The control panel”
on page 38).
Each model has holes in the side (see right) to allow the burners to be lit by
hand.
To ignite the two side burners by hand, turn the knob to the highest setting
and place a lit match close to the ignition hole. The central burner can be lit
in manual mode from another burner: light the right or left-hand burner and
turn the central burner knob to the maximum setting. If the burner does not
light within 10/15 seconds, wait a few minutes and repeat the procedure.
If no spark appears when any burner control knob is pressed, the battery on the rear may need
changing.
For instructions for this procedure, see point “9.1 Fitting and changing the battery “
If the battery is new and still no spark is produced, do not attempt to use the appliance and contact your
nearest authorised service centre.

Using the SMOKER tray
The SMOKER tray is designed to give the meat special fragrances by using pieces of aromatic wood,
available from specialist outlets. When preparing wood for this purpose, always follow the instructions
provided on the pack.
It is very easy to use. Pull out the tray, taking care not to drop it, fill it with your chosen aromatic wood (do
not overfill to prevent pieces falling out of the tray when it is opened or closed), close it and light the
burners as described in points “9.4.1 Electronic burner ignition” and “9.4.2 Manual burner ignition (for
internal burners only)”. Remember to set the burners at minimum heat and keep the wood damp as long
as cooking is in progress.
The wood in the SMOKER tray is heated directly by the heat generated by the burners close to the tray.
The SMOKER tray may become hot during use. Do not touch it with unprotected hands.
