Using Your Barbecue
Before You Light The Barbecue
Perform the following checks
• Make sure all gas connections are tight and leak tested.
• Ensure the cooking surfaces are clean and hygienic
• Check the control knobs are on the off position
• Check that the gas supply is turned on
• Ensure the hood of the barbecue and the lid of the side burner are up. If you do not,
gases can build up inside the hood and create a dangerous situation.
• Make sure long handles do not hang over the edge of the barbecue. Injury can result
if they are accidentally knocked.
Lighting The Barbecue
Your barbecue is equipped with safety a safety feature that prevents them from being
accidentally knocked out of the OFF position. The same procedure is used to light the
main burners as well as the side burner:
1. Push in and hold the control knob down while turning slowly in an anti clockwise
direction until the starter mechanism engages at the two o’clock position. At this
time the gas will start to flow.
2. Hold the control knob in while continuing to turn the knob toward the High or
twelve o’clock position.
3. The starter mechanism will click and the main burner will now light. Continue
turning the knob slowly until it rests in the twelve o’clock position.
If the burner is alight, release the knob.
If the burner does not light
Keep the control knob pushed in and turn the control knob in a clockwise direction
to return to the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes for the gas to disperse and then repeat
steps 1-3. If you cannot light the burners, call your retailer before proceeding.
