GAS LIGHTING PROCEDURE
Before lighting your barbecue for the first time, read the
instructions fully to ensure the barbecue is assembled
correctly and is ready for use.
Remove all point-of-sale material from the barbecue.
Burner Operation & Ignition System Check
1. Open the hood of the barbecue before attempting to
light the burners.
2. Turn all the control knobs clockwise to “OFF” position.
3. With cylinder valve in ‘OFF’ position turn a control
knob anti-clockwise to “HIGH” (a single click is
heard). Check for sparking to the burner.
4. If spark is not evident at the burner ignition point,
check that the ignition lead is firmly attached to the
control and sparker tip.
5. With sparking established turn the cylinder valve ‘ON’.
6. Push down and turn the control knob anti-clockwise
to “HIGH” again. This will light the burner. Observe if
the burner has lit. If not, repeat this process.
7. If the burner fails to ignite after several attempts turn
off gas supply at cylinder valve and the control knob
off (clockwise). Wait five minutes before attempting
to relight with ignition sequence.
8. Following successful ignition, light the remaining
burners in sequence, turn control knobs anti-
clockwise to ‘HIGH’ starting with the burner closest
to the ignition burner.
9. Adjust the heat by turning each control knob to the
‘HIGH’/’LOW’ position.
10. To turn the barbecue ‘OFF’ turn the cylinder valve to
the ‘OFF’ position, then turn the control knobs on the
barbecue clockwise to the ‘OFF’ position.
Manually Lighting the Burners with the Match
Lighting Stick
1. Ensure all burners are in the OFF position.
2. Slowly turn on the cylinder valve.
3. Place a match in the Match Holder.
4. Use the holder to slide the lit match through the
cooking grates and in front of the burner you want to
light.
5. Press and turn the burner control knob to HIGH/
LOW. Continue to push in and hold up to 5 seconds
or until the burner lights.
6. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the
burner control knob to OFF. Wait 5 minutes and try
again.
7. When lit, turn the control knob to the desired heat
setting.
CHARCOAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1. Always use high quality charcoal. We recommend
using a Chimney Starter which speeds up the lighting
process and avoids the dangers associated with
charcoal lighter fluid. Directions for use can be found
with the Chimney Starter.
2. Remove cooking grills and raise charcoal pan to its
highest setting using the lifting handle.
3. If you do not use a Chimney Starter, stack charcoal
briquettes into a pyramid-shaped pile on top of the
charcoal tray. We recommend using a maximum of
1.4kg to start your fire, adding more as needed.
4. If using lighter fluid, saturate the charcoal briquettes
with lighter fluid and let it soak in for approximately
5 minutes. If using a chimney starter, electric starter,
or other type of fire starter, light your fire according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
5. Lower the charcoal tray to its lowest setting.
6. Always light the fire with the BBQ lid and vents open.
Carefully light the charcoal and allow to burn until
covered with a light ash prior to closing lid. This may
take up to 30 minutes. If you use a Chimney Starter
this may take less time. Failure to do this could trap
fumes from charcoal lighter fluid in grill and may
result in a flash fire when lid is opened.
7. Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals
as flashbacks may occur causing injury.
8. You are ready to begin cooking when the pile of
briquettes ashes over and produces a red glow
(approximately 12 – 15 minutes).
9. Depending on your cooking method, either leave
the briquettes in a pile or spread evenly across the
charcoal grate using a long-handled poker.
10. Adjust charcoal tray height to your preferred setting.
Know when your fire is ready
Successful charcoal grilling depends on a good fire. The
general rule for knowing when your coals are ready for
grilling is to make sure that 80% or more of the coals
are ashy grey. Using caution, arrange the hot coals on
your charcoal tray based on your desired method of
cooking. Here are a few steps you can take to adjust the
temperature of your fire:
- If it is too hot, spread the coals out a bit more, which
makes the fire less intense.
- Partially close the vents in the BBQ, which reduces the
amount of oxygen that feeds the fire.
- Use the indirect grilling method, with coals to either
side of the grill rather than directly over the coals.
- In the event of a severe flare-up, spray the flames with
water from a squirt bottle. Be careful, spraying with
water tends to blow ashes around and make a mess.
- Add briquettes 2 or 3 at a time to increase the burn
time. Allow 10 minutes for coals to ash over before
adding more.
