Lighting the BBQ
Lighting the BBQ is easy, but must be done with due care.
Make sure that the gas is turned on at the cylinder, or that gas is available to the BBQ. Also, if
your BBQ has a roasting hood, ensure that the hood is up.
Spark Ignition
Push the knob control in and turn anticlockwise to the high position. You should hear clicking as
the ignitor creates sparks to light the gas. Once lit, release the knob control button.
Manual Ignition
You can light your BBQ manually by holding a lit match next to one of the burners using the
match holder, while the burner is on low. You can access the burners through the grill of your
BBQ with the match holder.
Difficulty lighting
If the burner doesn’t light first go, check the gas controls and try a couple more times. If the
burner still does not light, wait a few minutes to allow the gas to disperse before trying again. If
satisfactory operation cannot be achieved, consult your retailer before proceeding.
Note: Failure to follow the lighting procedures correctly can lead to a hazardous condition.
Controlling the flames
The knobs have three basic positions: Off, High and Low. You can achieve any flame height
between low and high by rotating the BBQ control knob between these positions.
Checking the flame
Look underneath the BBQ so that you can see the flames. They should be a soft blue colour with
yellow tips. If the flames are too yellow, there is too much gas and not enough air. The flame will
be inefficient and will give off too much smoke. If the flame is too pale, there is too much air and
not enough gas. If either of these situations occur you may need to clean the burners (See
‘Maintenance’ section of this manual).
Note: ‘Blowback’ is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner, towards the front. It
can be recognised by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner. It is not dangerous unless it
is allowed to persist. If this occurs, simply turn the burner off, wait a few seconds then relight.
