Lighting the barbeque is easy, but must be done with due care. Ensure to start with all the
control knobs in the OFF position. Make sure that the gas is turned on at the supply. Also, if
your barbeque has a roasting hood or side burner, ensure that the hoods and lids are open
and up. Note carefully that failure to follow the lighting procedures correctly can lead to a
hazardous condition.
Main burners and optional side burners flame thrower ignition: This ignition system
works by throwing a flame to the side of the burner to light it. Push the knob IN and turn it
anticlockwise to the HI position. There should be a click as the ignition fires. Keep holding
the knob pushed IN until the burner ignites. You may need to push IN and turn the knob
anticlockwise again several times before ignition, especially after a new gas connection or if
the bbq has had the gas line purged last shutdown.
Main burners and optional side burners manual ignition: You can light individual
burners manually by holding a lighted match next to a burner, then pushing IN and turning
that burner control knob anticlockwise to HI. You can access the main burners from
underneath the barbeque or from a hole in the side of the barbeque body.
Deluxe 4B & 6B models rear burner: Light this burner in the same way as the main
burners. This burner uses the electronic ignitor, so make sure the battery is in place and has
charge. Once lit, the burner knob needs to be held pushed IN on HI for around 20 to 40
seconds until the rear burner glows red. If you release the knob too soon, before the burner
has preheated, then the flame failure override system will shut down the rear burner.
If you have difficulty lighting:If the burner doesn’t light first go, return the knob to the OFF
position, then try to light the burner 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.
Controlling the flames:The main burners and side burners have three basic positions:
OFF, HI and LO. You can achieve any flame height between LO and HI by rotating the
barbeque control knob between these positions.
Note that the rear burner where fitted, does not have a low setting, only HI and OFF.
Special 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.
