SPIDERS AND INSECTS CAN OCCASIONALLY
SPIN WEBS OR MAKE NESTS IN THE BURNER
TUBES. THESE CAN OBSTRUCT GAS FLOW
WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
THIS IS KNOWN AS ‘FLASH-BACK’ AND CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO BBQ AND CREATE
AN UNSAFE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT.
FREQUENT INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF THE
BURNER TUBES IS RECOMMENDED.
Burning-off the grillplate after each use will keep it
ready for instant use. Once a year, give the entire
BBQ a thorough cleaning.
INTERIOR:
• Turn the burner controls to ‘OFF’ position and
disconnect gas supply.
• Detach the hose/regulator assembly from BBQ.
• Remove and clean the cooking plates,
flametamers and burners.
• Cover gas valve orifices with aluminium foil.
• Brush the inside and bottom of the BBQ body with
a stiff wire brush. Wash with a mild soap and
warm water solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Remove aluminium foil from orifices and check
for obstruction.
• Check spark electrode, adjusting if necessary.
• Replace burners and adjust spark electrode
collector box.
• Replace other components.
• Reconnect to gas and light test.
• Proper care and maintenance will keep BBQ in top
operating condition and prolong life.
ANNUAL CLEANING OF BBQ
GBIE
• Do not smoke!
• Turn off gas at source, turn burner control to
‘OFF’.
• wait five minutes before trying again.
• Check gas supply/connections.
• Repeat lighting procedure and, if BBQ still fails to
operate properly, TURN OFF GAS AT SOURCE,
TURN BURNER CONTROLS TO ‘OFF’, wait for
BBQ to cool and check the following:
a) Misalignment of burner tube(s) and over
orifice(s).
CORRECTION: Reposition burner tube to properly
sit over orifice.
b) Obstruction in gas line
CORRECTION: Remove hose from BBQ.
Open gas supply for one second to clear any
obstruction from hose. Close off gas supply at
source and reconnect hose to BBQ.
c) Blocked orifice
CORRECTION: Remove loose items from inside
BBQ body. Remove burners by pulling cotter pin
from beneath burner ‘foot’ using a screwdriver or
needle nose pliers. Lift each burners away from
gas valve orifice, clear any obstruction with a fine
wire. Re-install burners over orifices and seat
each burner ‘foot’ into mounting bracket at bottom
of BBQ body. Replace cotter pins. Replace
cooking components.
d) Misalignment of igniter on burner
CORRECTION: The tip of the electrode should be
pointing toward the collector box. The gap
between the spark electrode and the tip of the
collector box should be 3 - 5 mm. Adjust if
necessary by carefully bending.
If re-ignition is necessary while the BBQ is still hot,
you must wait for a minimum of five minutes before
commencing to re-ignite.
(This allows accumulated
gas to clear).
If all check/corrections have been made and BBQ
still fails to operate properly, consult your BBQ dealer
or gas appliance service person.
IF BBQ FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY
NOTE: Leak test all connections thoroughly with a
soapy water solution before lighting.
Ensure other burner controls are in ‘OFF’ position
as you perform each check.
• At first assembly, the gas lines and burners will
be full of air. The lines must fill with gas.
It may require several attempts before success.
• Push the igniter button and check for sparking at
the stainless steel gas collectors.
• If a spark is not evident, check that the ignition
lead is firmly attached to the spark plug (under
front of BBQ).
• Lid must be open before lighting.
• Set burner controls to
‘OFF’ and open the gas
valve.
• With sparking established, turn the burner controls
to ‘HI’ while simultaneously pressing the igniter
button.
BURNER OPERATING PROCEDURE
• If igniter fails to produce a spark, use a match to
light burner. See page 8, Assembly instructions.
• Use wok or pan 100 mm up to 300 mm diameter.
Larger pots may result in discoloration of the
surface finish.
Before first use and at the beginning of each BBQ
season:
• Read Safety, Lighting And Operating Instructions
carefully.
• Check gas valve orifices, burner tubes and burner
ports for any obstructions.
• Check that burner tube is properly located over
the valve orifice.
• Check to see if the cylinder is filled.
• Check for gas leaks using soapy water solution.
• Set burner controls to
‘OFF’ and connect the gas
supply.
FIRST USE /
USE AFTER LONG PERIODS
Before cooking on your BBQ for first time, burn-off
any residual oils or foreign matter from
grill/plate/pan.
• With hood fully open, operate burners at
‘HI’ for
approximately 10 - 15 minutes.
• Wipe with oily cloth to remove residue. Allow to
cool, then wash with soap suds and scrubbing
brush. Wipe clean with cloth.
