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.

SIDE BURNER
OPERATING PROCEDURE
• Lid must be open before lighting
• Push and turn the required burner to ‘HI’;
simultaneously push the Electronic Ignition button
• If igniter fails to produce a spark, use a match to
light burner.
• 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
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.

PERATING PROCEDURE
• Hood must be open before lighting
• Set burner controls to ‘OFF’ and open the gas
valve
• Push and turn either burner 1 or 2 to ‘HI’;
simultaneously push the electronic ignition button
NOTE:
If the burner does not light, turn to
‘OFF’ and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
• From the lit burner cross light the adjacent burner
by turning the burner control to ‘HI’
• If ignition cannot be achieved.
See: If BBQ Fails To Operate Properly.
NOTE:
Leak test all connections thoroughly with a
soapy water solution before lighting.
• With burner controls (A) in ‘OFF’ position, turn on
gas supply
• At first assembly, the gas lines and burners (E)
will be full of air. The lines must fill with gas.
It may require several attempts before success
• Push the igniter button (B) and check for sparking
at the stainless steel gas collectors (C)
• If a spark is not evident, check that the ignition
lead is firmly attached to the spark plug (D)
(under front of BBQ)
• With sparking established, turn the burner controls
(A) to ‘HI’ while simultaneously pressing the igniter
button (B)
NOTE:
Ensure other burner controls are in
‘OFF’ position as you perform each check.
• If burners fail to light, turn off gas supply at
source. Inspect for obstructions.
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.
IMPORTANT:
Never use all
burners on ‘HI’ when
cooking with hood down.
• Use only burners as
indicated by diagram for
cooking with the hood
down
• Position flametamer and
grillplate or cooking pan
over centre burners
• Place drip pan on flametamer to collect meat
juices for making gravy
• Close hood and adjust burners to ‘LO’
• Check progress periodically.
