IF BARBECUE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY
1.
Turn off gas at source, turn burner control knob to
'OFF'.
2.
Wait five minutes before trying again.
3.
Check gas supply/connections.
4.
Repeat lighting procedure and, if barbecue still
fails to operate properly, TURN OFF GAS AT
SOURCE, TURN BURNER CONTROL KNOBS
TO 'OFF', wait for barbecue 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 barbecue.
DO NOT SMOKE! Open gas supply for one second
to blow any obstruction from fuel hose. Close off
gas supply at source and reconnect hose to barbecue.
c)
BLOCKED ORIFICE
Correction: Remove grill plates, flame tamers,
grease draining tray. Remove burners from bottom
of barbecue body by pulling cotter pin from
beneath burner 'foot' using a screwdriver or needle
nose pliers. See burner diagram on page 16. Carefully
lift each burner up and way from gas valve orifice.
Remove the orifice section of gas valve from each
gas valve and gently clear any obstruction with a
fine wire. Re-install each orifice section, re-install
burners over orifices and place each burner 'foot'
into mounting bracket at bottom of barbecue body.
Replace cotter pins. Replace cooking components,
grease draining tray.
d)
MISALIGNMENT OF IGNITER ON BURNER
Correction: Check for proper position of electrode
tip. The tip of the electrode should be pointing
toward the tip of the collector box. The gap between
the spark electrode and the tip of the gas collector
box should be 5 mm. Adjust if necessary by
carefully pressing the gas collector closer to the
spark electrode.
If re-ignition is necessary while the barbecue 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
barbecue still fails to operate properly, consult your
place of purchase, or contact the manufacturer.

BEWARE OF SPIDERS.
BURNER TUBES SHOULD BE
INSPECTED AND CLEANED
PERIODICALLY.
SPIDERS AND SMALL INSECTS CAN
OCCASIONALLY SPIN WEBS OR MAKE
NESTS IN THE BURNER TUBES.
THESE WEBS CAN LEAD TO A GAS
FLOW OBSTRUCTION WHICH COULD
RESULT IN A FIRE IN AND AROUND
THE BURNER TUBES.
THIS TYPE OF FIRE IS KNOWN AS
'FLASH-BACK' AND CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO YOUR
BARBECUE AND CREATE AN UNSAFE
OPERATING CONDITION FOR THE USER.
ALTHOUGH AN OBSTRUCTED BURNER
TUBE IS NOT THE ONLY CAUSE OF
'FLASH-BACK' IT IS THE MOST
COMMON CAUSE AND FREQUENT
INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF THE
BURNER TUBES IS NECESSARY TO
PREVENT ITS OCCURRENCE.
VISUALLY CHECKING BURNER FLAMES
Occasionally check burner flame for correct operation
as shown. Either view flame through manual lighting
opening on left side of barbecue body panel or remove
cooking plates.
