17
CAUTION: If burners go out during operation, close gas
supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Open hood
and wait 5 minutes before re-attempting to light (this
allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
CAUTION: Should grease fire occur, close gas supply at
source, turn off all burners and remove food until fire is
out.
KEEP THE VENTILATION OPENINGS OF THE
CYLINDER ENCLOSURE FREE AND CLEAR FROM
DEBRIS.
VISUALLY CHECKING BURNER FLAMES
Occasionally check burner flame for correct operation
as shown. Either
view flame through
manual lighting
opening on right
side of barbecue
body panel or
remove cooking
plates.
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.

IF BARBECUE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY
1. Turn off gas at source, turn burner control 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 CONTROLS TO 'OFF',
wait for barbecue to cool and check the following:
a) Misalignment of burner tube(s) 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 grillplates, flametamers,
fat/grease draining tray and receptacle. 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 13. 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.
draining tray and receptacle.
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.
