BURNER OPERATION
AND IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
This test will ensure that the spark electrode tips are
properly positioned so your barbecue lights easily and
properly.

1.
With burner controls in 'OFF' position, open the gas
cylinder valve or connect to gas supply.
2.
Push the igniter button and check for sparking at the
stainless steel gas collector, located adjacent to each
burner.
3.
If no spark is seen, the spark gap needs to be
adjusted as follows:
•
Using an adjustable spanner, loosen the inside nut
until the gas collector box can be turned upward. If
the gap between the spark electrode tip and receiver
is more than 4 - 5 mm use long nose pliers to gently
squeeze the gas collector box to narrow gap.
Return the gas collector box to its original position,
secure the inside nut and try the electrode check
again.

If no 'clicking' sound is heard:
•
AA battery may be installed backwards.
•
Electronic wires may be loose. Remove the AA
battery and inspect the igniter junction box found
behind the control panel and reconnect any loose
wires.
4.
With sparking established at collector box, turn the
burner control to 'HI' to establish a flame on the
burner.
Upon first assembly the gas lines and burners will
be full of air. In order for the burners to light
Screw
properly the lines must fill with gas. It may require
several attempts at lighting the burners before you
are successful.
6.
Push and turn the required burner control as
required in an anti-clockwise direction to the 'HI'
position. Cross lighting channels inside the barbecue
body enables the flame to transfer across to the
centre and opposite side burners to ignite them.
Refer page 15 'Operation' for lighting procedure.
7.
If any burners fail to light after several attempts,
turn off gas supply at source.
Wait until burners cool and inspect for obstructions to
gas flow. See also Safety instructions (pages 3, 4), Lighting
and Operating instructions (pages 14, 15).
SIDE BURNER ELECTRODE CHECK
•
Open side burner lid. Remove plastic shipping
band from burner and pot support.
•
Push and turn side burner control knob to 'HI' or
'IGN'. Look for spark between tip of electrode and
burner.
•
If you don't see a spark from side burner electrode,
adjust gap between electrode and burner surface to
4 - 5 mm.
