LIGHTING THE BURNERS WITH A
MATCH
Left and right at the bottom of the burner
box is a small opening that can be used to
light the burners with a match, if the elec-
tronic igniter does not work. (Fig. G)
• Open the lid of the barbecue
• Place a match in the match holder
provided (Fig. G)
• Hold a burning match through the
hole, approx. 13 mm from the burner
• Open the gas cylinder valve.
• Push the required control knob and
turn to 'HIGH'. The burner should
light within 5 seconds. If not, turn the
control knob off and wait 5 minutes
to allow the gas to escape.
• Repeat steps 1 through 5. If the
burner still does not light after 3
attempts, read the chapter 'Trouble-
shooting Guide'
LIGHTING THE OTHER BURNERS
• As soon as the first burner has been
lighted, you only need to put the con-
trol knob of the other burner(s) in the
position 'HIGH' to light them.
LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNER USING
THE IGNITER
To light the side burner, use the igniter on
the control panel and the control knob on
the left of the control panel.
• Press the igniter until you hear
sparks.
• Holding down the igniter, press the
control knob of the side burner and
turn to 'HIGH'
• Repeat a number of times if the
burner does not light immediately.
• If the burner does not light after 5 se-
conds, turn the control knob to 'OFF'
and wait 5 minutes to allow the gas
to escape.
• Repeat steps 1 through 3. If the
burner still does not light, read the
chapter 'Troubleshooting Guide' or
use a match as described below.
Note:
• the maximum load of the side burner
is 9 kg!
• the maximum diameter of the cooking
vessel is 220 mm

LIGHTING THE SIDE BURNER WITH A
MATCH
• Place a match in the match holder
provided
• Hold a burning match approx. 13
mm from the burner (Fig. H)
• Push the control knob of the side
burner and turn to 'HIGH'. The bur-
ner should light within 5 seconds. If
not, turn the control knob 'OFF' and
wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to
escape.
• Repeat steps 1 through 3. If the
burner still does not light, read the
chapter 'Troubleshooting Guide'
to determine the cause and the
remedy.
VISUAL CHECK OF THE FLAMES
I
If the flames of the burners jump out of the
burner box when the barbecue is in use,
immediately turn off the control knobs.
Wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to escape
before relighting the barbecue. Read the
chapter 'Troubleshooting Guide' if the
problem persists.
Each time you light the barbecue you
should check the flames. (Fig. I) A proper
flame is almost comletely blue, with some
yellow at the top. If the flame is abnormally
small and for the most part yellow, switch
off the barbecue and check the venturi
tubes for obstructions, or read the chapter
'Troubleshooting Guide'.
SWITCHING OFF THE BARBECUE
• Close the gas cylinder valve
• Turn all control knobs of the burners
to 'OFF'.
If you follow the above order, there will be
no more pressurized gas in the system.
USEFUL TIPS FOR USE OF THE
BARBECUE
USING YOUR BARBECOOK FOR THE
FIRST TIME
When using your gas barbecue for the first
time, you must first allow the unit to run in
by operating it for a short period of time
without any food. To run in the barbe-
cue, light the barbecue. Close the lid and
maintain the temperature at 'HIGH' for
15 minutes. Do not open the lid during
this procedure. You then open the lid and
allow the barbecue to operate for another
5 minutes at 'HIGH'. The barbecue is now
ready for use.
WARMING UP THE BARBECUE
Allow the barbecue to warm up before pla-
cing any food on it. Close the lid and heat
the cooking surface for at least 10 minutes
in the setting 'HIGH'. To bake at a lower
temperature than the setting 'HIGH', turn
the control knobs to the required position
before placing any food on the barbecue.
COOKING TIME
The actual cooking time depends on vari-
ous factors such as taste, outside tempe-
rature and wind. Experience will teach you
how to estimate this time.
KEEPING FLARE-UPS UNDER CON-
TROL
During barbecuing, some flare-ups are
natural. Too many flare-ups, however, will
increase the temperature in the barbecue,
thereby causing accumulated fat to ignite
and cause fire.
To reduce flare-ups:
HIGH
• Remove excess fat from the meat
LOW before baking
• Bake fat meat (chicken and pork) at
a low setting
• Check that the hole in front of the fat
drain is not blocked and the fat drip
cup is not full
• Bake with closed lid to cut off the air
supply and lower the heat settings
NOTE: If the lid is closed, your barbecue
will retain a more constant temperature
and food can be baked faster and with less
energy.
Should the burner(s) go out during baking,
open the lid, turn off the burner(s) and wait
5 minutes to allow the gas to escape before
relighting the burner.
HOW TO PREVENT FOOD FROM STIC-
KING TO THE GRID
• Rub food lightly with oil before you
place it on the grid
