3.3 Lighting the barbecue
•
Check the general conditions of the burners (see 0). If you are in doubt about the condition
of the burners, then contact your sales outlet.
•
Ensure that the barbecue is placed on a level surface.
•
Keep the cooking area clean and free from petrol and/or other flammable and/or
inflammable substances, flammable gasses or flammable fumes.
•
Ensure that nothing is blocking the burners and ventilation.
•
Do not use aluminium foil in the enamel burner tray or around the flame distributors.
•
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation for the gas bottle.
WARNING:
•
Do not light the barbecue if you can smell gas!
•
Check the gas hose for cracks or wear and tear (see: GAS LEAK TEST).
•
Keep your face and body as far away from the barbecue as possible when lighting it.
3.4 Lighting the burners with an electronic igniter
•
Ensure that all knobs are in the "OFF" position.
•
Always open the lid before you light the barbecue.
•
Open the gas supply.
o NOTE: when opening the gas bottle, turn the valve SLOWLY two (2) whole turns to
get the right gas supply.
•
Press and turn one of the control knobs to the "HIGH" setting. You will hear a crackling noise.
It may be necessary to keep the igniter depressed for about 10 seconds.
•
Note: if the burner does not light after 10 seconds, turn the knob back to the "OFF" position
and wait 1 minute before you try again.
•
Repeat the above steps also for the other burners.
•
Note: On some models, as well as the control knob, a separate ignition knob also needs to be
pressed.
3.5 Lighting the burners with a match extender (if provided)
If the electronic igniter does not manage to light the burners, it is also possible to light the burners
with the aid of a match.
•
Put the match in the extension piece, if the barbecue is supplied with a match extender.
•
Keep your face as far away as possible from the barbecue and point the extended match
through the openings in the grille toward the burner.
•
Place the match close to the burner openings and turn the control knob to the "HIGH"
position.
•
Note: If, after several attempts, you are still not able to light the barbecue, please contact
your sales outlet.
