USING YOUR BARBECUE

Before You Light The Barbecue
Perform the following checks
• Make sure all gas connections are tight and leak tested�
• Ensure the cooking surfaces are clean and hygienic�
• Check the control knobs are in the off position�
• Check that the gas supply is turned on�
• Ensure the hood of the barbecue and the lid of the side
burner are up� If you do not, gases can build up inside
the hood and create a dangerous situation�
• Make sure long handles do not hang over the edge of
the barbecue� Injury can result if they are accidentally
knocked�
Grease Tray
Neatly line the grease tray with a couple of sheets of
aluminium foil to aid in clean up� Cut the foil to shape and
make sure that the foil sits on the bottom of the tray�
Fill the tray with a 6mm (1/4") layer of dry sand or other
non-combustible absorbent material to absorb grease�
Change the foil and absorbent material regularly to reduce
the likelihood of a grease tray fire
Lighting The Barbecue
The same procedure is used to light the main burners as
well as the side burner:
1� Push in and hold the control knob down while turning
slowly in an anti-clockwise direction until the starter
mechanism engages at the two o'clock position� At this
time the gas will start to flow�
2� Hold the control knob in while continuing to turn the
knob toward the High or twelve o'clock position�
3� The starter mechanism will click and the main burner
will now light� Continue turning the knob slowly until it
rests in the twelve o'clock position�
If the burner is alight, release the knob�
The requirement to press the knob in before turning
is a safety feature that prevents the knobs from being
accidentally turned on�
If the burner does not light
Keep the control knob pushed in and turn the control knob
in a clockwise direction to return to the OFF position� Wait
5 minutes for the gas to disperse and then repeat steps
1-3� If you cannot light the burners, call your retailer before
proceeding�
Manual lighting

to the High position, then use a long match to light the left

direction until the Off position is reached�
After Use

after you have finished cooking� This helps to burn away any
excess food residues and oil, and makes cleaning easier�

(for LPG/propane) or shut-off valve (for Natural Gas)�
