If re-ignition is necessary while the gas barbecue is still hot, you must wait for a minimum of 5 minutes before
commencing to re-ignite (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
Check performance of burner prior to installing
barbecue plates.
Do not smoke when attempting to ignite
barbecue.
Never use volcanic rock, heatbeads or other
material.
Always use protective gloves when handling hot
components.
Lighting & Operating Procedure
If the Barbecue Fails to Operate Properly
Turn off gas at source, turn burner control to OFF.
Wait 5 minutes before trying again.
Check gas supply connections.
Repeat lighting procedure and if barbecue still fails to operate properly, TURN OFF GAS AT SOURCE,
TURN BURNER CONTROL TO OFF, wait for barbecue to cool and check the following:
j)
Misalignment of burner tube and over orifice
CORRECTION: Reposition burner tube to properly sit over orifice.
k) Obstruction in gas hose
CORRECTION: Remove hose from barbecue. DO NOT SMOKE! Open gas supply for one second to
blow any obstruction from hose. Close off gas supply at source and re-connect hose to barbecue.
l)
Blocked orifice
CORRECTION: Remove grill plates, remove spring clip from burner tube inlet. Disconnect burner support
brackets by removing screws and nuts. Lift burner clear. Remove orifice from gas valve and gently clear
any obstruction with a fine wire. Clear any spider webs or insects from burner tube openings. Re-install
orifice, place burner tube opening over orifice then replace burner and brackets. Replaces spring clip.
Operating Procedure
Burn-off
Before cooking on your barbecue for the first time, burn-off any residual oils or foreign matter by igniting the
burner. Ensure hood is open and operate at 'HIGH' setting for approximately 2-3 minutes. You may then turn
the burner control to 'OFF' or proceed to commence cooking at the 'LOW' setting.
Preheating
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for a short time before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of
food and the cooking temperature required.
Cooking Temperatures
'HIGH' setting- Use this setting only for fast warm up, for searing steaks and chops, and for burning food
residue from the grillplates after cooking is over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the 'HIGH' setting for extended
cooking.
'MEDIUM' setting (mid-way between 'HIGH' and 'LOW'). Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking
hamburgers and vegetables.
