• Do not smoke!
• Turn off gas at source, turn burner control to
• Wait five minutes before trying again
• Check gas supply / connections
• Repeat lighting procedure and, if BBQ still fails to
operate properly, TURN OFF GAS AT SOURCE,
TURN BURNER CONTROLS TO , wait for BBQ
to cool and check the following:
a) Obstruction in gas line
CORRECTION: Remove hose from BBQ.
Open gas supply for one second to clear any
obstruction from hose. Close off gas supply at
source and reconnect hose to BBQ.
b) Misalignment of igniter on burner
CORRECTION: The tip of the electrode should be
pointing toward the collector box. The gap
between the spark electrode and the tip of the
collector box should be 3 - 5 mm. Adjust if
necessary by carefully bending.
If re-ignition is necessary while the BBQ is still hot,
you must wait for a minimum of five minutes before
commencing to re-ignite.
(This allows accumulated
gas to clear).
If all check / corrections have been made and BBQ
still fails to operate properly, consult your BBQ dealer
or gas appliance service person.
IF BBQ FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY
SPIDERS AND INSECTS CAN OCCASIONALLY
SPIN WEBS OR MAKE NESTS IN THE BURNER
TUBES. THESE CAN OBSTRUCT GAS FLOW
WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
THIS IS KNOWN AS ‘FLASH-BACK’ AND CAN
CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO BBQ AND CREATE
AN UNSAFE OPERATING ENVIRONMENT.
FREQUENT INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF THE
BURNER TUBES IS RECOMMENDED.
