MAIN BURNER MANUAL LIGHTING

DANGER

Failure to open the lid while igniting the barbecue’s burners,

or not waiting 5 minutes to allow the gas to clear if the

barbecue does not light, may result in an explosive flame-up

which can cause serious bodily injury or death.

1) Open the lid.
2) Make sure all burner control knobs are turned OFF. (Push each knob down and
turn clockwise to ensure they are in the OFF position.)
3) Turn the gas supply valve on.
4) Insert match holder with lit match into the matchlight hole in the front of the
cooking box.

WARNING: Do not lean over open barbecue. Keep your face

and body at least one foot away from the matchlight hole

when lighting the barbecue.

5) Push BURNER 1 control knob down and turn to START/HI.
6) Check that the burner is lit by looking through the matchlight hole on the front of
the cooking box. You should see a flame.

WARNING: If the burner does not light in five seconds, turn

the Burner 1 control knob to OFF and wait 5 minutes to let

the gas clear before you try again.

7) After BURNER 1 is lit you can turn on BURNER 2 (and BURNER 3).
Note - Always light BURNER 1 first. The other burners ignite from BURNER 1.

TO EXTINGUISH

Push down and turn each burner control knob clockwise to the OFF position. Turn gas
supply OFF at the source.

PROBLEM CHECK CURE

Burners burn with a yellow or orange flame, in
conjunction with the smell of gas.
Inspect Spider / Insect Screens for possible obstructions.
(Blockage of holes.)
Clean Spider / Insect Screens. (See Section “Annual
Maintenance”)
Burner does not light, or flame is low in “HI”
position.
Is fuel hose bent or kinked? Straighten fuel hose.
Does the burner light with a match? If you can light Burner 1 with a match, then check the
Crossover® ignition system.
Experiencing flare-ups:
CAUTION: Do not line the bottom tray with
aluminum foil.
Are you preheating barbecue in the prescribed manner? All burners on “HI” for 10 to 15 minutes for preheating.
Are the cooking grates and Flavorizer® bars heavily
coated with burned-on grease?
Clean thoroughly. (See Section “Cleaning”)
Is the bottom tray “dirty” and not allowing grease to flow
into catch pan?
Clean bottom tray.
Burner flame pattern is erratic. Flame is low when
burner is on “HI.” Flames do not run the whole
length of the burner tube.
Are burners clean? Clean burners. (See Section “Maintenance”.)
Inside of lid appears to be “peeling.” (Resembles
paint peeling.)
The lid is porcelain enamel or stainless steel, not paint.
It cannot “peel”. What you are seeing is baked on grease
that has turned to carbon and is flaking off.
THIS IS NOT A DEFECT.
Clean thoroughly. (See Section “Cleaning”.)
Cabinet doors are not aligned. Check the adjustment pin on the bottom of each door. Loosen adjustment nut/s. Slide door/s until aligned. Tighten
