Checking The Flame
Main Barbeque Burners
Move the hotplate, grills and flame tamers aside so that so that you can see the flames.
They should be a soft blue colour with yellow tips. If the flames are too yellow, there
is too much gas and not enough air. The flame will be inefficient and will give off too
much smoke. If the flame is too pale, there is too much air and not enough gas. If either
of these situations occur, you will need to adjust the burners.
Wait for the burners to cool down, then remove them by undoing the screw which secures
the burner to the back of the barbeque. You will see a screw on the right side of each
burner which secures the burner end cap. Loosen this screw so that you can rotate the
end cap: rotate the end cap anticlockwise to increase the yellow tipping, and anticlockwise
to reduce the yellowness of the flame. Be sure to retighten the screw when you have
finished, and to replace the burner as described on page 19. If you are unable to set the
flame correctly, you should consult your retailer before further use.
Special note: “Blowback” is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner, towards
the front. It can be recognized by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner. It is
not dangerous unless it is allowed to persist. If this occurs, simply turn the burner off,
wait a few seconds, then relight.
