Manual Lighting

 DANGER

Failure to open 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 burner control knob down and turn

clockwise to ensure they are in the off position.)

3) Turn the gas supply valve on.

4) Strike a match and put the flame into the matchlight

hole in the front of the cooking box.

 WARNING: Do not lean over the open barbecue.

Keep your face and body at least one foot away

from the matchlight hole when lighting the

barbecue.

5) Push Front burner 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, turn the

Front burner control knob to OFF and wait 5

minutes to let the gas clear before you try again or

try to light with a match.

7) After the FRONT burner is lit you can turn on the other

burner or burners.

Note - Always light the FRONT burner first. The other

burner or burners ignite from the FRONT burner.

To Extinguish

Push down and turn each burner control knob

clockwise to the OFF position. Turn gas supply OFF at

the source.
