POSSIBLE CAUSES

blocked by fat, dirt or
insect net.

Burner or valves are
blocked by fat, dirt or
insect net.

Old fat.
ACTION
Open valve on LPG cylinder.
Replace cylinder.
1. Check the cables to the ignitor are connected
correctly.
2. Check the ignitor at the side of the burner is
approxi-mately 2-3 mm from the edge of the burner
and directed towards the burner. If the ignitor sits
too far from the burner, there will be no spark when
igniting. If the ignitor is too close to the burner, the
spark can be too small to cause ignition.
Clean burner and valves with pressurised air and
pipe cleaner. Check the hole in the edge of the burner
is not blocked by fat.
Close the lid and turn the knob to "high".
1. Check there are no leaks. See section "checking
for leaks".
2. Check the rubber washer on the LPG canister is
intact.
3. Check there are no kinks in the gas hose.
4. Clean the burners.
Do not use the LPG barbecue in windy conditions.
Clean burner and valves with pressurised air and
pipe cleaner. Check the hole in the edge of the burner
is not blocked by fat.
When barbecueing fatty meat or marinated meat,
flare ups can occur. Remove some of the fat and
marinade from the meat before barbecuing.
The BBQ must be cleaned after each use, see section
"cleaning and maintenance". If the BBQ is not cleaned
after each use, fat will build up that can burst into
uncontrolled flames.
