Note:
Ensure that you test all loose connections (including the side burner) and, if
required, tighten them again when you are testing the equipment for leaks.
Even a small leak in the system can result in a dangerous situation.
Note:
These days, most gas bottles are fitted with a mechanism that detects leaks
inside the container. When the gas is being released too quickly, this mechanism
cuts off the gas supply. A leak can severely restrict the gas supply which will make
it difficult to light the barbecue.
Note:
If you are unable to close off a gas leak, then turn off the gas supply and contact
your sales outlet. Even a small leak can cause a fire.
Note:
If, after several attempts, you are unable to light the barbecue, then contact your
sales outlet.
Note:
Ensure that the control knobs are in the "OFF" position when you are not using the
equipment.
3.3 Lighting the barbecue
* Check the general conditions of the burners (see 0). If you are in doubt about
the condition of the burners, then contact your sales outlet.
* Ensure that the barbecue is placed on a level surface.
* This appliance must be kept away from flammable materials during use.
Keep the cooking area clean and free from petrol and/or other flammable
and/or inflammable substances, flammable gasses or flammable fumes.
* Ensure that nothing is blocking the burners and ventilation.
* Do not use aluminium foil in the enamel burner tray or around the flame
distributors.
* Ensure there is sufficient ventilation for the gas bottle.
Warning:
* Do not light the barbecue if you can smell gas!
* Check the gas hose for cracks or wear and tear (see: GAS LEAK TEST).
* Keep your face and body as far away from the barbecue as possible when
lighting it.
