MANUAL IGNITION
ROASTING HOOD COOKING !VERY IMPORTANT!
(Only applicable for the GBL003)
BBQ equipped with a roasting hood give the option of cooking with the hood closed
to form an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such as joints of meat, whole chickens, etc. When the
hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped inside the BBQ. Thus, it is important
to make sure that the burner is turned to the low position to prevent burning of the food and
damaging the BBQ. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat will be lost every time
the hood is opened.
1. Open the gas control valve at the cylinder.
2. Remove the grid. The burners will be visible. First strike a match and hold it approximately
40 mm away from the LEFT hand burner and then turn the LEFT control knob anti clockwise
to the HIGH position
3. If the burner fails to ignite after 5 seconds, turn the control knob to the OFF position and wait
2 minutes. Restart the procedure from step 2. If you fail to ignite your BBQ,
turn the control knob to OFF, close your cylinder and contact your local dealer for service.
In the event of flash back whilst the BBQ is in use, turn all the controls and the cylinder
valve to the ‘OFF’ position. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the BBQ.
If the problem persists, check for blocked ventury ports by removing the burner and cleaning
with compressed air or with a pipe cleaner. Replace burner correctly. If problem persists do not
try to rectify the problem yourself as this could result in serious injury and/or property damage.
