Using your side burner

If your barbecue is fitted with a Side Burner it will either feature an integrated ignition system (in which case it will create its own spark and light in much the same way as your main burners) or it will feature a separate ignition button. Lighting a Side Burner with Integrated Ignition

Before lighting you should ensure that your Side Burner hose is connected correctly, as per the Assembly Instructions, and that the lid of the Side Burner is in the raised position.

Do not lower this lid during use or when the Side Burner is still hot as this could cause damage to your barbecue. As with the main burners, the Side Burner is lit by pushing the relevant control knob in and rotating anti-clockwise to achieve a spark. Please note: there is no Jet Flame Ignition on the Side Burner, the spark alone is sufficient to light the burner. Heat output is then controlled by rotating the control knob further.

Lighting a Side Burner with Ignition Button

On 6 Burner models with a standard Side Burner, or on models with a Steak Shelf Ceramic Side Burner, there is a separate ignition button that is used in conjunction with the Control Knob to light the Side Burner.

Before lighting you should ensure that your Side Burner hose is connected correctly, as per the Assembly Instructions, the ignition button has a battery installed and that the lid of the Side Burner is in the raised position.

Do not lower this lid during use or when the Side Burner is still hot as this could cause damage to your barbecue. As with the main burners, the Side Burner is lit by pushing the relevant control knob in and rotating anti-clockwise to the Hi position.

However, you must also depress the ignition button at the same time. This will create a pulsing spark and light the burner. Please note: there is no Jet Flame Ignition on the Side Burner, the spark alone is sufficient to light the burner. Heat output is then controlled by rotating the control knob further.
