Operation

Lighting Pilot Burners 

NOTE:  All chargrill models incorporate a push button piezo ignition system for each individual 

pilot burner. 

1. 

Depress gas control knob and rotate anti-clockwise to the ‘PILOT’ position. 

2. 

With gas control knob depressed, press piezo igniter until pilot burner ignites.  (Each operation of 
the piezo igniter button will generate a single spark).  Pilot ignition can be viewed through the 

openings in the plastic surround of the piezo igniter button. 

3. 

Hold in the gas control knob for approximately 10-15 seconds, then release.  Pilot burner should 

remain alight.  (If not repeat Items 2 and 3 above). 

Lighting Main Burners 

1. 

Turn gas controls anti-clockwise to the first stop (‘FULL’ flame position) and allow the chargrill to 

heat up to operating temperature. 

2. 

‘LOW’ flame can be selected by depressing gas control knob and rotating fully anti-clockwise. 

3. 

For intermediate heat, position gas control knob between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’ positions for the desired 
heat setting. 

4. 

During idle periods, main burners can be turned down to maintain a suitable temperature, or the gas 

controls can be set to the ‘PILOT’ position as required. 

NOTE:



Always set the gas control knob to the ‘HIGH’ position when lighting main burners. 



If pilot burner goes out during normal operation, wait 5 minutes before attempting to 
re-light the pilot burner.
