5. Set the control knob for one burner to HIGH.
Start by igniting one main burner first. Never ignite all
main burners at the same time.
6. If the burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, set the control
knob for the burner to OFF, close the gas supply, and wait
for 5 minutes to allow the accumulated gas to escape.
7. Attempt to ignite the burner again. If this does not work,
consult “14. Rectifying problems” in order to identify the
cause of the problem.
8. If one burner has been ignited, you can ignite the other
burners by setting the relevant control knobs to HIGH.
9.3. Switching the burners off
If the burners will not be used for some time, they must be
switched off. Proceed as follows:
1. Close the gas supply.
2. Set the control knobs for the burners to OFF.
By closing the gas supply first, you ensure there is no
longer any gas present in the appliance.
9.4. Re-igniting the burners
If a burner goes out in use, proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid and close the gas supply.
2. Set all control knobs to OFF and wait for 5 minutes
for the accumulated gas to escape.
3. Re-ignite the burner(s) as outlined in “9.2.1. Using the igniter”.
9.5. Checking the flames
Whenever you ignite a burner, you must check its flames.
A perfect flame will be almost blue, with a small amount of
yellow at the top. Sporadic yellow flames are normal and safe.
If there is a problem with the flames, take one of the following
measures to rectify it:
The flames are... Proceed as follows...
Low and entirely yellow 1. Close the gas supply
immediately and set all control
knobs to OFF.
2. Consult "14. Rectifying
problems" in order to identify the
cause of the problem.
The venturi tubes are most likely
blocked.
Higher than the bowl 1. Close the gas supply
immediately and set all control
knobs to OFF.
2. Wait for 5 minutes to allow the
accumulated gas to escape.
3. Re-ignite the burner(s).
4. If this does not rectify the
problem, consult "14. Rectifying
problems" in order to identify
the cause.
10. USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS
10.1. Pre-heating the appliance
Pre-heating the appliance ensures that the
grill is hot enough when you come to place food on it.
Proceed as follows:
1. Ignite the burner(s) and set the control knob(s) to HIGH.
2. Close the lid and allow the appliance to burn for 10 minutes.
3. After ten minutes, open the lid and place the food on the grill.
4. If you want less heat, set the control knob(s) to a lower heat.
10.2. Preventing food from sticking
To prevent your food from sticking to the grill:
• Oil the food lightly with a brush before placing it on the grill.
You can also oil the grill itself.
• Pre-heat the appliance. The hotter the grill when you place
the food on it, the less the chance of the food sticking.
• Do not turn the food too quickly. First allow it to heat up
thoroughly.
10.3. Grilling directly and indirectly
You can grill directly or indirectly depending on the type of
food that you want to cook and the way in which you want to
do it:
Method Description Use
Directly Place the food
immediately above an
ignited burner, choose
a high heat with the
control knob for the
burner, and leave the
lid open. Searing meat and
vegetables
Method Description Use
Indirectly Place the food next
to an ignited burner,
choose a medium/low
heat with the control
knob, and close the lid. Pre-cook meat
or further cook
seared meat.
If grilling with the lid closed, you must keep an eye on the
lid thermometer to ensure that the appliance does not
become too hot. See “10.5 Checking the temperature”.
10.4. Grilling with the lid closed
There are a number of benefits of grilling with the lid closed.
• The temperature of the grill will be higher and remain more
consistent.
• The food will need to cook for less time and will remain
more succulent.
• There will be fewer flare-ups and gas consumption will be
lower.
If grilling with the lid closed, you must keep an eye on the
lid thermometer to ensure that the appliance does not
become too hot. See “10.5 Checking the temperature”.
10.5. Checking the temperature
The appliance is equipped with powerful burners, which
means that you will be able to heat them up quickly, and can
maintain a constant temperature. However, if you grill with the
lid closed, you will need to ensure that the appliance does
not become too hot. You should check the lid thermometer
regularly and take the following guidelines into account:
• A normal operating temperature is around 210°C. If the
temperature is higher, there is a risk of dripping and caked
fat igniting.
• The temperature must not exceed 300°C for more than five
minutes. If it does, there is a risk of the appliance being
damaged and becoming deformed.
If the appliance becomes too hot, allow it to cool by
opening the lid, and choose a lower heat for the
burners.
