OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Preheating
• This barbecue is fitted with high power burners. In
most conditions it will only be necessary to preheat the
barbecue for only a few minutes before cooking can
commence.
• As with most things, experience will familiarise you with
the time required, to achieve the desire d preheating
time and optimal cooking temperature.
• Testing has shown that once preheated, the burners can
be turned to the low position for satisfactory cooking.
• If the unit does not operate correctly refer to the
troubleshooting section on page 19.
• If the burners are left to run too hot there will be
excessive smoking during the cooking process and
subsequent burning of the food being prepared. This
may also result in excessive flaring of the fat being
emitted from the food.
• Roasting with the hood closed only requires the
two burners to be on low setting for satisfactory cooking.
Refer below for further information on roasting.
Cooking methods
Direct cooking/grilling
• For best cooking results testing has shown that once
preheated, burners can be reduced to a Medium to Low
setting to maintain satisfactory cooking temperatures.
• If burners are left to run on high for an excessive period
of time, then excessive smoking may be observed during
the cooking process, and there may be subsequent
burning of the food being prepared.
Indirect cooking/roasting
• Cooking with the hood closed requires no more than
two burners, each set on the low setting. Setting is to
be adjusted depending on conditions and using the
temperature indicator as a guide.
• It is recommended when roasting to place food over the
hotplate to allow air to circulate through the grill without
restriction.
• To achieve even cooking of food, place the food on a wire
rack (not supplied) above the hotplate to allow air to
circulate under the food.
To turn the burner off
• When cooking is complete, rotate the knob fully
clockwise so the pointer on the knob is positioned at the
‘OFF’ position.
• When appliance is not in use, turn gas bottle isolation
valve off, after turning all knobs to ‘OFF’ position.
WARNING
WARNING
• Only use two burners on low setting with hood closed.
Do not allow temperatures to exceed 260°C with hood
closed as it may cause damage to the barbecue and
roasting hood.
• When cooking with the hood closed the hot flue gases
flow out of the rear of the hood, ensure the barbecue is
suitably located to avoid damage or injury.
WARNING
WARNING
Only use a minimum amount of oil as excess oil can cause
the flames to ignite further.
