roasting hood/waste bin/side burner operation 13
Using the roasting hood
The waste bin
• Cooking with the hood closed only requires 2 burners to
be on 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 the solid
hot plate in the centre with one grill on each side of the
plate. Use the two outer burners under the grills.
• To achieve even cooking of the food, place the food
onto a wire rack above the hot plate to allow air to
circulate under the food.
• Food can also be placed on the warming racks for
cooking with hood closed
warning
• Do not use more than 2 burners when hood closed
and do not allow the temperature to exceed the
‘Ready’ zone of the temperature indicator. These
conditions create excessive heat and may cause
damage to the barbecue and roasting hood.
• When cooking with the hood closed the hot flue
gases flow out the rear of the appliance between
the splashguard and the hood. Ensure the barbecue
is suitably located to avoid damage or injury.
• The waste bin is seated in a frame mounted on
telescopic slides. The bin can be removed from the
frame for cleaning etc. Ensure the door is fully open
before pulling out the bin slide assembly to prevent
damage to the inner door.
• Do not place hot items into bin that may damage or
melt plastic.

lighted match near to the burner.
• Testing has shown that the burners can be turned to
the low position for satisfactory cooking.

clockwise so the pointer on the knob is positioned at
the off position.
