THE EVOLUTION OF PORTABLE OUTDOOR COOKING
FAT TRAY
Prior to use check that the fat tray is clean and lined with disposable foil. Make sure the fat tray is fully installed
under the barbecue before operating the appliance. Always wait until the barbecue is cool and any solid fuels
have fully extinguished before removing the fat tray. See the cleaning section of this instruction for more detailed
information.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MUST SAND, KITTY LITTER OR FAT ABSORBENTS BE USED IN THE FAT TRAY.
USE OF SUCH SUBSTANCES CAN CREATE BUILD UPS OF WASTE THAT CAN SPONTANEOUSLY IGNITE AND
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
CHARCOAL SUPPORT RACK
The purpose of the charcoal support rack is to position the solid fuels at the optimum distance from the food
placed on the open grill, to position the solid fuels correctly over the gas burner for ignition and to keep the
solid fuel central within the barbecue chassis to minimize the heat transferred through the sides of the barbecue.
Incorrectly installing the charcoal support rack, incorrect placement of the solid fuels on the charcoal support
rack or substituting other supports for the solid fuels will compromise any or all of the above, potentially
resulting in damage to the barbecue or other property or personal injury.
The charcoal support rack holds the solid fuels within a set loading zone. The loading zone is defined by a
raised rectangle built into the top of the charcoal support rack, but biased to one side. When using solid fuels,
the charcoal support rack should be fitted on the support ledges on either side of the inside of the barbecue,
with the loading zone to the top, and the loading zone biased to the left hand side (the extra gap on the right
hand side of the charcoal support rack is due to the internal protection of the gas valve). The charcoal support
rack should sit just clear of the gas burner (approximately 10mm above the burner – if they touch at any point
either one could be misaligned).
When using the gas burner to cook food, the charcoal support rack should be empty and cleaned, or removed
completely.
FLAT LID
The flat lid is designed as a top cover for the barbecue, to help protect the appliance
from material dropping into it. It must be removed before lighting the barbecue and
should not be replaced until after any fuel has extinguished and the appliance is
cool. It can be hung from the rear of the barbecue (using the bracket at the
underside of the lid) for storage when the appliance is in use, or for added
protection from strong winds.
AFTER COOKING
1.
When finished, make sure burner control knob is turned OFF (this should already be off if cooking with
solid fuels).
2.
TURN OFF THE GAS SUPPLY AT THE CYLINDER.
3.
After cooking and whilst the barbecue is still warm, remove scraps from the grill with a scraper.
4.
Excess fat and meat scraps can be scraped off the inside of the chassis by removing the open grill and
charcoal support rack to gain access.
WARNING: Some surfaces may still be hot – please use protective gloves.
5.
Clean the fat tray and replace the aluminium foil after or before each use of the appliance. Take care in
disposal of ash and unburned solid fuels.
6.
Once the barbecue is cool replace the flat lid and wipe off any fat splatter from the outside surfaces and
stand with a clean cloth.
