CONTROLLING THE FLAMES
The knobs have three basic positions. You can achieve any flame height between low and high by
rotating the knob between these positions.
Note : ‘Light back’ is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner, towards the front, recognized
by a sharp roaring sound coming from the burner. It is not dangerous unless allowed to persist. If this
occurs, simply turn the burner off, wait a few minutes, and then relight.
COOKING FOR THE FIRST TIME
IMPORTANT: Please add sand or fat absorption granules to the drip tray before first use.
The cooking surfaces are coated with a non-toxic coating during the manufacturing process. This
coating will wear off completely over time. Its purpose is to help protect your BBQ during transport
and storage.
It is necessary to season the BBQ plates. Firstly wash cooking surfaces with a mild soap and warm
water solution and dry thoroughly prior to seasoning. Use a brush to lightly coat the hotplates with
either a cooking or vegetable oil. Light the BBQ as per instructions and turn the burners to low. Leave
the BBQ with all burners on low for about 30 minutes. The coating may come off at this time. Now
clean the surface again and repeat for the reverse side of the hotplate. The hotplate is now seasoned and
ready for use. This process only needs to be done the first time you use the BBQ. For ongoing
protection of the cooking surfaces, follow the procedures in the Care and Maintenance sections.
