FIRST TIME USE - CURING THE PLATE
During manufacturing, the cooking surface is
coated with a non-toxic paint. This paint will come
off completely over time. Its purpose is purely to
help protect your BBQ during transport and
storage.
Coat the cooking surface with canola oil or cooking
oil. Light the BBQ. Leave the BBQ with all burners
on low for about 30 minutes. Paint may come off at
this time. After cleaning
,
the cooking surface is now
cured and ready for use. This process only needs to
be done the first time you use the BBQ
PREPARING THE COOKING SURFACE
It is recommended to coat the cooking surface with
cooking oil before lighting as this will help keep the
food from sticking to the cooking surface. Turn on
the burners and leave them burning at a low
temperature (“LOW”) to preheat the cooking
surface
WHILE COOKING
Flames caused by fat dripping from the food could
damage the food, causing the food to burn easily.
Remove excess fat from the meat if this becomes a
problem. Removing the meat from the flames is
also advisable. Always monitor your cooking and
avoid leaving the BBQ unattended while cooking.
AFTER COOKING
To turn the BBQ off, it is best to turn off the cylinder
first, and allow all the gas remaining in the hose to
burn off, this will only take a couple of seconds.
Then turn off all burners.
DRIP TRAY
Drip tray must be cleaned regularly and checked
each time before use. Always empty drip tray
before each use. Overflow of the drip tray might
cause serious burns or injuries. Never touch the
drip tray until the BBQ and fat have cooled down
completely. Fat fire from excessive fat or grease
build up is not covered by warranty.
COOKING SURFACE MAINTENANCE
Burning at maximum heat for approximately 5-10
minutes is recommended after each use to clean the
cooking surface. Remnants of food and grease can
then removed using a brush You should use an oven
mitt to avoid burning yourself. Then recoat the plate
with cooking oil for continued protection.
NOTE: The cooking surface should be coated with
cooking oil if the BBQ is not to be used for a longer
period of time. Failure to do this will result in a layer of
rust on the surface.
CARING FOR THE BBQ
Your BBQ should be kept clean to prevent
deterioration and it will look better and last longer if
you keep the BBQ clean.
The BBQ should be regularly cleaned and be protected
by a fitted cover when not in use. Clean the BBQ
thoroughly on a regular basis, and cover it with a thin
layer of neutral oil (acid free oil).
Grease can build up on the frame itself. Most of it can
be cleaned off with hot water. Use a non-caustic
cleanser for more stubborn stains.
Movable parts such as the hinges, wheel nuts and
doors should be sprayed with a lubricant.
REMINDER
Always ensure that the appliance has cooled down
before cleaning. Hot surfaces may cause serious burns
or injuries. If appliance is still hot, use oven mitts to
protect your hands.
