ELECTRODE SETTING
Electrode should have a sparking gap of approximately 4-5mm.
The distance away from the face of the rear burner should less than
9mm.
First remove the cover
4-5mm gap
Adjust electrode
with pliers, holding
at these points only
Take care not
to damage the
ceramic insulation
around the positive
electrode
NOTE:
Cooking with the rear burner allows the food to “self baste” as it
is turned, any excess juices will fall into the baking dish.
Your BBQ is safe to use with the hood closed however the internal
temperature must be checked. Cooking with the rear burner is
designed to be a slow cooking process, this allows the food to be
succulent. External temperatures and breeze will effect the internal
temperature, as a guide this should be around 165°C to 180°C.
NOTE:
• Vegetables and herbs can be placed into the baking dish,
these items will cook/flavour the food at the same time.
• When using the rear burner and rotisserie use 1 or 2 of the
main burners at the low heat setting if a little extra heat is
required.
WARNING!
• Do not use the rear burner in combination with main burners
on high heat setting when the hood is closed.
• Caution / Danger:
Extreme care is required when cooking
with hood in closed position. Frequent checks must be
undertaken for the heat and temperature to ensure safe
cooking.
• Too much heat can cause fire.
DRIP TRAY
After every use, check the drip tray, drip pan, and foil pan for fat
build-up. Failure to maintain these areas could result in a fat fire or
excessive flare up. This can severely damage your barbecue and is
not covered by the warranty.
BARBECUE BODY
WARNING!
Not cleaning the barbecue can pose a fire risk!
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body with
a soft plastic or wooden scraper. It is not necessary to remove all
the grease from the body. If you need to clean fully, use hot soapy
water and a cloth, or nylon-bristled brush only. Remove cooking
surfaces and burners before full cleaning. Do not immerse the gas
controls or manifold in water. Check burner operation after carefully
refitting into body.
FIXINGS
All screws and bolts, etc. should be checked and tightened on a
regular basis.
END OF THE COOKING SESSION
After each cooking session, turn the BBQ burners to the “HIGH”
position and burn off for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off food
residue, thus making cleaning easier.
STORAGE
Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with
aluminium foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from
collecting in burner holes. A protective cover should always be
fitted to the barbecue to protect your investment from the elements
when not in use. If the barbecue is to be stored indoors, the gas
bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas bottle should
always be stored outside, in a dry, well-ventilated area, away from
any sources of heat or ignition. Do not let children tamper with the
bottle.
To protect your investment it is recommended that BBQs are
protected by a suitable BBQ cover. But please note that prior to
using a protective cover, the BBQ should always be cool, cleaned
of any surface contaminant or dirt and be thoroughly dry. Failure to
follow this information can lead to a BBQ cover being a corrosion
breeder rather than a protective tool.
NOTE:
If leaving your BBQ covered for long periods, occasionally
check for corrosion and insect habitation. Oil surfaces for extra
protection.
SERIAL NUMBER
The serial number of your barbecue is located on the side panel of
the dashboard. If you do require any further assistance with your
barbecue from your local dealer or Masport, please have this serial
number handy as it will quickly allow us to identify the barbecue.
