End of cooking session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the “HI” position and burn for 5 minutes.
This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. Make sure the hood is
open during this process.
When you have finished using your barbecue, turn all the control valves fully clockwise to the
“OFF” position, then switch off the gas at the bottle. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool
before closing its hood.
Tips for better cookouts and longer barbecue life
1, Use the upper cooking grid (warming rack) for keeping cooked food warm, toasting breads or
cooking delicate foods in aluminum foil pouches.
2, Use the side burner of this appliance like a normal kitchen range for boiling, sautéing or frying.
3, To reduce flare-up, keep barbecue clean, use lean cuts of meat and avoid cooking on very high
temperature.
4, Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches and indirect cook or place
on upper cooking levels (warming rack).
5, To avoid losing natural juice, use long handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn foods
over just once during cooking.
6, When direct cooking adjust your burners to different levels so foods can be prepared to different
internal temperatures in the same time frame.
7, Try water pans to reduce flare-ups and cook juicer meats. Before starting barbecue remove
cooking grids and place a heavy duty shallow pan directly on heat plates. Fill half way with water,
fruit juices or other flavored liquids. Replace cooking grids and position food over the loaded
pan.
8, Rotisseries, grill baskets, vertical poultry holders and other accessories can enhance your
experiences, reduce cooking time and aid in clean-up.
9, Clean cooking grids and racks after every use with a quality grill bush designed for your grid
material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while grids are hot.
10, After every use, allow barbecue to cool down. Then protect clean cooking grids with a light coat
of cooking oil, empty grease pan, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and
protect surfaces with a quality cover that properly fits your barbecue.
