or regulator.

 

• 

Insert  lit  match  through  the  right  match-
lighting  hole  on  the  right  side  of  the 
barbecue  body  and  place  near rightmost 
burner porthole. 

• 

Push and turn the rightmost control knob 
anti-clockwise  to  the  high position,  taking 
care to protect yourself from the flames. 

• 

When  the  right  burner  is  lit,  turn  the 
remaining burners on from right to left. 

• 

Confirm that each burner is alight before 
turning on the next burner. 

• 

If a burner fails to ignite, contact your local 
dealer for assistance. 

• 

After ignition, turn the burners to the high 
position for 3-5 minutes in order to pre-heat 
the barbecue. This should be done before 
each cooking session. 

• 

After  completion  of  preheating,  turn  all 
burners to the low position for best cooking 
results. 

 

Grill Cooking 

The burners heat up the lava rock underneath 
the grill, which in turn heats the food on the grill. 
The  natural  food  juices  produced  during 
cooking  fall  onto  the  lava  rock  below  and 
vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes 
the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that 
unique barbecued flavour.  

 
Griddle Plate Cooking

 

The  burners  heat  the  griddle  plate  directly, 
which then cooks the food on contact. Griddle 
plates allow for the cooking of smaller items, 
such as seafood, which could fall through the 
spaces of  a grill. They are also suitable for 
cooking  items  that  require  high-temperature/
short-duration cooking, such as vegetables and 
smaller cuts of fish. Similarly, it can be used in 
exactly  the  same  way  as  a  griddle  in  the 
kitchen, for searing steaks, cooking eggs, etc. 
Alternatively, it can be used for heating pans or 
keeping food warm. 
 

Roasting Hood Cooking 

Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give 
the  option to  form  an ‘oven’  for roasting  or 
baking food, such as joints of meat or whole 
chickens, etc. More even cooking of food will 
actually be achieved by using the barbecue with 
the hood down. 

However, this should only be 

done with the burners on low.   
 

For best results, place the food you wish to 
bake or roast on a metal baking tray and set it 

on one side of the cooking grill. 

 

Turn the burner directly under the food to the 
OFF position and turn all other burners to a 
LOW to MEDIUM position. 

 

Close the  hood to cook the food ‘indirectly’. 
Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is 
lost every time the hood is opened. If the hood 
is opened during cooking please allow extra  
time for the barbecue to regain its temperature 
and complete the cooking. Use the temperature 
gauge to monitor the heat of the barbecue. 

 

If the internal heat becomes too high, turn the 
burners  down  to  the  low  position.  It  is  not 
necessary  or  advisable  to  have  all  of  the 
burners on high when the hood is closed. 

 

DO  NOT  ALLOW  YOUR  BARBECUE  TO 
OVERHEAT.  Be  careful of  hot  steam  when 
opening the hood. 

 

Warming Rack 

 

Warming racks are a convenient way to keep 
cooked food warm or to warm items such as 
bread  rolls.  It  is  advisable  to  place  food 
(particularly  fatty  foods)  to  the  front  of  the 
warming rack to avoid the possibility of juices 
and  fat  running  down  the  back  of  your 
barbecue. Always check that your warming rack 
is properly fitted before use. 

 

Flare-Up Control ***Very Important Notice***        

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and 
its fat and juices fall upon the hot lava rock. 
Smoke of course helps give food its barbecued 
flavour, but it is best to avoid excessive flare-up 
to prevent food being burned. To control flare-
ups, it is 

ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL 

to trim 

away excess fat from meat and poultry before 
grilling,  use  cooking  sauces  and  marinades 
sparingly and try to avoid very cheap cuts of 
meat or meat products as these tend to have a 
high fat and water content. Also, the burners 
should always be placed on the low setting 
during cooking.  

 

When flare-ups do occur, they can usually be 
extinguished by applying baking soda or salt 
directly onto the lava rock. Always protect your 
hands when handling anything near the cooking 
surface of the barbecue and take care to protect 
yourself from the flames.  
 
If a fat fire occurs, please see the instructions
