Igniting the infrared burner
(power burner)

Caution:

Never use the infrared burner when the

cover is closed.

Auckland

1. Ensure that all connections between the gas tube,

the gas pressure regulator, and the gas tank are
tightened. (Follow the instructions given in chap-
ter «checking tightness».)

2. Open the barbecue cover.

IMPORTANT!

Never

ignite the barbecue when the granite cover is
closed.

3. Turn on the gas flow on the gas tank.
4. Set the right gas regulator marked «POWER

BURNER» to «ON».

5. Press the ignition button and hold it down until the

sparks ignite the gas.

6. If the gas does not ignite within 3 seconds, set the

gas regulator to «OFF». Wait for 2 minutes for the
unburnt gas to evaporate. Then repeat steps 3 to
5.

7. If the barbecue does not ignite after 3 attempts,

refer to the «Troubleshooting» section to find the
problem and correct it.

Grilling with Cast-Iron Burners

1. Pre-heat the barbecue for about 15 minutes with

the lid closed before cooking food.

2. Then place the food on the barbecue and turn the

gas knob to reduce the heat to the required tem-
perature.

3. To save gas, we recommend switching off the

unused burners when cooking only a small amount
of food.

Grilling with Infrared Burners
(power burners)

Heat the barbecue at full power («HI») for approx. 5
minutes with the lid open. Put the food you want to
grill onto the cooking grid. The infrared burner is best
suited for quick grilling.

Caution:

Never use the infrared burners with the

cover closed and never place the grill surface on top
of the infrared burner. This could discolour the cover
or deform the grill surface.

After Cooking

1. Switch the gas knob to the «OFF» position.
2. Close the gas supply on the gas bottle (clockwise).

3. Leave barbecue to cool down completely before

cleaning it.

4. Put the barbecue cover on the barbecue.

Cleaning

Very little cleaning is required between uses as most
of the fat either evaporates or drains into the drip pan.
Use a brass bristle barbecue brush (not a steel brush)
to clean the cooking grid and the grill surface.
Remove the cooking grid and the grill surface and
scrape any built up greasy deposits from the cast-iron
burner. The infrared burner never needs to be cleaned
because it burns off the grease immediately while
cooking. Carefully pull out the drip pan to clean.
Important: You can also use oven cleaner. After rinsing
off the cleaner, dry the barbecue completely by heat-
ing the unit on the highest temperature.

Maintenance

Regular care of your barbecue will help keep it operat-
ing properly. Inspect the gas supply parts at least
twice a year and always after long periods of storage.
Spider webs and other insect nests can cause block-
ages of the gas flow from the valve(s) to the burner(s).
Remove all obstructions. Occasionally inspect and
tighten all hardware as this may become loose if the
barbecue is moved over rough or hard ground.
After a period of non-use you should perform a leak
test before using the barbecue. If you are in any
doubt, contact your local gas supplier or the who sold
the barbecue. Before storing your barbecue for the
winter, lightly grease all exposed metal parts to pre-
vent corrosion. After winter storage and AT LEAST
once during the season check the tubes for cracking,
chafing, twisting or any other damage. A damaged
tube MUST be replaced immediately as described in
this manual.
To extend the life of your barbecue, we recommend
the additional protection with an OUTDOORCHEF
barbecue cover.
