G2. Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking grill,
please use a long handled brush to apply a light coat
of cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing
session.
(Note: When cooking for the first time,
paint colours may change slightly as a result.
This is normal and should be expected.)
G3. Lighting the Barbecue

high position for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat

G7. Roasting Hood Cooking
Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give the
option of cooking with hood closed to form an ‘oven’
for roasting food, such as joints of meat, whole
chickens, etc.
When roasting, turn the burner under the food to the
OFF position. Close the hood and turn the other
burner down to a lower setting i.e. low to medium to
achieve the temperature required. DO NOT ALLOW
YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT. Avoid lifting the
hood unnecessarily as heat is lost each time the
hood is opened.
G8. End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burner
to the “max” 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.
G9. Turning Off Your Barbecue
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.
H. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and
especially after extended periods of storage. Ensure
the barbecue and its components are sufficiently cool
