11.4 Cooking recommendations
• Always preheat at the minimum setting.
• When cooking with the plate, preheating for 15 minutes is recommended.
• For
processes requiring fiercer grilling, preheat the burners for 15 minutes.
• Preheat for indirect cooking by igniting the burner where the food is to be placed for 5 minutes at the
minimum setting and the other burners at the maximum setting for 10 minutes.
• Keep the lid closed during cooking.
• During direct cooking (meat or fish), if the fierce heat burns the food, turn the burners down using the
knob or move the food.
