Application
Grill Cooking
The burners heat up the flame tamer underneath the grill, which in
turn heats the food on the grill. The natural food juices produced
during cooking fall onto the hot flame tamer below and vaporise.
The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards,
imparting that unique barbecued flavor.
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 (if applicable) 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.
DDO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT. Take care when
opening the hood as hot steam can be released on opening.
Flare-Up Control *Very Important Notice*
Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fat and juices
fall upon the hot flame tamer. 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 AABSOLUTELY
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 flame tamer. 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 given below.
Fat Fires
Empty and clean the drip tray, of food debris after each cooking
session. If the barbecue is to be used for large gatherings, it will
be necessary to turn off and cool the barbecue every two hours to
remove food debris from the drip tray, and clean it out. The time
between cleaning may need to be reduced if very fatty foods or
cheap meat products are being cooked. Failure to do this may
result in a fat fire, which may cause injury and could seriously
damage the barbecue.
• If safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the ‘off’ position.
• Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle.
• Keep everyone at a safe distance from the barbecue and wait until the
fire has burnt out.
• Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
• N
NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS
USED, IT SHOULD BE A POWDER TYPE.
• DDO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY.
• If the fire does not seem to be abating or appears to be worsening,
contact your local Fire Brigade for assistance.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the “high” 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.
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 supply at the bottle.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing the hood or lid.

Assembly Instructions

• DDO NOT lean over the barbecue when igniting the gas flame.
• Close the valve on the gas bottle after each use. (
Refer to regulator
instruction
). Also turn off the control knobs (Turn knob fully clockwise).
• Never leave the hot barbecue unattended. If the flame extinguishes,
relight immediately or cut off the supply from the gas bottle.
• When connecting the gas bottle, ensure that there are no ignition
sources within a 5m radius. Take special care not to light any naked
flames, do not smoke or switch on electric appliance (devices, lights,
door bells), etc (sparkover possible).
•
•
Before each use, check to ensure that all connections through which gas
is supplied are sealed and intact.
If necessary, ensure that you replace the hose to meet with national
requirements. (Always use hose-clips to secure the hose to the regulator
and BBQ).
If the connections for the gas supply are porous or faulty, the barbecue
must not be used. This also applies, for example, to hose or fittings that
may become blocked, as this can lead to a dangerous flashback.
•
CAUTION!
GAS IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE
Liquid gas is heavier than oxygen. Therefore it settles on the ground
and displaces the oxygen at that level.
Possible consequences:
• Suffocation resulting from the lack of oxygen if the gas concentration
is allowed to rise sufficiently.
Do not use the barbecue unless it's completely assembled and all parts
are securely fastened and tightened.
Do not leave a lit barbecue unattended, especially keep children and
pets away from barbecue at all time.
Do not move the appliance during use.
Never cover the entire cooking area.
Never obstruct the ventilation opening of the container compartment.
Do not use power tools to construct this product.
Do not over tighten screws or bolts.
Do not tighten screws until fully assembled.
Do not sit or stand on the product.
Do not use this product if parts are missing, damaged or worn. Never
