After Use
It is a good idea to leave the barbecue on for about 10 minutes
after you have finished cooking. This helps to burn away any
excess food residues and oil, and makes cleaning easier.
1. Be sure to turn off all control knobs and the gas supply.
2. Allow the barbecue to cool.
3. Clean the drip tray and cooking surfaces. Clean any food spills
from the side burner, if one is installed.
4. Lower the hood and side burner lid.
The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the
appliance is not in use.
Direct Cooking Method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food over
the lit grill section. Some flaring may occur, so care must be
taken while cooking. Check inside the roasting hood regularly.
The direct cooking method is recommended for steaks, chops,
sausages, and hamburgers.
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking involves little or no heat directly underneath the
food. Instead, the food is placed on the grill, the burners below
the food are turned off or Low, and burners on either side are
used. The hood is closed to trap heat and moisture. With this
method, heat circulates around the food, cooking by convection.
By trapping the vapour inside your “outdoor oven”, the cooking
vapour will fall back on the food on all sides, not just from
underneath. The food cooks more evenly, and stays moist in
the process. Indirect cooking is similar to using a conventional
oven and is recommended for rotisserie cooking, roasts, poultry,
casseroles, vegetables and whole fish. When cooking a roast, it
is a good idea to use a roast holder and baking dish. Always use
a baking dish with a depth greater than 35mm. Shallower trays
may fill quickly and overflow, which may cause a fat fire.
Controlling the Burners
The control knob can now be turned to the desired heat setting,
Low, High or anywhere in between. The control knob does not
need to be pushed in while selecting the heat setting.
USING YOUR BARBECUE
Operating the side Side Burner
Do not use oversized cookware or place cookware off-centre
over the burner as this can cause high temperatures in control
knob and surrounding panels. Cookware should not exceed
200mm in diameter, the use of larger cookware may cause
damage to the appliance and is not covered under warranty.
