Burner operation
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Burn-off
The cooking surface does not need any burn-off time
after first use.
Preheating
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue for at least 5
minutes before cooking certain foods, depending on the
type of food and the cooking temperature. Food that
requires a low cooking temperature, needs only a period
of 2-3 minutes preheating.
Cooking Temperatures
‘HIGH’ setting - Use this setting only for fast warm up, for
searing steaks and chops, and for burning food residue
from the grill plates after cooking is over. Rarely, if ever,
do you use the ‘HIGH’ setting for extended cooking.
‘MEDIUM’ setting (mid-way between ‘HIGH’ and ‘LOW’).
Use this setting for most grilling, and for cooking
hamburgers and vegetables.
‘LOW’ setting - Use this setting when cooking very lean
cuts such as fish.
These temperatures vary with outside temperature and
the amount of wind.
Roasting
For best results when roasting remove the hotplate and
centre the grill. The outer two burners should be used on
the low to medium setting.
Adjust the control knob to maintain the temperature
around the medium mark.
Approximate Cooking Time
The table below shows approximate cooking times with
