OPERATING PROCEDURE
Cooking Surface
Due to the non-stick cooking surface. DO NOT use
sharp or metallic objects as they will scratch the
surface finish.
Preheating
It may be necessary to preheat the appliance for
at least 15 minutes before cooking certain foods,
depending on the type of food and the cooking
temperature. Food that requires a low cooking
temperature, needs a shorter period of preheating
Cooking Temperatures
‘HIGH’ setting - Use this setting only for fast warm
up and for searing steaks and chops. 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.
IMPORTANT
• Before connecting and disconnecting to gas
source, make sure burner control is
in ‘OFF’ position.
• Caution: When the appliance is not in use,
the gas must be turned off at the cylinder.
Do not move the stand while barbecue is in
operation.
• Important: The appliance control knob must
be in the ‘OFF’ position before opening the
cylinder valve.
• Never use volcanic rock, heat beads or other
material.
• Check performance of burner prior to
installing barbecue plates.
• Do not smoke when attempting to ignite
burner.
• Always use protective gloves when handling
hot components.
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when
alight.
• The lid must be in the open position for
lighting.
• Note: If for some reason, ignitor fails to
produce a spark at the electrode, appliance
can be lit by a long barbecue match. Insert

a chain at front of barbecue. With hood open
insert into the hole on the left at the front
of barbecue and turn gas control to ‘HIGH’.
Burner ignition can be checked through this
hole.

For best results when roasting the burner should
be used on the low to medium setting.

temperature around the medium mark
(approx. 200o to 230o).
