BURNER OPERATION & IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
GAS BBQ OPERATING PROCEDURE
Burn Off Cooking Surfaces
We recommend operating your barbecue on its highest
setting for 15-20 minutes prior to first use. This aids
removing the oils used during manufacturing. Allow the
cooking surface to cool then we recommend seasoning
it before use. Season your cooking surface by coating
lightly with vegetable oil and bringing slowly up to a high
temperature (do not use olive oil as this burns off at a
low temperature). For best use your cooking surface
should be seasoned two or three times throughout each
barbecue season.
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.
When using the temperature gauge in the hood of your
barbecue please note that it measures air temperature.
The air temperature inside your barbecue will never be as
hot as the temperature of the cooking surface.
Roasting
For best results when roasting, the outer two burners
should be used on the medium setting. Use of the high
setting with the hood down may result in burnt food.
Remove the flat hotplate to help with heat circulation.
Preheat the barbecue for a few minutes. Place a roasting
rack or aluminium foil dish onto the ribbed hot plate and
place the meal to be roasted onto the rack or into the
dish and close the hood. Refer to Care & Use Guidelines
for more information.
CHARCOAL BBQ OPERATING
PROCEDURE
Preparing to use your Charcoal BBQ
Before cooking with your BBQ, the following steps
should be closely followed. Failure to properly follow
these steps may damage the finish and/or impart metallic
flavours to your first foods.
1. Brush all interior surfaces including grills and grates
with vegetable cooking oil. DO Not brush the charcoal
tray with oil.
2. Build a small fire on the charcoal tray.
3. Close lid. (Position vents and vent control knob
approximately at one quarter open). This burn should be
sustained for at least two hours, the longer the better.
Your charcoal BBQ is now ready for use.
Smoking and Slow Cooking
Remove the cooking grill from the BBQ and build
your fire as described in the lighting instructions.
Either charcoal or wood may be used. Most seasoned
hardwoods are good for smoking such as hickory,
mesquite, pecan, oak, and many other fruit woods.
Bark should be avoided or trimmed off first as it contains
a high acid content and imparts an acrid flavour.
After allowing the fire to burn down, move coal or wood
to one side of the charcoal tray, and lower tray to its
lowest setting. Close the lid and control the temperature
and smoke with the vents located in the lid and vent
control knob. Smoke is contained within the BBQ, which
will reduce burn while imparting more smoke flavour.
Do not operate the BBQ with temperatures exceeding
230ºC.
Note: If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform correctly it should not be used until serviced or repaired.
