Operation
Warnings
•Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the IMPORTANT INFORMATION section of
this manual.
.
•Your barbecue is not designed to be used with more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid plate
— this includes baking dishes. Full coverage will cause excessive build-up of heat and damage the
barbecue. This is not covered by warranty.
Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking surface, please use a long handled brush to apply a light
coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session. (Note: When cooking for the first time,
paint colors may change slightly as a result. This is normal and should be expected.) During use, the
protective coating may come off the cooking surface. This is normal and is not harmful.
