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 colours 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.
