Operation
Fat Fires
Empty and clean the grease tray (and grease cup) of food debris after each cooking
session. If the barbecue is to be used for large gatherings, it will be necessary to turn off
and cool the barbecue every two hours to remove food debris from the grease tray (and
grease cup) and clean it out. The time between cleaning may need to be reduced if very
fatty foods or cheap meat products are being cooked. Failure to do this may result in a fat
fire, which may cause injury and could seriously damage the barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
•If safe to do so, turn all control knobs to the ‘off’ position.
•Turn off the gas supply at the gas bottle.
•Keep everyone at a safe distance from the barbecue and wait until the
fi
re has burnt out.
•Do not close the lid of the barbecue.
•NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED, IT
SHOULD BE A POWDER TYPE.
•DO NOT REMOVE THE DRIP TRAY.
•If the fire does not seem to be abating or appears to be worsening, contact your local
Fire Brigade for assistance.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the “high” position and burn
for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.
Make sure the lid is open during this process.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
When you have finished using your barbecue, turn all the control valves fully clockwise to
the “Off” position, then switch off the gas supply at the bottle. Wait until the barbecue is
sufficiently cool before closing its lid.
