VISUAL CHECK OF THE FLAMES
If the flames of the burners jump out of the
burner box when the barbecue is in use,
immediately turn off the control knobs.
Wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to escape
before relighting the barbecue. Read the
chapter ‘troubleshooting guide’ if the pro
-
blem persists.
Each time you light the barbecue you
shouldchecktheflames.(Fig.I)aproper
flame is almost comletely blue, with some
yellow at the top. If the flame is abnormally
small and for the most part yellow, switch
off the barbecue and check the venturi
tubes for obstructions, or read the chapter

USEFUL TIPS FOR USE OF THE
BARBECUE
USING YOUR BRAHMA FOR THE FIRST
TIME
When using your gas barbecue for the
first time, you must first allow the unit to
run in by operating it for a short period
of time without any food. To run in the
barbecue, light the barbecue. Close the lid
and maintain the temperature at ‘HIGH’
for 15 minutes. Do not open the lid during
this procedure. You then open the lid and
allow the barbecue to operate for another
5 minutes at ‘HIGH’. The barbecue is now
ready for use.
WARMING UP THE BARBECUE
Allow the barbecue to warm up before pla
-
cing any food on it. Close the lid and heat
the cooking surface for at least 10 minutes
in the setting ‘HIGH’. To bake at a lower
temperature than the setting ‘HIGH’, turn
the control knobs to the required position
before placing any food on the barbecue.
COOKING TIME
The actual cooking time depends on vari
-
ous factors such as taste, outside tempe-
rature and wind. Experience will teach you
how to estimate this time.
KEEPING FLARE-UPS UNDER CONTROL
During barbecuing, some flare-ups are
natural. Too many flare-ups, however, will
increase the temperature in the barbecue,
thereby causing accumulated fat to ignite
and cause fire.
To reduce flare-ups:
• Removeexcessfatfromthemeat
before baking
• Bakefatmeatatalowsetting
• Checkthattheholeinfrontofthefat
drain is not blocked and the fat drip
cup is not full
• Bakewithclosedlidtocutofftheair
supply and lower the heat settings
NOTE: If the lid is closed, your barbecue
will retain a more constant temperature
and food can be baked faster and with less
energy.

before relighting the burner.

TIPS FOR CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
To prolong the life of your appliance, it
should be cleaned carefully after every
use.
BURNING OFF RESIDUES
After use, you can let your appliance
burn, empty of food and with the cover
closed, for a further ten minutes with all
the burners turned to HIGH. This ensures
that a large proportion of any residues will
be burnt off, making subsequent cleaning
easier. Let the appliance cool down.
You can then remove the burnt residues
with a non-abrasive brush and clean.
GRILLS AND GRIDDLES
After every use, let the barbecue cool
down and clean the grills with a non-abra
-
sive brush. Grills can also be washed with
the special ‘Barbecook® all cleaner’, a soft
detergent or sodium bicarbonate. Do not
use oven cleaners.
To prolong the life of your appliance, you
should carry out all the activities listed be
-
low, preferably at the start of the barbecue
season.
BURNERS AND VENTURI TUBES
IMPORTANT
Natural hazards - spiders and insects:
very small insects might make a web
or nest in the venturi tubes of the gas
burners (fig. E).
