First time use: Before cooking, turn on the barbecue and operate on “High” for
about 10–15 minutes with the lid open. Close the lid and continue to run the bar-
becue on “High” for another few minutes. Perform shut down procedure and
allow your BBQ to cool down before re-lighting.
Preparation: The barbecue should be preheated to get the heat plate hot before
adding any food. This is done by lighting the barbecue and running at “High” for
up to ten minutes with the lid down. If the food you are cooking needs a lower
temperature, turn the control knob to the required setting before adding food.
Cooking Time: Get to know your grill. Cooking time will depend on foods
being cooked, the thickness of food and the weather. You will learn that on a hot
day, a lower setting will work better and on a cold day a higher setting may work
better. Do not attempt to reduce cooking time by cooking at higher temperatures.
Flare-ups: Always monitor the BBQ carefully while cooking and turn the flame
level down or OFF if flare-Ups intensify. Flare-ups can increase the temperature in
the barbecue and add to the buildup of grease, increasing the risk of a grease fire.
Some flare-ups are normal to create smoke, which helps add to the flavour of your
food. To keep these flare-ups to the desire level, do the following:
•
Always trim fat from steaks/red meats before grilling.
•
Cook chicken and pork on a lower setting.
•
Make sure the heat plate is reasonably clean.
•
Make sure the grease drain hole is clear and that the grease catcher is not filled.
•
Always cook with the lid down, and cook at the lowest efficient heat setting.
Note: With the lid down, you will keep a more consistent temperature inside the
cooking area and use less energy/gas.
WARNING
Do Not leave your barbecue unattended, and watch out for
children around the barbecue. Make sure the barbecue is functioning
safely at all times. DO NOT move the barbecue while cooking.
