secure, and that all necessary components (such as secondary regulators and manual shut offs) are included where regulations require them. Once this is done, the barbeque cannot be moved. It is a permanent fixture of the property. Bayonet Point: Alternatively, you can have the gas fitter terminate the gas line using a “bayonet point”.
Leak Testing Naked flames (matches or other open flames) must not be used to check for leaks. This is a dangerous practice which must be avoided. IF YOU SMELL GAS! Immediately isolate the gas supply by turning the gas off at the bottle. •...

Lighting your Barbeque Before using the barbeque please ensure that you have fully read and understood the IMPORTANT HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION section of this manual.

Checking the Flames The control knobs have three basic positions: OFF, HIGH and LOW. You can achieve any flame height between LOW and HIGH by rotating the barbeque control knob between these positions. Controlling the Flames Look into the barbeque so that you can see the flames. They should be a soft blue colour with yellow tips.
First Time Use Preparing To Cook Wash the grills (and any optional baking dish or hotplates) thoroughly in warm • soapy water before first use. Dry thoroughly and then coat the top surface to prevent food sticking with canola oil or Nice & Easy which is salt free and available from your local Barbeques Galore store.

Keeping Your Food Moist It’s easy to keep your food moist and succulent on a barbeque by following these guidelines: Use tongs instead of a fork when turning meat and poultry. A fork pierces the • flesh and causes the juice to seep out. Resist the temptation to keep turning meat over.
Covered Cooking Cooking with the Hood Closed Using the roasting hood traps heat, moisture and flavour that is normally lost on an open top barbeque. The Ziegler and Brown Triple Grill is designed with plenty of power to heat up quickly and cook lots of food with the hood either open or closed. With the hood closed and the barbeque already pre-heated, its important to then turn burners to LOW and to OFF as required, in order to not overheat the barbeque which could result in increased temperature hazards and burning your food.
Page 17
(B) Covered Cooking-Indirect Cooking Method This is when you place the food either above burners that are OFF or shielded from direct heat by using an optional drip pan and roasting rack or any other method of shielding the food from direct heat such as alumimium foil under a roasting rack, or a pizza stone. The other burners are adjusted in combinations of LOW and OFF to maintain constant lower roasting temperatures.

Barbeque Tip Great chefs will tell you that most meats need to “rest” away from the heat of the barbeque before slicing for several minutes to allow the moisture pushed to the surface to redistribute. If you don’t rest the meat, moisture that has pooled near the surface will run out and the rest of the meat will be quite dry.
Warming Rack Significantly increases cooking capacity while still giving great access to the primary cooking surface. Use with hood open to keep food warm or slow roast with the hood closed. You can roast really fatty food like sausages or the warming rack with almost no attention. The more gentle heat roasts slowly so very little moisture is expelled.

Maintenance - Cleaning Your Barbeque Your barbeque will look better and last longer if you keep it clean. Follow these simple steps: Throwing cold water over any hot surface of the barbeque is NOT recommended • and is potentially dangerous. Avoid handling and touching hot parts of the barbeque.
Page 22
The Drip Tray: You should change the fat absorbent material regularly and keep the fat tray itself • clean to prevent a build up of grease. If you don’t do this, a fat fire can result. This can be quite dangerous, and will certainly void the warranty on your barbeque. A good tip is to line the bottom of the fat tray with a layer of Fatsoak (available •...
