OPERATION

Your barbecue is not designed to be used with more than 50% of the cooking area as a solid plate – this
includes baking dishes. If more than 50% of your cooking area is covered by a solid cooking surface, the
barbecue could overheat causing damage that is not covered by warranty.
Grill cooking
The cast iron burners heat the lava rock beneath the grill that, in turn, heats the food. The natural juices
produced during cooking fall onto the lava rock and vaporise to form smoke. The smoke then rises and 'bastes'
the food, giving it that unique barbecued flavour.
Do not attempt to cook with the lid closed. This will result in severe damage to your barbecue. Ensure all
burners are turned off and the barbecue has cooled down before closing the lid.
Griddle plate cooking
The cast iron burners heat the griddle plate directly, which then cooks the food on contact. Griddle plates
enable the cooking of smaller items that would, otherwise, fall through the grill. They can also be used for
searing cuts of meat or cooking food like eggs that would not be possible to cook on a grill. Griddles can also be
used to heat pans.
Warming Rack
Warming racks are a convenient way to keep cooked food warm or to warm items such as bread rolls. It is
advisable to place food to the front of the warming rack to avoid the possibility of juices and fat running down
the back of your barbecue. Always check that your warming rack is properly fitted before use.
