Lighting and controlling the bbq (continued)
Turning OFF:
When you've finished cooking, leave the burner controls on HIGH for a maximum of five minutes
to burn off excess grease from the flame tamers and other surfaces. To turn the barbeque off, it
is best to turn OFF the gas cylinder first, and allow all the gas left in the hose to burn off. This will
only take a couple of seconds. Then turn OFF all burner controls. It is okay to leave the cylinder
connected to your barbeque while it's not in use, but it is much safer to turn the gas cylinder OFF
when it is not in use.
If your barbeque is connected to piped LPG, you can simply turn the burner controls OFF. If you
have a hose connection with a shut off valve, it is much safer to turn the gas supply OFF when
the barbeque is not in use.
Note carefully: Failure to follow these shutdown procedures correctly can lead to a
hazardous condition.
First time use
The main cooking surfaces: The grills and hotplate are cast iron with a fused on matt vitreous
enamel finish. No "curing" is required, but you should give these and the warming rack a
thorough wash with regular dishwashing detergent and rinse with fresh water before first use.
For ongoing protection of the cooking surfaces, follow the procedures in the Care and
Maintenance section.
Grease Management:
This barbeque is equipped with a two stage grease drainage system. Food residue drops down
to the grease channelling tray, then falls through the hole into the grease cup. It is a good idea
to line the main grease channelling tray with aluminium foil to assist with cleaning. Ensure there
is a hole in the foil to allow fats and oils to drip through into the grease cup below. Also, placing
fat absorbent material into the grease cup will avoid splashing and overflowing when the
container starts to fill. Suitable fat absorbent material is available from your local Barbeques
Galore store.
The grease channeling tray and grease cup should be emptied, cleaned and refitted regularly. If
not emptied, eventually a fat fire is likely to occur. Fat fires are dangerous and not covered under
warranty. If a fat fire occurs, do not try and extinguish it with water, Shut the gas supply OFF and
close the hood if safe to do so. Call the Fire Brigade if necessary.
Preparing to cook
Lightly coat the cooking surfaces with oil. This will reduce issues with food sticking. Light the
burners, close the hood and leave on HIGH for about 5 minutes to warm the barbeque up. Once
the barbeque is warmed up, you should set the burners to your desired cooking temperature.
You're now ready to start cooking up a feast.
