Using Your Barbecue - Beef Eater DISCOVERY 1000 Series Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

USING YOUR BARBECUE

WARNING
Excess yellow tipping means the combustion is not right, if
that is observed, turn the Barbecue burners off, and refer
to troubleshooting at the end of this manual.
Do not use more than 2 burners on 'High' with the hood
closed.
If the burner does not light
Keep the control knob pushed, and return the knob in the
clockwise direction to the 'Off' position. Wait 5 minutes, and
repeat the lighting procedure steps 1 – 4 above again. If after
a few attempts you still can not light the burners, contact
your retailer before proceeding.
Manual Lighting
Press and turn the right hand control knob anti-clockwise
to the 'High' position, then light the right hand burner
immediately through a hole provided in the middle of the
right hand barbecue side panel.
Check for proper burner operation
Following operating instructions light each burner and
check for a clear blue flame with just a tip of yellow. Excess
yellow tipping can be adjusted using the screw on the side
of the burner. If you are unable to achieve correct operation,
consult your dealer.
Preparing the Plate and Grill
Your barbecue has heavy duty enamelled Cast Iron plate
and grill. Enamel is a hard, non-rusting surface which will
ensure the long life of your cooking surface.
The plate and grill are ready to use, but it is recommended
to wash them with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and
rinse before use.
To ensure the longevity of the enamel surface on the Cast
Iron plate and grill it is strongly advised to avoid impact with
other metal parts and sharp utensils.
To turn off a burner
Simply turn the knob (without pushing) clockwise to the 'Off'
position.
After Use
It is a good idea to leave the barbecue on for about 10
minutes after you have finished cooking. This helps to burn
away any excess food residues and oil, and makes cleaning
easier.
1. Be sure to turn off all control knobs and the gas supply.
2. Allow the barbecue to cool.
3. Clean the drip tray and cooking surfaces. Clean any food
spills from the side burner, if one is installed.
4. Lower the hood and side burner lid.
The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the
appliance is not in use.
Direct Cooking Method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food over
the lit grill section. Some flaring may occur, so care must
be taken while cooking. Check inside the roasting hood
regularly. The direct cooking method is recommended for
steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers.
Indirect Cooking
Indirect cooking involves little or no heat directly underneath
the food. Instead, the food is placed on the grill, the burners
below the food are turned off or Low, and burners on either
side are used. The hood is closed to trap heat and moisture.
With this method, heat circulates around the food, cooking
by convection. By trapping the vapour inside your "outdoor
oven" , the cooking vapour will fall back on the food on all
sides, not just from underneath. The food cooks more evenly,
and stays moist in the process. Indirect cooking is similar to
using a conventional oven and is recommended for rotisserie
cooking, roasts, poultry, casseroles, vegetables and whole
fish. When cooking a roast, it is a good idea to use a roast
holder and baking dish. Always use a baking dish with a
depth greater than 35mm. Shallower trays may fill quickly
and overflow, which may cause a fat fire.
Controlling the Burners
The control knob can now be turned to the desired heat
setting, Low, High or anywhere in between. The control
knob does not need to be pushed in while selecting the heat
setting.
