To prevent excessive flare-ups:
- Trim off exess fat from meat and poultry before putting it on the grill
- Cook particularly fatty meat on the hotplate
- Turn the heat control knob to a lower setting
■ Throw a small amount of baking soda or gently spray a small amount of water (from a meat baster or spray bottle) directly on the flame
diffuser to put out excessive flaring
- Always position the flame diffuser beneath the open grill plate, never beneath the solid hotplate
Note: The flame diffuser (steel, volcanic rock, ceramic tiles or cast iron) disperses the heat from the burners. This results in a uniform
heat zone beneath the cooking grill.
COOKING WITH THE ROASTING HOOD DOWN
When using the bbq with the hood closed, use the two outside burners only and position the flame diffuser and grill over the centre burners.
This allows for good air circulation within the bbq. Check cooking progress periodically. Exceeding 250 C can damage the bbq and void your warranty.
CLEANING UP AFTER USING THE BBQ
Allow your bbq to continue burning for 5 minutes after cooking has ceased, which will bum off excess fats and juices etc. that may block the flame ports
of the burners. To keep your bbq ready for the next time, turn the burners to • off then take a long handled brush and brush the cooking surface to
remove excess oils and food scraps. Be careful as surfaces are hot. Protect your hands by using an oven mitt to hold the brush.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR BBQ
PROTECTION
Keep your bbq beneath a weather cover and out of the rain. Proper care and maintenance will keep your bbq in top operating condition and prolong its life.
CLEANING THE COOKING SURFACES
Allow to cool before washing in a warm soapy solution. Rinse off with clean water and dry before returning to bbq.
CLEANING THE FLAME DIFFUSER
Periodically wash in a warm soapy solution. Use a wire brush to remove stubborn burnt on cooking residue If necessary. Dry thoroughly before
re-installing to the bbq body.
CLEANING THE BBQ BODY
The body of the bbq should be cleaned regularly dependant on the use and type of food cooked. Use warm soapy solution.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
- IMPORTANT - the drip tray and fat collector should be cleaned on a regular basis. If this is ignored, a build up of fats and greases may cause a fire in the bbq
- More frequent cleaning may be necessary as usage demands
- FAT FIRES ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY
CLEANING THE BURNERS
Occasionally after long cooking sessions, excess fats, juices and marinades can clog the burners. If so. remove the burners
(see removing burners section) for cleaning.
- Clean by washing in hot water and detergant
- Light immediately to prevent rust and corrosion
- Ensure that all burner ports are free from obstruction
• Brush lightly with cooking oil if bbq is not used for an extended period
- Rinse in water, dry and return to bbq
FIRST USE AFTER LONG PERIODS
At the start of each bbq season or before using after a long period of time
- Read this operation manual again thoroughly
- Check all gas valve orifices, burner tubes and connections for
obstructions
- Check that all burners are in their correct positions
REMOVING BURNERS
- Make sure the bbq has been switched off and has completely cooled down
- Ensure all gas control knobs are set to the • off position and the gas cylinder has been turned off
- Check to see if the gas cylinder is full
- Check for gas leaks using a soapy water solution
- Set burner controls to • off and connect gas supply
- Ensure all grills and hotplates are clean before use
- Lift the grill or hotplate off the bbq as shown in (Fig.9)
- Lift and swing out the burner from position as shown in (Fig.lt)
- Reverse the previous procedure to re-install the burners, flame
diffuser and grill or hotplate
- Remove the split pins located beneath the burners at the rear of
the bbq body
