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.

Storing Your Barbecue

When storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all controls and cylinder valves are turned off. If

storing the barbecue indoors remove gas cylinder and store the cylinder in a ventilated area outdoors. Gas

cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or

any other enclosed area.

The barbecue should be covered when not in use. Eg with a polyester or vinyl barbecue cover.
