16

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Control functions

Before lighting the barbecue:

• Check that all hoses and gas fittings are tight�

• Open the slimline lid or the roasting hood�

NOTE: The slimline lid is designed as a cover for weather

protection� The lid is not designed to be used as a cooking

hood�

• Check all control knobs are in the ‘OFF’ position�

• Ensure that the cooking surfaces are clean�

• Turn the gas isolation valve ‘ON’�

Lighting instructions

• Do not attempt to light burners with the cooking

surfaces covered�

• Read instructions before lighting�

• To light a burner, depress the knob and rotate

to ‘BOOST’�

• Hold for 3 seconds, release and check the flame�

• If burner did not light, turn knob to the ‘OFF’ position�

Allow gas to disperse, then repeat lighting procedure�

Manual lighting

• If, in the event of the automatic ignition system not

working, the barbecue can be lit manually�

• To light manually, fit a 40mm match to match holder

provided� Pass lit match through viewing holes below the

front of cooking plates down towards the burner, then

rotate the knob to ‘BOOST’ to ignite� If ignition fails turn

the control valve off and allow several minutes for the

gas to disperse before attempting to light again�

• Once alight, repeat for other burners as required�

Preheating

For best cooking results it is recommended to preheat the

barbecue prior to cooking�

• This barbecue is fitted with high power burners� In

most conditions it will only be necessary to preheat the

barbecue for 5 minutes before cooking can commence�

• As with most things, experience will familiarise you

with the time required to achieve the desired cooking

temperature�

• If the barbecue is fitted with slimline lid, it is advisable to

remove the slimline lid in windy conditions�

• If the unit does not operate correctly refer to

troubleshooting section on page 18�

Cooking methods:

Direct cooking / grilling

• For best cooking results testing has shown that once

preheated burners can be reduced to a Medium to Low

setting to maintain satisfactory cooking temperatures�

• If burners are left to run too hot there will be excessive

smoking during the cooking process and subsequent

burning of the food being prepared� This may also result

in excessive flaring of the fat being emitted from the

food�

Indirect cooking / roasting

• For barbecue models fitted with a roasting hood, it is

recommended that once preheated only use the two

outer burners on a low setting to maintain satisfactory

cooking temperatures�

• Using more than two burners is not recommended

as hood can overheat and may cause damage to the

appliance� The temperature gauge indicates the desired

range of roasting temperatures�

To turn the burners off

• When the cooking is complete, rotate the knob

fully clockwise so the pointer is positioned at the

off position�

Pivoting safety leg

WARNING!

THE SLIMLINE LID MUST NOT BE CLOSED WHEN THE

BURNERS ARE OPERATING.

Closing the lid during burner operation can cause

discolouration and damage to the lid and barbecue unit.

Any damage caused to the unit by closing the lid during

the burner operation will not be claimable under your

manufacturer’s warranty.

The BeefEater Integrated barbecue has been constructed

from select grade stainless steel which, if not cared for, may

discolour over time� To keep your barbecue looking its best

we recommend that the cooking surfaces are cleaned after

every use�

The cleaning and care instructions are essential for the

proper functioning and operation of your appliance over

time� Failure to adhere to these care instructions may affect

your ability to make a claim under the manufacturer’s

warranty�

WARNING!

Please ensure that your barbecue is switched off and has

cooled down before following the instructions below.

Cast Iron plates

The cooking plates and grills have a porcelain enamel coating�

NOTE: Many food acids, juices, marinades and sauces

contain highly acidic elements that will slowly attack

the surface of the cast iron if not removed immediately after

cooking�

After use remove all the solid material from the cooking

surface using a brass bristled barbecue brush or plastic

bristled scourer� Wipe off the remaining grease with paper

toweling� Gently wash the surfaces with a cloth or a sponge

and a mild detergent and hot water� Dry the components

immediately and coat the cooking surface with a light layer

of cooking oil� This protects the surface when not in use� Do

not clean the cooking surface in a dishwasher�

Intensive cleaning cycle

Suitable for cast Hotplate and cast grills only!

In instances when the cooking surface becomes heavily

soiled and harder to clean, the barbecue can be set-up for

an intensive cleaning cycle�

To do this you must have the hood/lid fully open and remove

any stainless steel attachments such as the warming racks�

Turn all the burners on and set all controls to ‘BOOST’�

After approximately 30 minutes, this should turn any baked

on food or grease to ash� Once the surface has cooled, the

residual ash can be wiped clean with a damp cloth�

After cleaning, lightly season the cast MaxiPlate and cast

grills with cooking oil�

WARNING!

The hood or lid must be fully open during the

cleaning process.

Failure to do so can result in damage to the stainless steel

surfaces and to the barbecue unit.

particular care around the control knob graphics and

instructions.

• Wash all stainless steel components, including the

slimline lid, the roasting hood and control knobs with

a soft dishcloth using hot soapy water�

• The barbecue interior can be wiped down with a soft

cloth in hot soapy water� The rear panel of the interior

is removable for easy cleaning�

• Ensure that all surfaces are dried with a clean

dry cloth�

CAUTION!

Take extra care (particularly when cleaning on and around

the control knobs) to ensure that water and soapy residue

do not enter the control panel, where the valves are or into

the burners. Care should also be taken not to disturb the

spark electrode and thermocouple.

A distance of 5mm should be maintained between it and

the burners (see diagram below).

Cleaning inside the barbecue

The inside of the burner box should be regularly cleaned to

prevent any build up of food residue�

To access the burner box remove the cooking plates and

flame tamers and rear heat shield panel� The burners can

then be removed (refer page 8 “Changing Injectors”)� The

heat shield panels in the base of the burner box can then be

lifted out for cleaning purposes�

Ensure all oil and food particles are removed� After cleaning

complete, re-assemble ensuring the burner is correctly

located over the injector�

5mm

Cleaning the oil reservoirs

The Integrated barbecue has a unique oil management

system which uses channels to drain all oil to the front

into easily removed reservoirs and should be cleaned after

each use�

• To remove reservoirs, pull upwards from the front of the

barbecue and dispose of the contents of the catchment

responsibly� Rinse oil reservoirs in warm soapy water�

The reservoirs can be placed in the dishwasher if

desired�

IMPORTANT!

Special note on “tea staining”

Sometimes stainless steel surfaces are affected by a brown

discolouration called tea staining� This usually occurs in

areas which use high heat and can be easily removed using

specialised stainless steel cleaners� For best results, we

recommend that specialised cleaners be used regularly on

all stainless steel components�

IMPORTANT!

Special note on stainless steel

The stainless steel panels may distort while in use but will

return to normal when cold�

Please note that environmental conditions need to be taken

into account with regards to the maintenance required on

your product� In particular units installed in humid climates

or seaside locations will be more susceptible to surface

corrosion/discolouration over time� In these conditions

BeefEater strongly recommends cleaning and drying your

barbecue after every use and covering it when not in use to

minimise exposure to the elements� Surface corrosion can

be removed by using a specialized stainless steel cleaner�

MAINTENANCE

The ignition system

To change the battery rotate the cover anti-clockwise

to release� Lift off the cover to access spring and battery�

Lift out the spring and battery� Replace with a new AA battery

and replace the cover� Test by depressing the knob and an

audible ‘clicking’ sound should be heard�

NOTE: Ensure that the battery has been placed in the

correct orientation�

Air vents

The mounting enclosure air vents should be checked prior

to each use, to ensure they are clear of any obstructions that

may affect the free flow of air�

Stainless steel burners

Burners should be checked at least once per year and

cleaned as necessary� Inspect burners to ensure no residues

have been deposited and gas ports are clear�
