Operation Instructions
Operating your BeefEater BBQ
Direct Cooking Method
(Direct cooking method not recommended for
roasting)
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food
over the lit grill section. Excess flaring may occur and
so care must be taken while cooking. Check inside the
roasting hood regularly. We do not recommended this
method for roasts unless you place a baking dish under
the roast, this will allow flammable fats and juices to
be isolated away from the flame. The direct cooking
method is recommended for steaks, chops, sausages,
and hamburgers.
Preheating Guide
2, 3, 4 and 5 burner BBQ. Turn on desired number of
burners to the high position for approx ten minutes or
until the cooking surfaces are heated. Hood must be open
when lighting the barbecue.
Cooking With The Roasting Hood
Indirect Cooking Method
Indirect cooking is where the heat circulates around
the food, cooking by convection. This is similar to a fan
forced oven and is recommended for rotisserie cooking,
roasts, poultry, casseroles vegetables and whole fish.
The indirect method of cooking can also be used to
cook such items as thick cuts of meat and fish steaks
that have been quickly seared on the grill by the direct
method (to seal in the natural juices) then completed
by the indirect method. The key to success in indirect
barbecue cooking is to cook slowly.
Lighting
Important Note: Always open the roasting hood before
lighting the barbecue.
Light the outside burners, ie: one burner at each end of
the barbecue. After lighting, close the hood and allow
the barbecue to reach the desired cooking temperature.
Preheating Guide
Turn on one burner, allow barbecue to heat up, then
turn on a second burner until the desired cooking
temperature has been reached. Adjust gas controls to
achieve correct amount of heat.
Never use more than two burners on high.
If you are cooking a roast, it is always a good idea to use
a roast holder and baking dish. This will keep the meat
away from the direct heat source but allow the meat to
cook by convection. (This is essential in the case of the 2
burner barbecue where the meat tray will be sitting over
direct heat).
Note: Do not use a baking dish/tray with a depth less
than 35mm. Shallow trays will fill quickly and overflow,
which could cause a fat fire.
Note: Opening The Hood
The more the roasting hood is opened to attend to
cooking food the more heat will be lost, lengthening the
cooking time.
Outdoor conditions will affect temperature
performance.
Temperature Warnings
Do not exceed the temperature warning on the
Temperature gauge. Operating the barbecue and roasting
hood above this temperature may cause damage to the
appliance.
The roasting hood can retain a great deal of heat and
therefore, constant monitoring is required. The barbecue
should be attended at all times.

Cleaning And Maintenance
Caring For Porcelain Enamel
Although porcelain enamel will keep its lustrous finish
even under adverse conditions, it still needs regular
cleaning. Dish washing detergent and water is usually all
you need. The frequency of cleaning will vary according
to the required appearance and environment. An ocean or
marine environment will require more frequent cleaning.
After the appliance has been used, wash down the
surfaces with hot soapy water. Caustic cleaners should be
avoided.
For barbecues near the ocean or salt-water environment,
more frequent cleaning and servicing should be
conducted. Wash regularly, rinse and then dry before
covering. (In a salt water or marine environment, more
rapid deterioration can be expected which is not covered
by warranty)
General Care And Maintenance
1. Replace aluminium foil or absorbent material in grease
tray at regular intervals to prevent grease build-
up, which could result in a grease fire and void the
barbecue warranty.
2. Use hot soapy water on the barbecue fascia and avoid
abrasive cleaners or brushes as these could damage
the surface and graphics on the fascia. Clean the
entire barbecue thoroughly at least twice annually to
keep it in good operating condition.
3. Keep cooking surfaces clean by removing all solid
matter after use. A light coating of vegetable oil or
vegetable cooking spray after each use will help to
reduce surface rust and prolong plate and grill life. The
surface coating will wear off in time and cast iron will
rust (this is not covered by warranty).
Never spray oils, or aerosols over the cooking
surfaces while the barbecue is operating.
Storage
Cast iron and steel are metals and will rust if you do
not provide sufficient maintenance and care. Generally,
rust will occur on any exposed metal surface if it is not
protected from the elements. Even stainless steel is
susceptible. To prevent this, store your barbecue, hood
and trolley under a purpose made cover.
Check and tighten all bolts and nuts on the barbecue and
trolley frequently.
When storing barbecue for extended periods, keep the
barbecue covered. Be certain all controls and cylinder
valves are turned off. If storing the barbecue indoors,
remove the gas cylinder and store the cylinder in a
ventilated area, outdoors.
Do
Wash regularly with warm soapy water or detergent using
a clean cloth and, if necessary, a soft bristle brush.
Do Not
Use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners on the barbecue
fascia as this will damage the graphics.
Use steel wool or metallic scrapers to remove non-
washable deposits.
Allow grease or dirt to accumulate or to dry out and
harden.
Use cleaners containing harsh abrasives or high bleach
content.
Caring For The Grills
The Discovery barbecue is shipped with either cast iron
or porcelain coated grills depending on your place of
purchase. Care instructions differ slightly for each.
Seasoning The Cast Iron
Read this section only if you have cast iron grills.
To protect the cast iron cooking surface during transport
and prior to purchase, a non-permanent and non-toxic
coating is applied. This coating will wear off in time
with use. To help preserve the cooking surfaces and to
minimise rusting and sticking, cooking grills and plates
(griddles) should be properly seasoned before use.
Wash them thoroughly with mild dishwashing liquid and
dry immediately. Do not allow to drain-dry. Coat with a
generous layer of solid vegetable oil, top and bottom. Do
not use salted fats such as butter or margarine. Place in
the barbecue gas grill and light the burners according
to the instruction manual. With the lid closed, turn two
burners on to the High setting until a medium heat is
attained, 170°C or 350°F. After 10 minutes turn all burners
OFF and, with the cooking surfaces in place, allow the unit
to cool completely. Coat again with vegetable oil. The
cooking grills and plate are now seasoned and ready to
use. The cooking surface should be frequently seasoned
as above to prevent rust. If rust does occur then clean
with a wire brush and repeat the seasoning process. In
a marine environment more frequent seasoning may be
required.
Cleaning Your Grills
These cleaning directions
apply to both standard cast
iron and porcelain coated
grills.
Many food acids, marinades,
juices and sauces contain highly acidic elements that
will slowly attack the surface of the grill if not removed
immediately after cooking.
• After use, remove all solid material from the cooking
surfaces using a brass bristle brush or plastic scourer.
Brushes specifically designed for this purpose can be
purchased from your BeefEater retailer.
• Wipe off remaining residue with a paper towel.

11
Cleaning And Maintenance
Remove burners periodically and scrub clean with soapy
water and a wire brush making sure that the ports are free of
obstructions. Replace burners in the correct position and dry
by lighting each one to avoid subsequent corrosion. Rust is
not covered by warranty.
Care should be taken with all cleaning agents to avoid damage to any associated non-stainless steel
components. Fire, safety and protective clothing regulations should be closely adhered to.
Condition Cleaning Agents Precautions
Non washable deposits
Heavy grease
Soap, Liquid Detergents, or Powder
Detergents with warm water.
Concentrated Detergent. Domestic cleaning
powders.
Stainless Steel only: Recommended stainless
steel cleaners such as are supplied by some
stainless saucepan manufacturers.
Avoid scratching. Do not use cleaners
containing bleaching agents. Rinse with clean
water to remove residual cleaning compounds
and dry before covering. Only use mild
detergents on barbecue fascia.
Do not use steel wool. Stainless steel wool
may be used on stainless steel. Rub in
straight lines along the polish pattern. Avoid
scratching. Rinse with clean water and dry.

• Coat the grills with a layer of cooking oil. This will
protect the grills between barbecuing sessions.
• Before each subsequent use, pre-heat your BeefEater
for 10 minutes before cooking. Allow the unit to cool off
and then remove any remains from previous cooking.
Wipe off with a paper towel and then lightly coat with a
layer of cooking oil.
The cooking surfaces are now ready for barbecuing.
Maintaining Your Grills
• Do not clean the cooking grills in a dishwashing machine.
• Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical
cleaners to clean the cooking grills. Check the cleaner
manufacturer’s recommendations prior to use.
• To prevent rust from forming, the above seasoning or
curing process should be repeated frequently.
• If rust does form, clean with a brass wire bristle brush
and repeat the seasoning / curing process. If your
barbecue is positioned near water or in a marine
environment, then the seasoning process may need to be
repeated even more frequently.
