Cooking Surface
Duetothenon-stickcookingsurface.DONOTuse
sharpormetallicobjectsastheywillscratchthe
surfacenish.
Preheating
Itmaybenecessarytopreheattheappliancefor
atleast15minutesbeforecookingcertainfoods,
dependingonthetypeoffoodandthecooking
temperature.Foodthatrequiresalowcooking
temperature,needsashorterperiodofpreheating
Cooking Temperatures
‘HIGH’setting-Usethissettingonlyforfastwarm
upandforsearingsteaksandchops.Rarely,if
ever,doyouusethe‘HIGH’settingforextended
cooking.
‘MEDIUM’setting(mid-waybetween‘HIGH’
and‘LOW’).Usethissettingformostgrilling,and
forcookinghamburgersandvegetables.
‘LOW’setting-Usethissettingwhencookingvery
leancutssuchassh.
Thesetemperaturesvarywithoutsidetemperature
andtheamountofwind.
IMPORTANT
•Beforeconnectinganddisconnectingtogas
source,makesureburnercontrolis
in‘OFF’position.
•Caution:Whentheapplianceisnotinuse,
thegasmustbeturnedoffatthecylinder.
 Donotmovethestandwhilebarbecueisin
operation.
•Important:Theappliancecontrolknobmust
beinthe‘OFF’positionbeforeopeningthe
cylindervalve.
•Neverusevolcanicrock,heatbeadsorother
material.
•Checkperformanceofburnerpriorto
installingbarbecueplates.
•Donotsmokewhenattemptingtoignite
burner.
•Alwaysuseprotectivegloveswhenhandling
hotcomponents.
•Donotleavetheapplianceunattendedwhen
alight.
•Thelidmustbeintheopenpositionfor
lighting.
•Note: Ifforsomereason,ignitorfailsto
produceasparkattheelectrode,appliance
canbelitbyalongbarbecuematch.Insert
matchintomatchholderwhichishangingby
achainatfrontofbarbecue.Withhoodopen
insertintotheholeontheleftatthefront
ofbarbecueandturngascontrolto‘HIGH’.
Burnerignitioncanbecheckedthroughthis
hole.
Roasting
Forbestresultswhenroastingtheburnershould

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Care & Maintenance
Aswithallappliances,propercareand
maintenancewillkeepthemintopoperating
conditionandprolongtheirlife.Yournewgas
barbecueisnoexception.Byfollowingthese
cleaningproceduresonatimelybasis,your
barbecuewillbekeptcleanandworkingproperly
withminimumeffort.
Spidersandsmallinsectsoccasionallyspin
websormakenestsintheburnertubesduring
warehousingandtransit.Thesewebscanleadto
agasowobstructionwhichcouldresultinare
inandaroundtheburnertubes.
Thistypeofreisknownas‘FLASH-BACK’and
cancauseseriousdamagetoyourbarbecueand
createanunsafeoperatingconditionfortheuser.
Althoughanobstructedburnertubeisnottheonly
causeof‘FLASH-BACK’itisthemostcommon
causeandfrequentinspectionandcleaningofthe
burnertubesisnecessary.
Flash-Back
Ifreoccursinandaroundtheburner,
immediatelyturnoffgasatitssourceandturnthe
burnercontrolto‘OFF’,waituntilthebarbecuehas
cooled,thencleantheburnertubesandburner
ports.Theopeningsatthebaseoftheburner
provideairforcombustion,theyshouldneverbe
obstructed.Iftheamebecomessignicantly
orangechecktheseopeningsforablockage.
Service
Thisappliancemustonlybeservicedbyan
authorisedperson.Iftheappliancecannotbe
adjustedtoperformcorrectlyitshouldnotbeused
untilservicedorrepaired.ContactSitroGroup
Australiaforsparepartsandserviceinformation.
WARNING
Bewareofspidersandwasps.Burnertube
shouldbeinspectedandcleanedperiodically.
Toavoidanyare-ups,itisrecommended
thatthedriptraybecheckedandemptied
regularly.Contentsofthedriptraymaybe
veryhotduringcooking.Ifemptiedduring
extendedcookingextremecautionshouldbe
takenanddirectcontactbyhandshouldbe
avoidedatalltimes.Allowtocoolcompletely
beforedisposingofthecontents.
