‘HI’setting–Usethissettingonlyforwarmup,forsearing
steaksandchops,andforburning food residue from the grill
plates after the cooking is over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the
‘HI’ setting for extended cooking.
‘ EDIU ’ setting (mid-way between ‘HI’ 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 fish.
Actual cooking surface temperatures vary with outside
temperature and the wind conditions.
COOKI G TEMPERATURES
BUR -OFF
Before cooking on your barbecue for the first time, burn-off any
residual oils or foreign matter from the cooking plates.
E SURE THE HOOD IS OPE , and operate at ‘HI’ setting
for approximately 15 minutes. Allow to cool then wash grill /
plate / pan thoroughly with soap suds and scrubbing brush.
Rinse thoroughly and wipe clean with a cloth. Your grill / plate /
pan is ready to use.
PREHEATI G
It is necessary to preheat the barbecue before cooking.
Operate the burner(s) under the cooking surface to be used
at ‘HI’ for approximately 10 minutes before cooking. ooded
barbecues should be pre-heated with the hood down.

The fats and juices that drip from the meat may cause flare-
ups. Since flare-ups impart the distinctive taste and colour for
food cooked over an open flame, they should be expected and
encouraged within reason. Nevertheless, uncontrolled flaring can
result in a ruined meal.

The hood (when closed) helps to retain the heat more evenly and
conserves energy.
IMPORTA T: ever use any burner or combination
of burners on ‘HI’ for extended periods when cooking
with the hood down.
igh direct heat when the hood is down may result in burnt
food, or damage to painted surfaces.
When roasting in your barbecue, food should be positioned
over the centre burners either on a roasting rack with the cooking
pan underneath, or directly in the cooking pan.

DO NOT EXCEED 250 C
The heat from the selected burners circulates gently
throughout the barbecue,cooking the meat or poultry without any
direct flame touching it. This method greatly reduces flare-ups
when cooking extra fatty cuts, because there is no direct flame to
ignite the fats and juices that drip during cooking.
PRE HEATING: Refer to ‘Operating Procedure ’on this
page.Once the barbecue is ready modulate the burners to the
desired temperature
¥Operate a maximum of three(3) burners at low setting
¥Do not exceed 250˚C as this may cause damaged to the appliance
¥If possible,when roasting,position the food over the unlit burner/s.
This reduces the possibility of the food being burnt
