LP GAS CYLINDER
QCC®-1 QUICK CLOSING COUPLING
All models are designed to be used with an LP gas cylinder
equipped with the new QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling
system.
The QCC®-1 system incorporates new safety features
required by the American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) and the Canadian Standards Steering Committee.
* Gas will not flow until a positive connection
has been made.
* A thermal element will shut off the flow of gas
between 240° and 300° F.
* When activated, a Flow Limiting Device will
limit the flow of gas to 10 cubic feet per hour.
The LP Gas Cylinder is not included with the Gas Grill. Be
sure to purchase one with the QCC®valve. This valve is
recognized by the external threads on the inlet port of the
valve. QCC®equipped cylinders are available from your
Gas Grill Dealer.
Any attempt to connect the regulator, by use of adapters
or any other means, to any other valve could result in
damage, fire or injury and may negate the important safety
features designed into the QCC®-1 system.

OPD EQUIPPED CYLINDER HOSE & REGULATOR
OVERFILL PREVENTION DEVICE
The standard for outdoor gas appliances, ANSI Z21.58/
CAN/CSA-1.6, requires that appliances are to be used
with cylinders equipped with an Overfill Prevention Device
(OPD).
The OPD is designed to reduce the potential for the
overfilling of propane cylinders, thus reducing the possibility
of relief valve discharges of raw propane. The OPD
causes a slower purge/fill operation. Some consumers
have been advised by filling stations that these cylinders
are “defective”. This is not a defect. Some propane filling
stations may not be aware of this new device and its effect
on the purge/fill operation.
New OPDs coming onto the market have new technology
that allows for much greater BTU outputs which will
decrease the amount of time it takes to purge a cylinder.
IDENTIFICATION
To identify these cylinders, the new OPD handwheel has
been standardized to the
shape shown.
All models are equipped with a hose and regulator with a
QCC®-1 Quick Closing Coupling.
1. The QCC®coupling contains a magnetic Flow Limiting
Device which will limit the flow of gas should there be a
leak between the regulator and the appliance valve. This
device will activate if the cylinder valve is opened while
the appliance valves are open. Be sure the appliance
valves are off before the cylinder valve is opened to
prevent accidental activation.
2. The QCC®coupling incorporates a heat sensitive
hand wheel that will cause the back check module in
the QCC®cylinder valve to close when exposed to
temperatures between 240° and 300°F. Should this
occur, do not attempt to reconnect the nut. Remove
hose/ regulator assembly and replace with a new one.
3. The pressure regulator is set at 11 inches WC (water
column) and is for use with LP gas only. The hose and
hose couplings comply with CSA Standard CAN 1.83.
No modifications or substitutions should be attempted.
4. Protect the hose from dripping grease and do not allow
the hose to touch any hot surface, including the base
casting of the barbecue.
5. Inspect seal in the QCC®cylinder valve when replacing
LP gas cylinder or once per year whichever is more
frequent. Replace seal if there is any indication of
cracks, creases, or abrasion.
6. Inspect hose before each use of the barbecue. If the
hose is cracked, cut, abraded or damaged in any way,
the appliance must not be operated.
7. For repair or replacement of hose/regulator assembly,
contact customer service at
1-800-265-2150 or [email protected].
CONNECTION
1. Be sure cylinder valve and appliance valves are off.
2. Place full LP gas cylinder in LP tank well and secure
base as per assembly instructions.
3. Center the nipple in the cylinder valve and hold in place.
Using other hand, turn the hand wheel clockwise until
there is a positive stop.
Do not use tools. Hand tighten only. When making the
connection, hold the regulator in a straight line with the
cylinder valve, so as not to cross thread the connection.
4. Leak test connections. See “Leak Testing”.
5. Refer to lighting instructions. To avoid activating the
Flow Limiting Device when lighting, open cylinder valve
slowly with the appliance valves off. If the Flow Limiting
Device is accidentally activated, turn off cylinder valve
and appliance valves, wait 10 seconds to allow the
device to reset, open cylinder valve slowly, then open
the appliance valve.

LEAK TESTING VENTURI TUBES
All factory-made connections have been thoroughly tested
for gas leaks. However, shipping and handling may have
loosened a gas fitting.
AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION:
* TEST ALL FITTINGS FOR LEAKS BEFORE USING
YOUR GAS BARBECUE.
* TEST THE CYLINDER VALVE FOR LEAKS EACH
TIME THE CYLINDER IS FILLED.
* TEST FOR LEAKS EVERY TIME YOU CONNECT A
GAS FITTING.
* DO NOT SMOKE!
* NEVER TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A LIGHTED MATCH
OR OPEN FLAME.
* TEST FOR LEAKS OUTDOORS.
TO TEST FOR LEAKS:
1. Extinguish any open flame or cigarettes in
the area.
2. Be sure that cylinder valve and appliance
valves are off
3. Connect LP gas cylinder. See “Hose and Regulator”.
4. Prepare a soap solution of one part water, one part
liquid detergent.
5. With a full gas cylinder, open cylinder slowly.
6. Brush the soap solution on each connection.
If your barbecue is equipped with a side burner or rear
burner:
a. Place finger tip over the opening in the orifice at the end
of hose.
b. Turn “SIDE”/”REAR” control to “HIGH”.
c. Brush soap solution on each connection between orifice
and control valve.
d. Turn “SIDE”/”REAR” control to “OFF”.
7. A leak is identified by a flow of bubbles from the area of
the leak.
8. If a leak is detected, close the gas cylinder “shut-off”
valve, tighten the connection and retest (Step 5).
9. If the leak persists, contact your barbecue dealer for
assistance. Do not attempt to operate appliance if a leak
is present.
* KEEP VENTURI TUBES CLEAN.
* Blockages caused by spiders insects and nests
can cause a flashback fire.
Although the barbecue might still light, the backed up gas
might also ignite and cause a fire around the venturi tubes
at the control panel or side burner.
VENTURI TUBE SPIDER WEB TUBE BURNER
* If a flashback fire occurs, turn off gas at the source
immediately

OPERATION COOKING TECHNIQUES
Burn-off. Before cooking on your gas barbecue for the first
time, burn off the barbecue to rid it of any odours or foreign
matter as follows:
Remove cooking grids and warming rack and wash in mild
soap and water. Ignite the burner. Close the lid and operate
the barbecue for 20 minutes with the control knobs set
at “MEDIUM/HIGH”. Turn the gas off at the source. Turn
the control knobs to “OFF”. Let the appliance cool down,
replace the grids. You are now ready to use the appliance.
Preheating. When grilling, preheat the barbecue on
“MEDIUM/HIGH” with the lid closed for ten minutes.
Reduce heat as appropriate for what you are grilling. Scrub
grids with a wire grill brush and brush or spray the grids
with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food from sticking.
Lid Position. The position of the lid during cooking is a
matter of personal preference, but the barbecue cooks
faster, uses less gas, and controls the temperature best
with the lid closed. A closed lid also imparts a smokier
flavor to meat cooked directly on the grid, and is essential
for smoke and convection cooking.
Vaporization Systems. Your gas grill is designed for use
with a vaporization system (included). Do not use lava rock,
ceramic briquets or any other vaporization system other
than the one that came with the barbecue.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
“HIGH” Setting will produce temperatures at the cooking
grid of approximately 600-650°F (320 - 340°C). Use this
setting only for fast warm-up and for burning food residue
from the cooking grids after the cookout is over. This setting
is also ideal for quickly searing steaks before reducing
temperature. Rarely, if ever, do you use the “HIGH” setting
for extended cooking.
“MEDIUM/HIGH” Setting will produce temperatures at
the cooking grid of approximately 550°F (290°C). Use this
setting for warm-up and for grilling steaks and chops,
“MEDIUM” Setting will produce temperatures inside the
barbecue of approximately 450°F (230°C) with the lid
down. Use this setting for most grilling of chicken, burgers,
vegetables and for roasting, and baking.
“LOW” Setting will produce temperatures inside the
barbecue of approximately 310-350°F (155-175°C). Use
this setting for all smoke cooking, large cuts of meat,
delicate fish, and for dough and pastry such as pizza and
quesadillas.
These temperatures are approximate only and vary
with the outside temperature and the amount of wind
present.
DIRECT GRILLING
The direct grilling method involves cooking the food on
grids directly over the flame. Direct grilling is the most
popular method for most single serving items such as
steaks, chops, fish, burgers, kebabs and vegetables.
1. Prepare food in advance to avoid delay and timing
problems. If using marinade or spices, they should
be applied before placing meat on the cooking grid. If
basting with sauces, they should be applied the last 2-4
minutes of grilling to avoid burning.
2. Organize the area around the barbecue to include forks,
tongs, oven mitts, sauces and seasonings, to allow you
to stay in the vicinity of the barbecue while cooking.
3. Bring meat to room temperature just prior to grilling.
Trim excess fat from meat to minimize the “flare-ups”
that are caused by dripping grease.
4. Pre-heat the barbecue to the desired temperature with
the cover closed.
5. Coat the grids with vegetable or olive oil to prevent food
from sticking to the grids.
6. Hold the salt when cooking meats on the barbecue. The
meat will stay juicier if the salt is added after cooking.
7. To prevent steaks from “drying out”, use tongs rather
than a fork and start on “MEDIUM/HIGH” to sear the
meat and seal the juices in. Reduce the heat and extend
cooking times when grilling thicker cuts of meat.
8. Learn to test when the meat is done by time and feel.
The meat firms up as it cooks. When the meat is soft it
is rare. When it is firm, it is well done.
9. Follow the perfect steak grilling guide for most meat,
fish, poultry and vegetables.

INDIRECT CONVECTION COOKING
This method is ideal for cooking large cuts of meat such
as roasts or poultry with or without a rotisserie. The food is
cooked by hot air circulating around it.
1. For most applications of convection cooking with
and without a rotisserie, a drip pan is recommended to
catch the drippings. Place drip pan on top of the
vaporizer, beneath centre of food. Put half to one inch
of water in the drip pan. Fruit juice, wine or a marinade
may also be added to enhance the flavor. Do not let
the drip pan run dry.
2. In most cases convection cooking with and without a
rotisserie is best with the cover closed and the heat
reduced. All burners can be set to “LOW” or the outside
burners can be set to medium and the middle burner(s)
can be turned “OFF”. Turning the centre burner “OFF”
will prevent juices in the drip pan from burning.
3. Prior to placing the meat on the barbecue, baste the
meat with vegetable oil. This will enhance the browning
on the outside of the meat.
4. When cooking without a drip pan, close attention
must be paid to avoid the risk of grease fire and is not
recommended.
5. Use oven mitts when working around the barbecue to
avoid injury.
6. Turn barbecue off and allow it to cool before removing
drip pan. The fat drippings are highly flammable and
must be handled carefully to avoid injury.
7. For convection cooking roasts and poultry without a
rotisserie, place meat in a roasting rack directly on the
grids.

ROTISSERIE COOKING
Follow the steps for Indirect Convection Cooking above.
1. The rotisserie can accommodate up to 7 kg (15lb) of
meat with the limiting factor of rotating clearance. For
best results the meat should be centered on the centre
line of spit to eliminate an out-of-balance condition.
2. The rotisserie can be used with the cooking grids in
place if space allows.
3. Fasten the meat securely on the spit prior to placing it
on the barbecue. For poultry, tie the wings and legs in
tightly to avoid contact with drip pan.
INFRARED REAR ROTISSERIE
Certain models feature an infrared rear burner for
rotisserie cooking. The infrared rear burner rotisserie
method is the ultimate for cooking roasts and poultry. With
the heat source located behind the food, there is no chance
of a flare up caused by fat drippings. Cook with confidence
knowing you will get perfect results every time. A dish or
drip pan placed below the spit will collect the juices for
basting or for preparing a sauce.
To operate your rear burner, follow the lighting directions
on page 6.

COOKING TECHNIQUES
HOW TO USE A SPIT
LEG OF LAMB
1. Have 3” of bone sawed from small end of leg. Leave
meat around bone intact to form a flap. Put a spit fork on
rod. Fold flap up and run rod through flap and leg. Put
second fork on rod and insert forks in each end of leg.
Test for balance. Tighten screws.
POULTRY
1. With breast down; bring neck skin up over cavity. Turn
under edges of skin; skewer to back skin. Loop twine
around skewer and tie. Turn breast side up; tie or
skewer wings to body.
2. Put a spit fork on rod. Insert rod in neck skin parallel to
backbone; bring it out just above tail. Put second fork on
rod and insert forks in breast and tail. Test for balance.
Tighten screws.
3. Tie tail to rod with twine. Cross legs; tie to tail.
THREE CHICKENS ON A SPIT
1. Tie or skewer wings to body.
Put a spit fork on rod. Dovetail chickens on rod. Loop
twine around tails and legs; tie to rod. Put second fork
on rod and insert forks in chicken. Tighten screws.
SPIT BALANCE
1. Loosen the rod handle to allow the balance to turn
freely. Set the rotisserie rod in the slots of the barbecue
casting. Let the heaviest side of the meat rotate to the
bottom.
2. Adjust the balance to the top of the rod, opposite the
heaviest side of the meat. Tighten the rod handle.
Periodically, check to see if the meat turns smoothly
while cooking. Adjust the balancer as necessary.
CAUTION: Use oven mitt when adjusting balancer.
HOW TO USE A BARBECUE THERMOMETER
1. The accurate way to determine when a large piece of
meat is done is to use a barbecue thermometer. Insert
the thermometer at an angle so the sturdy pointed metal
tip rests in the center of the thickest part of the meat. Be
careful that it doesn’t touch the spit or the bone, and that
the point is not resting in fat.
2. Leave the thermometer in place while the meat
revolves. When the thermometer reaches the desired
temperature the meat is done. Add your sauces during
the last few minutes of cooking time, then take the meat
off spit and let the meat stand about 15 minutes to firm
up. Carve and serve.
For poultry: insert the tip of the thermometer in the
thickest part of the thigh close to the body.
For ham or roasts: insert the tip of the thermometer in the
center of the heaviest section of the meat.

MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
After you have finished, prepare for the next cookout by
burning off any residue of food from the grid and vaporizer
in the following manner:
Cooking Grids
Remove all food from the grids, turn the control knobs to
“HIGH”, and operate the barbecue with the lid closed for 5
to 10 minutes or until smoking stops. Turn the gas cylinder
valve to “OFF”, then the control knobs to “OFF”.
Use a long-handled stainless steel wire brush to clean the
grids. Remember that the barbecue is hot, so wear kitchen
mitts or use a pot-holder to handle the brush.
You do not have to wash the grids and upper cooking rack
after each cookout, but if you wish to do so, use a mild
soap and water solution, then rinse them thoroughly. Never
use a commercial oven cleaner.
Vaporizer
If any residue begins to accumulate on the vaporizer,
remove cooking grids and scrape excess residue with back
of barbecue brush.
Grease Tray
The grease tray is located on the bottom of the cooking
oven immediately below the hole through which grease
will drain. The grease tray should be checked and cleaned
regularly to prevent grease from overflowing onto your
patio.
General Cleaning
When the barbecue is cold, remove the grids. Cover three
quarters of the cooking grids with aluminum foil, shiny side
down. Ignite the burners; operate the barbecue on “HIGH”
with the lid closed for 10 minutes or until smoking stops.
Turn the gas cylinder valve to “OFF”, turn the control knobs
to “OFF”. When the barbecue is cool, remove the foil and
grids. Scrape the vaporizer clean and remove, then clean
the interior of the bottom oven by scraping the sides and
vacuuming.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
To ensure safe and efficient performance, the following
components should be inspected and cleaned at least
once per year or after any period of storage exceeding one
month.
Burner
Remove burner and inspect for cracks and deterioration.
Clean venturi tubes using a pipe cleaner or venturi brush to
eliminate any blockages caused by spiders or insects. See
“Venturi Tubes”.
While burner is removed, clean interior of bottom oven by
scraping the sides and vacuuming.
Hose
Inspect and replace if necessary. See “Hose and
Regulator”.
Side Shelves
Wash with soap and water.
Exterior Finish
Rusting is a natural oxidation process and may appear on
cast-iron and steel parts. Rust will not affect short term
performance of your grill. Weathering and extreme heat
can cause a stainless steel lid to turn a tan color. This is
discoloration and is not considered a manufacturing defect.
Replacement Parts
If a problem is found with the regulator, hose, burner, or
control valves, do not attempt repair. See your dealer,
approved service centre, or contact the factory for repairs
or replacement parts. To ensure optimum performance, use
only original OMC replacement parts.
Leak Test
After reconnecting gas cylinder, be sure to check for leaks.
See “Leak Testing”

ENTRETIEN
ENTRETIEN PÉRIODIQUE
Après la cuisson, préparez votre prochaine grillade en
brûlant les restes de nourriture sur la grille et le vaporizer,
de la façon suivante :
Grilles pour cuisson
Enlever toute la nourriture des grilles, tourner les boutons
de réglage à « HIGH » et faire fonctionner le barbecue
avec le couvercle fermé de 5 à 10 minutes, ou jusqu’à
ce qu’il n’y ait plus de fumée. Tourner le robinet de la
bonbonne de propane à « OFF » et ensuite, les boutons de
contrôle à
« OFF ».
Utiliser une brosse à long manche avec fils en laiton pour
nettoyer les grilles. Ne pas oublier que le gril est chaud,
alors porter des mitaines à four pour tenir la brosse.
Il n’est pas nécessaire de laver les grilles après chaque
grillade, mais si vous le voulez, utiliser une solution d’eau
savonneuse douce, puis rincez-les bien. Ne jamais utiliser
de nettoyeur commercial pour fours.
Vaporizer
Si quelques résidus commencent à s’accumuler sur le
vaporizer, enlever les grilles de cuisson et gratter l’excès
avec l’arrière de votre brosse à barbecue.
Porte-contenant à graisse
Le porte-contenant à graisse est situé sous le foyer, juste
en-dehors de l’orifice où la graisse s’écoule. Le contenant à
graisse n’est pas fourni. Il suffit d’enclencher ce contenant
en place. Le contenant à graisse doit être vérifié et
remplacé périodiquement pour empêcher la graisse de
déborder sur votre terrasse.
Nettoyage Général
Retirez les grilles lorque le barbecue est refroidi. Recouvrir
le vaporizer, au trois quarts avec du papier d’aluminium,
côté luisant vers le bas. Allumez les brûleurs et , avec le
couvercle fermé, faites fonctionner le barbecue à haute
température pour 10 minutes, ou jusqu’à ce qu’il arrête
de faire de la fumée. Fermez le robinet de la bonbonne et
ensuite les boutons de contrôle. Lorque le barbecue est
refroidi, enlevez le papier d’aluminium, le vaporizer, grattez
les côtés et passez l’aspirateur dans le fond du boîtier.
ENTRETIEN ANNUEL
Pour assurer une performance efficace et sécuritaire, cet
appareil doit être inspecté et nettoyé au moins une fois par
année ou après une période d’entreposage de plus d’un mois.
Brûleur
Enlever le brûleur et examiner pour des fissures ou une
détérioration.
Nettoyer les tubes venturi à l’aide d’un cure-pipe ou d’une
brosse venturi pour éliminer les obstructions causées par
les araignées ou insectes. Voir “Tubes Venturi”.
Pendant que le brûleur est enlevé, nettoyer le fond du
boîtier. Les dépôts durs peuvent être enlevés avec une
brosse métallique et les surfaces lavées avec de l’eau
savonneuse.
Tuyau
Examiner et remplacer si nécessaire. Voir “Tuyau et
Régulateur”.
Tablettes modulaire
Laver avec de l’eau savonneuse.
Fini extérieur
Le rouillement est un processus normal d’oxydation et peut
apparaître sur des pièces de fonte et d’acier. La rouille
n’affectera pas la performance de votre gril à court terme.
Le temps et la chaleur extrême peut faire tourner un
couvercle d’acier inoxydable une couleur de bronzage.
C’est décoloration et on ne le considère pas un défaut de
fabrication.
Pièces de rechange
Si un problème se présente avec le régulateur, le tuyau, le
brûleur, ou les valves du panneau de contrôle, n’essayez
pas de les réparer. Pour la réparation ou pour des pièces
de rechange consulter votre marchand, un Centre de
service autorisé ou contacter l’usine de fabrication. Pour
une performance optimale, n’utilisez que des pièces de
rechange OMC originales.
Contrôle des fuites
Après avoir branché la bonbonne, vérifier qu’il n’y a pas de
fuites. Voir « contrôle des fuites ».

TECHNIQUES DE CUISSON
COMMENT UTILISER UNE BROCHE
GIGOT D’AGNEAU
1. Faire scier 3 pouces d’os de la petite partie du gigot.
Laisser la viande autour de l’os intacte pour former
un rabat. Placer une fourchette sur la broche. Replier
le rabat et filer la broche à travers le rabat et le gigot.
Mettre la deuxième fourchette sur la broche et insérer
les dents des deux fourchettes dans chaque bout du
gigot. Tester l’équilibre. Serrer les vis.
VOLAILLE
1. Poitrine vers le bas, recouvrir la cavité avec la peau
du cou. Replier et fixer la peau et placer les dents de
la fourchette dans la chair du dos. Enrouler une ficelle
autour de la volaille et attacher. Retourner la volaille afin
que la poitrine soit vers le haut et attacher ou embrocher
les ailes au corps.
2. Mettre une fourchette sur la broche. Insérer la broche
dans la peau du cou, parallèle à la colonne vertébrale;
sortez-la juste au-dessus de la queue. Mettre une
deuxième fourchette sur la broche et insérer les dents
de la fourchette dans la poitrine et la queue. Tester
l’équilibre. Serrer les vis.
3. Attacher la queue avec une ficelle. Croiser les pattes et
fixer à la queue.
TROIS POULETS SUR UNE BROCHE
1. Attacher ou embrocher les ailes au corps. Mettre une
fourchette sur la broche. Raccorder les poulets sur
la broche. Enrouler une ficelle autour des queues et
des pattes et attacher à la broche. Mettre la deuxième
fourchette sur la broche et insérer les dents dans le
poulet. Serrer les vis.
CONTREPOIDS DE TOURNEBROCHE
1. Déserrer la poignée du tournebroche pour que le
contrepoids tourne librement. Placer le tournebroche
dans les coches du boitier.
2. Ajuster le contrepoids sur le côté le moins lourd
du tournebroche. Serrer la poignée. Vérifier,
périodiquement, que la pièce de viande tourne de
manière uniforme. Ajuster le contrepoids si nécessaire.
COMMENT UTILISER UN THERMOMÈTRE À
VIANDE POUR BARBECUE
1. La seule façon de vérifier si un gros morceau de viande
est cuit est d’utiliser un thermomètre à viande. Insérez
le thermomètre à un angle dans la partie la plus épaisse
de la viande. Vérifiez que le thermomètre ne touche pas
la tige ou un os, et qu’il n’est pas dans la graisse.
2. Laisser le thermomètre en place pendant que la viande
tourne. Quand le thermomètre atteint la température
désirée, la viande est cuite. Ajouter vos sauces durant
les dernières minutes de la cuisson. Enlever la viande du
tournebroche et attendez 15 minutes pour que la viande
se raffermisse avant de trancher. Trancher et servir.
Pour le poulet: insérer le thermomètre dans la partie la
plus épaisse de la cuisse, là ou la cuisse rejoint le corps du
poulet.
Pour un jambon ou un rôti: inserer le thermomètre dans
le centre de la partie la plus pesante de la viande.

CUISSON À CONVECTION (INDIRECTE)
C’est une méthode qui est idéale pour rôtir de gros
morceaux de viande ou de volaille avec ou sans
tournebroche. La cuisson s’effectue grâce à l’air chaud qui
circule autour des aliments.
1. Préparer le gril avant de l’allumer. Placer une lèchefrite
sur les briquettes, sous le milieu de la nourriture. Mettre
d’une demie à un pouce d’eau dans la lèchefrite. Du jus
de fruit, du vin ou une marinade peuvent aussi être ajoutés
pour améliorer la saveur. Ne pas laisser la lèchefrite sécher.
2. Pour rôtir sans un tournebroche, placer la viande dans un
plat à rôtir, directement sur les grilles.
3. Dans la plupart des cas, la cuisson à convection est
meilleure avec le couvercle fermé et la chaleur réduite.
4. Fermer le gril et permettez-le de refroidir avant d’enlever
la lèchefrite. La graisse est très inflammable et doit être
manipulée soigneusement pour éviter les blessures.
CUISSON À BRÛLEUR ARRIÈRE
1. Le tournebroche peut accommoder jusqu’à 7 kg (15 lbs)
de viande avec le facteur de limitation de l’espace libre
de rotation. Pour de meilleurs résultats, la viande doit
être distribuée à la longueur de la broche et centrée à la
ligne centrale de la broche pour éliminer une condition
déséquilibré.
2. Le tournebroche peut être utilisé en combinaison avec les
grilles de cuisson si l’espace le permet. Dans ce cas, placer
la viande le plus près de la poignée de la broche afin de
faciliter le maniement.
3. Bien attacher la viande sur la broche avant de la placer
sur le gril. Pour la volaille, attacher les ailes et les pattes
serrement pour éviter contact avec la lèchefrite.
4. Dans la plupart des cas la cuisson au tournebroche est
meilleure avec le couvercle fermé et la chaleur réduite.
5. Avant de placer la viande sur le gril, arroser la viande
avec de l’huile végétale ce qui accroîtra le brunissement
à l’extérieur de la viande.
6. Dans la plupart des applications de cuisson à
tournebroche, une lèchefrite est suggérée pour tenir la
graisse. Placer la lèchefrite sur les briquettes, sous le
milieu de la nourriture. Mettre d’une demie à un pouce
d’eau dans la lèchefrite. Du jus de fruit, du vin ou une
marinade peuvent aussi être ajoutés pour améliorer la
saveur. Ne pas laisser la lèchefrite sécher. Pour cuisson
sans lèchefrite, prendre attention pour éviter risque de
feu de graisse.
7. Porter des mitaines à four en manipulant la broche ou
en travaillant autour du gril pour éviter de se blesser.
8. Avant d’enlever la graisse du lèchefrite, fermer le gril
et le laisser refroidir. La graisse non-végétale est très
inflammable et doit être manipulée avec soin pour éviter
de se blesser.

BRÛLEUR ARRIÈRE INFRA-ROUGE
Certains modèles comprennent un brûleur arrière infra-rouge
pour cuisson à tournebroche. La méthode de cuisson à
tournebroche et idéale pour cuire les rôtis et la volaille.
Avec la source de chaleur située derrière la nourriture, il
n’y a pas de chance d’avoir le repas brûlé ou gâté par les
“flambées” causées par la graisse. Cuisez avec confiance,
sachant que vous aurez toujours les meilleurs résultats. Un
plat ou une lèchefrite, placés sous la broche retiendra les
jus pour arroser ou pour préparer une sauce.
Pour faire fonctionner votre brûleur arrière infra-rouge,
suivex les directions d’allumage à la page 6.
