a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil
before each barbecuing session.

minutes in order to preheat the barbecue.
This process should be done before every
cooking session. IMPORTANT - The hood
should be open during preheating.

burners to low position and cook with the
hood in the down position for best cooking
results.
Manual Lighting Instructions

Grill Cooking
The vapour bar evenly distributes the burner
ameacrossthecookinggrillarea.The
natural food juices produced during cooking
fall onto the hot vapour bar below and
vaporise.
Even cooking of food will be achieved by
using the barbecue with the hood down. This
should only be done with the burner on low.
Flare-Up Control
IMPORTANT – FLARE UPS CAN OCCUR
FROM RESIDUE FAT AND JUICES DRIPPING
ONTO THE BURNERS AND HOT VAPOUR
BAR. To reduce this, regularly clean the
burnersandvapourbar.Tocontrolare-
up, it is advisable to trim away excess fat
from meat and poultry before grilling. The
burners should always be placed on the low
setting during cooking. Always protect your
hands when handling anything near cooking
surface of the barbecue.
Covered Cooking
Keep the hood closed when you grill to
ensure the heat circulates evenly. With the
hoodclosed,thegasbarbequecooksmuch
like a convection oven. The thermometer
in the hood shows what the cooking
temperature is inside the barbecue so you
don’t have to lift the hood. Avoid lifting
the hood to look inside during the cooking
process – heat will be lost.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue
burners to the ‘HIGH’ position and burn for 5
minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking
residue, thus making cleaning easier.
