NOTE: The following is only a guide. Refer to pages
19 - 22 for more detailed information on cooking with
this appliance.
‘HI’ setting – Use this setting only for warm up, for searing steaks
and chops, and for burning food residue from the grill plates after
the cooking is over. Rarely, if ever, do you use the
‘HI’ setting for
extended cooking.
‘MEDIUM’ setting (mid-way between ‘HI’ and ‘LO’). Use this setting
for most grilling, and for cooking hamburgers and vegetables.
‘LO’ setting – Use this setting when cooking very lean cuts such
as fish.
Actual cooking surface temperatures vary with outside
temperature and the wind conditions.
COOKING TEMPERATURES
BURN-OFF
Before cooking on your barbecue for the first time, burn-off any
residual oils or foreign matter from the cooking plates.
ENSURE THE HOOD OPEN, 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.
PRE HEATING
With the hood open, ignite burners. Once ignition is established,
close the hood. Leave burners on
‘HI’ for 10 minutes or until the
temperature reaches a suitable level for cooking. DO NOT
EXCEED 250ºC. Modulate the required temperature by turning left
and right burners progressively to ‘
LO’.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
Cooking with the hood in the closed position helps to cook food more
quickly than in conventional barbecues with a simple lid. The hood
(when closed) helps to retain the heat more evenly and conserves
energy.
IMPORTANT: Never use any burner or combination of
burners on ‘HI’ for extended periods when cooking
with the hood down.
High direct heat when the hood is down may result in burnt
food, or damage to the appliance.
When roasting in your barbecue, food should be positioned
centrally over a roasting rack with the cooking pan underneath, or
directly in the cooking pan, or placed in a disposable aluminium
foil dish on top of a grill plate. Any combination of burners may
be used generally on a
‘LO’ setting.
If more heat is required, other burners can be used on ‘LO’.
Do not exceed 250ºC cooking temperature.
The heat circulates gently throughout the barbecue, cooking
the meat or poultry without any direct flame touching it.
