 operating instructions / using the roasting hood 19

Preheating

•   This barbecue is fitted with high power burners. In 

most conditions it will only be necessary to preheat the 
barbecue for 5 minutes before cooking can commence

•   As with most things, experience will familiarise you with 

the effectiveness of and the time required to achieve the 
desired preheating time to obtain the desired cooking 

temperature

•   Testing has shown that the burners can be turned to 

low position for satisfactory cooking

•   If the unit does not operate correctly refer to the 

troubleshooting section on page 22

•   If the burners are left to run too hot there will be excessive 

smoking during the cooking process and subsequent 
burning of the food being prepared. This may also result 
in excessive flaring of the fat being emitted from the food

•   Roasting with the hood closed only requires the 2 

outermost burners on low setting for satisfactory cooking. 

 To turn the burner off

•   When cooking is complete, rotate the knob fully 

clockwise so the pointer on the knob is positioned at 
the ‘OFF’ position

•   Turn gas bottle isolation valve off after turning all knobs 

to ‘OFF’ position when appliance not in use

Cooking with the hood closed only requires 2 burners to 
be on low setting. Setting is to be adjusted depending on 
conditions and using the temperature indicator as a guide.
•   It is recommended when roasting to place the solid 

hot plate in the centre with one grill on each side of the 
plate. Use the two outer burners under the grills.

•   To achieve even cooking of the food, place the food 

onto a wire rack above the hot plate to allow air to 
circulate under the food.

•   Food can also be placed on the warming racks for 

cooking with hood closed

warning

•    Do not use more than 2 burners when hood closed and 

do not allow the temperature to exceed the ‘Ready’ 
zone of the temperature indicator. These conditions 
create excessive heat and may cause damage to the 
barbecue and roasting hood.

•    When cooking with the hood closed the hot flue 

gases flow out the rear of the appliance between the 
splashguard and the hood. Ensure the barbecue is 
suitably located to avoid damage or injury.

warning

 ONLY USE A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF OIL AS ExCESS 
OIL CAN CAUSE THE FLAMES TO IGNITE FURTHER.
