d. Manual Ignition Instructions

•Insert lit match through the match-lighting hole on the right side of the barbecue.

•Push and turn the rightmost control knob anti-clockwise to the high position.

•After the right portion of the burner is lit, light the remaining portion of the burner.

•If burner fails to ignite, contact your local dealer for assistance.

•After ignition, the burner should be burned at the high position for 3-5 minutes in order to preheat the barbecue. This process should be done before every cooking session. The hood (where applicable) should be open during preheating.

•After completion of preheating, turn the burner to the low position for best cooking results

e. Grill Cooking

The burner heats up the lava rock underneath the grill, which in turn heats the food on the grill. The natural food juices produced during cooking fall onto the hot lava rock below and vaporise. The subsequent rising smoke bastes the food, as it travels upwards, imparting that unique barbecued flavour. More even cooking of food will be achieved by using the BBQ with the hood down. This should only be done with the burners on low.

f. Roasting Hood Cooking

Barbecues equipped with a roasting hood give the option of cooking with hood closed to form an ‘oven’ for roasting food, such as joints of meat, whole chickens, etc.

When the hood is closed, a large amount of heat is trapped inside the barbecue. Thus, it is IMPORTANT to make sure that the burner is turned to the low position to prevent burning of the food and damaging the barbecue. Avoid lifting the hood unnecessarily as heat is lost every time the hood is opened.

DO NOT ALLOW YOUR BARBECUE TO OVERHEAT.

g. Flare-Up Control

Flare-ups occur when meat is barbecued, and its fat and juices fall upon the hot lava rock. Smoke helps give food its barbecued flavour, but avoid excessive flare-up to prevent food being burned. To control flare-up, it is

advisable to trim away excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. The burner should always be placed on the low setting during cooking. Flare-ups can be extinguished by applying baking soda or salt directly onto the lava rocks. Always protect your hands when handling anything near the cooking surface of the barbecue.

h. End of Cooking Session

After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burner to the “high” position and burn for 5 minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier. Make sure the hood is open during this process.

i. Turning Off Your Barbecue

When you have finished using your barbecue, turn all the control valves fully clockwise to the “Off” position, then switch off the gas at the bottle. Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool before closing its hood.
