Component List

DOMETIC-5841-E-Braai-40-Electric-Grill-FIG-5

The following surfaces are not included and are sold seperately:

Operating the Barbecue

PREHEAT THE BARBECUE

  • Push and hold in the control button (C) until the barbecue turns on, turn the control button clockwise to increase the temperature, leave for approximately 3-5 minutes at 200°C to preheat the cooking surface. Over heating without food will damage the cooking surface ceramic coating.
  • Preheating the barbecue is critical to successful barbecuing. Preheating helps to prevent food from sticking to the cooking surface and gets the cooking surface hot enough to sear properly. Use a high quality cooking oil or spray for an optimal and long lasting cooking experience.

CONTROL BUTTON FUNCTIONS

  • Push and hold to turn the unit on or off.
  • Turn clockwise to increase the desired temperature or turn anti-clockwise to reduce the desired temperature.
  • A quick double click switches between °F or °C.
  • Temperature Setting: Once you have turned the control knob to set the desired temperature, release the control knob and the display will flash 3 times to confirm the set temperature. The barbecue will now begin heating until it reaches the set temperature. The display will show the progress from current temperature until it reaches the set temperature. Note that the temperature shown on the display is the set temperature selected, once food is placed on the cooking surface, the cooking temperature of your cooking surface will drop due to the food being cold. The display will still show the set temperature you set it to and will heat up until it reaches the set temperature.

AMBIENT CONDITIONS

  • Barbecuing in a colder climate or at a higher altitude will extend your cooking time.
  • Sustained wind will lower the barbecue’s internal temperature.
  •  Cooking surfaces are easily interchangeable.

GreenGrill Cooking Options

GreenGrill Cooking

Most of the cooking surfaces have our GreenGrill coating. This ceramic coating is completely PFOA-free, contains no toxic substances, and guarantees healthier cooking!
PREPARATION & USE

  • ‘Seasoning’: before using the cooking surface for the first time, you can season it to give the cooking surface a thin protective layer that prevents food from sticking. It is not required but we do recommend it. It’s very easy: lightly rub cooking oil on the surface and then place over medium heat for 2 – 3 minutes. When it cools, wash the cooking surface with soapy water before use and grease it lightly with some oil (cooking oil of your choice, e.g. sunflower oil). It’s ready to go!
    • Note: GreenGrill coating conducts heat better than products with a regular (PTFE) non-stick coating. We, therefore, recommend using only 75% of the power of what you are used to.
  • Never leave the cooking surface on the heat source without oil. Apply a thin layer of oil with a kitchen paper towel or a brush before placing the cooking surface on the heat source. Make sure you have oiled all parts, so with e.g. a BBQ grid include the raised edges as well.
  • We recommend frying in sunflower oil or Rapeseed Oil because of the high burning point. Olive oil can have a relatively low burning point, which can cause the ingredients to stick to the pan or burn. We, there fore, do not recommend using olive oil.
    • Tip: bring meat or fish to room temperature before frying. This will prevent sticking to the cooking surface.
  • Always use silicone and/or wooden utensils so that the GreenGrill coating is not damaged. Never use metal utensils as this can damage the coating.

CLEANING

  • Let the cooking surface cool down before cleaning. Extreme temperature changes can cause deformation of the cooking surface.
  • The GreenGrill coating is ‘Easy Clean’. Warm soapy water with a soft sponge is sufficient for cleaning the cooking surfaces with GreenGrill coating. Avoid scouring pads or steel wool.
  • If the cooking surface has food particles remaining from a previous use they can adhere to the coating, which can lead to brown spots. In these places, ingredients can stick to the cooking surface because the coating is no longer reached. Make sure that these spots are properly removed before use.
  • For stubborn stains or residues, you can try the ‘vinegar method’ for the paella pan or chef pan: pour a layer of vinegar into the pan and heat the pan slightly. The vinegar does not have to boil and should certainly not evaporate completely. Pour the vinegar out of the pan, clean the pan with soapy water and the pan is as good as new.
    • Note: heating vinegar can give off an unpleasant smell.
  • The Soft Soak (sold seperately) is the ideal companion product to facilitate overnight soaking. When using the Soft Soak, we recommend placing the cooking surface face down which allows for maximum soaking and also uses less water.
  • Any stubborn stains that remain after soaking, can be loosened and brushed away using the Soft Soak Brush (sold separately)
  • Once cleaned, dry your cooking surfaces with a soft cloth and you’re done!

Cooking Options

These are the available cooking options.

  • Grilling: This cooking option is ideal for fat-free grilling of chicken, sausages, chops, kebabs, fish, or vegetables. For this type of cooking, use the grill plate.
  • Caution: Please note that when cooking fatty meats some fat will splatter onto the unit which may cause flare-ups. Please use caution when handling such meats. The cooking temperatures are easily adjusted to suit your own requirements by turning the control knob to regulate the degree of heat.
  • Frying: This option is ideal for stir-fries, fish, breakfast, pancakes, prawns, paella, and vegetables. For this type of cooking, use the flat grill. Please note that being a shallow pan, it is not suitable for deep-frying. The easy clean surface encourages the minimum use of fat for healthy cooking.
  • Boiling: For this type of cooking, place the Accessory Stand in its locator grooves ensuring that it is properly seated. Place a suitable pot (not less than 150mm diameter and not more than 300mm diameter). One liter of water will boil in approximately 6 minutes depending on the conditions, size of pot used, etc.
  • Note: When using small sized pots do not attempt to use pots with plastic handles as these can get extremely hot. Pizza baking: This cooking option is ideal for preparing pizzas, flatbreads etc. The pizza stone is 12mm thick that can withstand temperatures of up to 300°C and includes a pan. The dome needs to be used in order to create the baking effect.
  • Coffee: Using the accessory stand, this option is ideal for brewing a hot cup of coffee. Ideal for any time, anywhere.

Cleaning

  • Allow the barbecue to cool down before you clean it.
  • Use a damp cloth wrung out in a solution of soapy water to clean the exterior area.
  • The grill plate is coated with a tough durable ceramic non-stick coating that has been used with great success on some of the best cookware in the world. Nevertheless, taking care of it can help you to enjoy extra years of healthy, easy, non-stick cooking.
  • Whilst the non-stick coating is very durable, it can easily be damaged by the use of metal cooking utensils. It is therefore recommended that only plastic or wooden utensils be used when cooking.
  • Always allow the grill plate to cool before immersing it in water.
  • Make sure that the barbecue does not get submerged in water. Wipe the barbecue completely dry before use.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may damage the surfaces.
  • Clean the barbecue after each use. After cleaning recondition the cooking surface with a light wipe of oil.
  • Do not use any high-pressure steam equipment or a water jet to clean the barbecue.
  • Remove the fat from the moat of the fat pan.
    • NOTE: For stubborn stains, CADAC cleaner (P/C: 8629) may be used.
  • If you clean and maintain your barbecue on a regular basis, the life of your barbecue will extend and the possibility of problems will decrease.

Storage

  • Always allow the barbecue to cool down before storing it.
  • Always unplug by pulling the plug. Do not pull on the cable.
  • Cover the barbecue only when it has cooled down.
  • Always store the covered barbecue in a warm and dry place.
