- Read thoroughly all information provided in this instruction manual.
Installing your barbecue
-
Ensure all packaging and plastic has been removed.
-
Your barbecue is designed to be mounted into a bench top which should be cut out to suit the following:
-
A minimum set-back of 90mm is required from the front, back and sides of the cabinet into which the barbecue is being installed.
-
Apply a silicone bead around the outside edge of the barbecue between the stainless steel flange and the bench top, if desired.
-
Connect the barbecue to the power supply using the 10amp lead supplied.
-
Your barbecue is fitted with a brass hose tail to allow water drainage. The connector suits a 12mm inside diameter flexible hose (hose not supplied). Attach the desired length of hose and run to a suitable drainage location.
-
Installation of your Cookout™ Eclipse barbecue is now complete.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
-
Check the power supply is turned on.
-
Ensure there is no flammable material on the barbecue plate.
-
Your Eclipse barbecue has three plate options – a griddle plate, a teppanyaki style plate and a reversible flat/griddle plate. Select the required cooking surface and remove/insert the plate using the tool supplied (shown below):
-
Turn the temperature control clockwise so the control knob indicator aligns with the high temperature indicator.
-
Allow between 5 and 10 minutes for the barbecue plate to reach full temperature.
-
Place your food on the plate and start cooking. When cooking large amounts of food or thick meat cuts, leave the temperature on high until the meat is seared then assess the rate of cooking and turn the temperature down if required.
-
When you have finished cooking, turn the temperature control anti-clockwise to the OFF position.
DO NOT LEAVE THE HOT PLATE ON HIGH FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES IF FOOD IS NOT BEING COOKED.
MAINTENANCE
How to clean your barbecue
The outer body of your Eclipse barbecue is manufactured from quality 316 marine grade stainless steel, with the option of either a cast iron plate with a glass enamel finish or Teflon coated aluminum plate. As its name suggests, ‘stainless’ steel stains less than steel but it must be cleaned regularly. If the barbecue has not been cleaned for long periods, you may notice a brown discoloration starting to form on the stainless steel surfaces – this is called tea-staining and it can be prevented by following this cleaning guide.
External cleaning
- The exterior surfaces should be cleaned or wiped down regularly to prevent tea-staining and to prolong the high finish of the stainless steel.
- If tea-staining occurs it should be attended to in the early stages as it will be much easier to remove. If left, it will gradually get worse until it turns into rust.
- Washing the exterior of the barbecue using a wet cloth and warm soapy water will help to remove general contamination found in the air such as dust, dirt and salt. Do not hose the barbecue or pour water directly over the controls.
- When applied to the external surfaces, silicone-based polishes are ideal to help the stainless steel form a protective layer to prevent tea-staining and rusting. Apply and work the polish with a soft cloth then remove the polish with a second, clean, soft cloth. Do not use silicone based products on the cooking surface.
Cleaning the Teflon-coated aluminum plate
- All plates can be removed for cleaning using the plate lifting tool.
- Once the plate has cooled, it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or washed with warm,soapy water.
- Do not use scouring pads or steel wool on the hot plate surface.
- Please note the barbecue plate is not dishwasher safe.
- Do not use scouring pads or steel wool on the stainless steel body, surround or control panel as it will damage the stainless steel surface, leaving it prone to rusting
Cleaning the cast iron plate with glass enamel finish
- To remove burn marks from the plate , mix a small amount of white vinegar and water together and pour onto the plate while it is still hot. Taking care as the plate will be hot, work the mixture into the surface with a non-scratch scouring pad to bring the plate back to its original finish.
- Alternatively, once the plate has cooled it can be removed for cleaning using the plate lifting tool.
- Clean with a damp cloth or wash in warm, soapy water.
- Do not use scouring pads or steel wool on the stainless steel body, surround or control panel as it will damage the stainless steel surface, leaving it prone to rusting.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR BARBECUE WILL VOID WARRANTY
