quickly and all the way through by providing evenly distributed top and bottom
heat. Just place food on the pre-heated cooking
grid, close the lid quickly and let the funnel go to work. By keeping the lid
closed, your food is continuously cooked all around and tastes better as more
of the juices are sealed in. Always leave some air space around each piece
being cooked. Roast for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, then reduce to and
leave until done. See «Barbecue Time Chart», as times vary greatly depending
on size, thickness and type of meat. To avoid any risk we recommend that you
use the «Gourmet Check» core temperature sensor for larger pieces of meat.

Cleaning
Gas kettle barbecue
Very little cleaning is required between uses as most of the fat either
vaporizes or drains into the drip pan. If heavily soiled, heat the barbecue to
high and let it burn for approximately 10 minutes. To clean the grid and
funnel use a brass bristle barbecue brush (not a steel brush). For the
remaining parts and thorough cleaning, use the BBQ Cleaner from OUTDOORCHEF or
a nylon sponge and soapy water to remove all loose deposits.
IMPORTANT: After rinsing off the oven cleaner, dry the barbecue off
completely by heating it on. Additional Grilling Surface of the Venezia Since
most of the grease either burns off or collects in the drip pan, the amount of
cleaning required between grilling rounds is minimal. To clean the barbecue,
use a barbecue brush with brass bristles (not steel bristles). Remove the
grilling surface and clean the cast-iron burners. Once you have finished
cooking, you can remove and clean the drip pan with the OUTDOORCHEF BBQ
Cleaner.
Important! If you use an oven cleaner, make sure you leave the barbecue to dry completely after cleaning. To accelerate the drying process, you can turn the barbecue to the highest setting for several minutes.
OUTDOORCHEF BBQ Cleaner – Use
For the sake of your hands, wear gloves and even glasses. Spray the barbecue
or the accessories thoroughly while still warm. Leave to set for 15–30
minutes. Spray soiled surfaces again, vigorously rinse with water, and then
dry.
Regular maintenance
Regular care of your barbecue will help keep it operating properly. Inspect
the gas supply parts at least twice a year and always after long periods of
storage. Inspect the burner tubes, as spider webs and other
insect nests can cause blockage of the gas flow from the valve(s) to the
burner(s). Remove all obstructions. Occasionally inspect and tighten all
hardware as this may become loose if the barbecue is moved over rough or hard
ground. After a period of non-use, you should perform a leak test before using
the barbecue again. If you are in any doubt, contact your local gas supplier
or the agent responsible for selling the barbecue. Before storing your
barbecue for the winter, lightly grease all exposed metal parts to prevent
corrosion.
After winter storage and AT LEAST once more during the season, check the tube
for cracking, chafing, kinking or other damage. A damaged tube MUST be
replaced immediately as described in this manual.
To preserve the appearance of your barbecue and to enjoy using it for as long
as possible, we recommend that once a year you treat all wooden parts with a
wood oil – this will help to prevent distortion cracking. For an extension of
the lifespan of your barbecue, we recommend covering the barbecue with an
OUTDOORCHEF barbecue cover after it has cooled off completely, to protect it
from the elements. To avoid
the accumulation of humidity, remove the barbecue cover after rain.
