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.

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. Never the less, 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.
