Using Your Barbecue Controlling The Burners The control knob can now be turned to the desired heat setting, Low, Medium or High. The control knob does not need to be pushed in while selecting the heat setting. To Turn Off The Burner Push in and hold the control knob while turning in a clockwise direction until the Off position is reached.
Getting The Most From Your Barbecue Preheating Your Barbecue Like an oven, preheating your barbecue before cooking produces better results. Because your hood retains heat so efficiently, preheating your barbecue is quicker with the hood down. Turn the outside two burners to high. Close the hood, and allow to preheat for about 8 minutes. Then reduce the burner settings to achieve and maintain the required temperature, by following these guidelines.
Getting The Most From Your Barbecue Direct Cooking Method Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food directly over the lit grill section. Excess flaring may occur and so care must be taken while cooking. Check inside the roasting hood regularly. We do not recommended this method for roasts unless you place a baking dish under the roast, to allow flammable fats and juices to be isolated away from the flame.
• After use, remove all solid material from the cooking surfaces using a brass bristle brush or plastic scourer. Brushes specifically designed for this purpose can be purchased from your BeefEater retailer. Wipe off remaining residue with a paper towel.
Cleaning Your Barbecue To Remove The Grease Tray For Cleaning The grease tray slides in and out on two runners at each side. The tray is locked to the runners at four points located at each corner of the tray. First release the front of the tray.
