Back Burner (optional equipment)
Some models have an infrared back burner. This burner is ideal for the slow and even cooking of roasts,
whole chickens or turkeys in conjunction with the so-called rotisserie. With the steady rotation of the spit
and additional heat source, the juice from the food is distributed and ensures a crispy outer shell. This way
you achieve the perfect cooking result every time.
When using the back burner, ensure that there is a fireproof drip tray filled with water under the food in
order to catch the dripping fat.
Using, starting up the Back Burner (optional equipment)
1. Open the lid of the grill.
2. Remove the warming rack.
3. Before starting the lighting procedure, the control knob must be set to the position "• OFF".
4. Open the valve at the gas cylinder if you have not already done so.
5. Press the control knob 13 inwards and turn it anti-clockwise to the position "MAX".
6. Now light the Back Burner by pressing the electronic igniter 14 on the right-hand outer side of the con-
trol panel. Keep this pressed until the burner starts up.
7. If the burner does not light immediately, turn the control knob 13 back to " • OFF", wait 1 minute to al-
low the accumulated gas to disperse and then repeat the lighting procedure.
8. In exceptional cases, use a match to light the burner if the igniter does not produce a spark.
9. Control the flame by turning the valve anti-clockwise towards "MIN".
10. Operate the grill with the lid open for 5 minutes or until the ceramic burner is red.
11. Position chicken or other food together with the rotisserie on the grill and cook according to recipe.
During the preparation stage ensure that your food is secured in the middle of the spit and balance it
on the grill using the weight. For whole chickens or turkeys, you should tie the legs or wings to the
body to avoid burning.
12. Position a catcher tray filled with liquid under the food in order to catch the juices.
13. Cook the meat with the lid closed according to the type of meat.
Observe the care notices on page 41.
Protection of the Primezone and Back Burner
The two burners are designed for a long life. However, some measures are necessary in order to avoid cracks
in the ceramic burner surfaces which may impair the function of the burner.
•
The ceramic burners must never come into direct contact with water. Hence why no water should be
poured onto the grill to extinguish flames. If the ceramics or the inside of a burner become wet when
the grill is switched off, the ceramics may break when the grill is used again due to the pressure of the
steam.
•
Keep cold water (rain, lawn sprinkler, garden hose, etc.) away from the ceramic burners.
•
If the ceramics are wet, remove the burners from the grill. Set down in reverse order so that the water
can run off. Allow them to fully dry indoors.
•
Never allow the ceramic burners to come into contact with or touch hard objects. Exercise caution when
removing and inserting the grate. If an object were to fall onto the ceramic surface, it would probably
crack it.
