Easy steps to becoming a barbecue expert
• Read the recipe and follow the specific instructions on the following pages.
• Before use, check the catcher tray for accumulated fat. Remove excessive amounts of fat in order to pre-
vent the fat catching fire in the removable catcher tray.
• Preheat the grill with the lid closed for approx. 15 minutes on the MAX setting.
• Always put out the burner after barbecueing. Turn off the gas supply at the cylinder.
• Always allow the grill to cool down completely and do not clean it until it is completely cool.
• Do not try to save time by placing food on the barbecue too soon before it has reached the right tem-
perature.
• Use a barbecue spatula or barbecue tongs, but not a fork. Piercing with a fork will allow juices, and
therefore flavour, to escape and the food will dry out.
• Make sure that the food fits on the barbecue before closing the lid. Ideally, there should be a gap of
about 2 cm between the individual items being barbecued.
• Do not repeatedly open the lid to check on the food. Every time the lid is lifted, heat is lost, i.e. the
food will take longer to be ready to be served.
• Only turn the food over once if required by the recipe.
• Closing the grill lid shortens the cooking time and produces better cooking results.
• Items such as burgers should not be pressed down flat. Doing so will squeeze out the meat juices and
the food will dry out.
• If you apply a light coating of oil to your food, it will brown more evenly and will not stick to the grate.
Brush or spray the oil on the food only and not on the grate.
Wash your hands and the implements thoroughly with hot water and washing-up liquid before and
after handling fresh meat, fish or poultry. Alternatively, you can wear disposable gloves.
Never place cooked food on the same plate on which raw food has been.
Do not defrost food for barbecueing at room temperature, but rather in a refrigerator.
You can find recommended cooking times on page 42 of this instruction manual.
