Food Safety; Care And Maintenance - IKEA GRILLSKAR Notice D'utilisation

Covered cooking
Keep the hood closed when you grill to ensure the
heat circulates evenly. With the hood closed, the
gas barbeque cooks much like a convection oven.
The thermometer in the hood shows what the
cooking temperature is inside the barbecue so you
don't have to lift the hood. Avoid lifting the hood to
look inside during the cooking process – heat will
be lost.
End of Cooking Session
After each cooking session, turn the barbecue
burners to the 'HIGH' position and burn for 5
minutes. This procedure will burn off cooking
residue, thus making cleaning easier.
Turning Off Your Barbecue
Push the control knob (7) in and turn to the 'OFF'
position.
Turn the gas off and disconnect at the cylinder
when not in use.
The regulator must be disconnected when the
barbecue is not in use. Wait until the barbecue is
sufficiently cool before closing the hood.

FOOD SAFETY

Please read and follow this advice when cooking on
your barbecue:
• Always wash your hands before and after
handling uncooked meat and before eating.
• Always keep raw meat away from cooked meat
and other foods.
• Before cooking, ensure barbecue grill surfaces
and tools are clean and free of old food residue.
• Do not use the same utensils to handle cooked
and uncooked foods.
• Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before
eating.
CAUTION – eating raw or undercooked meat
can cause food poisoning (e.g bacteria strains
such as E.coli)
• To reduce the risk of undercooked meat, cut
open to ensure it is cooked all the way through
internally.
CAUTION – if meat has been cooked
sufficiently the meat juices should be clear in
colour and there should be no traces of pink/
red juice or meat colouring.
• After cooking on your barbecue always clean the
grill cooking surfaces and utensils.
• At the end of every cooking session ensure
grease cup is cleaned thoroughly.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Regularly clean your barbecue between uses
and especially after extended periods of storage.
• Ensure the barbecue and its components are
sufficiently cool before cleaning.
• Do not leave the barbecue exposed to outside
weather conditions or stored in damp, moist
areas.
• Never douse the barbecue with water when its
surfaces are hot.
• Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.
• In order to extend the life and maintain the
condition of your barbecue, we strongly
recommend that the unit is covered when left
outside for any length of time, especially during
the winter months.
• IMPORTANT – We recommend that servicing of
this barbecue should be performed either after
every 100 hours of use or annually, whichever is
achieved soonest.
• Change the flexible tube when the national
conditions require it.
CAUTION
If you smell gas – turn off the barbecue,
extinguish all flames, open the barbecue
hood.
If the odour continues, immediately contact
your gas supplier. In the event of an
uncontrollable fire, immediately disconnect
the gas cylinder moving it away from fire
and contact the fire services. DO NOT PUT
YOURSELF AT RISK!
Ensure aerosols are not used near this
barbecue when in use.
Ensure all packaging and plastic bags are
disposed of safely.
Cooking Grill (4)
• Clean with hot soapy water.
• To remove any food residue, use a mild cream
cleaner on a non-abrasive pad.
• Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
Burner (6) Maintenance
• In normal usage, burning off the residue after
cooking will keep the burners clean.
• The burners should be cleaned annually, or
whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure
that there are no signs of blockage (debris,
insects) in either the burner portholes or the
venturi tubes of the burners fitted over the valve
outlets. A blocked burner can lead to a fire
beneath the grill.
