For Built-In Units Only The SL4000 comes in both trolley-mounted and built-in models. These two pages contain information relating to setting up built-in model only. About The Cylinder Enclosure If the gas for your barbecue is to be supplied by a portable gas cylinder, you will need to ensure that adequate provision is made to house the cylinder safely. The following must be adhered to: Keep out of heat: The cylinder and hose must be sheltered from the sun’s direct heat.
For Built-In Units Only The Cavity Your barbecue has been designed to sit into a cavity or cutout rather than be placed directly onto a flat surface. It is important that the dimensions of the cavity conform exactly to those listed on page 21. This will ensure the barbecue sits correctly in the cavity, and that the barbecue has sufficient ventilation to operate efficiently and safely.
Assembly Of Main Barbecue Before You Start Note the tools you will need before you begin. Remove any protective plastic from stainless steel components. Allen Key (provided) Adjustable spanner/ wrench Phillips Head Screwdriver Check for damaged or missing parts, and consult your retailer if necessary. Attach The Side Shelves (Trolley-Mount Models Only) Attach the two top side shelves using the four screws provided with each side shelf kit.
Assembly Of Main Barbecue Fit The Heat Reflectors The reflectors fit between each burner. They reflect heat from the burners, upwards to the cooking surfaces. The tabbed ends of the heat reflectors face forward to the front of the barbecue frame. The tabs fit into the slots in the front end of the barbecue behind the control panel. The back of the reflectors rest on the rear of the barbecue frame. Fit The Burners Remove the ‘R’-shaped retaining clips from the burners.
Assembly Of Main Barbecue Fit Cooking Plates And Grates You should fit the plate to the left-hand side of the barbecue frame (with the drain hole to the extreme left). The grates are fitted to the right hand side of the barbecue frame. The temperature gauge on the roasting hood has been calibrated for this arrangement of plate and grate. NOTE: The grates must always be positioned over the Vaporizers.
Assembly Of Optional Rotisserie Assemble The Main Shaft Assemble the shaft in the order shown. The knurled nut, counterbalance and handle go on the threaded end. Slide the collar down towards the handle end. Slide the prongs onto the shaft so they face each other. Fit The Motor First attach the motor mounting bracket to the roasting hood. Then slide the motor onto the bracket. Fit The Shaft The pointed end goes into the motor The collar rests on the roasting hood.
Assembly Of Accessories A number of accessories are available for Trolley-Mount models. Fit The Baskets The storage racks and condiment baskets can be fitted directly, without the use of screws. Ensure they locate properly into their respective holes. External storage baskets slot into the holes in the side panel, either left or right. Internal condiment racks fit inside the middle and left hand drawers. Fit The Towel Rack First, unscrew and remove the plastic end caps from the towel rack.
Installation LPG/Propane Cylinder If your barbecue is to be connected to a portable LPG cylinder, you should position it in the far right drawer. Place the prefitted mat down first, then position the cylinder on top. Secure the cylinder by wrapping the strap around the cylinder and clipping it to the bracket slots as shown in the illustration.
Installation Before You Begin NATURAL GAS TYPE IF IN DOUBT REFER TO LOCAL GAS AUTHORITY FOR CONFIRMATION OF GAS LPG PROPANE GAS TYPE IF IN DOUBT This appliance must have a minimum clearance from combustible materials of 450 mm (18”) on all sides of the barbecue. REFER TO LOCAL GAS AUTHORITY FOR CONFIRMATION OF GAS Check that the gas type is correct for your type of gas. You will find the gas type label on the side of your barbecue.
Installation Fixed Installation - Natural Gas (Natural Gas installation should be carried out by a qualified gas fitter) BeefEater Natural Gas barbecues are designed as low-pressure appliances (4.0” WC, 1.00KPa). Fit the natural gas regulator supplied directly to the barbecue inlet located on the right side of the appliance using either hard plumbing, or a flexible hose connected to a bayonet point, also known as a quick connect fitting.
Using Your Barbecue Before You Light The Barbecue Perform the following checks • • • • Make sure all gas connections are tight and leak tested. Ensure the cooking surfaces are clean and hygienic. Check the control knobs are in the off position. Check that the gas supply is turned on. • Ensure the hood of the barbecue and the lid of the side burner are up. If you do not, gases can build up inside the hood and create a dangerous situation. • Make sure long handles do not hang over the edge of the barbecue.
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. After Use It is a good idea to leave the barbecue on for about 10 minutes after you have finished cooking.
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. The direct cooking method is recommended for steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers.
Cleaning Your Barbecue Stainless Steel Grills Many food acids, marinades, juices and sauces contain highly acidic elements that will slowly attack the surface of the stainless steel if not removed immediately after cooking. • 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. To do this, pull the tray up and over the front tabs on each side. You may find it easier to use a flat blade screwdriver to help the tray to disengage. Next, release the rear of the tray, by pushing each of the rear tabs in a rearward direction.
Service And Maintenance This appliance should be checked and serviced by an authorised service person every 2 years to ensure the appliance remains in a safe operating condition. (These services are not covered by warranty). Spare parts are available from your retailer or the manufacturer.
