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 highlighted in the illustration.
Installation Before You Begin If you have not done so already, check the gas type label as described on page 2. This appliance must have a minimum clearance from combustible materials of all sides of the barbecue of 450 mm. Do not install the appliance under or on any combustible surface. The appliance must be tested for safe and proper operation on completion of installation. Keep ventilation openings in the lower cabinet clear and free of any debris. This barbecue is not approved for use on marine craft.
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 plaumbing, or a flexible hose connected to a bayonet point. Refer to AS 5601 or your local installation code for pipe sizing details.
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 on 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 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, this will 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 Fat Tray For Cleaning The fat tray is held to the runners using four tabs as shown. To release the tray, pull the tray over the tabs at each of the four points. Storing Your Barbecue When storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all controls and cylinder valves are turned off. If storing the barbecue indoors remove gas cylinder and store the cylinder in a ventilated area outdoors.
