Check for gas leaks

This check should be carried out immediately after connecting the gas and each time the appliance is reconnected after being unused for a time. Once the rubber pipe is connected to the gas supply, carry out the following operations:

1. Open the gas valve on the LPG bottle (or turn the shut-off tap if methane supplied).

Do not light the burners yet.

2. With the gas pressure in the pipe, look for any leaks by brushing a soapy water-based solution onto the gas unions. A gas leak will cause bubbles to form.

Do not use naked flame to look for leaks.

3. Close the gas valve on the bottle (or the methane shut-off tap), eliminate the gas leak and repeat the test as described in points 1 and 2.

Assembling the frame for the ceramic tiles

Positioning the internal components

1. Remove the cast iron grids D (see “Positioning the internal

components” at page 7).

2. Put the sides frame A and the inner frame B inside the

burners box over the burners.

3. Put the rails C into the slits on frames A and B.

4. Locate the ceramic tiles inside the frame as shown in the

picture.

5. Place the cast iron grids D.

To assure a good working, take care that the ceramic tiles holes get not obstructed. Overturn the tiles regularly to let the burners carbonate the cooking residuals.

Before beginning to cook, check the burners, flame spreaders, grills and griddle are correctly in place.

• The figure shows the correct sequence for positioning the

burners A, flame spreaders B, grills C, the grids D and the ceramic tiles frame F.

• The tabs on the flame spreaders B should be inserted into the slots E on the inside of the barbecue.

Only in the conditions illustrated above, with all the aforesaid components correctly assembled, is it advisable to start cooking. Any other set-up may constitute a risk for the user and may jeopardise the good use of the appliance.

Cooking tips

Some suggestions for getting the best out of your Electrolux barbecue are given below. Please remember that cooking times and intensities may vary according to personal taste and type of food.

Never close the lid on this appliance while cooking!

Meat and Fish

To cook meat, preheat the grill burners on maximum setting for at least 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. For small pieces (chops, bacon rashers, ribs etc.) preheat for a short time (approximately 5 minutes). For bigger cuts, preheat for longer (approximately 10 minutes). In general, to cook meat, the burners should be set on maximum, and on medium/minimum for fish and vegetables. For best results, scald the food first on maximum. Then adjust the burners to medium/minimum until the food is cooked through without burning on the outside. While cooking, particularly pork, it is normal for the flame to flare up due to fat dripping on to the refractory ceramic tiles. If this occurs move the food to a cooler area of the grill. Completely filling the grill with food is not therefore recommended. For steaks and fillets the open griddle, placed over the ceramic heat deflectors, gives the best result, while for fattier meat, such as chicken legs and sausages, it is recommended to use the closed griddle plates to avoid fat dripping onto the burners, which causes flare ups. Meat and fish should only be turned over once, while sausages can be turned regularly to seal the surface and cook them through evenly.

Vegetables

To cook vegetables preheat as mentioned before. After preheating adjust the burners to minimum and arrange the vegetables on the grill. Keep the burners on minimum for the duration and cook on the closed griddle plates to protect delicate food.

Cleaning the barbecue

For optimum cleaning in accordance with manufacturing characteristics, use products that are not excessively aggressive.

To clean the metal internal parts, we recommend wearing work gloves.

Stainless steel

After each use, and when the appliance has cooled down, we recommend cleaning the external and internal parts and the stainless steel accessories to help the barbecue last longer. To clean and preserve the external stainless steel surfaces, always use specific products without abrasives or chlorinebased acids. Do not use metal sponges or sharp scrapers. Use wooden or plastic utensils if necessary.

Using detergent: spray the detergent repeatedly on the steel surfaces of the barbecue. Clean with a non-abrasive sponge, rinse carefully and dry with a soft cloth. For best results, leave the detergent to work for a time. To remove any yellow areas on the steel, pour some stainless cream cleaner onto kitchen paper and rub in the direction of the satin finish.

Internal components

Enamelled cast iron grills and griddle

After thorough cleaning and before using the cast iron grills and griddles again, remove any detergent residue by lighting the burners on maximum for a few minutes.

Maintenance of the teak wood

To clean and preserve always use specific products normally available on the market and which may ensure the lasting all over the years. In case those products are not available we recommend to remove the grease as soon as possible by using a soft cloth dampened with water.

Burners

Periodically check that the burners light properly and that no gas outlet holes are clogged. If a burner does not light fully, it may be sufficient to use compressed air to clear the holes clogged with dust or the like. If this is not effective, disassemble the burners and clean them thoroughly (e.g. putting a pin through the clogged holes and blowing compressed air straight into the burner).

Disassembling the burners

• Remove the grills

• Remove the flame spreaders

• Estract the tiles frame G.

• To remove the burners burner); then free the Venturi tube from its seat and take out.

• Remove the deflectors

• Clean the barbecue vessel with stainless steel detergent. Rinse and dry.

• Carefully clean the individual components and refit them with the above procedure in reverse order.

Continual contact with the flame may over time fade the shine on the steel near the areas exposed to heat. This is entirely natural and does not alter the performance of the appliance in any way. To limit the yellowing, use stainless cream cleaner on a non-abrasive sponge. The cast iron grills and the griddles are also dishwasher safe.
