Before reusing it, check that the gas outlet holes are not clogged with dust or spider's webs.
3.6 Cooking Advice
Direct cooking: food cooked directly on a grill positioned above a lit burner.
Indirect cooking: food cooked on a grill positioned adjacent to the lit burner.
• During indirect cooking the lid (if fitted) must be left closed and only opened if the temperature exceeds 300°C. Close it again after 5 minutes have passed.
• Water should always be poured into the dripping pans for more succulent cooking results and to simplify cleaning of the barbecue after use.
• Always preheat at the minimum setting.
• For processes requiring more powerful grilling, preheat the burners for 15 minutes.
• Preheat for indirect cooking by igniting the burner where the food is to be placed for 5 minutes at the minimum setting and the other burners at the maximum setting for 10 minutes.
• During direct cooking (meat or fish), if the heat is too high and burns the food, turn the burners down using the knob, or else move the food.
• During cooking, it is recommended to remove the liquid waste compartment cover to allow cooking fumes to escape.
Meat (direct cooking)
The burners must be set to maximum. The cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the food and personal taste.
For best results when grilling, brown the outside at maximum heat then use the knobs to turn the burners down to a medium / minimum setting to allow the meat to cook right through without burning on the outside.
The appearance of flames, when cooking pork (i.e. fatty foods) in particular, is normal and is caused by dripping fat. Do not worry, but move the food being cooked to another part of the grill.
To allow this, it is best not to fill the whole grill with food for cooking.
It is recommended to preheat the burners at maximum power for 5­10 minutes with the lid (where fitted) closed, depending on the thickness of the meat.
EN
19
Use
Meat (indirect cooking)
After preheating with the burners at the minimum setting and the lid (where fitted) closed, place the meat on a grill next to the lit burner. For example, the meat can be placed on the central grill after the side burners have been ignited.
The advantage of indirect cooking is that the heat is less fierce. Start cooking with the burners on the minimum setting then gradually turn them up over time.
Naturally, it takes considerably longer than direct cooking, but excellent results will be assured.

Cleaning and maintenance
4 Cleaning and maintenance
4.1 Instructions
Improper use
Risk of damage
• Do not use a steam cleaner to clean the appliance.
• Do not use cleaning products containing chlorine, ammonia or bleach on steel parts or parts with metallic finishes on the surface (e.g. anodizing, nickel- or chromium-plating).
• Do not use abrasive or corrosive detergents on glass parts (e.g. powder products, stain removers and metallic sponges).
• Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers.
• Do not wash removable components such as the grills and griddle in the dishwasher.
• All previous food residue must always be removed before cooking.
4.2 Cleaning the appliance
To keep the appliance surfaces in good condition, they should be cleaned regularly after use. Let them cool first.
Ordinary daily cleaning
Always use only specific products that do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
Pour the product onto a damp cloth and wipe the surface, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Food stains or residues
Do not use metallic sponges or sharp scrapers as they will damage the surfaces.
Use ordinary non-abrasive products with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth or a microfibre cloth.
Do not allow residues of sugary foods (such as jam) to set inside the appliance. If left to set for too long, they might damage the enamel lining of the appliance.
Griddle and grills
For best results, clean the griddle and grills when still lukewarm. Wearing heat-resistant gloves, dip them in water and then scrub them with a brass-bristle brush to remove any food residue. Complete cleaning by washing the grills with a degreasing non­abrasive detergent and rinse thoroughly.
The continuous contact between the grills/griddle and the flame can cause modifications to the enamel over time in those parts exposed to heat. This is a completely natural phenomenon which has no effect on the operation of this component.

New Zealand fitting
The hose must be fitted or replaced (check its expiration date periodically) in compliance with the relevant regulations.
WARNING - In freezing conditions the pressure of propane or butane gas can be reduced in the gas cylinder, causing a lack of gas pressure. This may affect the way the barbecue operates.
U.L.P.G. When connecting the appliance to a portable LPG cylinder, the minimum capacity of the cylinder should be 4 kg and the maximum capacity should be 9 kg. Fit the hose and regulator supplied with the barbecue and ensure that the nut on the hose is tightened using a spanner. Do not use thread tape, as the connection will seal properly without it. When connecting the regulator end of the hose to the gas cylinder, turn the fitting anti-clockwise and hand tighten only.
DO NOT USE A SPANNER. When connecting the barbecue to a fixed
LPG supply, it must be installed by a licensed gas fitter in accordance with requirements of AS5601 and local gas authority requirements.

N.G. When connecting the barbecue to
Natural gas, the barbecue can be converted from LPG to Natural gas by fitting the supplied Natural gas injectors and also a Natural gas conversion kit, available from your retailer. Natural gas barbecues must be installed by a licensed gas fitter by connecting the main gas lines via copper pipe according to the requirements of AS5601 and the local gas authority requirements. Alternatively, you can have the gas fitter install the gas line using a “bayonet point” fitting according to the requirements of AS5601 and local gas authority requirements. This will allow the barbecue to be connected and disconnected by using the special hose provided in the conversion kit.
Once the barbecue is installed, the gas fitter can test the connection for leaks by using a soapy water solutions and test the functions for safety, ignition and burner operation of the barbecue before leaving.

Installation
Connection with a rubber hose
Verify that all following conditions are met:
• Flexible hose must comply with AS/NZS 1869 Class B or D, be of appropriate internal diameter for the total gas consumption, be kept as short as possible (not exceeding 1200mm), must not be in contact with the floor or any hot or sharp surfaces.
• The hose assembly must not be subject to strain, abrasion, kinking or deformations.
• Only use a licensed gasfitter to install this barbecue and other trades as applicable; electrician, carpenter, bricklayer.
• The hose is fixed to the hose connection with safety clamps;
• Installation with rubber hose must be carried out so that the length of the piping does not exceed 1.5 metres.
• No part of the hose is in contact with hot walls (max. 50 °C);
• The hose is not under traction or tension and has no kinks or twists;
• The hose is not in contact with sharp objects or sharp corners;
• If the hose is not perfectly airtight and leaks gas, do not try to repair it; replace it with a new hose.
5.3 Adapting to different types of gas
In case of operation with other types of gas, the burner nozzles must be changed and the minimum flame adjusted on the gas taps.
Replacing nozzles
1. Remove the grills and griddle, diffusers and then the components (see “Diffusers”).
2. Remove the burners (see “Removing the burners”).
3. Replace the nozzles using a 7 mm socket wrench according to the gas to use (see “If the gas leak persists, contact the nearest supplier.”).
EN
4. Reposition the burners in their correct seats.

Installation
Adjusting the minimum setting for natural gas
Light the burner and turn it to the minimum position. Extract the gas tap knob and turn the adjustment screw next to the tap rod (depending on the model) until the correct minimum flame is achieved (see “Adjusting the bypass valve” on page 34).
Refit the knob and verify that the burner flame is stable.
Turn the knob rapidly from the maximum to the minimum setting: the flame should not go out. Repeat the operation on all gas taps.
Adjusting the minimum setting for LPG
Tighten the screw located at the side of the tap rod clockwise all the way.
Following adjustment to a gas other than the one originally set in the factory, replace the gas setting label fixed to the appliance with the one corresponding to the new gas. The label is inserted inside the nozzle pack (where present).
Lubricating the gas taps
Over time the gas taps may become difficult to turn and get blocked. Clean them internally and replace the lubrication grease.
Gas taps should be greased by an authorised person.
Check for any gas leaks
These operations must be carried out when the barbecue is connected for the first time and every time that it is disconnected and reconnected to the gas supply.
Once the barbecue hose has been connected to the gas supply (LPG), proceed as follows:
1. Open the gas valve on the LPG canister (or rotate the tap for the Natural Gas supply), BUT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT THE BURNERS.
2. With gas pressure in the hose, check for any leaks on all the connections using a soap and water solution. Never use a
naked flame to check for leaks.
3. In the event that there is a leak, bubbles will appear on the faulty connection where the gas is escaping.
4. Close the gas tap of the gas canister, tighten the leaking connection and then repeat the test.
5. If the gas leak persists, contact the nearest supplier.
