Using your Kettle BBQ.
1. Insert the Heat Control Probe fully into the
socket of the hotplate.
2. Plug the cord into a 230-240 volt
power outlet and turn the power on. An
extension cord that has been checked
and tested by your electricity supplier or
a qualified technician may be used with
your Kettle BBQ.
3. Set the control probe dial to the desired
heat setting.
Remove the lid from the Kettle BBQ and
allow to heat up. When the thermostat
light on the control probe switches off,
the desired cooking temperature has been
reached and the Kettle BBQ is ready to
use.
For oven style cooking, set the dial to
Super Sear setting, replace the lid and
pre-heat for approximately 10 minutes.
Note: The thermostat light on the control
probe indicates the Kettle BBQ is heating.
This light will remain ON until the set
temperature has been reached and then
will cycle ON and OFF throughout cooking.
This will ensure that the Kettle BBQ always
maintains the selected temperature. The
pre-heat time will depend on the heat setting
selected.

HeadingBBQ Oven Cooking in your
Kettle BBQ
BBQ Oven Cooking
BBQ Oven cooking allows you to roast meats
and vegetables efficiently, while sealing in
the flavoursome juices.
The result is oven style, tender meat, with
wholesome crisp vegetables.
For a perfect result every time, read the BBQ
Oven Basics section below.
BBQ Oven Basics
• For optimum results, the Kettle BBQ
should always be preheated for 10 minutes
with the lid on.
• Avoid removing the lid continually during
the cooking time. The heat loss will only
lengthen the cooking time.
• All meats should be fully thawed or at
room temperature before cooking.
• Baste the meat during the last ½ hour
of cooking. Excess basting will cause
the meat to burn or darken if left on
throughout the entire cooking time.
• Meats such as beef, pork, chicken and
poultry require approximately 1½ - 2 hours
to cook, depending on the weight and size.
• After initially browning meat on the
grill plate, cook on a roasting rack. This
prevents excess browning on one side and
eliminates turning the meat over.
Note: Caution should be taken when using a
metal rack on the grill plate. Ensure there are
no sharp edges that could scratch the nonstick coating.
• Avoid overcooking meats. The longer the
cooking time, the less tender the meat will
be.
• Use a meat thermometer to take the
guesswork out of the BBQ cooking.
The guides on the thermometer will
indicate the temperature of the food. The
temperature guide on the thermometer will
tell you when the meat is cooked to your
desired choice. For an accurate reading,
always insert the thermometer into the
thickest part of the meat.
• Rest meat, covered, for about 10 minutes
before carving. This allows the juices to
settle.
