handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session.

up of gas.

Grill Cooking

The Vapour bar evenly distributes the heat across the cooking grill area. The natural food juices
produced during cooking fall onto the hot vapour bar below and vapourise. Even cooking of food will
be achieved by using the barbecue with the hood down. This should only be done with the burner on
low.

Flare-Up Control

IMPORTANT – FLARE UPS CAN OCCUR FROM RESIDUE FAT AND JUICES DRIPPING ONTO THE
BURNERS AND HOT VAPOUR BAR. To reduce this regularly clean the burners and vapour bar. To
control are-ups, it is advisable to trim away excess fat from meat and poultry before grilling. The
burners should always be placed on the low setting during cooking. Always protect your hands when
handling anything near the cooking surface of the barbecue.

End of Cooking Session

After each cooking session, turn the barbecue burners to the ‘high’ position and burn for 5 minutes.
This procedure will burn off cooking residue, thus making cleaning easier.
