Control functions
Before lighting the barbecue:
- Check that all hoses and gas fittings are tight.
- Open the roasting hood.
- Check all control knobs are in the 'OFF' position.
- Ensure that the cooking surfaces are clean.
- Turn the gas isolation valve 'ON'.
Lighting instructions
- Do not attempt to light burners with the cooking surfaces covered.
- Read instructions before lighting.
- To light a burner, depress the knob and rotate to ⏻. The starter mechanism will click and the burner will light.
- If burner did not light, depress knob and turn back to the 'OFF' position.
- Allow several minutes for gas to disperse then repeat lighting procedure.
- Once ignited, the knob can then be turned to the desired heat setting. The knob does not need to be pushed in while selecting the heat setting.
Manual lighting
- If, in the event of the automatic ignition system not working, the barbecue can be lit manually.
- To light manually, firstly slide out the grease tray to get access to the lighting hole. Pass the manual ignitor through the lighting hole and up towards the burner. Then rotate the knob to ④ to ignite. If ignition fails, turn the knob to 'OFF' and allow several minutes for the gas to disperse before attempting to light again.

text_image
Manual lighting holeTo turn the burners off
- When the cooking is complete, push the knob in and rotate clockwise back to the 'OFF' position.
Preheating
For best cooking results it is recommended to preheat the barbecue prior to cooking.
- This barbecue is fitted with high power burners. In most conditions it will only be necessary to preheat the barbecue for 5 minutes before cooking can commence.
- As with most things, experience will familiarise you with the time required to achieve the desired cooking temperature.
• If the unit does not operate correctly refer to troubleshooting section.
Cooking methods:
Direct Cooking Method
Commonly used for traditional barbecuing. Place food over the lit grill section. Excess flaring may occur, so care must be taken while cooking. Check inside the roasting hood regularly. The direct cooking method is recommended for steaks, chops, sausages, and hamburgers.
Indirect Cooking
This method of cooking applies only if you have a roasting hood.
Indirect cooking involves little or no heat directly underneath the food. Instead, the food is placed on the grill, the burners below the food are turned off or Low, and burners on either side are used. The hood is closed to trap heat and moisture. With this method, heat circulates around the food, cooking by convection. By trapping the vapour inside your "outdoor oven", the cooking vapour will fall back on the food on all sides, not just from underneath. The food cooks more evenly, and stays moist in the process.
Indirect cooking is similar to using a conventional oven and is recommended for rotisserie cooking, roasts, poultry, casseroles, vegetables and whole fish.
When cooking a roast, it is a good idea to use a roast holder and baking dish. Always use a baking dish with a depth greater than 35mm. Shallower trays may fill quickly and overflow, which may cause a fat fire.
Position the grill plate
To achieve the best heat circulation around the food, it is best to remove the hotplate from the barbecue and position just a single grill plate in the centre. This will give unrestricted heat circulation from the 2 outside burners.
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.
Maintain the right cooking temperature

CAUTION
Do not exceed the temperature warning on the temperature gauge. Operating the barbecue above this temperature may cause damage to the appliance. Your hood is designed to keep the heat in, so requires constant monitoring.
These two charts tell you how hot and how long to cook various types of meat, and the approximate burner settings to help you achieve these results.
MODEL BURNERS
| Four burner | Two inside burners offTwo outside burners to medium |
| Five burner | Three inside burners offOne outside burner to highOther outside burner to medium |
You may find it useful to purchase a meat thermometer to help take the guess work out of cooking.
Meats such as beef, lamb, veal and pork should be about 70^ C/160°F when medium. Chicken and turkey should be 85–90°C/185–195°F.
Most importantly, do not allow your barbecue to overheat. Your hood is designed to keep the heat in, and also requires constant monitoring.
Do not use more than 2 burners on high at any one time. As a guide, for a 4 burner barbecue in moderate weather:
Two burners on low produces 150°C/300°F
Two burners on medium produces 195°C/385°F
Two burners on high produces 240°C/460°F
During cold or windy conditions, more heat is required.
Finally, resist the temptation to keep opening the hood while cooking. This will help to maintain a constant temperature, and minimise cooking time.

TYPE OF MEAT COOKING TEMPERATURE APPROXIMATE COOKING TIMES
The cleaning and care instructions are essential for the proper functioning and operation of your appliance over time. Failure to adhere to these care instructions may affect your ability to make a claim under the manufacturer's warranty.
Cleaning Enamel burner box
Although porcelain enamel will keep its lustrous finish even under adverse conditions, it still needs regular cleaning. After the appliance has been used, wash down the surfaces with hot soapy water. Caustic cleaners should be avoided. For barbecues near the ocean or salt-water environment, more frequent cleaning and servicing should be conducted. Wash regularly, rinse and then dry before covering. (In a salt water or marine environment, more rapid deterioration can be expected which is not covered by warranty).
Cleaning Plates and Grills
Many food acids, marinades, juices and sauces contain highly acidic elements that will slowly attack the surface of the plates and grills if not removed 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.
- Wash the surface of the grills with a soft sponge and a solution of hot water and a mild dishwashing liquid. Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners to clean the cooking grills. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations for the cleaner prior to use.
- Coat the grills with a layer of cooking oil. This will help protect the surfaces between uses.
Cleaning the grease tray
Never remove the grease tray while the barbecue is hot. Always remove and clean the grease tray after the unit has cooled down.
Replace aluminium foil drip tray and clean grease tray at regular intervals to prevent grease build-up. Otherwise, a grease fire could result and void the barbecue warranty.
Cleaning the control panel and hood
Wash the surfaces of the control panel and hood with a soft sponge and a solution of hot water and a mild dishwashing liquid. Do not use highly caustic, harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners or scouring pads as these will damage the surface of the panels.
Cleaning the hood glass
- Baked on fat on the inside of the hood glass can be removed by using a razor blade scraper. It is best to do this when the glass is still warm but not hot. Finish cleaning with dishwashing detergent on a damp cloth.
Cleaning the Burners
- Check main opening of burner regularly for insect nests (eg. wasp, ants or spiders). Nests are dangerous and must be cleaned out thoroughly.
- Remove burners periodically and scrub clean with soapy water and a wire brush making sure that the ports are free of obstructions.
Replace burners in the correct position and dry by lighting each one to avoid subsequent corrosion.

A clogged burner can lead to a fire beneath the grill.

text_image
Main opening Burner portsInspecting the hose and Regulator Assembly and Cylinder
- Inspect the hose and regulator assembly for abrasion, aging or any damage that may result in a gas leak at periodic intervals, at least once a year, and whenever replacing a cylinder.
Replace the assembly if necessary to ensure safe operation.
After connecting the assembly to a cylinder always carry out a leak check.
Only connect the appliance to cylinders that are current according to the date marking on the cylinder.
Storing your Barbecue
When storing barbecue for extended periods, be certain all controls and cylinder valves are turned off.
Gas cylinders must be stored outdoors, out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
The barbecue should be covered when not in use. A barbecue cover is available as an accessory.
The gas cylinder supply valve must be turned off when the appliance is not in use.

Note: For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the cylinder only, do not disconnect hose from appliance.
