3. Setup and Assembly

The barbecue requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps before first use:

1. Place the main body of the barbecue on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface.
2. Insert the removable drip tray into the base of the barbecue. Ensure it is correctly seated.
3. Fill the drip tray with approximately 700-800ml of water. This helps reduce smoke and makes cleaning easier.
4. Attach the heating element unit to the main body. Ensure it clicks securely into place, activating the safety micro-switch.
5. Place the stainless steel grill rack onto the heating element supports. You can choose between two height levels for different cooking intensities.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective grilling:

1. Preparation: Ensure the barbecue is assembled correctly with water in the drip tray.
2. Plug In: Connect the power cord to a suitable 240V electrical outlet.
3. Set Temperature: Turn the temperature control dial to your desired setting (1-5). The indicator light will illuminate, signaling that the heating element is active.
4. Preheat: Allow the grill to preheat for 5-10 minutes until the grill rack is hot. The indicator light will turn off when the set temperature is reached, and cycle on/off during cooking to maintain heat.
5. Place Food: Carefully place food onto the hot grill rack.
6. Adjust Height (Optional): For faster cooking or searing, use the higher grill position. For slower cooking or keeping food warm, use the lower position.
7. Monitor Cooking: Turn food as needed for even cooking.
8. Finish Cooking: Once food is cooked, turn the temperature dial to "OFF" and unplug the appliance.
