Operating Instructions

Lighting the Burners:

1. Open Lid: Always open the braai lid before lighting.
2. Turn on Gas Supply: Ensure the gas bottle valve is fully open.
3. Ignite First Burner: Push and turn the control knob for the left burner to the "HIGH" position. Immediately push and hold the ignitor button for 3-5 seconds. You should hear a click and see the burner ignite.
4. Ignite Second Burner: Once the left burner is lit, turn its control knob to "HIGH". The right burner will automatically ignite from the flame of the left burner.
5. Adjust Heat: Once both burners are lit, adjust the control knobs to your desired heat level (LOW to HIGH).
6. Troubleshooting Ignition: If a burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn off the gas supply, wait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting procedure. If ignition issues persist, refer to the Troubleshooting section.

Cooking with Your Braai:

• Preheating: Close the lid and allow the braai to preheat for 10-15 minutes on medium heat before placing food on the grill.
• Temperature Control: Use the control knobs to adjust the flame intensity for different cooking requirements. The integrated thermometer in the hood allows for accurate temperature monitoring.
• Warming Rack: Utilize the warming rack to keep cooked food warm or to gently toast buns.
• Even Cooking: The black matte enamel cast iron cooking grill ensures even heat distribution for consistent results.
