WARNING

When using this electric appliance, caution must be taken to reduce the risk of electrical shock, personal injury and fire. Make sure the power cable does not obstruct traffic and is kept away from any liquid. Always check that the appliance is in good condition and if in doubt, contact manufacturer.

1. Check the power supply is turned on.
2. Ensure there is no flammable material on the barbecue plate.
3. Choose the desired side for cooking (left or right hand cooking zone).
4. Turn the temperature control clockwise so the control knob indicator aligns with the high temperature indicator.
5. Allow between 5 and 10 minutes for the barbecue plate to reach full temperature.
6. Place your food on the plate and start cooking. When cooking large amounts of food or thick meat cuts, leave the temperature on high until the meat is seared then assess the rate of cooking and turn the temperature down if required.
7. When you have finished cooking, turn the temperature control anti-clockwise to the OFF position.

DO NOT LEAVE THE HOT PLATE ON HIGH FOR MORE THAN 10 MINUTES IF FOOD IS NOT BEING COOKED.

MAINTENANCE

How to clean your barbecue

The outer body of your Epicure Pro barbecue is manufactured from quality 316 marine grade stainless steel, and the plate is aluminium with a Teflon coating. As its name suggests, ‘stainless' steel stains less than steel but it must be cleaned regularly. If the barbecue has not been cleaned for long periods, you may notice a brown discolouration starting to form on the stainless steel surfaces – this is called tea-staining and it can be prevented by following this cleaning guide.

External cleaning

1. The exterior surfaces should be cleaned or wiped down regularly to prevent tea-staining and to prolong the high finish of the stainless steel.
2. If tea-staining occurs it should be attended to in the early stages as it will be much easier to remove. If left, it will gradually get worse until it turns into rust.
3. Washing the exterior of the barbecue using a wet cloth and warm soapy water will help to remove general contamination found in the air such as dust, dirt and salt. Do not hose the barbecue or pour water directly over the controls.
4. When applied to the external surfaces, silicone-based polishes are ideal to help the stainless steel form a protective layer to prevent tea-staining and rusting. Apply and work the polish with a soft cloth then remove the polish with a second, clean, soft cloth. Do not use silicone based products on the cooking surface.
5. Do not use scouring pads or steel wool on the stainless steel body, surround or control panel as it will damage the stainless steel surface, leaving it prone to rusting.

Cleaning the barbecue plate

1. The plate can be removed for easy cleaning using the supplied plate lifting tool as pictured.
2. After cooking, the surface should be carefully wiped with paper towel or a damp cloth. Alternatively, the hot plate can be removed using the plate lifter once the barbecue has cooled. It can then be washed with warm soapy water.
3. Do not use scouring pads or steel wool on the hot plate surface.
4. Please note the barbecue plate is not dishwasher safe.
