Helpful Tips to Get You Started
- Grilling: A direct cooking method for searing food directly above the heat source on the cooking grill.
- Reversible Steam Pan and Reservoir: These accessories enable steaming, smoking, or defrosting. Refer to your Owner's Manual for detailed setup instructions.
- Hotplate Cooking: An optional hotplate accessory can be used on the left or right side of the cooking grill for foods that might fall through the grill, such as eggs or pancakes.
- Cleaning and Maintenance: Clean your barbecue before each use. Brush the grills clean after preheating. A thorough cleaning is recommended every 5 cooks. Refer to your Owner's Manual for details.
Factors Affecting Cooking Times
The suggested settings are based on testing in a sheltered outdoor environment at approximately 20°C. Adjust preheat times, cook settings, or barbecue settings based on your cooking conditions and personal taste.
