Wash hood before first use
Wash the roasting hood thoroughly with warm soapy water
or an approved nonabrasive cleaner before use� On stainless
steel models use a suitable stainless steel cleaner to remove
all fingerprints prior to lighting and operating your barbecue�
If not removed, fingerprints will discolour the steel�
Lighting your barbecue
It is important to open the hood while lighting the barbecue�
If you do not, gases can build up inside the hood and create a
dangerous situation�
Cooking with the beefeater roasting hood
If you are cooking a roast, it is always a good idea to use a
roast holder and baking dish� This will keep the meat to cook
by convection� (This is essential in the case of the 2 burner
barbecue where the meat tray will be sitting over direct)�
NOTE: Do not use a baking dish/tray with a depth less than
35mm� Shallow trays will fill quickly and overflow, which
could cause a grease fire�
Opening the hood
NOTE: The more the roasting hood is opened to attend to
cooking food the more heat will be lost, lengthening the
cooking time�
Do not use more than two burners on high at any one time�
This may cause damage to the barbecue and roasting hood�
The roasting hood can retain a great deal of heat at any
one time� This may cause damage to the barbecue and
roasting hood�
The roasting hood can retain a great deal of heat and
therefore, constant monitoring is required� The barbecue
should be attended at all times�
There is sufficient heat generated by two burners, one each
end of the barbecue, to roast: lamb, pork, chicken, turkey,
etc� As a temperature guide, two burners on low will produce
approximately 150˚C (300˚F) and two burners on high will
produce approximately 240˚C (460˚F)� Windy conditions and
cold weather also affect hot plate temperature�
WARNING
WARNING
Do not exceed the temperature warning on the temperature
gauge. Operating the barbecue and roasting hood above this
temperature will discolour stainless steel components and
may cause damage to the appliance. See the ‘cleaning and
maintenance’ instructions for tips on how to clean stainless steel.
Do not use more than two burners on high at any one time.
This may cause damage to the barbecue and roasting hood.
