VISUAL CHECK OF THE FLAMES
I
If the flames of the burners jump out of the
burner box when the barbecue is in use,
immediately turn off the control knobs.
Wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to escape
before relighting the barbecue. Read the
chapter 'Troubleshooting Guide' if the
problem persists.
Each time you light the barbecue you
should check the flames. (Fig. I) A proper
flame is almost comletely blue, with some
yellow at the top. If the flame is abnormally
small and for the most part yellow, switch
off the barbecue and check the venturi
tubes for obstructions, or read the chapter
'Troubleshooting Guide'.
SWITCHING OFF THE BARBECUE
• Close the gas cylinder valve
• Turn all control knobs of the burners
to 'OFF'.
If you follow the above order, there will be
no more pressurized gas in the system.

USEFUL TIPS FOR USE OF THE
BARBECUE
USING YOUR BRAHMA FOR THE FIRST
TIME
When using your gas barbecue for the
first time, you must first allow the unit to
run in by operating it for a short period
of time without any food. To run in the
barbecue, light the barbecue. Close the lid
and maintain the temperature at 'HIGH'
for 15 minutes. Do not open the lid during
this procedure. You then open the lid and
allow the barbecue to operate for another
5 minutes at 'HIGH'. The barbecue is now
ready for use.
WARMING UP THE BARBECUE
Allow the barbecue to warm up before pla-
cing any food on it. Close the lid and heat
the cooking surface for at least 10 minutes
in the setting 'HIGH'. To bake at a lower
temperature than the setting 'HIGH', turn
the control knobs to the required position
before placing any food on the barbecue.
HIGH
COOKING TIME
The actual cooking time depends on vari-
LOW
ous factors such as taste, outside tempe-
rature and wind. Experience will teach you
how to estimate this time.
KEEPING FLARE-UPS UNDER CON-
TROL
During barbecuing, some flare-ups are
natural. Too many flare-ups, however, will
increase the temperature in the barbecue,
thereby causing accumulated fat to ignite
and cause fire.
To reduce flare-ups:
• Remove excess fat from the meat
before baking
• Bake fat meat (chicken and pork) at
a low setting
• Check that the hole in front of the fat
drain is not blocked and the fat drip
cup is not full
• Bake with closed lid to cut off the air
supply and lower the heat settings
NOTE: If the lid is closed, your barbecue
will retain a more constant temperature
and food can be baked faster and with less
energy.
Should the burner(s) go out during baking,
open the lid, turn off the burner(s) and
wait 5 minutes to allow the gas to escape
before relighting the burner.
HOW TO PREVENT FOOD FROM STIC-
KING TO THE GRID
• Rub food lightly with oil before you
place it on the grid
• Or brush the grid with some cooking
oil to prevent food from sticking
• Do not turn food too quickly after
placing it on the grid
