Ignition System Check

Ignition of the Main and Rotisserie burners is via a common electronic ignition module with wiring and an electrode to individual burners.

This is indicated on the fascia panel by a black vertical line between the relevant gas knobs.

The ignition systems should be checked when the barbecue is first assembled. It is also recommended that the ignition system is checked after cleaning the cooking plates/grills, flame tamers, heat shields and burners and at the beginning of each barbecue season. The check should take place after the burners are inserted into the barbecue body but with the flame tamers, heat shields, cooking plates/grills and hot plates removed so the burners are visible.

Checking Burners & Rotisserie Burners

Ignition

1. Ensure the burners are correctly positioned and that the cooking plates/grills, flame tamers and heat shields are removed.

2. Ensure all burner controls are in the 'OFF' position and that the gas supply on the cylinder is shut off.

Checking Burner Operation

1. Push and turn the control knob of any main burner to ‘HIGH’, simultaneously pushing the electronic igniter button. The burner should light within 15 seconds.

2. If the burner does not light, turn to 'OFF’ and wait 5 minutes. Repeat the lighting procedure.

3. Once a flame is established on any main burner, push and turn the burner control knob of the other main burners. They should all light within 15 seconds via 'cross ignition' from burners already lit.

If any main burner does not light, turn control knob to 'OFF' position and wait 5 minutes. Then repeat the lighting procedure. If a burner flame cannot be achieved on individual burners, check that burner for obstructions and check it's positioning. If a flame cannot be obtained on all burners, perform the Ignition System check.

If burners go out during operation, close the gas supply at the source and turn all burner controls to

‘OFF’. Open the hood and wait at least 5 minutes before attempting to relight.

4. With HIGH flame established on all main burners check the burner flames. The flames should be approximately 2 cm tall, emanate around the perimeter of the burner tube and be generally 'blue' in appearance. Excessive yellow, irregular or ‘wafty’ flame ‘popping’ of the flame, sooting, black smoke, hissing sounds or other abnormal noises may indicate incorrect assembly or defect. Refer

to the “Trouble Shooting” section page 23.

Rinnai Australia - 13 Inbuilt BBQ Operation / Installation Manual

ASSEMBLY & PREPARATION FOR USE

Checking Rotisserie Burner Operation

1. Push and turn the control knob of the rotisserie burner to ‘HIGH’, simultaneously pushing the electronic igniter button. The rotisserie burner should light within 15 seconds.

During the ‘Burning Off’ procedure operate the main burners on ‘LOW’ and keep the hood closed for approximately 10 minutes. Then open the hood and allow to cool. Wash the cooking grill plates / hot plates with a suitable mild detergent. Allow to dry and replace.

General Cooking Tips

A little cooking fat or oil on the grill plate will prevent sticking of food being cooked on these surfaces.

During cooking, fat and scrapings will drip through to the drip tray. Do not allow excess fat and scrapings to build up.

Fats and juices that drip from the food being cooked onto the hot surfaces beneath may cause 'flare ups'.

Flare ups impart a distinct taste to the food being cooked and are desirable within reason. If flare ups are excessive turn the burners down a little.

Burner Settings

• HIGH - Use this setting for searing foods or for burning food residue off from cooking grills and hot plates. The 'HI' setting is rarely used for extended cooking.

• MEDIUM - (mid way between 'HIGH' and 'LOW'). Use this setting for grilling and for cooking burgers and vegetables.

• LOW - Use this setting when cooking lean or thin cuts of meats, poultry or fish. Any combination of burners on ’LOW’ can also be used for cooking with the hood down or in conjunction with the

Rotisserie burner.

The required burner settings will also be influenced by the outside air temperature and wind.

Cooking with the hood closed (Indirect Cooking)

Cooking with the hood in the closed position creates an 'oven' style effect by retaining the heat evenly in the enclosed space. This results in 'indirect cooking' and is especially suitable for large cuts of meat and poultry. The hood temperature gauge is a guide to the hood internal temperature.

Rinnai Australia - 17 Inbuilt BBQ Operation / Installation Manual

HOW TO USE

For cooking with the hood closed, it is recommended that the solid hot plates are removed and that the grill plate is placed over the centre burners as shown.

It is not recommended that the centre burners underneath the grill plate are activated.

Never use burners on ‘HIGH’ when cooking with the hood closed.

Cooking with Rotisserie

Convection cooking

For convection rotisserie cooking with the hood closed, it is recommended that the solid hot plates, grill plates and warming rack are removed when the rotisserie is in use. It is recommended that any combination of outside burners are activated for cooking. It is not recommended that the centre burners underneath the grill plate are activated.

Ensure flame tamer is fitted on the same side of the barbecue as the rotisserie motor.

Never use main burners on ‘HIGH’ when cooking with the hood closed.

Use the rotisserie bar 'prongs' to secure the meat or poultry onto the rotisserie bar, taking care to avoid injury. The weight of meat or poultry should not exceed 5 kg.

To ensure proper rotation it is important that the meat or poultry being cooked is properly balanced on the rotisserie bar.

This is easiest to achieve if the meat or poultry is of uniform shape and texture.

Cooking using the Infra Red Back Burner (Impressor 6 IB model)

The rotisserie burner is an 'infrared' type providing intense radiant heat. It is most commonly used for cooking meat or poultry. The intense radiant heat imparts unique flavours and prevents the natural juices in the food from escaping. Cooking times will vary depending on the size and cut of the meat or poultry.

For best results, use the rotisserie burner with the hood closed.

The rotisserie burner must be used in the ‘ON’ position only.

To test correct balancing of the food being place the ends of the bar loosely in the palm of your hands. If there is no tendency to roll, give it a quarter turn.

Repeat twice. If the rotisserie bar does not roll during this procedure the food is correctly balanced.

Rotisserie Handle

During rotisserie cooking ensure that the handle is always removed from the rotisserie shaft. This prevents the handle from overheating.

When fitting or removing the handle make sure the side burner(s) are turned ‘OFF’.

NOTE

The warming rack must be removed if the rotisserie is in use. If the counter weight is used, the grill / cooking plate beneath it will also need to be removed so the rotisserie can rotate freely.

Place the rotisserie motor onto the rotisserie motor bracket located on the left hand end next to the hood and insert the pointed square end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor slot.

If the rotisserie rod rolls, use the ‘counter weight’ to balance the food on the rotisserie bar, adjusting the position of the weight as required.

Make sure the hood will close over the bracket to enable cooking with the hood down using the rotisserie, you may need to flip the motor 180 degrees to achieve this.

Cooking using the Smoke Box (optional extra on the 3 Burner model)

The smoke box can be filled with wood chips suitable for smoking of foods. Charcoal, briquettes, rocks or sand are not suitable. Used in conjunction with the Rotisserie and Indirect cooking methods, a distinct smoked flavour can be imparted on the foods being cooked when the smoke box is used.

Using the warming rack

The warming rack can be used to keep foods that have already been cooked warm. The warming rack must be removed when the rotisserie is in use.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

General

Regular cleaning and maintenance will enable reliable and safe operation and prolong the life of your barbecue.

It is recommended that the cleaning and maintenance routine in this chapter be carried out prior to each barbecue season or more frequently if required.

If used in coastal areas or areas with high atmospheric moisture content the resulting rain, mist, salt spray etc. may adversely affect any exposed parts. Frequent cleaning and drying is recommended to minimise exposure and will avoid material breakdown.

CAUTION

• Ensure burner controls and gas cylinder valve are 'OFF' and let barbecue cool before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.

• DO NOT use oven cleaner to clean any barbecue components.

• DO NOT use a water pressure machine.

• The use of 'steel wool' or wire brushes are not recommended for cleaning as these will leave scratches. Such scratches are not covered under warranty.

• DO NOT pour cold water over any hot surfaces for cleaning purposes.

Cleaning the cooking plates / hot plates

Using the 'HIGH' setting on the main burners after cooking will burn much of the food residue from the plates and grills after cooking is over. It is recommended the cooking plates and grills are cleaned before the first use and after every subsequent use. Use a suitable mild household detergent and a soft textured cleaning cloth or dishwashing brush. Do not use appliance on ‘High’ for extended duration as this could discolour stainless steel.

To remove stubborn deposits, submerse the cooking plates and grills in water mixed with a small amount of suitable mild household detergent for an extended period of time (for example, overnight). After immersing, any remaining deposits can then be removed using a cloth or brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly before refitting to barbecue.

Cleaning the flame tamers / heat shields and drip tray

Periodic cleaning is recommended to prevent buildup of food residue. The cleaning method is the same as described for the cooking plates / hot plates.

Cleaning the barbecue panels

Barbecue panels are made from Stainless Steel for greater durability. Use a stainless steel cleaner and soft textured cleaning cloth wiping in the same direction as the 'grain' to avoid scratching. Do not use paint thinners or similar solvents for cleaning.

Cleaning the interior of the barbecue body

Rinnai recommend occasional cleaning of the interior of the barbecue body, as follows:

1. Remove and clean the cooking plates, grills, flame tamers, heat shields, smoke box (if fitted) drip tray and burners.

2. Remove the gas cylinder (if fitted) in accordance with the gas installation section.

3. Clean the interior panels and cooking tray surfaces using a stainless steel cleaner and soft textured cleaning cloth wiping in the same direction as the 'grain' to avoid scratching. Do not use paint thinners or similar solvents for cleaning.

4. Replace rear main panel, burners, flame tamers, heat shields, cooking plates, grills, smoke box (if fitted) and drip tray.

5. Replace the gas cylinder (if fitted) in accordance with gas installation section.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning burner tubes

CAUTION

• Spiders and small insects can occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burner tubes and ports. These can lead to gas flow obstruction which could result in poor combustion or, at worst, a fire in and around the burner tubes.

• This type of fire is known as 'flash back' and can cause serious damage to your barbecue and create an unsafe operating condition for the user.

• Obstructed burner tubes and ports are the most common cause of 'flash back'.

• It is important that Burner tubes are inspected and cleaned frequently to prevent ‘flash back’.

Burner tube inspection and cleaning should take place especially in late summer or early autumn when spiders are most active or when the barbecue has not been used for an extended period.

Inspection and cleaning procedure is as follows:

1. Remove cooking plates, grills, flame tamers, heat shields, smoke box (if fitted).

2. Remove burners as shown.

3. Clean the outside of the burner tubes by using a suitable mild household detergent and dishwashing brush. To remove stubborn deposits and wash the inside of the burner tubes, immerse the burner tubes in water mixed with a small amount of suitable mild household detergent for an extended period of time (for example, overnight). After immersing, any deposits remaining on the outside can then be removed by using a dishwashing brush. If stubborn deposits still remain, steel wool or a wire brush can be used, however, these are more likely to leave scratches and are not recommended.

CLICK !

IMPORTANT: Rinse and dry burners thoroughly on both the inside and outside before refitting to barbecue.

4. Replace burners by following the reverse of the

'burner removal' procedure (Step 2).

5. Check the ignition system, burner operation and replace the flame tamers, heat shields, cooking grills / plates in accordance with

"Assembly and Preparation for Use" section.
