3. About the Unit

The CADAC Leisure Chef offers five different methods of cooking; (see fig. 2a-c)

Ÿ

The Skottel BBQ:

Used for wok-style cooking of stir-fries, pasta, rice dishes or traditional breakfasts.

Ÿ

The BBQ:

Ideal for fat-free barbecuing of meat, fish or vegetables. Ideal for foods with a high fat content as the built-in moat allows the fat released by cooking, to drain away so that the food is cooked away from the excess fat.

Ÿ

Ÿ

The Non-Stick Reversible Grill:

Ideal for grilling meat or vegetables on the ribbed surface, while the flat surface can be used for stir-fries, breakfasts or pancakes. The non-stick surface allows for healthier cooking using less fat.

The BBQ Lid:

Used with any of the above cooking surfaces respectively is ideal for roasting,

Ÿ baking, stewing or steaming.

A unique feature of the Leisure Chef is the interchangeability of the various cooking surfaces, which allows for a variety of cooking options. It is easy to change between any of the cooking options. This gives the user maximum cooking flexibility at an economical price. See the enclosed full colour Recipe Book that features a number of appetising recipe ideas that are easy to prepare using the various Leisure Chef cooking surfaces.

4. Using the Appliance

Caution: As accessible parts become very hot, the use of oven gloves is advisable. Keep young children away from the appliance. (see fig. 2a-c)

Ÿ

Skottel BBQ.

To prepare the Skottel BBQ option for use place it onto the Fat Pan so that all three Locators will properly mate with the Die Castings in the Fat Pan thus ensuring a stable fitment. Cooking temperatures are easily adjusted to suit your own requirements by turning the

Control Knob to regulate the degree of heat. A feature of the Skottel BBQ is that it offers various heat zones. This is very useful as some foods cook quicker than others and the food that is ready first, can be moved to the cooler areas of the dish to keep warm whilst the balance of the food is still cooking.

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

BBQ.

To prepare the BBQ option for use, first place the Fat Pan in the Burner Pan making sure that the location recesses on the Fat Pan line up with the Fat Pan Locators on the outer edge of the Burner Pan. Place the Deflector Plate centrally into the bottom of the Fat Pan so that it rests on its five feet. Complete the assembly by placing the chromed Wire Grid in place within the location recess in the Fat Pan.

Non-Stick Reversible Grill.

To prepare the Non-Stick Reversible Grill option for use, first place the Fat Pan on the Burner Pan making sure that the location recesses on the Fat Pan line up with the Fat Pan Locators on the outer edge of the BurnerPan. Depending on the desired cooking option, place the Non-Stick Reversible Grill Plate with either the ribbed or flat surface face up, securely within the upper recess of the Fat Pan. The easy to clean, non-stick surface allows for healthier cooking using less fat.

Adjust the cooking time and temperature depending on personal preferences for rare, medium or well done. Meat cooked in this manner, on the ribbed surface of the Non-stick reversible grill plate will have the blackened lines as on professionally grilled steaks.

BBQ Lid.

The BBQ Lid may be used with the Skottel BBQ, BBQ and Non-Stick Reversible

Grill options. When used with either the BBQ or Non-Stick Reversible Grill option, the BBQ Lid locates on the outer lip of the Fat Pan. This gives a more direct type of heating for faster cooking. When used with the BBQ for roasting, pour a cup of water in the Fat Pan to provide a cleaner cooking environment.

Do not use the BBQ Lid on any of the above configurations with the appliance running at the full

(high) or intermediate (medium) rates.Use the BBQ lid configurations only at the reduced rate

(low) setting, this should produce more than enough heat for cooking under normal circumstances. As this appliance has a high heat output, using more heat while cooking with the

BBQ Lid may cause damage to certain components. Refer to your enclosed Recipe Book for mouth-watering recipe ideas to “Take Your Tastebuds On An Adventure”.

The BBQ Lid conveniently hooks onto the fat pan and is supported by means of two rubber coated plastic brackets on the back legs. This is particulary usefull when you don’t want to use the lid. It can also act as a windshield.

Precautions to observe before lighting.

After prolonged storage, inspect the Air Holes in the Valve Cover for insects such as spiders, which could affect gas flow. Also unclip the Valve Cover and inspect the inlet of the Venturi for insects. After checking, refit all components into the prescribed position.

Use this appliance only on a firm level surface.

Lighting up using the Piezo Igniter (see fig. 3)

To light up the appliance using the piezo igniter, push and turn the control knob in an anticlockwise direction until you hear a click. If the gas does not ignite on the first spark, turn the control knob fully clockwise and try again by pushing and turning the control knob anti-clockwise until you hear a click. If the gas has not ignited in the first two or three seconds you should close the control valve and wait approximately thirty seconds to let any accumulated gas within the burner pan assembly escape. Repeat the above procedure if necessary until the flame ignites.

The flame should normally light up within the first one or two seconds.

Lighting up using a match or BBQ lighter (see fig. 4)

To light the appliance, light a match or barbecue lighter. Open up the Control valve as described under 'General” and light the appliance Burner. When starting cold, the appliance may be lit from the top prior to fitting the desired cooking surface onto the Fat Pan. When lighting up a hot appliance however, it is recommended that this be done by sticking the match or barbecue lighter through one of the larger Vent Holes directly underneath the Burner.

General

Once the appliance is lit, the flame intensity may be adjusted by turning the valve knob anticlockwise to reduce the flame, or clockwise to increase the flame.

The fully closed position is at the furthest clockwise position. To rotate the valve from the fully closed position it is necessary to first depress the knob just enough to move out of the lock mechanism. While holding the knob in, turn it in an anti-clockwise direction. Once the spindle has moved out of the lock position it is no longer necessary to keep the control knob depressed and it can be rotated freely to the desired flame setting. (see fig. 5)

The control knob has a lock position at maximum flame setting. To rotate the valve to a fully closed position it is necessary to depress the valve control knob just enough to allow the spindle to move out of the lock mechanism at maximum setting.

The flame may be observed through the Inspection Hole provided for this purpose in the side of the Fat Pan. (see fig. 6)

When cooking food with a high fat content, flaring may occur if the selected heat setting is too high. Should this happen, turn the heat down until the flaring ceases.

Do not move the appliance when in use as, apart from being an unsafe practice, to move the appliance whilst lit, may cause flaring.

After use, first close the valve on the gas container (where applicable). When the flame has extinguished, close the valve on the appliance by turning the Control Knob fully clockwise.

5. Fitting and changing the gas container

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

Before fitting the regulator to a gas container, ensure that the seal on the regulator is in position and in good condition. This should be done with every connection.

Ensure that the gas container is fitted or changed in a well-ventilated location, preferably outdoors, away from any source of ignition such as naked flames or electric fires and away from other people.

Making sure that the gas container is kept upright, screw the regulator onto the container until it is fully engaged. Hand-tighten only.

If there is a leak on your appliance (smell of gas), take it outside immediately into a wellventilated flame-free location where the leak may be detected and stopped. If you wish to check for leaks on your appliance, do it outside using soapy water only, which is applied to the joints. A formation of bubbles will indicate the gas leak.

Check that all the connections are securely fitted and re-check with soapy water. If you cannot rectify the gas leak,

do not use the appliance.

Contact your local CADAC stockist for assistance.

When changing a gas container, firstly close the container valve (if fitted) and then turn the

Control Knob clockwise to its stop position. Ensuring that the flame is extinguished, unscrew the regulator. Refit a full container following the same precautions as described above.

6. Caring For The Grill Plates

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

Ÿ

The Non-stick reversible grill plate is coated with a tough durable non-stick coating that has been used with great success on some of the best cookware in the world. Nevertheless, taking care of it can help you to enjoy extra years of healthy, easy, non-stick cooking.

Use only low or medium heat settings to help retain the valuable nutrients in the food and maintain the non-stick surface.

Whilst the non-stick coating is very durable, it can easily be damaged by the use of metal cooking utensils. It is therefore recommended that only plastic or wooden utensils be used when cooking.

Do not overheat the Non-stick reversible grill plate and always add a little cooking oil to the surface before use.

Always allow the Non-stick reversible grill plate to cool before immersing it in water.

The non-stick coating is perfectly safe in the dishwasher, but the non-stick surface is so easy to clean that a quick hand-wash does the trick. The use of abrasive detergents is not recommended, as this will permanently damage the non-stick surface.

After cleaning recondition the surface with a light wipe of oil.

7. General Maintenance

Ÿ

This appliance does not require scheduled maintenance.

Replacing a Blocked Jet: (see fig. 7a-g)

Your Leisure Chef is fitted with a specific size jet to regulate the correct flow of gas.

Should the hole in the Jet become blocked, this may result in a small flame or no flame at all.

Do not attempt to clean the Jet with a pin or other such device as this may damage the orifice (hole), which could make the appliance unsafe.

To replace the Jet: Unscrew the fitting connected to the inlet of the valve before unscrewing the valve covers.

Remember

that because the valve inlet has a left-hand thread, unscrewing any fitting requires clockwise rotation when viewed from the fitting end of the valve.

Ÿ

Start by unclipping the plastic indicator from the control knob. This will expose a screw that needs to be removed with a star screw driver. Once the screw has been fully unscrewed and removed, you can pull the control knob off the valve spindle (see fig. 7a and b).

Ÿ

Using a star screw driver, undo and remove the 3 screws holding the front and bottom valve covers in place (see fig. 7c).

Ÿ

Remove the front cover by unclipping it from the bottom cover and pulling it off the valve spindle (see fig. 7d).

Ÿ

Turn the burner pan over so that the bottom valve cover face up. Unscrew the 2 fixing screws and lift the bottom cover from the burner pan, this will expose the valve (see fig. 7e).

Ÿ

Undo the 2 screws holding the valve and place and carefully lift the valve out of the valve box. Be carefull not to damage the piezo ignition wire (see fig. 7f and g).

Ÿ

With the valve in hand, use a suitable size spanner to loosen and remove the jet. Screw the

Ÿ new jet into the valve, being carefull not to overtighten the jet, as this may damage the jet.

Do not use pliers to remove the old jet, or fit the new jet, as this may damage the hexagon head, making it unusable and / or difficult to remove.

Reverse the above procedure to re-assemble the unit

Reconnect the gas supply as described in the Assembly Instructions.
