Cooking with the lid closed
Gas barbecues with lids allow gentle cooking of larger pieces
of meat and whole poultry, similar to an oven.
With the lid closed, only flame is required. Set the temperature
to a low or medium flame and close the lid. AVOID
EXCESSIVE HEATING OF THE BARBECUE. Opening the
lid for no reason each time causes heat to escape and thus
extends the cooking time. You should therefore avoid opening
the lid unnecessarily.
Finishing barbecuing
As soon as the food has been cooked, the barbecue should
be allowed to burn for 5 more minutes on a high flame. This
enables to burn away residues on the burner and make
cleaning easier. Make sure that the lid is removed during this
process.
Turning off the barbecue
To switch off the barbecue, set the regulator on the gas
cylinder to Off. Then turn the temperature controller on the
barbecue to  (off). Wait until the barbecue has cooled down
sufficiently before closing the lid.

Cooking tips

1. Brush the grill grates with cooking or vegetable oil prior to
using the appliance.
2. Use a brush with a long handle. Juices from the food drip
onto the heater during cooking and vaporize. The steam
arising from this process contributes to the taste of the
food.
3. Adjust the temperature controller between
flame) and (low flame) in order to achieve your desired
cooking results.
4. Keep the lid closed at a low flame in order to achieve a
more consistent result and to cook larger pieces of meat or
whole chickens.
5. Avoid opening the lid too often as accumulated heat
escapes each time, increasing the grilling duration as a
result.
