Temperature Controller Insertion (Cont…..)
controller to be inserted into the BBQ plate, the stainless steel pin must first be aligned into
the directional tube within the sleeve. To achieve this, the stainless steel pin should be
inserted flat and level, centred both vertically and horizontally across the sleeve face. As
required, visually inspect the sleeve arrangement on the BBQ plate prior to inserting the
temperature controller to best understand the above arrangement.
At such time as the stainless steel pin has located into the directional tube, the two (2)
element ends will soon make contact with the temperature controller. Conversely to the
stainless steel pin on the temperature controller itself, the element ends must insert back into
each side of the temperature controller for the appliance to operate (again, be sure to inspect
both the sleeve arrangement and temperature controller itself to best understand how this
works prior to using the appliance). At such time as the element ends meet the temperature
controller, as required to insert the temperature controller further, proceed to gently but firmly
“wriggle” the controller in/across the horizontal plain (towards and away from you when
standing in front of the appliance) to assist with the further insertion of the element ends into
the temperature controller. As the element ends slide into the temperature controller, the
controller is then able to slide further into the sleeve (by approx another 6mm). As above,
inserting the temperature controller may require some firm but not excessive use of force.
When standing in front of the appliance, use your left hand to support the appliance while
simultaneously applying force with your right hand to insert the temperature controller into the
appliance. Likewise, a similar use of force including firmly “wriggling” the controller in/across
the horizontal plain (towards and away from you when standing in front of the appliance, while
at all times keeping the controller horizontal) while pulling the temperature controller out of the
appliance is required. Please note however once the element ends detach from inside the
temperature controller, the load will quickly release making the removable process much
easier. Please therefore use caution as the temperature controller will quickly become easy to
remove at this point.
Operation
To operate, simply adjust the temperature control knob to the desired cooking level (1 being
the coolest or min setting, with 10 being the hottest or max setting). When the element is in
operation and providing heat to the BBQ plate, an orange light will illuminate on the top
surface of the temperature controller. For optimal performance of your appliance, we
recommend pre-heating your BBQ for a period of time prior to cooking. If cooking with the lid
closed, use a lower temperature. Use extreme caution when cooking on a high setting with
the lid closed for extended periods as the appliances’ surfaces will become extremely hot.
After you have finished cooking with the BBQ, turn the temperature controller to the ‘min/off’
position, switch off at the power supply outlet and then disconnect the plug and lead.
1. Turn the temperature controller knob in a clockwise direction and set to the desired heat.
2. For optimal performance, Sovereign BBQs recommends pre-heating your appliance for a
short period.
Optimum Cooking Temperatures
WARNING: The BBQ will reach much greater temperatures with the lid closed. Cooking time
is therefore a lot quicker when cooking with the lid closed. Prolonged periods of excessive
temperatures will cause extremely hot surfaces on your appliance. Generally a low to
medium temperature setting is optimum for cooking in normal conditions.
