GETTING THE APPLIANCE READY
FOR USE
You need charcoal, firelighters (complying with EN 1860-3) and
a long match.
5.1 Which charcoal should I use?
Always light your appliance with traditional charcoal, never with
briquettes. Once the appliance is lit, you can add briquettes.
Use good quality charcoal to light the appliance, preferably
complying with EN 1860-2. Good quality charcoal is composed
of large, shiny bricks and does not give off much dust.
2
Close your bag of charcoal properly before storing it.
Always store it in a dry place, do not store it in a cellar.
5.2 Step 1: Placing the charcoal
3
The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figures 2
through 5, on page 50.
Once the appliance is fully assembled and the batteries are in
place, you can place the charcoal. Proceed as follows:
1
Put the bowl in the appliance.
2
Put the base in the charcoal container.
3
Fill the charcoal container with charcoal and firelighters. We
recommend using 500 grams of charcoal and 3 firelighters.
4
Put the charcoal container in the bowl.
5.3 Step 2: Lighting the charcoal
3
The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figures 6 and
7, on page 50.
1
Light the firelighters with a long match and turn on the
electrical fan. Set the control knob to the highest position.
2
Put the cover on the charcoal container.
1
When using the appliance for the first time, let it burn for
30 minutes. This removes any remaining manufacturing
greases from the appliance.
1
Do not put the grill on the appliance yet. An empty grill can
deform when held in the heat for too long.
1
Warning! Do not use spirit or petrol to light or re-light the
appliance. Only use firelighters that comply with
EN 1860-3.
5.4 Step 3: Placing the grill and food
3
The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figures 8
through 10, on page 51.
1
Put the grill on the appliance and fix it with the clips.
2
Wait until the charcoal is covered with a thin layer of white
ashes. Normally, this takes about 15 minutes.
3
Put your food on the grill.

USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS
6.1 Adjusting the fire intensity
You can adjust the intensity of the fire by increasing or
decreasing the speed of the fan:
•
The faster the fan turns, the more air is blown into the
charcoal container and the more intense the fire will be.
•
Use the control knob to adjust the speed of the fan.
6.2 Preventing food from burning
To prevent your food from burning:
•
Never start grilling when there still are flames in the charcoal
container. Wait until the charcoal is covered with a thin layer
of white ashes.
•
Avoid exposing your food to excessive heat. You can reduce
the heat by decreasing the speed of the fan.
6.3 Preventing food from sticking
To prevent your food from sticking to the grill:
•
Oil the food lightly with a brush before you put it on the grill.
You can also oil the grill itself.
•
Do not turn the food too quickly. Let it catch some heat first.
6.4 Adding charcoal
500 grams of charcoal will make your fire last about two hours. If
necessary, add charcoal to keep the fire going. Proceed as
follows:
1
Put gloves on. Keep them on during the entire procedure.
2
Carefully release the clips and remove the grill from the
appliance.
3
Remove the cover from the charcoal container and add the
charcoal.
4
Put the cover on the charcoal container.
5
Put the grill on the appliance and fix it with the clips.

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE
7.1 Cleaning the appliance
We recommend cleaning the appliance after each use. Proceed
as follows:
1
Let the appliance cool down completely.
2
Release the clips and remove the grill. Clean the grill as
described in “7.2 Cleaning the grill”.
3
Remove the charcoal container (with cover and base) and
the inner bowl from the outer bowl.
4
Clean the outer bowl and the electrical components with a
wet cloth or brush.
5
Put the inner bowl, the charcoal container, the cover and the
base in the dishwasher.
2
You can also clean these components by hand, using a
soft sponge or cloth and a regular detergent.
1
Never use acid, white spirit or other flammable products
to clean the appliance.
7.2 Cleaning the grill
We recommend cleaning the grill after each use, with the
Barbecook cleaner. Proceed as follows:
1
Let the grill cool down completely.
2
Spray the foam on the grill and let it act for a while.
The foam discolours, as it soaks off the dirt and greases.
3
Remove the foam with a soft sponge and water and rinse the
grill thoroughly.
4
Dry the grill well and store it in a dry place. This prevents
formation of rust.
2
You can also put the grill in the dishwasher or clean it with
a soft detergent or with sodium bicarbonate. Never use
oven cleaners on the grill.
