hooks of the charcoal bowl. Always put the grill in this
position when you use the appliance.
When you want to store the appliance, put the
supports of the grill next to the hooks of the charcoal
bowl (Fig. 3, on page 100). When the grill is in this
lower position, you can put the cover on the
appliance. See also “8.3 Storing the appliance”.
You can also light the charcoal in the Barbecook

barbecue.
