- put the full cylinder in place, refit the regulator, taking
care not to apply stress to the hose. Check for gas
leaks.
m) OPERATION
It's recommended that protective gloves be worn to
handle components which may be very hot.
On first use, heat the barbecue with the hood closed and
burners in the high position ( ) for around 30 minutes
in order to get rid of the paint smell on new parts.
In normal operation, preheat the barbecue with the lid
closed for 15 to 20 minutes to bring the cooking grids up
to the correct temperature.
In order to reduce food from sticking to the grilles, brush
the grilles lightly with cooking oil prior to placing any food
to be grilled.
In order to reduce the amount of grease catching fire
while cooking, remove any surplus fat from the meet
prior to placing it on the grille. Clean the barbecue after
each use to prevent the accumulation of grease and the
risk of it catching fire.
Important:
The barbecue is provided with a cross-lighting system
between the burners. This system allows automatic re-
ignition of a burner that is accidentally extinguished.
However, if the system were to fail, immediately place
the knobs to "OFF" (
O ). Open the lid. Wait 5 minutes to
allow the removal of unburned gas. Proceed again to the
ignition operation only after this time.
n) CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Never modify the barbecue: any modification may
prove dangerous.
After each use, remove the parts from the bottom of the
bowl (reflector, grease tray) and clean them using a
sponge and washing-up liquid. They can also be put in
the dish washer.
In order to maintain your barbecue in perfect operating
condition, it is recommended to clean it periodically
(after 1 or 2 uses).
wait until the barbecue has cooled down before
cleaning. close the gas cylinder.
If the appliance has not been used for 30 days, also
check that the burner orifices have not been blocked by
spiders webs as this could lead to a decrease in the
barbecue's efficiency or a dangerous ignition of gas
outside the burner. Clean the holes in the venturi tube
(see figure below) or the burner, as appropriate.

To make cleaning this stand easier, Campingaz® has
invented

, the 6 parts of the stand can
be dismantled without the need for tools in less than a
minute and can be cleaned in a dish-washer.
Depending on how dirty these parts are, you may need
to brush them before putting them in the dish-washer
for a more thorough clean. For assembly and
disassembly of these parts, please refer to the
assembly manual.
- Hotplate and cooking grid.
Your hotplate and cooking grid are enamelled.
Wait for them to cool before attempting to clean them.
Use Campingaz® BBQ Cleaner Spray and barbecue
brushes for cleaning.
You can clean your hotplate and cooking grid in the
dish-washer. It is often necessary to supplement this
cleaning by rubbing with a sponge or wire brush.
To remove the cast-iron
hotplate, slide your finger into
the hole shown below. Lift the
hotplate and take hold of it with
your other hand.
To remove the cast iron, two-
part grid (see paragraph

Accessories below), first
remove the central portion by
sliding your finger into the hole
indicated below, then remove
the edge.
- Grease tray
Your barbecue is fitted with two grease recovery trays.
We recommend cleaning them after each use. They
can be cleaned in a dish-washer.
To make cleaning easier, the width of the grease trays
is sized so that you can cover them with a sheet of
aluminium foil available from the shops before
switching the barbecue on. After using the barbecue,
throw the sheet of aluminium foil away.
You can also put some sand into the bottom of the
grease tray to absorb the cooking fat. Throw the sand
away each time the barbecue is used.

Heat reflector (W-shaped part)
You can clean this part in a dish-washer. It is often
necessary to supplement this cleaning by rubbing with
a sponge or flexible brush.
- Hood glass (depending on the model)
Clean periodically with a window cleaner or chimney
insert cleaner. In case of difficulty, remove the glass
from the hood and clean it with an oven cleaner.
For removing stubborn dirt, Campingaz® recommends
using steel wool soap pads.
- Metal surfaces around the burners
These metal parts are covered in aluminum. Never use
oven cleaners on them since this type of cleaner will
damage the aluminum.
