manual in a safe place, readily available for reference if
necessary.
A - ASSEMBLING
Assemble the different parts in the order described in the
enclosed leaflet.
B - SAFETY WARNINGS
- WARNING! This barbecue will become very hot, do not
move it during operation.
- WARNING! Do not use indoors! Do not use in a garage,
under a veranda, under an arbor or in any other type
of closed area. Do not use less than two metres from
combustible material.
- WARNING! Do not use alcohol or gasoline to light or
reactivate a fire.
We recommend using a starter which complies with the
EN1860-3 standard to light your gas system.
If you use a charcoal lighting fluid, remove all traces of
any liquid which may have dripped into the lower aeration
vents before lighting the charcoal.
- WARNING! Do not leave the barbecue within reach of
children and household pets.
- This barbecue complies with the standard NF EN 1860-1.
However, when using it, a certain amount of supervision
and caution is necessary.
- Do not let children come close to the heat source.
- There are a high number of accidents reported every year
and burns caused to children are particularly serious as
their faces tend to be at the same level as the fire.
- The time it takes to light your barbecue depends on the
type of charcoal. The larger the chunks (restaurant size),
the easier it is to light, and vice versa.
- Before using, check that the barbecue is solidly installed
on a stable, horizontal surface away from any combustible
material.
- By windy day, place your grill so that the wind does not
raise the sparks.
- Wear barbecue gloves for cooking or adjusting the air
control system (6).
- Never leave your barbecue unattended while in use.
- Never touch the cooking grid (1), the charcoal grate (2), the
ashes, the charcoal or the barbecue to see if they are hot.
- The cooking handles (1) should be used only for cleaning
and loading fuel. They must not be manipulated during
cooking.
- Do not try to stop flare-ups or extinguish charcoal using
water. The enamel surface of the barbecue could be
damaged. Slightly close the lower air control system and
put the lid on the firebox.
- Extinguish the charcoal when cooking is finished. Close
the Air Control System (3) and place the lid (4) over the
firebox.
- Use appropriate long-handled and heat-resistant
barbecue utensils.
- Never put hot charcoal in an inappropriate place (risk
of fire or burns). Never throw the charcoal ashes away
before they are fully extinguished. Never store the
barbecue if the ashes and charcoal have not completely
cooled.
- Keep inflammable liquids and sprays, as well as all
combustible materials, away from the cooking area.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other inflammable liquids
and sprays near your device. The barbecue should be
kept away from inflammable materials when it is in use.
- Parts which have been protected by the manufacturer
or the manufacturer’s representative must not be
manipulated by the user.
C – USAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
- Spread the charcoal evenly in the firebox (5). Do not
overfill the receptacle.
- The easiest way to light the charcoal is to use a barbecue
starter which is compliant with the EN 1860-3 standard
and which you can easily find in stores. It is absolutely
safe.
- Before starting to cook, wait until a layer of ashes covers
the charcoal.
- Do not try to save time by putting your food on a barbecue
that is not ready. The barbecue should be heated and the
coals glowing for at least 30 minutes before starting to
cook.
- Use a spatula and tongs rather than a fork. Piercing the
food is not recommended. This makes juices run out and
the food will lose taste and dry out.
- A light application of oil will enable you to brown food
evenly and prevent it from sticking to the cooking grill.
Always apply oil directly on food (using a brush) and not
on the cooking grid.
- To obtain a stronger smoked flavor, add wood chips or
fresh herbs which have been moistened (rosemary,
thyme, laurel). Place the wood chips or moistened herbs
directly on the charcoal before starting to cook.
- During use, you can hook the lid at the rear of the bowl on
the hook designed for this purpose.
D - USAGE
1) Remove the lid and open the Air Control System (3)
before preparing the fire. To ensure proper air circulation,
remove accumulated ashes from the bottom of the
barbecue. Charcoal needs oxygen to burn. It is therefore
important to make sure that the vents of the Air Control
System (3) are not blocked.
2) You can remove residual ashes from the ash tray by
lifting one side of the charcoal grate (2) (Bonesco SC
and Bonesco LC).
3a) Bonesco SC and Bonesco LC models
Take out the charcoal grate (2). Put a starter (compliant
with the EN1860-3 standard) in the rectangular area
designed to hold it on the bottom of the firebox (see figure
below – a, then crush two or three sheets of paper to fill
the space between the cross and the charcoal grate – b.
Put the charcoal grate back in place (2) – c.
Put charcoal meeting the EN1860-2 standard in the
firebox (5) on the charcoal grate (2). Do not overfill the
firebox:
• 1 kg of charcoal is sufficient for the Bonesco SC and the
Bonesco Junior .
• 1.5 kg is sufficient for the Bonesco LC .
Piling the charcoal in the center of the firebox will facilitate
lighting your barbecue. we recommend filling the firebox not
more than 50% of its capacity.
Remove the ash tray (7). Light the paper and the starter with
a match using the passageway that is opened by removing
the ash tray.
