- Push an adjustment button down and turn it anti-
clockwise until it is in the full flow position (
)
.
- When the burner has been lighted, slide the drippings tray
into its slot and push it all the way back until it stops.
Once the burner is lit, there are two ways of lighting
another burner:
r Firstly, repeat the lighting operation described above;
r Secondly, light the burner to the right or left of the first
burner lit, then the other burners in turn by turning the
adjustment button to the full flow position (
) .
j) EXTINGUISHING THE BARBECUE
Return the control knobs to the "off" position ( l ), then close
the cylinder valve.
k) LIGHTING THE SIDE STOVE
(if applicable to your model)
The stove may operate independently or in conjunction
with the grill burner.
Lighting :
- open the gas cylinder valve.
- check that there is no gas leak between the gas cylinder
and the stove.
- check the condition of the hose connecting the grill
burner to the stove. Should it present cracks, call our
After Sales Service to have it replaced.
- open the valve of the stove (towards the +) and press the
igniter button ( ) until you hear the click. Repeat three
or four times if necessary. Should the stove fail to light,
present a match to the edge of the burner.
- adjust the size of the flame to the dimensions of the
container you are using by opening the valve to various
extents. Do not use a container smaller than 12 cm or
larger than 26 cm.
l) TURNING OFF THE SIDE STOVE
(if applicable to your model)
Close the stove valve (towards the -) and the valve of the
gas cylinder if the grill burner is not in use.
m) REPLACING THE GAS CYLINDER
- Always work in a well ventilated area and never in the
presence of a flame, spark or heat source.
- Return the control knobs in the "off" position ( l ) then close
the cylinder valve.
- Remove the regulator, check that the sealing joint is in
good condition.
- Put the full cylinder in place, refit the regulator, taking care
not to apply stress to the hose. Check for gas leaks .
n) OPERATION
When used for the first time, heat up the barbecue
(depending on model: close the hinged lid/do not reposition
the protective cover) with its burners in full on position (
),
for approximately 30 minutes in order to eliminate any odors
resulting from the paint on the new parts.
During normal operation, preheat the barbecue (depending
on model: close the hinged lid/do not reposition the
protective cover) approximately 15 to 20 minutes prior to
cooking in order to bring the cast-iron grilles to the proper
temperature.
Cooking speed can be regulated via the adjustment buttons:
between the full flow position (
) and medium flow position
( ).
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:
If one or several burners go out whilst you are using the
barbecue, move the adjustment buttons to OFF
immediately (
l ) . Wait five minutes to allow the unburned
gas to escape. Only carry out the lighting steps after this
time.
o) CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Never modify the barbecue: any modification may prove
dangerous.
- In order to maintain your barbecue in perfect operating
condition, it is recommended to clean it periodically (after
4 or 5 uses).
- Wait until the barbecue has cooled down before cleaning.
- Close the gas cylinder.
- The grill burner must be cleaned and checked every 3
months. Remove the entire burner and check that no dirt or
spider webs block the venturi tube openings, which may
cause the burner to be less efficient or cause a dangerous
gas fire outside the burner.
- Clean the top of the burner, as well as the sides and base,
using a moist sponge (water with washing up liquid). If
necessary, use a damp steel brush.
- Check that all burner outlets are clear and let dry before
using again. If necessary, use a wire brush to unclog the
burner outlets.
- Refit the grill burner correctly.
- Clean the orifices on the Venturi jet (see diagram below) or
the burner if necessary.
N.B.: Frequent cleaning of the burner maintains it in good
condition for many uses and prevents premature oxidation,
notably due to acid residue from cooking. Oxidation of the
grill burner is, however, normal.
Base walls, control panel
Clean these elements from time to time using a sponge with
washing up liquid. Do not use abrasive products.
Cooking plates
Let them cool down before cleaning. Use Campingaz ®
Cleaner Spray BBQ cleaner and barbecue brushes.
Before cleaning and drying the cooking grills, rub them
lightly with grease to protect them from corrosion and to
prevent them rusting and sticking to the food.
Campingaz® recommends applying a thin coat of vegetable
oil to the cooking grills with kitchen towel.
Caution: do not put them in the dishwasher or let them dry
without wiping them.
Wood
The wood on our barbecues is finished with a lazure to
protect it and maintain its natural appearance. It is however
a living material which remains sensitive to exposure to the
rays of the sun, humidity and changes in temperature.
To keep your barbecue looking as new, we recommend you
cover it with a Campingaz protective cover available as an
accessory. Important: wait for the barbecue to cool down
