Method Description Use
Directly Place the food
immediately above an
ignited burner, choose
a high heat with the
control knob for the
burner, and leave the
lid open.
Searing meat and
vegetables
Indirectly Place the food next
to an ignited burner,
choose a medium/low
heat with the control
knob, and close the lid.
Pre-cook meat
or further cook
seared meat.
If grilling with the lid closed, you must keep an eye on the
lid thermometer to ensure that the appliance does not
become too hot. See "10.5 Checking the temperature".
10.4. Grilling with the lid closed
There are a number of benefits of grilling with the lid closed.
• The temperature of the grill will be higher and remain more
consistent.
• The food will need to cook for less time and will remain
more succulent.
• There will be fewer flare-ups and gas consumption will be
lower.
If grilling with the lid closed, you must keep an eye on the
lid thermometer to ensure that the appliance does not
become too hot. See "10.5 Checking the temperature".
10.5. Checking the temperature
The appliance is equipped with powerful burners, which means
that you will be able to heat them up quickly, and can maintain
a constant temperature. However, if you grill with the lid closed,
you will need to ensure that the appliance does not become too
hot. You should check the lid thermometer regularly and take
the following guidelines into account:
• A normal operating temperature is around 210°C. If the
temperature is higher, there is a risk of dripping and caked
fat igniting.
• The temperature must not exceed 300°C for more than five
minutes. If it does, there is a risk of the appliance being
damaged and becoming deformed.
If the appliance becomes too hot, allow it to cool by
opening the lid, and choose a lower heat for the burners.
10.6. Using the heat zones
Once all burners have been ignited, the burner covers
distribute the heat as evenly as possible over the grill. Even
though heating is as even as possible, some zones will be
warmer than others. You can use these heat zones for perfect
grilling:
Zone Warm Use for...
For Warm Grilling delicate foods
(shrimps, fish, etc.)
Middle Warmer Preparing foods that need to cook for
longer (sausages, chicken, etc.)
Rear Warmest Searing meat and vegetables
You can also create heat zones by playing with the power
of the burners. For example, you could set a burner at a
lower level and use the zone above the burner for delicate
foods or foods that need to cook for longer.
10.7. Preventing flare-ups
Flare-ups may occur when grilling. This is a normal occurrence.
However, an excess of flare-ups increases the temperature of
the appliance and can ignite accumulated fat.
Preventing flare-ups:
• Ensure that the bowl is clean before you start grilling. See
"11.2 Cleaning the bowl".
• Check that the fat drain opening is clear at regular intervals
and/or that the fat drip drawer is not full.
• When grilling, cut excess fat away from meat, close the lid,
and set the burners to a medium or low heat.
11. MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE
11.1. Cleaning the grill
We recommend cleaning the grill after each use with a
Barbecook accessory.
You can also clean the grill with a mild cleaning agent or
sodium bicarbonate. Never use oven cleaners to clean the
grill.
11.2. Cleaning the bowl
We recommend cleaning the bowl after each use with a
Barbecook accessory, metal sponge, and abrasive cleaning
agent. Use these in the same way as for the grill.
Do not use any sharp objects and do not knock the
appliance against hard surfaces.
Avoid contact with cold liquids while the appliance is still
hot.
11.3. Cleaning the burners and venturi tubes
11.3.1. Why clean the burners and venturi tubes?
Spiders and insects can make webs and nests in the burners
and venturi tubes, blocking the gas supply to the burners.
Consequence:
• You cannot ignite the burners. If you do manage to ignite
the burners, they will only produce smoky, yellow flames.
• The gas can ignite outside of the venturi tubes level with the
control knobs. These flames are known as flashbacks and
can cause serious injury and material damage.
Damage as a result of blocked burners and venturi tubes
is considered poor maintenance and is not covered by the
warranty.
11.3.2. When to clean the burners and venturi tubes?
Clean the burners and venturi tubes on the appliance as
follows:
• Before first use after a lengthy period out of use.
• At least twice annually, once at the start of the season.
11.3.3. Cleaning the burners and venturi tubes
1. Remove the burners from the appliance as shown in the
figures. If you notice that a burner is damaged, you must
replace it.
2. Clean the burners and venturi tubes with a small brush of
self-made pipe cleaner (an opened paper clip, pipe brush,
etc.).
3. Put the burners back in place. Ensure that the venturi tubes
are situated above the openings of the gas valves.
