IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never pour oil or flammable liquids into the
collector trays.
• Never use the Delecto for frying food in oil.
• When pouring liquid into the collector trays, use
the right amount to ensure it does not overflow.
Excess liquid may run into the burner and block
the holes underneath.
• Always cook with the grates closed unless you
are cooking with a pan or other container.
• Always keep the electronic fan control at the
lowest setting when the grates are partly open
and no pots or pans are on the barbecue or when
adding wood.
• If fat were to catch fire in the collector trays,
immediately shut off the fan and close the lid.
Do not attempt to remove the grate or the food
as severe burns could ensue or a fire could be
started through burning fat drips.

Grilling
Because the Delecto cooks so efficiently, it sears foods thoroughly and seals in all
the delicious juices, with succulent results. Meat fish and vegetables can be placed
directly on the grates and will cook easily in the wood-fire heat.
Flavouring food with wine, beer or other liquids
The Woodflame Delecto barbecue has a collector tray under each grate. These trays
serve a dual purpose: when the Delecto is ready for cooking, you can pour a little
water, wine, beer or stock through the grate into each tray, to add subtle flavours
to the food. Never use liquids with higher than 25% alcohol content as this could
catch fire. The collector trays also eliminate flare-ups from fat melting and dripping
into the fire.
Smoking food with different wood essences
To smoke the food, turn the fan off for the last few minutes of cooking and lower
the lid to the semi-closed position, allowing the food to absorb the delicious flavour
of wood smoke.
TIP
To give special flavour to your food, turn fan off at end of cooking and add
damp wood chips (apple, hickory, etc.) in the burner, let smolder for a few
minutes until desired taste is reached.

Frying and boiling
The Delecto is so efficient that you can do all sorts of things with it. The range of
fan settings allows you to fry eggs, boil water in minutes, or simmer on low heat.
Before you try these types of cooking, make sure the Delecto is absolutely stable.
Then separate the grates in the middle so the flame can reach the underside of the
pot or pan. Place the Dutch oven, sauce pan, wok or skillet on the grates and adjust
the fan to the desired settings.
LID POSITIONS
CLOSED
Never close the lid completely during cooking:
the intense heat will burn your food and may
damage the appliance.
The lid should only be closed during transportation
and storage of the Delecto barbecue.
SEMI-CLOSED
For cooking at low heat or smoking food at the end
of the cooking period, place the lid in semi-closed
position. This position is also appropriate for short
high temperature cleaning (see
Cleaning
section).
WIND-GUARD POSITION
The lid should be in this position for lighting, and
for cooking at medium or high heat.
