Damage caused as a result of a failure to follow the instructions (improper assembly, misuse, improper maintenance, etc.) is not covered by the warranty.

3.2. Exercise caution when handling gas
Working with gas is safe provided that you take some precautions:

• Always store gas bottles outside of the home in a well-ventilated space. Ensure that the bottles are not exposed to high temperatures or to direct sunlight.
• Never store your gas bottle or spare gas bottle in the cabinet of your appliance.
• Never store your spare gas bottle in the vicinity of a gas appliance that is in use.
• After use, always close the gas supply at the gas bottle.
• Never smoke in the vicinity of a gas-operated appliance that is in use, nor in the vicinity of a gas bottle, empty or full.

If you smell gas, close the gas supply immediately, extinguish all flames, and open the lid on the appliance. If the smell persists, call your gas supplier or the fire service.

3.3. Choosing a suitable location
Only use the appliance outside. If you use the appliance inside, even in a garage or shed, you risk carbon monoxide poisoning.
Take into account the following when choosing a location:
Place the appliance at least three meters from a building in an open, well- ventilated location.

• Ensure that there is always plenty of unobstructed air to the burners and to the ventilation openings in the cabinet.
• Do not place the barbecue below an overhanging structure (veranda, shelter, etc. ) or under foliage.
• Place the appliance on a sturdy and stable surface. Do not place the appliance on a moving vehicle (boat, trailer, etc. ).

3.4. Safety instructions

• Only use outside.
• Read the instructions before use.
• Do not move the appliance during use.
• Never leave the appliance unsupervised during use, particularly if there are children or animals around.
• WARNING: Touchable parts can become very hot. Keep young children away.
• Use appropriate protection when you need to touch hot parts (lid, grill, etc.).
• Keep the appliance away from flammable materials when in use.
• Keep flammable materials, flammable liquids, and, soluble objects a safe distance from the appliance when in use.
• Do not use wood, charcoal, lava stone, or ceramic briquettes in a gas appliance.
• Do not use the appliance when under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

RECURRENT CONCEPTS

This part of the guide lists the definitions of some less familiar concepts. These concepts are used when discussing various topics throughout the guide.

4.1. Venturi tubes
The venturi tubes are the small tubes attached at the inlet to the burners. There is an opening on the side of the venturi tubes. This is visible on the main burners and, if present, on the side burner:

The gas passes through the venturi tubes on its way to the burners. The gas is mixed with air (and, therefore, oxygen) through the openings in the sides. This is essential for proper combustion in the burners: proper combustion requires the correct gas/oxygen mix to deliver nice flames.

4.2. Burner covers
The burner covers are covers placed on top of the burners on the appliance. They protect the burners from dripping fat. The openings on the sides of the covers distribute the heat over the grill so that it is heated up more quickly and more evenly.

4.3. Enamel
Some parts of the appliance are covered in a layer of melted glass, also known as enamel. This enamel protects the underlying metal from corrosion. Enamel is a high-quality material: it is corrosion-resistant, it does not degrade under the influence of high temperatures, and it is very easy to maintain.
Since the enamel is less flexible than the metal to which it is applied, pieces of enamel may break off when the appliance is used incorrectly. To avoid this problem, you must be careful when assembling enameled parts and you must always maintain the enamel according to the instructions in this guide.

4.4. Flare-ups
Flare-ups are sudden flames that spark from the bowl when you are grilling. They are usually caused by dripping fat or marinade.

ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE

5.1. Safety instructions

• Do not make modifications to the appliance when assembling. Parts pre-fitted and/or sealed by the manufacturer must not be modified as doing so presents a hazard.
• Always follow the assembly instructions carefully.
• The user is responsible for the correct assembly of the appliance. Damage caused by the incorrect assembly is not covered by the warranty.

5.2. To assemble the appliance
You require a Phillips screwdriver, a flat-head screwdriver, and an AA battery (for the electrical igniter). The appliance is not supplied with batteries.

1. Place the appliance on a flat and stable surface.
2. Assemble the appliance as shown in the assembly drawings.

You can find the assembly drawings in the second part of this guide after the exploded drawing of your appliance (see page 91).
Take care when assembling enameled parts. The tool and the screws may damage the enamel. Use the fiber washers supplied to protect the enamel around the screws.
The blister packaging may contain more screws than needed, in which case there will be some screws left over after assembly.
The package contains an emergency kit with spare parts (screws, bolts, fiber washers, etc.) that you can use if a part gets lost or breaks.

FITTING THE APPLIANCE WITH GAS

6.1. Which gas bottle, hose, and regulator?
To fit the appliance with gas, you will first need to purchase a gas bottle, a hose, and a pressure regulator. The table below indicates which gas bottle, hose, and regulator you should use. In Belgium (BE), for example, you must use a propane bottle with a hose and regulator for 37 bar, or a butane bottle with a hose and regulator for 28-30 bar.

Country| Gas bottle, hose,
and regulator|
---|---|---
LU – NL – DK – FI – SE – CY – CZ – EE – LT – MT – SK SI – BG – IS – NO – TR – HR – RO – IT – HU – LV| 2830 bar| Propane, butane, or a mixture
of the two
BE – FR – IT – LU – IE – GR – PT – ES – CY – CZ – LT – SK – CH – SI – LV| 2830 bar| butane|
37  mbar| propane|

The appliance has been designed to be used with butane or propane bottles of 4.5 to 15 kg and equipped with an appropriate reducer valve. We recommend using propane with the appliance. Propane delivers high-quality combustion and is less sensitive to frost. The height of the gas bottle must not exceed 70 cm, irrespective of the width or diameter D or the bottle.
Always purchase your pressure regulator and gas bottle together. Not all regulators fit all gas bottles.
Use only a gas hose and regulator with homologation for the country of use.

6.2. Safety instructions

• Never connect the gas hose directly to the appliance.
  Always fit a pressure regulator to the gas bottle first.

• Never modify pre-assembled or sealed parts of the gas bottle, hose, or pressure regulator.

• Ensure as short a hose as possible (max. 1.5 m) to prevent it from being dragged over the ground.
  – Never deform or fold/crease the gas hose. Check that the hose is neither stretched nor twisted. Ensure that the hose does not come into contact with parts that could become hot.
  – The hose must be replaced if it becomes damaged or shows signs of tearing, if national regulations stipulate this or in accordance with their applicability.

• The gas bottle must always be upright.

• Never open the gas supply

• Check for gas leaks whenever you make modifications to gas connections. See “7. Checking for gas leaks”.

6.3. Connect the hose to the appliance France:
The appliance can be used with 2 types of gas hose.

• Gas hose to be attached to the hose tails on the appliance and on the pressure regulator, secured with hose clamps (in accordance with XP D 36-110).
  Recommended length 1.25 m

• Gas hose (in accordance with XP D 36-112) equipped with a nut G ½ for direct connection to the appliance and a nut M20 x 1.5 m for direct connection to the pressure regulator, recommended length 1.25 m.

Other countries:
A flexible hose suitable for butane or propane gas is recommended. The hose must not be longer than 1.50 m. To be able to connect the gas hose to the appliance, fit a coupling to the gas tube on the appliance.
The appliance is supplied with two different couplings intended for use in different countries.

BE, CH, CZ, DK, ES,
FI, GB, IE, IT, PT, SI| Coupling A
FR| Coupling B

If your country is not listed in the table, use the coupling that meets the standards that apply in your country.

6.3.1 Coupling A
You require a 19 mm wrench and a Phillips screwdriver.

1. Screw the coupling onto the gas tube on the appliance (A) and tighten it with a 19 mm wrench (B).
   

2. Slide the hose over the coupling (C) and tighten the clamping ring with a Phillips screwdriver (D).

6.3.2 Coupling B
You require a 22 mm wrench and an adjustable wrench.

1. Screw the coupling onto the gas tube on the appliance (A) and tighten it with a 22 mm wrench (B).
   

2. Screw the gas hose onto the coupling (C) and secure it with two wrenches. Hold the coupling firm with one 22 mm wrench and tighten the hose with an adjustable wrench.

6.4. Connect the hose and gas bottle to the regulator.
You will require a Phillips screwdriver and/or an adjustable wrench depending on the type of regulator that you are using.

1. Connect the hose to the pressure regulator. Proceed as follows:
   • If the hose is fitted with a clamping ring, slide the hose over the regulator and tighten the clamping ring with a Phillip screwdriver (A).
   • If the hose is fitted with a nut, screw the hose onto the regulator and tighten the nut with an adjustable wrench (B).
   

2. Connect the pressure regulator to the gas bottle. Proceed as follows:
   • If the regulator is fitted with a nut, screw the regulator onto the gas bottle clockwise and tighten the nut with an adjustable wrench (C).

• If the regulator has a thread, screw the regulator onto the gas bottle counter-clockwise (D)
  Only use regulators that satisfy EN 16129.

6.5. Replace the gas bottle

1. Close the gas supply and set all control knobs to OFF.
2. Disconnect the empty gas bottle and connect the full gas bottle.
3. Check the gas bottle, the hose, and all gas connections for leaks. See “7. Checking for gas leaks”.
   Note that when replacing the gas bottle, you must always be well away from sources of ignition.

CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

7.1. Why check for gas leaks?
Propane and butane are both heavier than air. This means that these gases will not drift away if they leak from the appliance.
On still days, leaked gas can accumulate in and around the appliance and subsequently ignite and explode.

7.2. When to check for gas leaks?

• Before the first use or after a lengthy period of use.
  Check that there are no gas leaks if the appliance has been assembled by the supplier.

• You should do this whenever you replace a gas part.

• At least once annually, ideally at the start of the season.

7.3. Safety instructions

• Place the appliance outside in a well-ventilated location. Ensure that there are no flames or heat sources in the vicinity of the appliance.
• Never use a lighter or matches to check for gas leaks.
• Do not smoke or ignite the burners when checking for gas leaks.

7.4. What materials do I need?
To check for gas leaks, you require the following:

• A test fluid. You can use a ready-to-use leak spray or a mixture of water (50%) and dish soap (50%).
• The leak testing tool is supplied with the appliance. This fluid is used to suction up the test fluid and apply it to the gas parts or gas connections that you want to check.

7.5. Check for gas leaks
You can check for gas leaks by applying a test fluid to all gas parts and gas connections. If there are large bubbles on a specific part or connection, there is a gas leak.

Proceed as follows to check for gas leaks:

1. Place the appliance outside.

2. Take the leak testing tool and test fluid (leak spray or water/dish soap mix)

3. Open the lid and set all control knobs to OFF.

4. Open the gas supply slightly. To do this, turn the valve on the gas supply just once.

5. Suction a small amount of test fluid with the leak testing tool and apply it to the zone that you want to check.
   The following parts must be checked:
   • The weld seams on the gas bottle (A)
   • The hose (B)
   • The connections between the gas bottle and the pressure regulator and between the pressure regulator and the hose (C)
   • The connection between the hose and the appliance (D)
   The pressure regulator and coupling on your appliance may differ from the examples in the figures.

6. Proceed as follows:
   • If you detect a leak, follow the instructions in “7.6 In the event of a gas leak”.
   • If there are no leaks, close the gas supply, rinse all parts thoroughly with water, and dry them well.

7.6. In the event of a gas leak

1. Close the gas supply and proceed as follows:
   • If you have detected a leak on one of the connections, firmly tighten the connection in question.
   • If you have detected a leak on the gas bottle or hose, replace the gas bottle or hose.
   2. Check the connection or part where you detected the leak again.
   3. If the leak has not been fixed, you must contact a Barbecook dealer. You must not start using the appliance until the leak has been fixed.
   Consult www.barbecook.com or a list of Barbecook dealers near you.

USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

10.1. Pre-heating the appliance
Pre-heating the appliance ensures that the grill is hot enough when you come to place food on it. Proceed as follows:

1. Ignite the burner(s) and set the control knob(s) to HIGH.
2. Close the lid and allow the appliance to burn for ten minutes.
3. After ten minutes, open the lid and place the food on the grill.
4. If you want less heat, set the control knob(s) to a lower heat.

10.2. Preventing food from sticking
To prevent your food from sticking to the grill:

• Oil the food lightly with a brush before placing it on the grill. You can also oil the grill itself.
• Pre-heat the appliance. The hotter the grill when you place the food on it, the less the chance of the food sticking.
• Do not turn the food too quickly. First, allow it to heat up thoroughly.

10.3. Grilling directly and indirectly
You can grill directly or indirectly depending on the type of food that you want to cook and the way in which you want to do it:

meat and vegetables
Indirectly| Place the food next to an ignited burner, choose 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 the heating is as even as possible, some zones will be warmer than others. You can use these heat zones for perfect grilling:

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 medium or low heat.

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 tube 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.

11.4. Maintaining enamel, stainless steel, and powder-coated parts
The appliance comprises enamel, stainless steel, and powder-coated parts. Each material must be maintained differently:

hard surfaces.
• Avoid contact with cold liquids while the appliance is still hot.
• You can use metal sponges and abrasive cleaning products.
Stainless steel|    • Do not use aggressive, abrasive, or metal cleaning agents.
• Use mild cleaning agents and leave to work on the steel.
• Use a soft sponge or cloth.
• After cleaning, rinse the appliance thoroughly and allow the appliance to dry completely before storing.
Powder coated| • Do not use sharp objects. Use mild cleaning products and a soft sponge or cloth.
• After cleaning, rinse the appliance thoroughly and allow the appliance to dry completely before storing.

To prevent rust formation on stainless steel parts, it is best to avoid contact with chlorine, salt, and iron.
Damage that arises as a result of not following these instructions is considered poor maintenance and is not covered by the warranty.
