Congratulations on the purchase of a Barbecook®.

Please read this manual before using the barbecue!

Failure to follow all of the manufacturer's instructions could result in property damage. The user is responsible for the proper assembly, installation and use of his barbecue.

SAFETY INFORMATION

When using an electrical appliance, always comply with the following basic safety instructions. Always keep your instruction manual safe for further consultations.

• Do not submerge the device in water or other liquids.
• Do not connect the device to the same outlet with other devices. Connect the device to a suitable outlet.
• Check the connection cable for damage from time to time. Never operate the device when the cable is damaged. If the mains connection cable shows defects, let a qualified electrician exchange it.
• Do not move the induction hotplate during cooking or with hot cookware on top of it. Never move the device by pulling on the power cable.
• Never use the device when it does not function properly, shows damage or in case it was dropped.
• Do not leave the device unattended while in operation. Keep children and other incompetent persons away from the device: The stainless steel surface can become hot.
• Only qualified experts may perform repair and maintenance on the device, using original replacement and accessory parts.
• Do not touch the hot surface of the ceramic fi eld. Note: the induction hotplate does not heat up itself during cooking, but the temperature of the cookware is transferred to the hotplate!
• Do not place any (empty) metal kitchen utensils, cookware or pan lids, knives or other metal objects on the hotplate. These may heat up when the device is turned on.
• Do not heat up any unopened tins on the induction hotplate. A heated tin could explode; therefore remove the lid under all circumstances beforehand.

INSTALLATION

• This barbecue should only be used outdoors use under dry weather conditions. Store the electrical appliance indoors when not in use.
• Minimum clearance to adjacent combustible materials: 76 cm (30") from furthest protruding edge on side and rear of barbecue.

• The induction hotplate must be installed according all local regulations.
  • Always place the device on a stable and level surface.

• Never place the device on a fl ammable surface (e.g. table cloth, carpet, etc.).

• Always place the barbecue in a well-ventilated area. Do not block the ventilation slots of the device. Keep a minimum distance of 10 cm (5") to walls or other items.
• Do not place next to devices or objects, which react sensitively to magnetic fi elds (e.g. radios, TVs, etc.).
• Do not place next to open fi res, heaters or other sources of heat.
• Make sure that the connection cable is not damaged or squashed beneath the device. Make sure that the connection cable does not come into contact with sharp edges and/or hot surfaces.

INDUCTION HOTPLATE BASIC 1800

• Model: C18G (CE/EMC)
• Temperature range: 60 - 240 °C
• Power: 1800 W
- Connection: 230 V \~ 50 Hz

With induction hotplates, an electric voltage is applied on a conductor spool beneath the glass ceramic surface. This creates magnetic fi elds, which directly heat up the bottom of the cookware through a physical effect. This means saving time and energy, because contrary to common hotplates, the cookware is heated up, not the heating element and the glass ceramic surface.

GENERAL USE

• Plug the power plug into a suitable outlet.
• The control lamp of the On/Off switch lights up and an acoustic signal sounds. Now the device is in standby mode.
• Place suitable cookware (stainless steel, cast iron and enamelled fl at-bottom pans with a diameter of 12 - 26 cm) in the centre of the hotplate.
• Now press the On/Off switch to turn on the induction hotplate. The “Power” indicator light blinks and an acoustic signal sounds.
• Now press the "Function" button:

1 x the preset power level "5" is selected and the device is turned on (Power levels: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10).

With the selection buttons (+,-) you can change the power setting from 1 - 10.

2 x the preset temperature stage “120°C” are selected and the device is turned on (Temperature levels: 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180, 200, 220 and 240°C).

With the selection buttons (+,-) you can change the temperature setting from 60 - 240°C.

- Timer Function:

After the selection of the operating mode (power level or temperature level)

press the “Function” button until the corresponding indicator light blinks (power and timer or temperature and timer). The display shows the number “0”. With the selection buttons (+,-), you can now select the operating time in 1-minute intervals (up to max. 180 minutes). Then the display counts down the duration in minutes. Once the time has passed, an acoustic signal sounds and the device automatically goes into standby mode.

- Press the On/Off switch to shut down the device.

- Disconnect the mains plug from the outlet!

TIPS ON USING YOUR BARBECUE

Always barbecue using the "Temperature" function at level 180°C.

FIRST USE

We strongly recommend to clean the griddle and have it heat for 30 minutes on low temperature (120°C) without cooking any food.

PREPARATION

Heat the griddle of your barbecue for up to 10 minutes on low temperature ( 120^ C) before adding any food. While the griddle is designed to have different temperature zones, it is possible to heat the griddle evenly by moving it sideways.

COOKING

Always barbecue using the “Temperature” function at level 180^ C. Make use of a cooking and a warming zone by sliding the griddle sideways, instead of moving the food around.

Note: Food may stick if turned too soon after being placed on the griddle. Let food cook for a few minutes before turning it, so that it will have time to sear properly.

AFTER USE

Press the On/Off switch to turn off the induction hotplate. When the food is ready, you may also want to put the griddle with food on the table. By taking the griddle off the hotplate, the device automatically switches to standby mode. One minute later it will shut down.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the plug from the socket and allow the griddle and electrical appliance to cool down:

• Clean the griddle after each use. Do not use metal scourers or abrasive cleaners of any kind. Use sponge or plastic scourer only. Alternatively, you can wash the griddle with a special barbecook ^® cleaner, mild detergent or baking soda, but do not use a commercial oven cleaner.
• Always clean the induction hotplate to avoid discoloration or burned stains. Use a non-abrasive cleaning agent and a damp cloth. You can use a vacuum cleaner to suck up dirt from the ventilation openings.
• Clean the lid with the barbecook ^ stainless steel cleaner.

STORAGE

To get many years of service out of your barbecue: Always store the electrical appliance indoors when not in use. Cover the barbecue with the barbecook ^® cover if it is to be stored outdoors.
