2 ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual is composed of two parts. The first part is the one you are reading now. It includes instructions for the assembly, use and maintenance of your appliance. The second part starts on page 97. It includes all kinds of illustrations:

• Exploded views, parts lists and assembly drawings of the appliances described in this manual.
• Illustrations that support the most important instructions of the first part of the manual.

If there is an illustration available for a particular instruction, you find a reference to that illustration in the instruction. These references are preceded by a pencil icon, like the one you see here on the left.

3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the instructions before using the appliance. Always follow the instructions carefully. Assembling or using the appliance differently can cause fires and material damage.

Damages caused by not following the instructions (improper assembly, misuse, inadequate maintenance...) are not covered by the warranty.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• WARNING! The appliance will become very hot, do not move it during operation.
• Use appropriate protection when handling hot parts.
• Keep flammable materials, flammable liquids and dissoluble objects away from an appliance in use.
  WARNING! Keep children and pets away!
• Keep a bucket of water or sand at hand when using the appliance, especially on very hot days and in dry areas.
  WARNING! Do not use indoors.

Use the appliance outdoors only. Using it indoors, even in a garage or shed, can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

When selecting an outdoor location, always:

• Place the appliance at least three meters away from any building, in an open and well-ventilated area.
• Make sure the appliance is not under an overhanging structure (a porch, a shelter...) or under foliage.
• The barbecue has to be installed on a secure level base prior to use. Never put it on a moving vehicle (a boat, a trailer...).

4 RECURRENT CONCEPTS

This part includes definitions of some less familiar concepts. These concepts are used in several topics of the manual.

4.1 Enamel

Some parts of the appliance are covered in a layer of melted glass, called enamel. This enamel protects the underlying metal from corrosion. Enamel is a high-quality material: it is resistant to rust, does not fade under the influence of high temperatures and is very easy to maintain.

Because the enamel is less flexible than the metal which it covers, pieces of enamel can chip off when you handle the appliance incorrectly. To avoid problems, be careful when assembling enamelled parts and always maintain the enamel as described further in this manual.

5 ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE

5.1 Safety instructions

• Do not modify the appliance when assembling it. It is very dangerous and not allowed to alter parts of the appliance.
  Always follow the assembly instructions carefully.
• The user is responsible for the correct assembly of the appliance. Damages caused by improper assembly are not covered by the warranty.

5.2 To assemble the appliance

Assemble the appliance as shown on the assembly drawings.

You find the assembly drawings in the second part of this manual, after the exploded view of your appliance.

You do not need any special tools to assemble the appliance. The tool for tightening the screws is supplied with the appliance.

5.3 Before each use

Put the appliance on a stable, level and clean base and make sure that the bottom of the barrel doesn't make contact with the ground. The rubber feet that come with the barbecue have an isolating function.

6 GETTING THE APPLIANCE READY FOR USE

You need charcoal, firelighters (complying with EN 1860-3) and a long match.

6.1 Which charcoal should I use?

Always light your appliance with traditional charcoal, never with briquettes. Once the appliance is lit, you can add briquettes. Use good quality charcoal to light the appliance, preferably complying with EN 1860-2. Good quality charcoal is composed of large, shiny bricks and does not give off much dust.

Close your bag of charcoal properly before storing it. Always store it in a dry place, do not store it in a cellar.

Max 50% of the bowl can be filled with charcoal. Overfilling the bowl can seriously damage your barbecue due to extensive heat.

6.2 Lighting the appliance

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 2 and 3, on page 100.

1 Put some firefighters on the bottom of the bowl (Fig. 2a). Always use firefighters that comply with EN 1860-3.
2 Cover the firefighters with charcoal (Fig. 2b). Tips:

• Do not use too much charcoal. The bowl should only be filled one third.
  Make sure you can still reach the firelighters.
• Use small pieces of charcoal to light the appliance. You can add larger bricks afterwards.

3 Take a long match and light the firelighters (Fig. 2c).

The barbecue shall be heated up and the fuel kept red for at least 30 minutes prior to first cooking. This removes any remaining manufacturing greases from the appliance.

Do not put the grill on the appliance yet. An empty grill can deform when held in the heat for too long.

WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting! Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3!

4 Do not cook before the fuel (charcoal) has a coating of ash. Normally, this takes about 15 minutes (Fig. 2d)
5 Put the grill on the appliance, with its supports on the hooks of the charcoal bowl. Always put the grill in this position when you use the appliance.

When you want to store the appliance, put the supports of the grill next to the hooks of the charcoal bowl (Fig. 3, on page 100). When the grill is in this lower position, you can put the cover on the appliance. See also "8.3 Storing the appliance".

You can also light the charcoal in the Barbecook charcoal starter (223.3002.170). When the charcoal is ready, just pour it from the charcoal starter into the bowl of the appliance (Fig. 1, page 100).

7 USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

7.1 Preventing food from burning

To prevent your food from burning, never start grilling when there still are flames in the bowl. Wait until the charcoal is covered with a thin layer of white ashes.

7.2 Preventing food from sticking

To prevent your food from sticking to the grill:

• Oil the food lightly with a brush before you put it on the grill. You can also oil the grill itself.
• Do not turn the food too quickly. Let it catch some heat first.

7.3 Avoiding 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. During grilling, some flare-ups are normal. Too many flare-ups, however, increase the temperature in the bowl and can ignite accumulated fat. To avoid flare-ups:

• Make sure the bowl is clean before you start grilling. We recommend cleaning the bowl after each use.
• Remove excess fat and marinade from the meat. You can also use a grill pan for fatty and/or marinated meat.

8 MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

8.1 Cleaning the bowl

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 4, on page 101.

We recommend cleaning the bowl after each use. With the ash container, this is done in no time. Proceed as follows:

1 Let the appliance cool down completely and remove the grill.
2 Remove the bottom grid from the bowl and brush the ashes into the ash container (Fig. 4a).
3 Lift the ash container from the bowl (Fig. 4b) and pour the ashes into a bucket (Fig. 4c).
4 Put the ash container and the bottom grid back in the bowl.
5 Put the grill back on the appliance (in the lowest position) and put the cover on the appliance (Fig. 4d).

8.2 Cleaning the grill

We recommend cleaning the grill after each use, with a Barbecook cleaner.

You can also clean the grill with a soft detergent or with sodium bicarbonate. Never use oven cleaners on the grill.

8.3 Storing the appliance

Store the appliance after each use. Proceed as follows:

1 Clean the bowl and the grill. See "8.1 Cleaning the bowl" and "8.2 Cleaning the grill"
2 Put the grill back on the appliance, in the lowest position.
3 Put the cover on the appliance.
4 Store the appliance in a dry place (indoors, under a shelter...).

8.4 Limiting the formation of rust

The upper ring of the barrel has the tendency to rust a little. To slow this process down, you can oil the ring with sun flower oil.

The rust does not harm the barrel. If you like a sturdy look, do not bother oiling the barrel.

8.5 Maintaining enamel, stainless steel, chrome and powder coated parts

The appliance is composed of enamelled, stainless steel, chromed and powder coated parts. Each material has to be maintained differently:

Material	How to maintain this material
Enamel	·Do not use sharp objects and do not knock against a hard surface. ·Avoid contact with cold liquids while still hot. ·You can use metal sponges and abrasive detergents.
Stainless steel and chrome	·Do not use aggressive, abrasive or metal detergents. ·Use soft detergents and let them act on the steel. ·Use a soft sponge or cloth. ·Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry well before storing.
Powder coated	·Do not use sharp objects. Use soft detergents and a soft sponge or cloth. ·Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry well before storing.

Damages caused by not following these instructions are regarded as inadequate maintenance and are not covered by the warranty.

Below the exploded view of your appliance (second part of the manual), you find a list with all parts of which the appliance is composed. This list includes a symbol that specifies the material of each part, so you can use it to check how you have to maintain a particular part. The parts list uses the following symbols:

Symbol	Material
●	Enamel
▲	Chrome
■	Stainless steel
★	Powder coated

8.6 Ordering spare parts

Parts that are directly exposed to fire or intense heat have to be replaced from time to time. To order a spare part:
