Barbecook INFRÂCAREFULLY KEEP THIS MANUAL DURING THE ENTIRE SERVICE LIFE OF THE APPLIANCE! ASK FOR A COPY IF THE ORIGINAL MANUAL IS DAMAGED OR LOST! 1 – GENERAL DESCRIPTION Thanks to its direct and reflected irradiation, the Barbecook INFRA can heat an area of approxima- tely 20/25m

(Fig.1), naturally only in areas with sufficient ventilation such as terraces, pergolas, restaurants, bars and pubs that install the INFRA outdoors (in gardens, on pavements, etc). The INFRA is very easy to use, was built in conformity with the European safety standards and has been tested and approved and is checked by the Notified Body that is entrusted with most of the manufacturer’s certifications for products on gas. The INFR can be used in 3 versions: 1 – mobile type “NOMAD” (B: Fig.1 and Fig. A). The base plate is completely freestanding. This type runs on LPG (gas cylinder). 2 – fixed type “FIX” (A: Fig. 1 and Fig. A). The base plate is fixed to the pavement (the installation of this type must be left to qualified fitters). This type runs on propane/butane (gas containers or gas network) or on natural gas from the distribution network. 3 – fixed type “SPIDER” (C: Fig.1). This type can be fixed either to the wall by means of an angle bracket or directly to the ceiling (this type should always be installed by qualified fitters). This type runs on propane/butane (gas containers or gas network) or natural gas. IMPORTANT! KEEP THIS HEATER OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. IMPORTANT! Carefully follow all instructions and warnings of this manual. Non-observance may result in failures and/or danger. IMPORTANT! CERTAIN PARTS OF THIS GAS-RUN BARBECUE BECOME VERY HOT WHEN IN USE.

2.1 STEP-BY-STEP ASSEMBLY type “NOMAD” ( (MOBILE type with LPG cylinder):

IMPORTANT! Before assembling the appliance, check whether its parts are appropriate for use in com- bination with the gas type and the gas pressure foreseen and whether they meet the regulations in force. Before assembling the heater, remove the two protection plugs (1: Fig.3A and 5: Fig.5). Make sure you do not lose them (they serve as protection when the heater needs to be dismantled). IMPORTANT! In compliance with the regulations of the EC Certification, the “INFRA NOMAD CLAS- SIC” or “INFRA FIX CLASSIC” label shall be apposed in column C of the identification plate of the appliance at the inside of the clock that is mounted on the pole + burner (see drawing fig. A2). 1 – Put the "base plate + the structure" on the ground and remove the bell-shaped cylinder protec- tion (2: Fig.3A) in order to facilitate the next steps of the assembly. 2 – Fix the upper, “adjustable” part of the A-shaped structure (1: Fig.6A and 6B) to the “fixed” part of the base plate at the desired height (“low" gas cylinder, A: Fig.6 or "high" gas cylinder, B: Fig.6 and Fig. 13), using the 4 nuts and screws supplied together with the structure (2: Fig.6A and 6B).

3 - Put the gas cylinder on the base plate and fasten it by inserting the belt (supplied) in the ope-

nings of the A-shaped structure and by winding it around the handles of the gas cylinder (Fig.7).

Barbecook INFRÂ4 – Install the pressure regulator (NOT supplied, 2: Fig.8A and 6: Fig.5)) on the gas cylinder in accordance with the plates TECHNICAL DATA AND GAS TYPE on the appliance. If the heater runs on butane or propane. The CE label on the heater indicates which type of gas can be used (G30 = butane; G31 = propane; G20 and G25 = natural gas). The tables 1 and 1b con- tain the appropriate gas pressures for each gas type and also indicate which type of pressure regu- lator must be used in each country. 5 – Buy a connection and a rubber connecting hose. Make sure their type and material are in conformity with the regulations of the country in which the heater is installed. (in case the supplied items should not fit). To the threaded final part of the quickfit you can: IN CASE A (B1: Fig.8): (1/4” gas turning to the left, 5: Fig.8) install the rubber hose (2) equipped with the appropriate threaded hose connection (4) (NOT SUPPLIED) (this solution is valid in the fol- lowing countries: GERMANY, AUSTRIA, AND LUXEMBURG, IN CASE B (B2: Fig.8): (1/4” gas turning to the right,, 5: Fig 8) fit the hose-end fitting (4) you have bought ((in case the supplied item should not fit)NOT SUPPLIED) directly to the threaded connection of the final part of the quickfit. Then fit the rubber hose (2) using the appropriate clip (3). ) (maxi- mum length = 1,5 m). IMPORTANT! Always make sure the rubber hose and the connection you have bought, are in conformity with the regulations that are in force in the country in which the heater is installed. 6 – Fix the bottom part of the connecting hose to the pressure regulator on the gas cylinder (3: Fig.8A). Connect the other end of the hose to the "quickfit" (3: Fig.8B) (already installed on the A- shaped structure) (NOT supplied, B1 and B2: Fig.8). 7 – Before you make the connection, check, by means of Table 1, whether it is necessary to install the gas diaphragm (supplied) (1: Fig.8B) on the inlet connection of the "quickfit" (only necessary in AUSTRIA and GERMANY). 8 – Take hold of the "pole + burner" and insert them in the quickfit on the base by pushing them sli- ghtly downwards (1: Fig.9A) until you hear a click. NOTE: To dismantle the heater, turn the pole of the burner until the ignition knob (1: Fig.10A-1) coincides with the release button (2: Fig.10A-1) of the quickfit on the base. Release the pole by pushing the round button. Lift the pole using both hands. 9 – Slightly tilt the heater to the side equipped with the wheels, put the parabolic hood (2: Fig.11) on top of the burner (3: Fig.11) and fix it immediately by means of the round knob (1: Fig.11). Finally put the heater in its vertical position. IMPORTANT! The area, in which the heat generator will be used, must have a volume of at least 20

per kW nominal power and must be well ventilated. If you want to use the INFRA at its maximum power, you must consequently have a volume of approximately 150 m

for a INFRA Classic model, and a volume of 300 m

for a INFRA Performant model. IMPORTANT! ALWAYS insert the appropriate protection plug (5: Fig.5) before putting the quickfit of the "pole + burner" on the ground. This way you will avoid damaging the seals or obstructing the gas tubes. IMPORTANT! It is strictly forbidden to MAKE ALTERATIONS to the heater, except in the cases provi- ded for by the manufacturer (for example transformation gas).

Before assembling the appliance, check whether its parts are appropriate for use in combination with the gas type and the gas pressure foreseen and whether they meet the regula- tions in force. In case you should want to use the appliance with LPG 50 mbar (Germany, Austria and Luxemburg) you must install the diaphragm that fits the model (CLASSIC or PERFORMANT). The installation is represented in fig.8 and explained in the instructions you find in the set of diaphragms, on the type shield of the appliance and in tables 1a or 1c. Before assembling the heater, remove the two protection plugs (1: Fig.3A and 5: Fig.5). Make sure you do not lose them (they serve as protection when the heater needs to be dismantled). 1 – Put the "base plate + the structure" on the ground and remove the bell-shaped gas inlet tube protection (2: Fig.3A1) and indicate the position of the 6 fixing holes on the ground (1: Fig. 6C). 2 – Centre the “base plate + the structure” with respect to the gas inlet tube (2: Fig.6C). 3 – Fix the structure to the ground using the 6 fastening screws supplied together with the structure (1: Fig.6C). 4 – Check whether the gas type and gas pressure match the ones mentioned on the identification plate (see Table 1). If necessary, install the pressure regulator/reducer (NOT supplied, 2: Fig.8A). 5 – Buy a connection and a rubber connecting hose. Make sure their type and material are in conformity with the regulations of the country in which the heater is installed. The threaded final part of the quickfit (1/4” gas turning to the right) can: by means of a rigid or flexible metal tubing be connected directly to a connection as foreseen in: CASE A (B1: Fig.8): Install the rubber tubing (2) equipped with the appropriate threaded connection (4) (NOT SUPPLIED). CASE B (B2: Fig.8): Screw the bought tubing connection (4) (in case the supplied connection should not be appropriate) directly to the threaded final part of the quickfit (1/4” gas) and subsequently fit the rubber hose (2) (maximum length = 1,5 m) by means of an appropriate bracket (3). The treaded final part of the quickfit (1/4” gas turning to the right, 5: Fig.8) can, after having assembled the transition piece (1/4” gas turning to the right-turning to the left 6/Fig.8), be connec- ted to a flexible tubing as foreseen in: IMPORTANT: Always make sure the rubber hose and the connection you have bought, are in conformity with the regulations that are in force in the country in which the heater is installed. 6 – Fix the gas inlet tube to the bottom part of the "quickfit" (already installed on the A-shaped structure). 7 – Check, before making the connection, by means of Table 1 and/or (1: Fig.8B and 6: Fig.5) whether it is necessary to install the gas diaphragm on the supply opening of the "quick coupling" (only necessary for LPG in AUSTRIA , GERMANY and Luxemburg). 8 – Put the parabolic hood (2: Fig.11) on top of the burner (3: Fig.11) and fix it immediately by means of the round knob (1: Fig.11). 9 – Take hold of the "pole + burner" and insert them in the quickfit on the base by pushing them sli- ghtly downwards (1: Fig.9A1) until you hear a click. NOTE: To dismantle the heater, turn the pole of the burner until the ignition knob (1: Fig.10A-A1) coincides with the release button (2: Fig.10A-A1) of the quickfit on the base. Release the pole by pushing the round button. Lift the pole using both hands. IMPORTANT! The area, in which the heat generator will be used, must have a volume of at least 20

per kW nominal power and must be well ventilated. If you want to use the INFRA at its maximum power, you must consequently have a volume of approximately 150 m

for a INFRA Classic model, and a volume of 300 m

for a INFRA Performant model. IMPORTANT! ALWAYS insert the appropriate protection plug (5: Fig.5) before putting the quickfit of the "pole + burner" on the ground. This way you will avoid damaging the seals or obstructing the gas tubes. IMPOR TANT! It is strictly forbidden to MAKE ALTERATIONS to the heater, except in the cases pro- vided for by the manufacturer (for example transformation gas).

2.3 STEP-BY-STEP ASSEMBLY type “SPIDER” (fixed type for wall or ceiling-installation with LPG

gas cylinders or gas network) IMPORTANT! Before assembling the appliance, check whether its parts are appropriate for use in com- bination with the gas type and the gas pressure foreseen and whether they meet the regulations in force. In case you should want to use the appliance in combination with liquid petroleum gas. (LPG), you must install the diaphragm that fits the model (CLASSIC or PERFORMANT). The installa- tion is represented in fig.8 and explained in the instructions you find in the set of diaphragms, on the type shield of the appliance and in tables 1a or 1c. Remove the protective hood (4: Fig.9-A2) before the assembly. Make your you do not lose it (you will need it as protective hood when the appliance shall have to be disassembled again). 1 – Put the flange against the wall or the ceiling and mark the spots of the 4 fixing holes (1: Fig. 6D). Make the holes and insert the plugs. 2 – Fix the flange by means of the 4 supplied plugs (1: Fig.9-A2). Attention : check whether the wall or the ceiling are fit to hang the appliance on the wall or to suspend it from the ceiling with the supplied plugs. In case the wall or ceiling should not be strong enough to install the Spider, the wall or the ceiling must be reinforced. 3 – Put the parabolic hood on the burner group (3:Fig 9-A2) and immediately fix it with the 4 sup- plied screws. Install and fix, if foreseen, the elongation pieces of the bracket or the support, after having adapted them to the required length, if so desired. Use the supplied fixing elements for the installation (2:Fig. 9-A2). 4 – Install the parabolic hood (2: Fig.11) on the burner (3: Fig. 11) and immediately fix it with the supplied round knob (1: Fig.11). 5 – If the appliance is equipped to run on LPG 50 mbar, (1: Fig.8-B3) install the supplied diaph- ragm corresponding to the value indicated in table 1C (see Tab. 2, Fig. 16). 6 – Connect the inlet coupling piece to the gas supply tubing. The upper threaded final part (1/4” gas turning to the right, 5: Fig.8-B3) can be connected directly to a rigid metal tubing. 7 – Check whether the type of gas and/or the gas pressure correspond to the type and pressure mentioned on the label (see Tab. 1). If so desired, install the pressure regulator/pressure reducer (NOT supplied, 2: Fig.8A). 8 – Buy a connection and a connection hose that meet the type and material regulations in force in the country in which the appliance will be installed. IMPORTANT! The area, in which the heat generator will be used, must have a volume of at least 20

per kW nominal power and must be well ventilated. If you want to use the INFRA at its maximum power, you must consequently have a volume of approximately 150 m

for a INFRA Classic model, and a volume of 300 m

for a INFRA Performant model.

Barbecook INFRÂIMPORTANT! NEVER uncover the open end of the burner's connective piece and NEVER place it on the ground either. Protect it by means of the special protective hood (5: Fig.5) before making the connection. In that way, you avoid strange substances from penetrating into the appliance and from damaging the sealings or obstructing the gas sypply. IMPOR TANT! It is strictly forbidden to make ALTERATIONS to the appliance, except in the cases provided for by the manufacturer.

2.4 – Installing the battery for the electronic ignition of the pilot flame:

– Remove the ignition/adjustment knob (3: Fig.14). – Unscrew and lower the ring that supports the perforated bell (3: Fig.5) and that protects the bur- ner’s inner structure (1: Fig.14). – Carefully lower the perforated bell + the steel cylinder. – Find the battery holder (2: Fig.14). Unscrew the little cover and insert the 1.5V battery. Pay atten- tion to the poles (Fig.14). - Refit the cover and all the other parts you have previously removed.

3 – TURNING THE HEATER ON

IMPORTANT! Remove, the protective film, if any, of the plastic parts. IMPORTANT! Before putting the appliance into operation, check whether the pressure regulator and/or the pressure relieve valve and the type of gas used correspond to the data in tables 1a and 1b and to the data on the identification plate of the appliance and so comply with the regulations that are in force in the country in which the appliance is used. IMPORTANT! When using LPG cylinders, take into account the dimension of the cylinder recess (model NOMAD) (Fig.13). DO NOT USE the heater in areas with combustible and/or explosive dust, gas damps, liquid fuels and inflammable material. IMPORTANT! Repeated restarting: to avoid bursts of flame caused by gas accumulation, always wait 1 minute before restarting the heater. IMPORTANT! ALWAYS fit the parabolic hood and the bell-shaped cylinder models NOMAD and FIX) before starting the heater. DO NOT cover the parts of the burner that emit heat completely or partially. DO NOT cover the heater shortly after turning it off. Wait until it has cooled down. Put the heater on a flat surface to avoid it from turning over (slope < 10%). The surface must also be non-inflammable (wooden floor, linoleum, synthetic floor, etc). IMPORTANT! DO NOT use the heater in basements if it is pre-set to run on LPG. WHEN YOU TURN THE HEATER ON FOR THE FIRST TIME, AN OPERATION YOU SHOULD CARRY OUT OUTDOORS OR IN A WELL-VENTILATED ROOM, THE HEATER WILL EMIT FUMES FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IMPORTANT! Use soapy water or equivalent means to ensure that the tubings, the connections and the quickfit of the appliance (MODELS NOMAD and FIX) are LEAKPROOF. Also check the connec-

Barbecook INFRÂtions to the gas cylinder or the gas installation for leaks.

1 - Check whether the regulating knob is switched off (0: full point, Fig.15) and open the gas sup-

discharged and gas is supplied for the ignition of the pilot. Once the pilot burns, you must continue to press the button for approximately 1 to 2 minutes (Fig.15) to allow the thermocouple to heat and to keep the valve open. Now you only have to adjust the burner’s power (from MIN to MAX, Fig.15) according to your needs. NOTE: when you turn the heater on for the first time, the pilot has the tendency to go out because of the air in the tubes. You must wait a bit longer for the flame to stabilise! - If the pilot should accidentally go out, the incorporated safety device will automatically interrupt the gas supply. - If the flame goes out for want of gas, the gas flow is interrupted (for example when the gas cylin- der is empty). - In both cases, you must wait a few minutes before restarting the heater. Then repeat the operations mentioned in points 1 and 2. - Do not try to restart the heater time and again; if the heater does not work, you should check whether ALL operations have been carried out correctly. IMPORTANT! WAIT A FEW MINUTES BETWEEN EACH RESTART TO AVOID THE ACCUMULATION OF GAS AROUND THE BURNER AS THIS MAY CAUSE SUDDEN BURSTS OF FLAME! IMPORTANT! DO NOT TOUCH the burner or the hood while the burner is working or has only just been turned off as their temperature may cause burns. The heater can also be adjusted (MIN and MAX) when it is turned on. If the LPG-run heater is used outdoors and the temperature is below 2°C, we recommend the use of propane.

4 – TURNING THE HEATER OFF

1 – Turn the knob clockwise until it is on "0". 2 – Insert your hand in the lateral opening of the bell-shaped cylinder protection and turn off the gas tap. IMPORTANT! IF YOU WILL NOT USE THE APPLIANCE FOR SOME TIME, REMOVE THE IGNITION BATTERY FROM ITS HOLDER TO AVOID CAUSTIC SUBSTANCES FROM LEAKING OUT OF THE BAT- TERY THUS DAMAGING THE APPLIANCE.

Barbecook INFRÂ5 - MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT! Regularly check with soapy water or equivalent means to ensure that the tubings, the connections and the quickfit of the appliance (MODELS NOMAD and FIX) are LEAKPROOF. Also check the connections to the gas cylinder or the gas installation for leaks. Before carrying out maintenance operations, make sure the gas tap and/or the knob of the burner are turned off. - Maintenance comprises: - Cleaning the outside of the heater (use a soft cloth and neutral detergents. Do not put any deter- gent straight onto the parts that require cleaning). - Inspecting or replacing the rubber hose (Lmax=1.5m), when damaged and at the intervals and according to the methods provided for in the laws and regulations that are in force in the country in which the heater is installed. - Checking whether the parts of the quick coupling are still intact and cleaning these parts. Only use original spare parts when replacing worn parts. - Replacing the battery for the electronic ignition. ALL other maintenance operations or alterations must be carried out by qualified fitters. IMPORTANT! Regularly check the connections to the gas cylinder or the gas supply tube on leaks with a soap solution or a similar product.

5.1 REPLACING THE GAS JET (Only to be carried out by qualified fitters)

1 – Remove the ignition/adjustment knob (1: Fig.12). 2 – Unscrew and lower the ring that supports the perforated bell that protects the burner’s inner structure (2: Fig.12). 3 – Carefully lower the perforated bell + the steel cylinder. 4 – Find the gas jet (3: Fig. 12). Unscrew the gas jet from its housing under the venturi tube. Replace it. BE SURE NOT TO DAMAGE THE THREADED PARTS when tightening the gas jet. 5 – Refit the cover and all the other parts you have previously removed.

IMPOR TANT! Before carrying out repairs, always TURN OFF the gas tap. If there is no flame when the heater is switched on, this can be caused by: 1 – an insufficient gas flow (bad LPG gasification or filth in the installation), a blocked or faulty pressure regulator. 2 – a sudden gust of wind (more than 3 m/sec.). 3 – a lack of gas (empty gas cylinder or interrupted gas supply) or a faulty pressure regulator. 4 – an interrupted thermocouple. 5 – a faulty electromagnetic valve. 6 – filth in the gas circuit.

Barbecook INFRÂ8 – an empty battery.

9 - insulation electrodes and/or faulty cables.

If you foresee that you will not use the heater for a while (change of season or another reason), store it in a dry place where it cannot get damaged (models NOMAD and FIX). ALWAYS put the protection plugs on both parts of the quickfit and ALWAYS cover the burner and the base to avoid obstructions (cobwebs, dust) or damages (bruises, weather influences; etc.). Model SPIDER: ALWAYS cover the burner with cloths (after that it cooled down completely) to avoid obstructions (cobwebs, dust) or damages (bruises, etc.). IMPORTANT! Do not store one or more gas cylinders together with the heater. Gas cylinders should be stored outdoors, in conformity with the rules and regulations in force. 8 – Guarantee The Barbecook® comes with a one year guarantee on production flaws, from the date of purchase and to the extent the use corresponds with the present instructions for use. The receipt mentioning the date of purchase counts as guarantee card. This Barbecook® is not suited for professional use. Wear, corrosion, deformation and discoloration (especially of the stainless steel) of the parts that are directly exposed to the fire is quite normal and will therefore in no event ever be considered as a production flaw : it is the logical result of their use. Moreover, it is quite normal that the irongrid and the worn parts have to be replaced after a long period of use.
