This manual is composed of two parts:

• The first part is the part that you are reading now. It includes instructions for the assembly, use and maintenance of your appliance.

• The second part starts on page 373. It includes all kinds of illustrations (exploded views, assembly drawings, type labels) of the appliances that are described in this manual. 3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Read and follow the 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.

3.2 Be cautious with gas

Working with gas is perfectly safe, but requires some extra caution:

• Always store gas cylinders outdoors, in a well-ventilated area. Make sure they are not exposed to excessive heat or direct sunlight.

• Never store your gas cylinder or spare gas cylinder in the cabinet of your appliance.

• While in use, put your gas cylinder in the cylinder cart at the side of the appliance.

• Never store your spare gas cylinder near a gas appliance in use.

• Always turn off the gas supply at the gas cylinder after use.

• Never smoke near a gas appliance in use or near a gas cylinder (full/empty).

If you smell gas, immediately close the gas supply, extinguish all flames and open the lid of the appliance. If the smell lasts, call your gas supplier or the fire department.

3.3 Select an appropriate location

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 there is a free air flow to the burners and the vent holes in the cabinet at all times.

• Make sure the appliance is not under an overhanging structure (a porch, a shelter...) or under foliage.

• Put the appliance on a firm and stable surface. Never put it on a moving vehicle (a boat, a trailer...).

To prevent formation of rust on stainless steel, avoid contact with chlorine, salt and iron. We recommend not using the appliance near the coast, near railways or near swimming pools.

3.4 Use your common sense

Always use your common sense when using the appliance:

• Do not move the appliance during use.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended during use, especially in the presence of children and animals.

• WARNING! Some accessible parts may become very hot. Keep young children away.

• Use appropriate protection when handling hot parts (lid, grill...).

• The appliance must be kept away from flammable materials during use.

• Keep flammable materials, flammable liquids and dissoluble objects away from an appliance in use.

• Do not use wood, charcoal, lava rocks or ceramic briquettes on a gas appliance.

• Do not use the appliance when you have consumed alcohol or taken drugs.

• Do not modify the appliance. 4 RECURRENT CONCEPTS This part includes definitions of some less familiar concepts. These concepts are used in several topics of the manual.

The venturis are the small tubes attached to the entrance of the burners. At the side of the venturis, there is a hole. This is visible on the main burners and on the side burner: !gas_quisson_standard.book Page 6 Tuesday, September 2, 2014 2:13 PMwww.barbecook.com 7 When the gas is on its way to the burners, it passes through the venturis. Thanks to the holes at the sides, the gas is then mixed with air and - as a result - with oxygen. This is necessary for a good ignition in the burners: only the correct mixture of gas and oxygen will ignite properly and will result in nice flames.

The burner hoods are the hoods that you mount above the burners of your appliance. They protect the burners from dripping fat and play a crucial role in the Turbo Heating System. The roofed holes at the sides of the hoods distribute the heat over the grill, so it is heated much faster and more evenly.

Pay special attention to the burner hoods when assembling your appliance. The Turbo Heating System can only function properly if each hood is mounted above the correct burner.

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.

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

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 that are pre-assembled and/or sealed by the manufacturer.

• 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

You need a cross-slotted screwdriver, a flat-slotted screwdriver and an AA battery (electrical igniter). If your appliance comes with a spit burner, you also need two D batteries (spit burner engine). There are no batteries supplied with the appliance. 1 Put the appliance on a flat and clean surface. 2 Assemble the appliance as shown on the assembly drawings. You find them in the second part of this manual, after the exploded view of your appliance.

Be careful when assembling enamelled parts. The tools and screws may damage the enamel. Use the provided fiber washers to protect the enamel around the screws.

The blister packs can contain more screws than necessary. Screws can be left over after the assembly.

6.1 Which cylinder, hose and regulator?

Before you can connect gas to the appliance, you have to buy a gas cylinder, hose and pressure regulator. Always buy materials that comply with all national standards and with the gas type(s) and nominal pressure(s) mentioned on the appliance. The table below shows you which cylinder, hose and regulator you have to use. In Belgium (BE), for example, you have to use a propane cylinder with a hose and regulator for 37 mbar or a butane cylinder with a hose and regulator for 28-30 mbar.

We recommend connecting the appliance to propane. Propane offers a high-quality combustion and is less sensitive to frost.

6.2 Safety instructions

• Never connect the cylinder directly to the appliance. Always mount a pressure regulator on the cylinder first.• Never modify pre-assembled or sealed parts of the cylinder, the hose or the pressure regulator.• Keep the hose as short as possible (1,5 m maximum) to prevent it from dragging on the ground.• While connecting the cylinder, hose and pressure regulator:• Never distort the hose.• Always keep the cylinder in an upright position.• Never open the gas supply.• Check for leaks each time you make changes to the gas connection. See “7 Checking for gas leaks”.

6.3 Connecting the hose to the

appliance To connect the gas hose to the appliance, you have to mount a coupling on the gas tube of the appliance. The appliance comes with two couplings, both intended for particular countries: If your country is not in the table, use the coupling that complies with your national standards.

You need a 19 mm spanner and a cross-slotted screwdriver.1 Screw the coupling on the gas tube of the appliance (A) and tighten it with a 19 mm spanner (B).2 Slide the hose over the coupling (C) and tighten theclamping ring with a cross-slotted screwdriver (D).

You need a 22 mm spanner and an adjustable spanner.1 Screw the coupling on the gas tube of the appliance (A) and tighten it with a 22 mm spanner (B).2 Screw the gas hose on the coupling (C) and tighten it withtwo spanners. Hold the coupling with a 22 mm spanner,while turning the hose with an adjustable spanner (D).

6.4 Connecting the hose and cylinder to

the regulator Depending on the type of pressure regulator you use, you need a cross-slotted screwdriver and/or an adjustable spanner.1 Connect the hose to the pressure regulator. Do one of the following:• If the hose has a clamping ring, slide the hose over theregulator and tighten the clamping ring with across-slotted screwdriver (A).Country CouplingBE, CH, CZ, DK, ES, FI, GB, IE, IT, PT, SI Coupling AFR Coupling B

!gas_quisson_standard.book Page 8 Tuesday, September 2, 2014 2:13 PMwww.barbecook.com 9

• If the hose has a nut, screw the hose on the regulator and tighten the nut with an adjustable spanner (B). 2 Connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder. Do one of the following:

• If the regulator has a nut, screw the regulator clockwise on the cylinder and tighten the nut with an adjustable spanner (C).

• If the regulator has a screw thread, screw the regulator counter-clockwise on the cylinder (D).

6.5 Replacing the cylinder

1 Close the gas supply and set all control knobs to OFF. 2 Disconnect the empty cylinder and connect the full cylinder. 3 Check the cylinder, the hose and all gas connections for leaks. See “7 Checking for gas leaks”.

7 CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS

7.1 Why check for gas leaks?

Propane and butane are heavier than air. As a result, they do not float away when leaking from the appliance. Especially on windless days, a leak can cause the gas to collect in and around the appliance. That accumulated gas can then ignite and explode.

7.2 When check for gas leaks?

• Before the first use or before the first use after a long period of non-use.

Also check for gas leaks if your appliance was assembled by your dealer.

• Each time you replace a gas component.

• At least once a year, preferably at the beginning of the season.

7.3 Safety instructions

• Put the appliance outdoors, in a well-ventilated area. Make sure there are no flames or heat sources near the appliance.

• Never use a lighter or match to check for gas leaks.

• Do not smoke and do not light the burners when checking for gas leaks.

7.4 Which materials do I need?

To check for gas leaks, you need:

• A testing liquid. You can use a ready-made leak spray or a mixture of water (50%) and dish-washing soap (50%).

• The leak test tool that came with your appliance. You use it to suck up the testing liquid and apply it to the gas component or connection that you want to check.

7.5 To check for gas leaks

You check for gas leaks by applying a testing liquid to all gas components and connections. If the bubbles on a particular component or connection grow, there is gas leak: To check for gas leaks, proceed as follows: 1 Put the appliance outside. 2 Get your leak test tool and testing liquid (leak spray or water/soap mixture). 3 Open the lid and set all control knobs to OFF. 4 Open the gas supply slightly. Turn the valve of the gas cylinder only once. 5 Suck up some testing liquid with the leak test tool and apply it to the area that you want to check. You have to check:

• The welds of the gas cylinder (A)

• The connections between the cylinder and the pressure regulator and between the pressure regulator and the hose (C)

!gas_quisson_standard.book Page 9 Tuesday, September 2, 2014 2:13 PM10 www.barbecook.com

• The connection between the hose and the appliance (D)

Your pressure regulator and coupling may be different from the ones in the illustrations. 6 Do one of the following:

• If you detect a leak, continue as described in “ In case of a gas leak”.

• If there are no leaks, close the gas supply, rinse all components thoroughly with water and dry them well.

7.6 In case of a gas leak

1 Close the gas supply and do one of the following:

• If you detected a leak on one of the connections, tighten that connection.

• If you detected a leak on the cylinder or hose, replace the cylinder or hose. 2 Recheck the connection or component on which you detected the leak. 3 If the leak is not repaired, contact a Barbecook dealer. Do not use the appliance until the leak is repaired.

For a list of nearby Barbecook dealers, refer to www.barbecook.com.

Each time you use the appliance, make sure that:

• The appliance is in an appropriate location. See “3.3 Select an appropriate location”.

• The gas hose does not drag on the ground and cannot come into contact with a hot surface or with dripping fat.

• The bowl is clean. We recommend putting a new Leaf

in the bowl before each use. See “12.2 Cleaning the bowl”.

• The burners and venturis are not blocked by insect nests or spider webs. See “12.3 Cleaning the burners and venturis”.

• The appliance is assembled correctly. Pay special attention to:

• The burner hoods. Each hood has to be placed above the correct burner. See “4.2 Burner hoods”.

• The venturis of the burners. They have to be placed over the openings of the gas valves.

If you want to be absolutely sure that your gas connection is okay, you can check your appliance on gas leaks before each use. See “7 Checking for gas leaks”.

8.2 Before first use (in a long time)

If you use the appliance for the first time or for the first time after a long period of non-use, you have to execute some extra checks:

• Make sure that you have read, understood and checked all the instructions in this manual (only before first use).

• Check the appliance for gas leaks. See “7 Checking for gas leaks”.

Also check for gas leaks if your appliance was assembled by your dealer.

• Clean the burners and venturis (only before first use in a long time). See “12.3 Cleaning the burners and venturis”.

• Burn in the appliance before you put any food on it (only before first use). See “8.3 Burning in the appliance”.

8.3 Burning in the appliance

By burning in the appliance before the first use, you remove remaining manufacturing greases from the appliance. Proceed as follows: 1 Light the main burners and set their control knobs to HIGH. See “9.2 Lighting the main burners”. 2 Close the lid and let the appliance burn for 15 minutes. Do not put any food on the grill yet. 3 After 15 minutes, open the lid and let the appliance burn for another 5 minutes (control knobs still set to HIGH). 4 After 5 minutes, the appliance is ready for use. You can now put food on the grill.

To light the burners with the electrical igniter, you have to install an AA battery in the igniter. That battery is not supplied with the appliance. You find the battery case of the igniter inside the cabinet of your appliance.

10.6 Temperature guidelines

The thermometer alarm is especially helpful to prepare meat. If you plug the probe into the center of your meat, you can make the alarm go off when the meat is cooked to your liking. This table indicates to which temperature you should set the alarm:

11 USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

11.1 Preheating the appliance

By preheating your appliance, you make sure the grill is hot enough by the time you put food on it. Proceed as follows: 1 Light the burner(s) and set their control knob(s) to HIGH. 2 Close the lid and leave the appliance for ten minutes. 3 After ten minutes, open the lid and put your food on the grill. 4 If you need less heat now, set the control knob(s) to a lower position.

11.2 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.

• Preheat the appliance. The warmer the grill when you put food on it, the less the food will stick.

• Do not turn the food too quickly. Let it catch some heat first.

11.3 Direct and indirect grilling

Depending on the type of food you are preparing and on how you want to prepare it, you can grill directly or indirectly: Icon/button Description Clock icon (A) Displayed when you are setting the timer alarm and when the timer alarm is set. Probe icon (B) Displayed when you are setting the thermometer alarm and when the thermometer alarm is set.

When grilling under a closed lid, always keep an eye on the lid thermometer to make sure the appliance does not get too hot. See “11.5 Watching the temperature”.

11.4 Grilling with closed lid

Closing the lid while grilling has some important advantages:

• The temperature of the grill is higher and remains more constant.

• You reduce the cooking time of your food and keep your food more moist.

When grilling under a closed lid, always keep an eye on the lid thermometer to make sure the appliance does not get too hot. See “11.5 Watching the temperature”.

11.5 Watching the temperature

Your appliance is equipped with powerful burners, so it heats up rapidly and you can keep the temperature steady. When grilling under a closed lid, however, you have to make sure that the appliance does not get too hot. Keep an eye on the lid thermometer and take into account the following guidelines:

• A normal cooking temperature is about 210 °C. At higher temperatures, dripping and accumulated fat can ignite.

• The temperature should never be over 300 °C for more than five minutes. This can damage and deform the appliance.

If the appliance gets too hot, cool it down by opening the lid and setting the burners to a lower position.

11.6 Making optimal use of the heat

The central part of the bowl is hotter than the sides. To allow you to use that hottest part to its full potential, the appliance is equipped with grills of different sizes. It comes with:

• One large grill, to be placed in the centre of the bowl.

• Two smaller grills, to be placed at the sides of the bowl. If you place the grills correctly in the bowl and light all the burners, the entire central grill will be heated to the maximum. Like that, you expand the hottest part of the bowl and you can make optimal use of the grill surface of your appliance.

11.7 Taking advantage of the heat zones

When all burners are lit, the burner hoods distribute the heat as evenly as possible over the grill. Despite this even heating, some zones are still hotter than others. You can take advantage of these heat zones to grill your food to perfection:

You can also create heat zones by playing with the power of the burners. You can, for example, set a burner to a lower position and use the zone above that burner for delicate food or food that needs some time to cook.

11.8 Roasting food on the spit

To roast food on the spit, you have to make the main burners and spit burner act together. To prepare a spit-roasted chicken, for example, proceed as follows: 1 Remove the grills and warming rack from the appliance and put them aside. 2 Light the main burners and close the lid to preheat the appliance. In the meantime, put the chicken on the spit. 3 After ten minutes, open the lid, switch off the middle burner and set the side burners to LOW. You can put a dish on the middle burner to catch dripping fat. 4 Put the spit above the burners and close the lid. The hot air will now cook the chicken, just like in a traditional oven. 5 When the chicken is partially cooked, light the spit burner to crisp the chicken skin. Open the lid when lighting the burner and close it afterwards. 6 Keep an eye on the chicken to make sure the skin does not burn. Switch the spit burner off once the skin is crisp enough.

When grilling under a closed lid, always keep an eye on the lid thermometer to make sure the appliance does not get too hot. See “11.5 Watching the temperature”.

11.9 Avoiding flare-ups

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

• Make sure the bowl is clean when you start grilling. We recommend putting a new Leaf

in the bowl before each use. See “12.2 Cleaning the bowl”.

• Regularly check if the fat drain hole is not blocked and if the fat drip tray or cup is not full yet.

• When grilling fatty meat, trim excess fat, close the lid and set the burners to a medium or low position.

12 MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

12.1 Cleaning the grill

We recommend cleaning the grill after each use, with the Barbecook cleaner. Proceed as follows: 1 Spray the foam on the grill and let it act for a while. The foam discolours, as it soaks off the dirt and greases. 2 Remove the foam with a soft sponge and water and rinse the grill thoroughly. Method Description Use Direct Put your food directly above a lit burner, set that burner to a high position and keep the lid open. To sear meat and vegetables Indirect Put your food next to a lit burner, set that burner to a medium/low position and close the lid. To further cook seared meat Zone Hot? Use to... Front Hot Grill delicate food (prawns, fish...) Centre Hotter Prepare food that needs some time to cook (e.g. sausages, chicken ties...) Back Hottest Sear meat and vegetables !gas_quisson_standard.book Page 14 Tuesday, September 2, 2014 2:13 PMwww.barbecook.com 15 3 Dry the grill well and store it in a dry place. This prevents formation of rust.

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

12.2 Cleaning the bowl

We recommend cleaning the bowl after each use. The easiest way to do this is by putting a Leaf

in the bowl before you start grilling. The Leaf

is a foil that fits the bowl perfectly and that catches all residues and greases. When the appliance cooled down, just remove the Leaf

and the bowl is clean.

Register your appliance at www.barbecook.com to find out which type of Leaf

12.3 Cleaning the burners and venturis

12.3.1 WHY CLEAN THE BURNERS AND VENTURIS?

Spiders and insects can make webs and nests in the burners and venturis. This may block the gas supply to the burners. As a result:

• You cannot light the burners. If you manage to light them anyway, they will only produce smoky and yellow flames.

• The gas can start burning outside the venturis, at the control knobs. These fires are called flash-backs and can result in serious injuries and material damage.

Damages caused by blocked burners and venturis are regarded as inadequate maintenance and are not covered by the warranty.

12.3.2 WHEN CLEAN THE BURNERS AND VENTURIS?

You have to clean the burners and venturis of your appliance:

• Before the first use after a long period of non-use.
