2 ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual is composed of two parts. The first part is what you are reading now. It includes instructions for the assembly, use and maintenance of your appliance. The second part starts on page 96. 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! This barbecue will become very hot, do not move it during operation.
• Use appropriate protection when handling hot parts (lid, grill ...).

• 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.

• 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 QuickStart® lighting system

The appliance is equipped with a QuickStart® lighting system. This system allows you to light your appliance using nothing but some old newspaper and a match. You do not have to add any lighting fluids or firelighters. The system also works very quickly: only 15 minutes after lighting the appliance, you can start grilling.

You find step-by-step descriptions of how to use the QuickStart® system further in this manual.

4.2 QuickStop® extinguishing system

The appliance is equipped with a QuickStop® extinguishing system. This system allows you to extinguish and clean your appliance in no time. After grilling, you just have to brush the ashes into the water container at the bottom of the central pipe. The water container of the QuickStop® system also adds to the safety of the appliance. It increases the stability and puts out glowing charcoal in case the appliance would fall over.

You find step-by-step descriptions of how to use the QuickStop® system further in this manual.

4.3 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 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

1. The barbecue has to be installed on a secure level base prior to use.
2. 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.

Be careful when assembling enamelled parts. Use the provided fiber washers to protect the enamel around the screws.

Do not use any tools to assemble the appliance. You can only use a cross-slotted screwdriver to adjust the tension on the clips at the bottom of the central pipe.

6 GETTING THE APPLIANCE READY FOR USE

You need water, charcoal, dry newspaper 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 1860-3. 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.

Do not overfill the inner charcoal pan. Make sure that charcoal lumps do not exceed the top edge of the charcoal pan (max 66%). Overfilling the bowl can seriously damage your barbecue due to extensive heat.

6.2 Step 1: Filling the ash pot

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 1, on page 108.

We recommend filling the ash pot with water before each use. Proceeds as follows:

1. Turn the ash pot to the left to detach it.
2. Fill the ash pot half-full with water.
3. Reposition the ash pot. Turn right to lock.

6.3 Step 2: Putting the paper in place

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 2, on page 108.

For a proper functioning of the QuickStart® system, your have to put the paper correctly in the appliance. Proceed as follows:

1. Take three double sheets of newspaper. Always use dry newspaper, preferably a few days old.
2. Roll each sheet of paper diagonally, into a torch-like shape. Do not roll the torches too tightly.
3. Fold over one end of each torch.
4. Remove the charcoal pan from the bowl.
5. Put the torches in the pipe, with the folded ends upwards.

Do not put the torches too deep. They still have to touch the charcoal pan when you put it back in the bowl.

1. Put the charcoal pan back in the bowl.

6.4 Step 3: lighting the appliance

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 3, on page 108.

Once the paper is in place, you can light your appliance. Proceed as follows:

1. Cover the bottom of the bowl with charcoal (Fig. 3a). Tips:

2. Do not use too much charcoal. See 6.1

3. Use small pieces of charcoal to light the appliance. You can add larger bricks afterwards.

4. Open the air supply holes at the bottom of the pipe.

5. Take a long match and light the paper through the air supply holes (Fig. 3b). The burning paper can cause heavy smoke.

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!

1. Do not cook before the fuel (charcoal) has a coating of ash. Normally, this takes about 15 minutes (Fig. 3c)

Adam Top: do not close the lid before the charcoal is covered with a thin layer of white ashes.

7 USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

7.1 Adjusting the fire intensity

You can adjust the intensity of the fire by opening and closing the air supply holes at the bottom of the central pipe:

• The more you open the holes, the more air is sucked into the pipe and the more intense the fire will be.
• The more you close the holes, the less air is sucked into the pipe and the less intense the fire will be.
• ADAM Top: the fire intensity can also be adjusted by manipulating the ventilation control knob on top of the lid.

How the air flows through the pipe and fans the fire is illustrated in Figure 4, on page 109.

7.2 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.
• Avoid exposing your food to excessive heat. You can:
• Protect the food by moving the grill to a higher position.
• Reduce the heat by (partially) closing the air supply holes at the bottom of the pipe
• Adam top: reduce the heat by closing the ventilation control knob on top of the lid

7.3 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.

7.4 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.

7.5 Grilling under the Dome (Adam 50)

To use your appliance to its full potential, you can equip it with a Dome. The Dome is a half-open, shell-shaped lid that reflects the heat of the charcoal back onto the food. As a result, your food is heated from the bottom and from the top. This allows you, amongst others, to evenly cook large pieces of meat, to prepare beer canned chickens and even to grill pizzas.

Use Dome 223.0050.000 for the Adam 50. For more information on the Dome, refer to www.barbecook.com

7.6 Grilling under the lid (Adam 50 Top)

The Adam 50 Top is equipped with a removable lid. The lid reflects and holds the heat. This allows you to evenly cook large pieces of meat, to prepare beer canned chickens and even to grill pizzas. Proceed as follows:

• Open the lid when the fire is intense.
• Close the lid at low heat for to slowly cook large pieces of meat.

8 MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

8.1 Cleaning the bowl

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 5, on page 109.

We recommend cleaning the bowl after each use. Proceed as follows:

1. Let the appliance cool down completely and remove the grill.
2. Close the air supply holes at the bottom of the central pipe (Fig. 5a).
3. Remove the charcoal pan from the bowl and pour the ashes into a bucket. Sweep the remaining ashes into the pipe (Fig. 5b).
4. Release the ash pot by turning it to the left (Fig. 5c).
5. Pour the water with the ashes into a bucket (Fig. 5d).
6. Reposition the ash pot. Turn right to lock.
7. Put the charcoal pan back in the bowl.

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 in a dry place (indoors, under a shelter...) after each use. To extend the lifespan of your appliance, we recommend covering it with a Barbecook cover. Register your appliance at www.barbecook.com to find out which cover you need..

Make sure the appliance is completely dry before you store it. This prevenst formation of rust.

8.4 Maintaining enamel, (stainless) steel and chrome

The appliance is composed of enamelled, stainless steel and chromed 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.
Oiled steel	Use a steel brush or steel wool to clean the surface.Rub the inside & outside surface with a cooking oil after every use. This will prevent the bowl from rusting. However, over a period of time rust will develop eventually.

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.
