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 37. 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

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 Use your common sense

Use your common sense when working with the appliance:

• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.

• Warning! Keep children and pets away from an appliance 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.

• 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.

• Do not use the appliance as a heater.

• Do not use the appliance in strong winds.

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:

• 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.

4 ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE

4.1 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.

4.2 To assemble the appliance

You need a cross-slotted screwdriver. 1 Put the appliance on a flat and clean surface. 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.

5 GETTING THE APPLIANCE READY

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

5.1 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. MAN_BILLY_FULL_BBC_170308_A.book Page 5 Wednesday, March 8, 2017 12:37 PM6 www.barbecook.com

5.2 Step 1: Lighting the appliance

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figures 1 through 3, on page 42. 1 Cover the bottom of the bowl with charcoal and add 3 firelighters. Tips:

• Do not use too much charcoal. The bowl should only be filled one third.

• Use small pieces of charcoal to light the appliance. You can add larger bricks afterwards. 2 Put the stainless steel spacer on the bowl and fix it with the clips. 3 Open the air supply holes at the bottom of the bowl. 4 Take a long match and light the firelighters.

When using the appliance for the first time, let it burn for 30 minutes. 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.

Caution! Do not use spirit, petrol or comparable fluids for lighting or re-lighting the appliance. Only use firelighters that comply with EN 1860-3.

5.3 Step 2: Placing the grill and food

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figures 4 through 5, on page 42. 1 Put the grill on the appliance. 2 Wait until the charcoal is covered with a thin layer of white ashes. Normally, this takes about 15 minutes. 3 Put your food on the grill.

6 USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

6.1 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 bowl:

• The more you open the holes, the more air is sucked into the bowl and the more intense the fire will be.

• The more you close the holes, the less air is sucked into the bowl and the less intense the fire will be.

6.2 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 reduce the heat by (partially) closing the air supply holes at the bottom of the bowl.

6.3 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.

1 Put gloves on. Keep them on during the entire procedure. 2 Remove the grill from the appliance and add the charcoal to the bowl. 3 Put the grill back on the appliance.

6.5 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 appliance and can ignite accumulated fat. To avoid flare-ups:

• Make sure the appliance is clean before you start grilling. We recommend cleaning the appliance 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 MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

7.1 Cleaning the appliance

We recommend cleaning the appliance after each use. Proceed as follows: 1 Let the appliance cool down completely. 2 Remove the grill and clean it as described in “7.2 Cleaning the grill”. 3 Release the clips and remove the stainless steel spacer. 4 Unscrew the bottom shell of the appliance. 5 Put the bottom shell and the stainless steel spacer in the dishwasher.

You can also clean these components by hand, using a soft sponge or cloth and a regular detergent.

7.2 Cleaning the grill

We recommend cleaning the grill after each use, with the Barbecook cleaner. Proceed as follows: 1 Let the grill cool down completely. 2 Spray the foam on the grill and let it act for a while. The foam discolours, as it soaks off the dirt and greases. 3 Remove the foam with a soft sponge and water and rinse the grill thoroughly. 4 Dry the grill well and store it in a dry place. This prevents formation of rust.

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

7.3 Storing the appliance

Store the appliance indoors after each use.

Make sure the appliance is completely dry before you store it. This prevents formation of rust. MAN_BILLY_FULL_BBC_170308_A.book Page 6 Wednesday, March 8, 2017 12:37 PMwww.barbecook.com 7

7.4 Maintaining stainless steel, chrome

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.

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.
