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.
2
Close your bag of charcoal properly before storing it.
Always store it in a dry place, do not store it in a cellar.
6.2 Lighting the appliance
3
The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 2 and
3, on page 100.
1 Put some firelighters on the bottom of the bowl (Fig. 2a).
Always use firelighters that comply with EN 1860-3.
2 Cover the firelighters 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).
1
When using the appliance for the first time, let it burn for
30 minutes. This removes any remaining manufacturing
greases from the appliance.
1
Do not put the grill on the appliance yet. An empty grill can
deform when held in the heat for too long.
1
Warning! Do not use spirit or petrol to light or re-light the
appliance.
4 Wait until the charcoal is covered with a thin layer of white
ashes. 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.
2
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".
2
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).

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.
6
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.

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

8.1 Cleaning the bowl
3
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 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.
3 Rinse the grill thoroughly and dry it well before storing it. This
prevents formation of rust.
2
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.
0
The rust does not harm the barrel. If you like a sturdy look,
do not bother oiling the barrel.
