7.3. Preventing food from sticking to the grill
To prevent your food from sticking to the grill: Oil the food
lightly with a brush before placing it on the grill. You can also oil
the grill. Do not turn the food too quickly. First allow it to heat
up thoroughly.
7.4. Preventing 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. Flare-ups may occur when grilling. However, an
excess of flare-ups increases the temperature of the bowl and
can ignite accumulated fat.nTo prevent flare-ups:
- Make sure that the bowl is clean before you start grilling.
We recommend cleaning the bowl after every use.
- Remove excess fat and marinade from the meat. You
could also use the Barbecook grill mat or Barbecook grill
pan for marinated meat.
- Keep the lid closed as much as possible.
7.5. Using the coal trays
- The simplest way to grill indirectly is by using the Barbe-
cook charcoal trays (included with certain models, but also
sold separately).
- These trays make sure that the charcoal or briquettes are
kept nicely on top of each other for optimal combustion.
In addition, you can use the trays to easily flexible heat
zones in your appliance.
- After use, the remaining coals are still collected in the coal
trays. The superfluous ashes will fall down through the
openings of the trays. You can reuse the cooled coal later.

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE
8.1. Cleaning the bowl
We recommend cleaning the bowl after every use.
Proceed as follows:
1. Allow the appliance to cool down fully and remove the grills
(food and charcoal grills)
2. Close the air supply holes at the bottom of the appliance.
3. Sweep the remaining ashes into the ash collector.
4. Empty and replace the ash collector.
8.2. Cleaning the grill
We recommend cleaning the grill with a Barbecook-cleaner
after every use. You can also clean the grill with a mild deter-
gent or with sodium bicarbonate. Never use oven cleaners to
clean the grill.
8.3. Storing the appliance
Store the appliance in a dry location (indoors, under a shelter
etc.) after each use. To extend the lifespan of your appliance,
we strongly advise you to cover your barbecue with a Barbe-
cook cover.
Register your appliance at www.barbecook.com to find out
which cover you need. To prevent rust, make sure that the
appliance is completely dry before you store it away.
8.4. Maintaining enamel, stainless steel, cast iron and
powder coated parts.
The appliance is made of various materials. Each material
must be maintained differently:
Material
Enamel
Stainless
steel
Powder
coating
Cast iron
To prevent rusting on stainless steel parts, it is best to avoid
any contact with chlorine, salt or iron. We recommend that you
do not use the device in coastal areas, near railways or near a
swimming pool. Damage due to failure to follow these instructi-
ons is considered faulty maintenance and is not covered by the
warranty. You will find an overview of all parts that make up the
device after the device's exploded views (second part of the
manual). This list includes a symbol indicating the material of
each part so that you can determine how to maintain each part.
The symbols used in the parts list are:
