10.7. Preventing flare-ups
Flare-ups may occur when grilling. This is a normal
occurrence. However, an excess of are-ups increases the
temperature of the appliance and can ignite accumulated fat.
Preventing are-ups:
• Ensure that the bowl is clean before you start grilling. See
“11.2 Cleaning the bowl”.
• Check that the fat drain opening is clear at regular intervals
and/or that the fat drip drawer is not full.
• When grilling, cut excess fat away from meat, close the lid,
and set the burners to a medium or low heat.
11. MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE
11.1. Cleaning the grill
We recommend cleaning the grill after each use with a
Barbecook accessory.
You can also clean the grill with a mild cleaning agent or
sodium bicarbonate. Never use oven cleaners to clean
the grill.
11.2. Cleaning the bowl
We recommend cleaning the bowl after each use with a
Barbecook accessory, metal sponge, and abrasive
cleaning agent. Use these in the same way as for the grill.
Do not use any sharp objects and do not knock the
appliance against hard surfaces.
Avoid contact with cold liquids while the appliance is
still hot.
11.3. Cleaning the burners and venturi tubes
11.3.1. Why clean the burners and venturi tubes?
Spiders and insects can make webs and nests in the
burners and venturi tubes, blocking the gas supply
to the burners. Consequence:
• You cannot ignite the burners. If you do manage to ignite
the burners, they will only produce smoky, yellow ames.
• The gas can ignite outside of the venturi tubes level with the
control knobs. These ames are known as ashbacks and
can cause serious injury and material damage.
Damage as a result of blocked burners and venturi
tubes is considered poor maintenance and is not
covered by the warranty.
11.3.2. When to clean the burners and venturi tubes?
Clean the burners and venturi tubes on the appliance as
follows:
• Before rst use after a lengthy period out of use.
• At least twice annually, once at the start of the season.
11.3.3. Cleaning the burners and venturi tubes
1. Remove the burners from the appliance as shown in the
gures. If you notice that a burner is damaged, you must
replace it.
2. Clean the burners and venturi tubes with a small brush of
self-made pipe cleaner (an opened paper clip, pipe brush,
etc.).
3. Put the burners back in place. Ensure that the venturi tubes
are situated above the openings of the gas valves.
11.4. Maintaining enamel, stainless steel, and powder
coated parts
The appliance comprises enamel, stainless steel, and powder
coated parts. Each material must be maintained differently:
Material How to maintain this material
Enamel • Do not use any sharp objects and do
not knock the appliance against
hard surfaces.
• Avoid contact with cold liquids while
the appliance is still hot.
• You can use metal sponges and
abrasive cleaning products.
Stainless steel • Do not use aggressive, abrasive, or
metal cleaning agents.
• Use mild cleaning agents and leave
to work on the steel.
• Use a soft sponge or cloth.
• After cleaning, rinse the appliance
thoroughly and allow the appliance
to dry completely before storing.
Powder coated • Do not use sharp objects. Use mild
cleaning products and a soft sponge
or cloth.
• After cleaning, rinse the appliance
thoroughly and allow the appliance
to dry completely before storing.
To prevent rust formation on stainless steel parts,
it is best to avoid contact with chlorine,
salt, and iron.
Damage that arises as a result of not following these
instructions is considered poor maintenance and is not
covered by the warranty.
You will nd a list of the parts from which your appliance is
assembled under the exploded drawing of your appliance
(second part of the guide). This list contains a symbol to
indicate the material of each part so that you can check how
a certain part should be maintained. The parts list uses the
