• Regularly check if the fat drain hole is not blocked and if the

• When grilling fatty meat, trim excess fat, close the lid and set
the burners to a medium or low position.
11 MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE
11.1 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 and rinse the
grill thoroughly.
3 Dry the grill well and store it in a dry place. This prevents
formation of rust.

You can also clean the grill with a soft detergent or with
sodium bicarbonate. Never use oven cleaners on the grill.
11.2 Cleaning the bowl
We recommend cleaning the bowl after each use, with the
Barbecook cleaner. Use it the same way you do on the grill.
11.3 Cleaning the burners and venturis
11.3.1 WHY CLEAN THE BURNERS AND VENTURIS?
Spiders and insects can make webs and nests in the burners and
venturis. This may block the gas supply to the burners. As a
result:
• You cannot light the burners. If you manage to light them
anyway, they will only produce smoky and yellow flames.
• The gas can start burning outside the venturis, at the control
knobs. These fires are called flash-backs and can result in
serious injuries and material damage.
0
Damages caused by blocked burners and venturis are
regarded as inadequate maintenance and are not
covered by the warranty.
11.3.2 WHEN CLEAN THE BURNERS AND VENTURIS?
You have to clean the burners and venturis of your appliance:
• Before the first use after a long period of non-use.
• At least twice a year, of which once at the beginning of the
season.
11.3.3 TO CLEAN THE BURNERS AND VENTURIS
1 Remove the burners from the appliance as shown on the
illustrations. If you notice that a burner is damaged, you have
to replace it.
2 Clean the burners and venturis with a small brush or a
homemade pipe cleaner (an unfolded paperclip, a pipe
brush...).
3 Put the burners back. Make sure to place the venturis over
the openings of the gas valves.
