HOW TO PREVENT FOOD FROM
STICKING
• Rub the food lightly with oil before
placing it on the griddle.
• Or use the Barbecook spray to oil
the griddle.
• Do not turn the food too soon after
putting it on the griddle.
WARNING:
• Do not leave your Plancha unat-
tended while in operation, especially
not if there are children or pets in
the vicinity. Keep an eye on the ap-
pliance to ensure that everything is
working properly.
• Accessible parts can become very
hot. Use appropriate protection
when you touch these parts. Keep
young children away from the appli-
ance.
• Do not move the appliance while it
is alight.
TIPS FOR CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
To prolong the life of your appliance, it
should be cleaned carefully after every
use.
GRIDDLE
To make it as easy as possible to clean
your griddle, it is best to clean it after
each use while still hot. Barbecook has
developed a 'Plancha plug' which makes
maintenance very straightforward. First
place the 'Plancha plug' in the waste out-
let, and then fill the grease recovery trap
with water. Pour the water over the still-hot
griddle and allow the residues to loosen.
The plug will ensure that the water remains
on the griddle.
Then use a non-abrasive brush or the
Barbecook Bamboo brush to scour the
griddle clean. To remove the water, replace
the grease recovery trap and remove the
'Plancha plug' from the opening. You can
repeat this step a number of times until the
griddle is clean.
Do not use oven cleaners or other cleaning
products while the griddle is still hot.
These could flavour the foods which you
later prepare on the Plancha.If the grid-
dle has already cooled down, it can be
cleaned using 'Barbecook all cleaner' and
a non-abrasive brush. Rinse with lots of
water and dry the griddle carefully.
To prolong the life of your appliance, you
should carry out all the activities listed be-

low, preferably at the start of the Plancha
season.
BURNERS AND VENTURI TUBES
IMPORTANT
Natural hazards - spiders and insects:
very small insects might make a web
or nest in the venturi tubes of the gas
burners (fig. E).
E
This will partly or completely block the
gas supply. A smoking yellow flame, or
a burner which is difficult or impossible
to ignite, are indications that this tube is
blocked.
The gas may end up burning outside the
venturi tube and severely damage your
appliance. If this happens, shut off the
gas cylinder at once.
Cleaning the venturi tubes/burners
The burners and venturi tubes must be
removed for cleaning at least twice a year.
• Remove the burners as shown in fig. F.
• Clean the venturi tubes thoroughly. Clear
any blocked opening with a pipe cleaner
or brush (e. g. an unfolded paperclip).
• Replace the burner in accordance with
the instructions (fig. F). After cleaning,
the venturi tubes must be replaced prop-
erly on the gas valves.
• If the burner is split, or displays unu-
sual holes or other damage, it must be
replaced.
Note: damage due to a partly or wholly
obstructed venturi tube in a burner is
not covered by the warranty and will be
regarded as inadequate maintenance.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
FOR ENAMELLED PARTS
(failing to follow these instructions will
invalidate the warranty)
• Metals and/or sharp objects can
damage the enamel.
• Avoid knocking the appliance
against a hard surface. This can
damage the enamel.
• In these models, the enamelling pro-
cess sometimes leaves thin edges
which are not fully covered with
enamel This is not regarded as a
manufacturing fault, and is therefore
not covered by the warranty.
• When assembling enamelled parts
always use the fibre washers sup-
plied to prevent damaging the
enamel around the screw fixings.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
FOR THE STAINLESS STEEL PARTS
(failing to follow these instructions will
invalidate the warranty)
When cleaning stainless steel or chromed
parts, it is best to avoid aggressive, abra-
sive or metal cleaners. Use non-aggressive
cleaners and give them time to act. Always
use always a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse
thoroughly and dry well before you store
the appliance.
To prevent the formation of rust on stain-
less steel components, avoid any contact
with chlorine, salt or iron. The environ-
ment in which your appliance is used can
adversely affect its lifetime. Less suitable
locations include the coast, near railway
lines and the vicinity of a swimming pool.

appliance is not in use. Both the appliance

in a well-ventilated area.Do not store in a
garage, shed or other enclosed area, or in
the vicinity of an open fire or heat source if
the gas cylinder is connected.
Buy a Barbecook cover to protect your
appliance, and store under shelter or in a
dry place.
You can store the appliance indoors
