Burner Hoods; Enamel; Flare-Ups; Assembling The Appliance - Barbecook SUMO BLACK Manual

When the gas is on its way to the burners, it passes through the
venturis. Thanks to the holes at the sides, the gas is then mixed with
air and - as a result - with oxygen. This is necessary for a good ignition
in the burners: only the correct mixture of gas and oxygen will ignite
properly and will result in nice flames.

4.2 Burner hoods

The burner hoods are the hoods that you mount above the burners of
your appliance. They protect the burners from dripping fat. The holes
at the sides of the hoods also distribute the heat over the grill, so it is
heated much faster and more evenly.

4.3 Enamel

Some parts of the appliance are covered in a layer of melted glass,
called enamel. This enamel protects the underlying metal from
corrosion. Enamel is a high-quality material: it is resistant to
rust, does not fade under the influence of high temperatures and is
very easy to maintain.
Because the enamel is less flexible than the metal which the
appliance incorrectly. To avoid problems, be careful when
assembling enamelled parts and always maintain the enamel
as described further in this manual.

4.4 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.

washers to protect the enamel around the screws.
The blister packs can contain more screws than necessary.
Screws can be left over after the assembly.
The package includes an emergency kit with spare assembly
parts (screws, bolts, fiber washers...) You can use them in case
you lost or broke some parts.
6 CONNECTING GAS TO THE

pressure regulator. The hose and regulator are supplied with the
appliance, the cylinder is not.
Which cylinder, hose and regulator you have to use, depends on the

If you have to replace the hose or pressure regulator, buy
materials with the same properties as the ones supplied with
the appliance.
Take your pressure regulator with you when buying a gas
cylinder. Not all pressure regulators fit all cylinders.
6.2 Safety instructions
• Never connect the cylinder directly to the appliance. Always
mount a pressure regulator on the cylinder first.
• Never modify pre-assembled or sealed parts of the cylinder, the
hose or the pressure regulator.
• Keep the hose as short as possible (1,5 m maximum) to prevent it
from dragging on the ground.
• While connecting the cylinder, hose and pressure regulator:
- Never distort the hose.
- Always keep the cylinder in an upright position.
- Never open the gas supply.
• Check for leaks each time you make changes to the gas
connection. See "7 Checking for gas leaks".

6.3 Connecting the hose to the appliance

1. Locate the gas tube of your appliance.
