10.6. Using the heat zones
Once all burners have been ignited, the burner covers
distribute the heat as evenly as possible over the grill. Even
though heating is as even as possible, some zones will be
warmer than others. You can use these heat zones for perfect
grilling:
Zone Warm Use for...
For Warm Grilling delicate foods
(shrimps, fish, etc.)
Middle Warmer Preparing foods that need to cook for
longer (sausages, chicken, etc.)
Rear Warmest Searing meat and vegetables
You can also create heat zones by playing with the
power of the burners. For example, you could set a
burner at a lower level and use the zone above the
burner for delicate foods or foods that need to cook for
longer.
10.7. Preventing flare-ups
Flare-ups may occur when grilling. This is a normal
occurrence. However, an excess of flare-ups increases the
temperature of the appliance and can ignite accumulated fat.
Preventing flare-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 flames.
The gas can ignite outside of the venturi tubes level with the
control knobs. These flames are known as flashbacks 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 first 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
figures. 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:
