ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE

5.1 Safety instructions
Do not modify the appliance when assembling it. It is very
•
dangerous and not allowed to alter parts of the appliance.
Always follow the assembly instructions carefully.
•
The user is responsible for the correct assembly of the
•
appliance. Damages caused by improper assembly are not
covered by the warranty.
5.2 To assemble the appliance
You need a cross-slotted screwdriver.
Assemble the appliance as shown on the assembly
1
drawings.
You find the assembly drawings in the second part of this
3
manual, after the exploded view of your appliance.
6 GETTING THE APPLIANCE READY
FOR USE
6.1 Before the first use
Before the first use, you have to burn in the appliance. This
removes any remaining manufacturing greases from the
appliance. Proceed as follows:
Assemble the appliance. See "5 Assembling the appliance".
1
Put the appliance in an appropriate location. See "3.3 Select
2
an appropriate location".
Check if all parts (heating element, support, chips tray,
3
grease tray and grid) are in place.
Close the lid and connect the appliance to the mains.
4
Let the appliance run for 20 minutes. Do not put any wood
5
chips or food in the appliance.
After 20 minutes, disconnect the appliance from the mains
6
and let the appliance cool down.
6.2 Before each use
Each time you use the appliance, make sure that:
The appliance is in an appropriate location. See "3.3 Select
•
an appropriate location".
The feet and handles are still firmly attached. Tighten the
•
screws if necessary.
The chips tray, grease tray and grid are clean. See
•
"8.1 Cleaning the grid and trays".

SMOKING FOOD

You need wood chips.

wood chips. Barbecook provides three types of flavoured chips:

7.2 Step 1: Placing wood chips
Fill the chips tray at least half way up with wood chips. Never
1
put fewer chips in the tray.
Put the chips tray on the support above the heating element.
2
Never put the tray directly onto the heating element.
7.3 Step 2: Placing food
Put the grid on the grease tray.
1
Put your food on the grid.
2
Only put a single layer of food on the grid and leave
2
enough space between the pieces of food. This allows the
smoke and heat to circulate evenly around the food.
Never put tinfoil on the grid or in the grease tray. This
1
causes excessive heat and can damage the appliance.
Slide the grease tray with the grid in the appliance, on the
3
support brackets.
Close the lid.
4
7.4 Step 3: Preparing food
Connect the appliance to the mains.
1
Let the appliance run until the food is ready. The cooking
2
time depends on the type of food and on the weather
conditions.
Once you have started smoking, avoid opening the lid as
2
much as possible. A considerable amount of heat and
smoke escapes each time you open the lid, which
extends the cooking time of your food.
Disconnect the appliance from the mains.
3
Open the lid, take out the grease tray with the grid and enjoy
4
your food.
Clean the appliance. We recommend cleaning the grid and
5
the grease tray while they are still slightly hot.

MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

Always disconnect the appliance from the mains before
1
you execute any maintenance tasks.
8.1 Cleaning the grid and trays
Clean the grid, the grease tray and the chips tray after each use:
Clean the grid and the grease tray while they are still slightly
•
hot. This eases the cleaning.
Clean the chips tray when it has cooled down completely.
•
Always pour the used wood chips into a heat resistant
container.
We recommend cleaning all parts with the Barbecook cleaner.
Proceed as follows:
Spray the foam on the part to be cleaned and let it act for a
1
while.
The foam discolours, as it soaks off the dirt and greases.
Remove the foam with a soft sponge and water. If
2
necessary, use a brush with stiff bristles. Never use a steel
brush.
Rinse the part thoroughly and dry it well before storing. This
3
prevents formation of rust.
You can also put the grid and the trays in the dishwasher
2
or clean them with a soft detergent or with sodium
bicarbonate.
