7.4 Avoiding 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.
During grilling, some flare-ups are normal. Too many flare-ups,
however, increase the temperature in the bowl and can ignite
accumulated fat. To avoid flare-ups:
Make sure the bowl is clean before you start grilling. We
•
recommend cleaning the bowl after each use.
Remove excess fat and marinade from the meat. You can
•
also use a grill pan for fatty and/or marinated meat.
7.5 Grilling under the Dome
This information only applies to models Optima and Major.
Models Basic and Arena cannot be equipped with a Dome.
To use your appliance to its full potential, you can equip it with a
Dome. The Dome is a half-open, shell-shaped lid that reflects the
heat of the charcoal back onto the food. As a result, your food is
heated from the bottom and from the top. This allows you,
amongst others, to evenly cook large pieces of meat, to prepare
beer canned chickens and even to grill pizzas.
Use Dome 223.0043.000 for model Optima and Dome
0
223.0050.000 for model Major. For more information on
the Dome, refer to www.barbecook.com.

9.2 Cleaning the grill

We recommend cleaning the grill after each use, with the
Barbecook cleaner. Proceed as follows:
Spray the foam on the grill and let it act for a while.
1
The foam discolours, as it soaks off the dirt and greases.
Remove the foam with a soft sponge and water and rinse the
2
grill thoroughly.
Dry the grill well and store it in a dry place. This prevents
3
formation of rust.
You can also clean the grill with a soft detergent or with
2
sodium bicarbonate. Never use oven cleaners on the grill.

9.3 Storing the appliance

Store the appliance in a dry place (indoors, under a shelter...)
after each use. To extend the lifespan of your appliance, we
recommend covering it with a Barbecook cover (223.8600.100).
Register your appliance at
which cover you need.
Make sure the appliance is completely dry before you
2
store it. This prevents formation of rust.
