INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
A) Preparation/safety :
Only for Optima, Major, Arena.
Fill the Quickstop
(#8) with water. to do so,
®
release the top section of your Barbecook
by means of the two clips. the water in the
Quickstop
increases your Barbecook
®
stability. this water tray also acts as an ash
collector and puts out the glowing charcoal.
B) Lighting : (see illustration p. 10)
remove the bottom grid (#5). take three double
sheets of newspaper and scrumple them up
separately in the form of a torch. fold over
one end on each torch. insert these sheets of
newspaper into the pipe (#6) with the folded ends
at the top. return the bottom grid and cover with
dry charcoal (do not use too much charcoal in
the bowl (max. 50%, basic: max. 0,7kg, optima:
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
max. 1 kg, major: max. 1,7kg, arena: max.
1,7kg)).
open the air supply with the air control (#7) and
light the newspapers through these openings
with the help of a long match. burning paper
is all it takes to light the charcoal. the high
smoke output during the lighting process is
due to the newspaper. after about 15 minutes
your Barbecook
charcoal will then be covered with a fine layer of
grey ashes).
we recommend that you wait to install the
cooking grid (#2) on the barbecue until it is ready
for use.
®
C) First use :
When using your Barbecook
we strongly recommend that you leave it to burn
for 30 minutes without cooking meals.
this burn-in period is necessary.
D) Regulating the fire :
the fire intensity can be easily adjusted by
opening or closing the air supply (#7).
E) Moving the barbecue :
Only for Optima, Major, Arena.
the accessory bracket (#3) has two additional
functions. on the one hand it prevents you from
coming into direct contact with the hot kettle (#4)
and on the other hand, after use and after having
removed the grid, you can put the bracket upright
and use it as a handle to pick up and move
the barbecue. this can only be done once the
barbecue has fully cooled.
