Instructions for the User

9.3 Grid and plate positions

Before starting to cook, always check that the grids, refractory plates and stainless steel / cast iron plate

are correctly positioned. The diagram illustrates the correct positions for the plates A and grids B.

The self-cleaning refractory plates (A) must be fitted on the rests 1 and 2 shown below.

The grids (B) or the stainless steel / cast iron plate (C) have two rests of different heights at the rear (3

and 4) on which they can be placed. This means they can be moved closer to or further from the

refractory plates (A) depending on the heat level required, and also to use the fat for cooking by tilting

them if so desired.

Only in the configuration shown in the figure, with all the plates and grids correctly installed, can the

barbecues be used for cooking: any other configuration is a source of hazard to the user and can

compromise the operation of the appliance as well as damaging its exterior.

The refractory plates (A) must only be fitted underneath the grids (B) and not underneath the

stainless steel/cast iron plate (C).

Take care not to obstruct the combustion gas outlet flue in the back of the lid.

Instructions for the User

9.4 Switching on

To check that the burners inside the barbecue have ignited, hold one of your hands about 10 cm above

the grids: you should feel a gradually increasing amount of heat.

When lighting the radiant grill, rapid or auxiliary burners, keep the knob pressed down for about 5

seconds to allow the thermocouple to heat up. The burner may go out when the knob is released: this

means that the thermocouple has not warmed up enough. Repeat the operation, keeping the knob

pressed down for longer.

If the burners have not ignited after several attempts, wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the

appliance again. This pause is necessary to allow any gas which has built up inside the appliance to

disperse. If no flame is obtained even after numerous attempts, contact your nearest authorised service

centre.

9.4.1 Electronic burner ignition

The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (see “The control panel” on page 36). To light the

flame, simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol . To adjust the

flame, turn the knob to the zone between the maximum ( ) and the minimum ( ) settings. To turn off

the burner, turn the knob back to the OFF position.

9.4.2 Manual burner ignition (for internal burners only)

The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (see “The control panel”

on page 36).

Each model has holes in the side (see right) to allow the burners to be lit by

hand.

To ignite the two side burners by hand, turn the knob to the highest setting

and place a lit match close to the ignition hole. The central burner can be lit

in manual mode from another burner: light the right or left-hand burner and

turn the central burner knob to the maximum setting. If the burner does not

light within 10/15 seconds, wait a few minutes and repeat the procedure.

If no spark appears when any burner control knob is pressed, the battery may need changing.

For instructions for this procedure, see point “9.1 Fitting and changing the battery”.

If the battery is new and still no spark is produced, do not attempt to use the appliance and contact your

nearest authorised service centre.

9.5 Using the SMOKER tray

The SMOKER tray is designed to give the meat special fragrances by using pieces of aromatic wood,

available from specialist outlets. When preparing wood for this purpose, always follow the instructions

provided on the pack.

It is very easy to use. Pull out the tray, taking care not to drop it, fill it with your chosen aromatic wood (do

not overfill to prevent pieces falling out of the tray when it is opened or closed), close it and light the

burners as described in points “9.4.1 Electronic burner ignition” and “9.4.2 Manual burner ignition (for

internal burners only)”. Remember to set the burners at minimum heat and keep the wood damp as long

as cooking is in progress.

The wood in the SMOKER tray is heated directly by the heat generated by the burners close to the tray.

The SMOKER tray may become hot during use. Do not touch it with unprotected hands.

Instructions for the User

10.STANDARD ACCESSORIES

9.6 Pan diameters

Rapid Burner pans with diameter from 18 cm to 26 cm can be used on this burner.

Auxiliary Burner pans with diameter from 12 cm to 16 cm can be used on this burner.

Pans of different sizes might put the user’s safety at risk and adversely affect the appliance’s

performance, as well as damaging its exterior.

Food warmer shelf: useful for keeping food hot after

cooking. Hang this shelf on the back of the barbecue,

above the burners.

Rotisserie rod: useful for cooking chicken and all foods

which require uniform cooking over their entire surface.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE: Prepare the rotisserie rod with

the food, tightening the screws A (for both prongs and

kebab spits). Set the rotisserie rod on the barbecue so that

it fits into the seats provided. Then fit the rod into the

rotisserie motor. When the food is cooked, if you wish to

remove the rod from its place use the handle provided,

screwing it onto the thread. Take care when removing the

rod since it might still be hot; wear heat-proof gloves if

necessary.

Stainless steel plate: for use during specific cooking

processes to eliminate the grilling effect (for more details of

cooking procedures, see “11. COOKING ADVICE” on page

42.

Not all accessories are provided on some models.

Additional optional accessories are also available from our authorised service centres.

Instructions for the User

11.COOKING ADVICE

Some hints and recommendations for getting the best results from your barbecue are provided below.

However, remember that cooking times and heat levels have to be modified to suit the user's taste.

Direct cooking: when the meat or vegetables are cooked directly on the grid underneath which the

burner is lit.

Indirect cooking: when the meat or vegetables are cooked on the grid next to the lit burner.

During indirect cooking the lid must be left closed and only opened if the temperature exceeds 300°C.

Close it again after 5 minutes have passed.

Water should be poured into the dripping pan for more succulent cooking results and to simplify cleaning

of the barbecue after use.

11.1 Meat

Before any meat cooking procedures, the grids must be preheated with the burners lit at the maximum

setting for at least 5-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Quick preheating (about 5

minutes) is recommended for thin pieces of meat (chops, slices of bacon, spare ribs, etc.). Lengthier

preheating (about 10 minutes) is recommended for thicker pieces of meat (large, fatty steaks, whole

chickens, etc.). In both cases, the lid must be kept closed during preheating.

11.1.1 Direct cooking

In general, when cooking meat over direct heat the burners must be set on the maximum setting, while

for fish and vegetables they must be set on medium / minimum power.

The cooking time varies depending on the thickness of the food and personal taste.

For best results when grilling, brown the outside at maximum heat then use the knobs to turn the burners

down to a medium / minimum setting to allow the meat to cook right through without burning on the

outside.

The appearance of flames, when cooking pork (i.e. fatty foods) in particular, is normal and is caused by

fat dripping onto the stones. Do not worry, but move the food being cooked to another part of the grid.

To allow this, it is best not to fill the whole grid with food for cooking.

11.1.2 Indirect cooking

After preheating the grids with the burners at the maximum setting and the lid closed, place the meat on

a grid next to the lit burner. On the 90 cm barbecue, for example, the meat can be placed on the central

grid after the side burners have been ignited.

The advantage of indirect cooking is that the heat is less fierce. Start cooking with the burners on the

minimum setting then gradually increase over time.

Naturally, it takes considerably longer than direct cooking, but excellent results will be assured.

Indirect cooking is suited for large cuts of meat or fish, such as: roasts, whole chickens, lamb or

especially thick and/or fatty foods which could result in high flaming if cooked directly due to the fat

dripping onto the refractory plates.

11.2 Vegetables

As for meat, when cooking vegetables it is best to preheat the burners at the maximum setting with the

lid closed. However, in this case the grids must always be preheated for 5/10 minutes.

11.2.1 Direct cooking

After preheating, turn the burners down to the minimum setting and arrange the vegetables on the grid.

Given the type of food, the knobs should be kept turned to the minimum setting.

11.4 Cooking recommendations

• Always preheat at the minimum setting.

• When cooking with the plate, preheating lasting 15’ is recommended.

• For processes requiring fiercer grilling, preheat the burners for 15’.

• Preheating for indirect cooking is performed by igniting the burner where the food is to be placed for

5' at the minimum setting and the other burners at maximum setting for 10’.

• Keep the lid closed during cooking.

• During direct cooking (meat or fish), if the fierce heat burns the food, turn the burners down using the

knob or move the food.
