Take care not to obstruct the combustion gas outlet flue in the back of the lid.
9.4 Lighting
To check that the burners inside the barbecue have ignited, hold one of your hands about 10 cm above
the racks: you should feel a gradually increasing amount of heat.
When lighting the radiant grill or 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 lighting of the burners
Next to each knob the corresponding burner is indicated ( See “The control panel” on page 35). To light
the flame, simply push down and turn the knob anti-clockwise to the minimum flame setting . To adjust
the flame, turn the knob to the zone between the maximum ( ) and minimum ( ) settings. To turn off
the burner, turn the knob 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 35).
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 is produced when any of the burner control knobs is pressed, it may be necessary to replace
the power battery.
For instructions on this operation see “9.1 Insertion and replacement of the battery”.
If the battery is new but no spark is generated, do not attempt to use the appliance and contact the
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 “9.4.1 Electronic lighting of the burners” 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
Food warmer shelf: useful for keeping food hot after
cooking. Hang this shelf on the back of the barbecue,
above the burners.
Rotisserie rod: 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 HINTS” on page
42.
TO AVOID OVERHEATING, DO NOT USE TWO STAINLESS STEEL/CAST IRON PLATES (C) AT
THE SAME TIME.
Some models are not provided with all accessories.
Additional optional accessories are also available from our authorised service centres.

Instructions for the user
42
11.COOKING HINTS
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 rack underneath which the
burner is lit.
Indirect cooking: when the meat or vegetables are cooked on the rack 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 racks 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 rack.
To allow this, it is best not to fill the whole rack with food for cooking.
11.1.2Indirect cooking
After preheating the racks with the burners at the maximum setting and the lid closed, place the meat on
a rack next to the lit burner. On the 90 cm barbecue, for example, the meat can be placed on the central
rack 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 suitable 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 stones.
11.2 Vegetables
In the same way 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 racks 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 rack.
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 for 15 minutes is recommended.
• For processes requiring fiercer grilling, preheat the burners for 15 minutes.
• Preheat for indirect cooking by igniting the burner where the food is to be placed for 5 minutes at the
minimum setting and the other burners at the maximum setting for 10 minutes.
• 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.
