COOKING

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Place the Delecto barbecue on a stable and level
surface before use.
• Use natural dry hardwood only. Softwood, treat-
ed wood or contaminated wood can be harmful
and/or damage your Woodflame appliance.
• Never leave the Delecto unattended when hot or
in use.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• BURN HAZARD
- Always wear oven mitts when you cook on the
Delecto.
- Always use a long-stemmed lighter or match
to light the fire starter and use tongs when
adding wood blocks to the burner.
- Always set the electronic fan control to "off"
when the grates are opened.
- Never lean over the Delecto barbecue or have
your face, part of your body or your clothing
directly above the Delecto barbecue while it is
operating.
- When handling the Delecto barbecue, always
hold it by the handles. Never touch the casing,
lid, grates, burner or handle holder while the
barbecue is hot. Wait until parts have com-
pletely cooled off before handling.
• Never operate the barbecue when the thermal
shield is not in place around the burner.
• Never operate the barbecue with lid completely
closed.
THE FIRST TIME YOU USE THE DELECTO BARBECUE, LET IT HEAT
FOR 20 MINUTES WITH THE LID IN THE WIND-GUARD POSITION,
TO BURN OFF THE PROTECTIVE COATING.
Lighting
1 Place fire starter (e.g. Woodflame ecological fire starter)
in the burner.
IMPORTANT: Never use firelighting liquid.
Note: Some fire starters may give an undesirable taste to
the food you cook.
2 Light the fire starter with a long-stemmed lighter or
match and allow to burn for 20 to 30 seconds.
3 Once fire starter is burning well, using tongs, place the
hardwood on the fire starter. Make sure no wood blocks
protrude above the burner, so the grates close easily.
4 Start the fan at MINIMUM and gradually turn it up to
increase the amount of air fed into the burner.
5 As soon as the wood ignites, close the grates by sliding
them together until they touch in the centre.
Leave control at MAXIMUM level for about two minutes
until grate surface is hot enough to sear the food.
6 Using the electronic control, select the required fan
speed to obtain the appropriate cooking temperature
for your food.

Adding wood during cooking
Check from time to time to see how much wood is left in the burner, and if necessary
add more to ensure that the heat diffuses evenly under the grates.
1 Turn the fan down to minimum or shut it off completely.
2 Grasp the grates by the handles and slide them gently outwards until the bump
underneath stops them.
3 Using tongs, grasp the wood blocks and place them in the burner. As when
lighting, ensure that no blocks protrude above the burner, so that the grates
close easily.
Immediately close the grates by sliding them inwards until they touch in the
4
centre.
Turn up the fan to maximum to ignite the fresh wood. As soon as it ignites,
5
adjust the fan to the desired intensity.
Turning off the appliance
To turn off the appliance, press the on/off push button. The flames will go out.
TIP
To accelerate the cooling of the unit, leave the fan running for a while even after
all the wood has finished burning.
