E – USAGE RECOMMENDATION
- Spread the charcoal evenly on the charcoal grate (5). Do
not overfill the firebox (50% maximum).
GB
- Use a spatula and tongs rather than a fork. Piercing the
food is not recommended. This makes juices run out and
the food will lose taste and dry out.
- A light application of oil will enable you to brown food
evenly and prevent it from sticking to the cooking grill.
Always apply oil directly on food (using a brush) and not
on the cooking grill.
- To obtain a stronger smoked flavor, add wood chips or
fresh herbs which have been moistened (rosemary,
thyme, laurel). Place the wood chips or moistened herbs
directly on the charcoal before starting to cook.
- During use, you can hook the lid at the rear of the
receptacle on the hook designed for this purpose.
F - USAGE
1) Remove the lid and open all aeration flaps (3) before
preparing the fire. To ensure proper air circulation,
remove accumulated ashes from the bottom of the
barbecue. Charcoal needs oxygen to burn. It is therefore
important to make sure that the aeration flaps (3) are
not blocked.
2) You can remove residual ashes from the ash container
by lifting one side of the hearth grill (2) (Bonesco SC
and Bonesco LC).
3) Replace the hearth grill (2).
4) Put charcoal meeting the EN1860-2 standard in the
hearth (5) on the hearth grill (2). Do not overfill the
receptacle:
• 1 kg of charcoal is enough for the Bonesco QST S
• 1.5 kg is enough for the Bonesco QST L.
we recommend filling the firebox not more than 50% of
its capacity.
5) Open the gas by turning the adjustment wheel all the
way in a counterclockwise direction (toward the "+" on
the arrow). Push on the red lighter button (
Fig. 1 below). The characteristic sound of the burner
will indicate that it has been lighted. If lighting does not
occur on the first try, repeat the steps.
Fig. 1
6) If lighting has not occurred after three tries, stop the flow
of gas by turning the adjustment wheel in a clockwise
direction (position l; see Fig. 2 below). Wait one minute
and repeat the steps.
7) The charcoal reddens quickly in the lighting area,
then a red glow spreads throughout the charcoal. (7)
For charcoal barbecues, it is recommended to heat
up the barbecue and wait for the charcoal has been
glowing for 30 minutes (charcoal totally covered by a
film of ashes) before starting to cook;
8) The QST system enables 1 kg of charcoal to be lighted
in 10 minutes. If you would like to add more charcoal
(we suggest 1.5kg for the QST L model), you can keep
the burner on for 15 minutes. Time may vary depending
on the type of charcoal. Charcoal in large chunks
(restaurant size) facilitates lighting, charcoal in small
chunks is more difficult to light.
9) We recommend mixing the charcoal during the gas
ignition process 1 or 2 times with a tong or charcoal
slider in order to speed-up the process and to allow an
evenly ignited charcoal.
10) Extinguish the gas burner by turning
the adjustment wheel (1) in a clockwise
direction (position l) after a maximum of
15 minutes (Fig. 2)
Fig. 2
Please note: If you do not wish to use gas to light your
barbecue, pile charcoal in the center of the cooking
receptacle. Put starters or crushed newspapers under
the pile of charcoal, then light the pile (use only starters
compliant with the EN1860-3 standard).
11) Do not start to cook until the charcoal is covered with
a film of ashes. When the charcoal is covered with a
film of light gray ash, use tongs to distribute it evenly
around the receptacle.
12) You can either place your food on the cooking grill (1)
and then place the grill over the hearth (5) or first place
the grill over the hearth and then put the food on it. In
both cases, use gloves.
13) You can control charcoal glow and temperature by
using the aeration flap control tab (6):
• Toward the right (+) increases the opening and the
charcoal temperature.
• Toward the left (-) decreases the opening and the
charcoal temperature.
) (see
14) The temperature of the cooking grill is not uniform. The
center of the grill is hotter than the outside. Use the
center to brown food and reduce cooking time. Use the
outside to cook more slowly and/or to keep food warm.
15) You can also use the lid for oven-type cooking.
G - REMOVING THE CARTRIDGE
N.B.: Do not change the cylinder if the charcoal is still
glowing. The cartridge may be removed even if it is
not empty. Replace the cartridge outside and away
from other people.
- Wait for the barbecue to cool down.
- Check that the gas supply is fully turned off by turning
the control wheel clockwise to its full extent (position l)
(see Fig. 2 above).
- Hold the equipment, then unscrew the cartridge by
turning it anti-clockwise and remove it.
Never throw away a cartridge which is not completely empty,
(check there is no liquid in the cartridge by shaking it).
