to use only half of the grid, by lighting only one side of the
burner.

the food residue or grease on the grid or on the lava rock

necessary to reduce the number of items being cooked on the
cooking grid and spread them out over several cooking batches
in succession.
o) Cleaning and maintenance
- Never modify the barbecue: any modification may prove
dangerous.
- In order to maintain your barbecue in perfect operating
condition, it is recommended to clean it periodically (after 4
or 5 uses).
- Wait until the barbecue has cooled down before cleaning.
- Close the gas cylinder.
- The grill burner must be cleaned and checked every 3
months. Remove the entire burner and check that no dirt or
spider webs block the venturi tube openings, which may cause
the burner to be less efficient or cause a dangerous gas fire
outside the burner.
- Clean the top of the burner, as well as the sides and base,
using a moist sponge (water with washing up liquid). If
necessary, use a damp steel brush.
- Check that all burner outlets are clear and let dry before
using again. If necessary, use a wire brush to unclog the
burner outlets.
- Clean the orifices on the Venturi jet (see diagram below) or
the burner if necessary.
If your barbecue is
equipped with a burner cap
(illustrated above), when
cooking fat meat (chicken,
duck, sausages, etc.), the
burners should be set to
the minimum flow position
( )to reduce flaring up of
cooking fats. It may also be
N.B.: Frequent cleaning of the burner maintains it in good
condition for many uses and prevents premature oxidation,
notably due to acid residue from cooking. Oxidation of the grill
burner is, however, normal.
- Base walls, lid (depending on model), cooking grids,
control panel:
Clean these elements from time to time using a sponge with
washing up liquid. Do not use abrasive products. Do not clean
the grids in a self-cleaning oven; the extreme heat may damage
the chrome plated parts.
- Glass window (depending on model):
Clean from time to time using a glass-cleaning product. If
difficult to clean, remove the glass from its lid and clean it with
an oven cleaning product.
p) Storage
- Close the gas cylinder valve after use.
- If you store your barbecue indoors, disconnect the gas
cylinder and store the cylinder outdoors.
- If you store your barbecue outdoors, it is recommended that
a protective cover be used.
- When not used for a long period of time, it is recommended
that the barbecue be stored in a dry, sheltered place (eg:
garage). Store the lava rocks in a dry place
q) Lava rock
- The lava rock should be replaced when it becomes heavily
coated in grease or when eroded so that it falls through the
lower grid. This will only happen after it has been used many
times.
Spread the lava rock evenly in a single layer. Do not pile
the rock up and leave a few millimetres between each
rock to allow air to pass through.
Do not use charcoal in place or in addition to the lava
rock provided.
- Use replacement lava rock from Campingaz. We cannot
accept responsability should other lava rock be used, which
could be dangerous to the user.
- Keep the lava rock dry. Do not use wet or damp lava rock,
first allow it to dry in a sheltered area.
r) Glass window (depending on model)
Avoid thermal shocks (cold water in contact with a hot glass
window). Prevent flames from reaching the interior surface of
the glass window (if this happens, lower the flame).
s) Accessories
ADG advises that
systematically be
replacement parts from Campingaz. ADG accepts no
responsibility for any damage or malfunction due to
the use of accessories and/or replacement parts from
other brands.
