BURNER CONTROL KNOB
These knobs can be used to light the burners inside the barbecue.
To light the flame, proceed as described in point “9.3.1 Electronic burner
ignition”. Burners can also be lit by hand; see point “9.3.2 Manual burner
ignition (for internal burners only)” for further details.
AUXILIARY / RAPID BURNER CONTROL KNOB (Models BQ6130 - BQ6130S only)
These knobs can be used to light the Auxiliary or Rapid
side burners. These burners are useful for conventional
cooking or for keeping barbecued food hot.
To light the flame, proceed as described in point “9.3.1
Electronic burner ignition”.
This appliance is not fitted with a safety valve for internal burners. It therefore must never be left
unattended when in operation. If you notice that the flames have gone out, turn the knobs to the OFF
position AT ONCE and wait a few minutes before attempting to ignite the burners again.
The lid (if fitted) must always be kept open while the burners are being lit. It can be lowered once they
have ignited and must be raised as soon as the thermometer fitted on it reaches 300°C. Take care not to
obstruct the combustion gas outlet flue in the back of the lid.
When the appliance is used for the first time, operate all the burners for 15 minutes with nothing on them
and with the lid (where fitted) open to burn off any oils and manufacturing residues.
WARNING: TO PREVENT COMBUSTION OF RESIDUE FROM PREVIOUS USE OF THE
BARBECUE, CLEAN THE DRIPPING PAN, BURNER COMPARTMENT, CERAMIC PLATES AND
THE BURNERS THEMSELVES BEFORE EACH USE.
33
Instructions for the User
9. USING THE BARBECUE
9.1 Fitting and changing the battery
Some models in this product range have a compartment to take one 1.5 V AA
PENCIL battery to supply the burner ignition plugs.
To fit or change the battery, follow the instructions provided below, referring to
the diagram:
• remove the dripping pan;
• access the battery compartment through the opening in the front panel
(see diagram);
• unscrew the cap A and remove the seal B;
• replace the battery C with another of the same type;
• take care that the battery poles correspond (see diagram on the right);
• replace the seal B and screw the cap A back on.
If no spark appears when any burner control knob is pressed, the battery may need changing.
Caution: flat batteries must not be dumped at random or disposed of with other waste. They must be
collected separately and consigned to your local waste disposal company, or disposed of in the special
containers provided for old batteries.
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.
If the barbecue is to be out of use for a long time, the battery must be removed to prevent possible
oxidation of its compartment.
9.2 Positioning the grids
On the rear of the barbecue, the grids can be set
at two different heights. These two levels allow
them to be set at different gradients to increase or
reduce the drainage of fats or liquids.
Level 2 is recommended when cooking
particularly fatty foods and level 1 for other foods.
Cooking can only be carried out with all the grids
fitted correctly. 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.
34
Before starting to cook, always check that the grids are correctly positioned.
Instructions for the User
9.3 Switching on
To check that the burners 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 rapid or auxiliary burners, keep the knob pressed down for about 2 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.
9.3.1 Electronic burner ignition
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (See “The control panel” on page 32). To light the
flame, simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame value and press the
ignition button. 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.
9.3.2 Manual burner ignition (for internal burners only)
The barbecue's internal burners can be lit using a long match or with the aid of a piezoelectric kitchen
lighter. Lift the plate above the burner to be lit, place the lit match or piezoelectric lighter next to the
burner and turn its control knob to the maximum flame setting. Take great care not to allow large
amounts of unburnt gas to escape. If the burner has not lit after 3 seconds, turn the knob to OFF and
repeat the operation a few minutes later.
When lighting more than one burner by hand, the most efficient method is to light the central burner as
described above and then turn the knobs of the burners next to the one just lit to use the inter-ignition
function. Burner inter-ignition is possible if one or more adjacent burners are lit.
Before removing the grid to light the burner by hand, make sure that it is not hot.
If the burner does not light even in manual mode after a few attempts, call the after-sales service.
9.4 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.
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.
Fit it into the holes provided in the back panel.
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 (if fitted) 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 minimum heat
for at least 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Quick preheating (about 10 minutes)
is recommended for thin pieces of meat (chops, slices of bacon, spare ribs, etc.). Lengthier preheating
(about 15 minutes) is recommended for thicker pieces of meat (large, fatty steaks, whole chickens, etc.).
In both cases, the lid (if fitted) 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
dripping fats. 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 on the minimum setting and the lid (where fitted) 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
particular thick and/or fatty items.
11.2 Vegetables
As for meat, when cooking vegetables it is best to preheat the burners at the minimum setting with the lid
(where present) closed. However, in this case the grids must always be preheated for 15 minutes.
36
11.2.1 Direct cooking
After preheating, 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.
• 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’.
• During direct cooking (meat or fish), if the fierce heat burns the food, turn the burners down using the
knob or move the food.
• Keep the lid (where fitted) closed during cooking.

Instructions for the User
12.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For the best, most thorough cleaning, we recommend the use of fairly mild products; use cream-type
stainless steel cleaners. SMEG brand products, which guarantee optimal cleaning of your appliance, are
available from authorised service centres.
Protective gloves should be worn when cleaning internal steel parts of the appliance.
12.1 Cleaning the exterior (stainless steel)
To keep the appliance in good condition, the outside and inside parts and accessories should be
cleaned regularly after each use, after allowing them to cool.
For optimal, in-depth cleaning of your barbecue, wear protective gloves and use specific degreasing
cleaners for stainless steel.
SMEG brand products, which guarantee optimal cleaning of your appliance, are available from
authorised service centres (Puliforno and Crema inox).
12.1.1 Routine cleaning
When cleaning and caring for external stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific
products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.
Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers; they will damage the stainless steel. Use
ordinary non-abrasive products, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary.
Instructions for use: spray the product straight onto the dirty surfaces several times.
Wipe with a non-abrasive sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. For the best results,
allow the degreasing detergent to act for some time. To eliminate yellowing, pour Crema inox
onto a paper cloth and rub in the direction of the satin-finish.
12.2 Cleaning the internal barbecue components
12.2.1 The grids
For the best results, clean the grids when still warm. Wearing heat-resistant gloves, dip them in water
and then scrub them with a brass-bristle brush to remove any food residues. Complete cleaning by
washing the grids with a degreasing detergent and rinse thoroughly.
The grids are dishwasher-friendly.
After thorough cleaning, operate the appliance to burn off detergent residues.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO REMOVE ALL RESIDUES FROM ONE COOKING PROCESS
BEFORE STARTING THE NEXT.

12.2.2 The burners
Check regularly that the burners are igniting completely and no gas outlet holes are clogged.
If you notice that a burner is not igniting completely, blowing it with compressed air may be sufficient to
clear dust or spiders' webs from the clogged holes. If this is not sufficient, the burners can be dismantled
for more thorough cleaning, for example by poking a pin through the clogged holes and blowing
compressed air straight into the burner.
To dismantle the burners, unscrew the fixing screw
A. The burners can then be removed a few
centimetres from their bases (in the front of the
appliance, detail B), taking care not to damage the
ignition cable. Remove the clip (C) and extract the
burner ignition plug. This allows the burner to be
completely removed from the interior of the
barbecue for thorough cleaning.
After cleaning, put the burners back in place,
taking care to fit the ignition plug as shown and
secure it with the clip (C) removed earlier. Fit the
burner into place (B) and secure it with the screw
(A).
12.3 Cleaning the dripping pan
After cooking, (taking great care), extract the dripping pan, into which a thin layer of water may have
been poured before cooking started, and pour the fats into a container from which they can then be
disposed of appropriately. The oil or fat produced by cooking meat and fish must never be poured down
drains or sinks, for example. It must be disposed of correctly in special containers or delivered to the
regulation collection points. Clean the dripping pan with suitable non-abrasive products and put it back in
place.
