Instructions for the User
9.4 Switching on
To check that the burners inside the barbecue 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 radiant grill, 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 burner ignition
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (see “The control panel” on page 36). To light the
flame, simply press the knob and turn it anti-clockwise to the minimum flame symbol . 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.
9.4.2 Manual burner ignition (for internal burners only)
The burner it controls is shown next to each knob (see “The control panel”
on page 36).
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 appears when any burner control knob is pressed, the battery may need changing.
For instructions for this procedure, see point “9.1 Fitting and changing the battery”.
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.
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 points “9.4.1 Electronic burner ignition” 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.

41
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 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 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 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 at the maximum setting and the lid 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
especially thick and/or fatty foods which could result in high flaming if cooked directly due to the fat
dripping onto the refractory plates.
11.2 Vegetables
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 grids must always be preheated for 5/10 minutes.
42
11.2.1 Direct cooking
After preheating, turn the burners down to the minimum setting and 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.
• When cooking with the plate, preheating lasting 15’ is recommended.
• 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’.
• 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.

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 ceramic plates
The ceramic plates are made from refractory material and are therefore fragile; handle with care to avoid
breakage.
After each use, the burners should be operated with no food present at the maximum power for 10/15
minutes, to allow the plates to eliminate the food and grease residues accumulated during cooking.
Following this procedure after each use will keep the plates in peak condition over time.
Important: after prolonged and/or fatty cooking processes, it is best to remove excess fat from the
plates with a brush. Finish by cleaning the appliance as indicated above.
To keep the plates always clean and in optimal working order, they should be turned periodically so that
a different side faces towards the burners. The heat of the flames burns off the food and grease residues
that build up during cooking.
The refractory plates must only be fitted underneath the grids and not underneath the stainless
steel plate.

Instructions for the User
12.2.2 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 continuous contact between the grids and the flame may cause the steel to lose its shine in the
areas exposed to heat over time. This is an absolutely natural phenomenon which does not impair this
component's operation at all. To reduce the yellowing of the grids, we recommend cleaning with Crema
inox and a non-abrasive sponge.
The grids are dishwasher-friendly.
After thorough cleaning, operate the appliance to burn off detergent residues.
12.2.3 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, the two fixing screws A must first be removed. The burners can then be
removed from their bases in the front of the appliance (Detail B) for more thorough cleaning. To
reassemble the burners, fit the front into the hole (detail B) and retighten the screws A.
12.3 Cleaning the dripping pans
After cooking, and after leaving the appliance to cool for at least two hours, extract the dripping
pans, into which a thin layer of water has 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 pans with
suitable non-abrasive products and put them back in place.
12.4 Cleaning the glass of the lid
After cooking, after allowing the appliance to cook for at least two hours after cooking finishes,
clean the glass of the lid with kitchen roll. Remove stubborn dirt with a damp sponge and ordinary
detergent.
WARNING: BEFORE CLEANING THE GLASS OF THE LID, ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO COOL
FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS AFTER COOKING FINISHES.
Do not use abrasive or corrosive cleaners for cleaning the glass of the lid.
Do not use rough or abrasive materials or sharp metal scrapers to clean the glass of the lid since
they may scratch the surface and cause the glass to shatter.
