DESCRIPTION
OF APPLIANCE
Wood pieces are placed in the burner, which is insulated with a thermal shield.
Combustion in the burner is so efficient that only a pinch of ash is left after
cooking.
The fan blows air into the burner, fuelling high-temperature combustion of the
wood pieces.
Nine fan settings give you precise control over the heat levels.
The Woodflame Delecto is equipped with collector trays under the grates that
provide excellent cooking control by eliminating flare-ups from drippings.
Ready for cooking in two minutes!

ASSEMBLY
Assembling the feet
Note: Make sure feet are installed with notches facing towards the front of the unit
and towards the centre.
Assemble one foot at a time using an identical approach for each.
A) Insert nipples at the top of the foot into the rubber caskets on the underside of the
casing and push foot firmly into place.
B) Place nut inside the hollow part as shown in illustration B (the shape of the nut
is visible in the moulding) and hold in place with finger.
C) Using the other hand, insert washer and bolt from the inside of the casing as
illustrated. Start screwing bolt by hand for first few turns then tighten using
the screwdriver.
D) Repeat steps B and C for second bolt.
Assembling the lid
A) Attach the handle to the lid with the two screws provided.
B) Insert the ends of the swivel rod one at a time in the slots at the rear of
the casing, pushing the rod towards the centre.
C) Place the lid in the wind-guard position by inserting the lid side stops in
the notches on the casing. To achieve this, simply slide the lid towards
the back and drop it in place. Lifting the lid completely to drop it in the
notches makes it harder to put in place.

Assembling the control module
A) Insert the air intake tunnel at the rear of the control module ensuring that the
notch in the casing is aligned with the corresponding ridge in the tunnel. Failing
to align the tunnel properly, insufficient air will be blown in the burner and very
poor performance will follow.
B) Slide the control module into the notches on the top of the feet, inserting first
the left side then the right. Check that the air intake tunnel is properly centred
and in contact with the rubber ring in the casing.
C) Where access to household current is available, simply plug the 110V or 220V
adapter supplied in a wall outlet and in the unit.
Note: A 12V to 6V adapter is also available as an option to use power from
vehicles, boats, etc.
D)Where no household current is available and for complete autonomy and
portability, insert four "D" (1.5V) batteries in the control module compartment. To
open the compartment, pull on the tab (point 1) and open in the direction of the
arrow (point 2). Close the compartment cover by pressing on the tab.

OPERATION
Wood-fire cooking is not the same as gas or
charcoal cooking. The techniques are different
and the flavours are exquisite. It is strongly
suggested that all new users of the Delecto
familiarize themselves with the Woodflame
technology by reading the following section.
Electronic control
The electronic control lets you adjust the fan setting and heat level.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Using a power adapter other than a Woodflame
adapter may damage the Delecto’s electronic
control.
• Always keep the adapter cord well away from all
hot surfaces.
WARNING
• Always ensure all electric cords are placed in
a way that will prevent tripping in them and
possibly causing serious accidents.
• Using accessories other than those sold or
recommended by the manufacturer may damage
the appliance. Parts damaged under these
circumstances are not guaranteed by the
manufacturer.
Power supply
The electronic control is powered by the Woodflame adapter (110V
or 220V) or four 1.5V "D" batteries (not included).
Your Woodflame appliance may also be plugged into a vehicle cigarette lighter (car, boat, etc.), using the 12V adapter sold separately.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Place the Delecto barbecue on a stable and level
surface before use.
• Use natural dry hardwood only. Softwood, treated 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 completely 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.
COOKING
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
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.
Light the fire starter with a long-stemmed lighter or
match and allow to burn for 20 to 30 seconds.
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.
Start the fan at MINIMUM and gradually turn it up to
increase the amount of air fed into the burner.
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.
Using the electronic control, select the required fan
speed to obtain the appropriate cooking temperature
for your food.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Until they have completely cooled down,
never place the grates on surfaces that could
be damaged by hot metal.
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not touch the grate.
• Never pour water or other liquids into the
appliance.
• Do not discard hot ash.
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.
Turn the fan down to minimum or shut it off completely.
Grasp the grates by the handles and slide them gently outwards until the bump
underneath stops them.
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
centre.
Turn up the fan to maximum to ignite the fresh wood. As soon as it ignites,
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.
Safety feature
The Delecto is equipped with a safety feature designed to prevent it from operating
unnecessarily. It is programmed to cut out after 30 minutes. The electronic control
indicator lights start blinking five minutes before the Delecto cuts out automatically. To restart the Delecto, just press one of the electronic control push buttons.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Never pour oil or flammable liquids into the
collector trays.
• Never use the Delecto for frying food in oil.
• When pouring liquid into the collector trays, use
the right amount to ensure it does not overflow.
Excess liquid may run into the burner and block
the holes underneath.
• Always cook with the grates closed unless you
are cooking with a pan or other container.
• Always keep the electronic fan control at the
lowest setting when the grates are partly open
and no pots or pans are on the barbecue or when
adding wood.
• If fat were to catch fire in the collector trays,
immediately shut off the fan and close the lid.
Do not attempt to remove the grate or the food
as severe burns could ensue or a fire could be
started through burning fat drips.

COOKING
TECHNIQUES
Grilling
Because the Delecto cooks so efficiently, it sears foods thoroughly and seals in all
the delicious juices, with succulent results. Meat fish and vegetables can be placed
directly on the grates and will cook easily in the wood-fire heat.
Flavouring food with wine, beer or other liquids
The Woodflame Delecto barbecue has a collector tray under each grate. These trays
serve a dual purpose: when the Delecto is ready for cooking, you can pour a little
water, wine, beer or stock through the grate into each tray, to add subtle flavours
to the food. Never use liquids with higher than 25% alcohol content as this could
catch fire. The collector trays also eliminate flare-ups from fat melting and dripping
into the fire.
Smoking food with different wood essences
To smoke the food, turn the fan off for the last few minutes of cooking and lower
the lid to the semi-closed position, allowing the food to absorb the delicious flavour
of wood smoke.
TIP
To give special flavour to your food, turn fan off at end of cooking and add
damp wood chips (apple, hickory, etc.) in the burner, let smolder for a few
minutes until desired taste is reached.
A few suggestions for combining wood essences and food:
Wood Essences Fish Poultry Red Meat Vegetables
Oak •
Pecan • • •
Walnut • •
Apple • •
Alder • •
Cherry • •
Maple • •
Mesquite • • •
Frying and boiling
The Delecto is so efficient that you can do all sorts of things with it. The range of
fan settings allows you to fry eggs, boil water in minutes, or simmer on low heat.
Before you try these types of cooking, make sure the Delecto is absolutely stable.
Then separate the grates in the middle so the flame can reach the underside of the
pot or pan. Place the Dutch oven, sauce pan, wok or skillet on the grates and adjust
the fan to the desired settings.
LID POSITIONS
CLOSED
Never close the lid completely during cooking:
the intense heat will burn your food and may
damage the appliance.
The lid should only be closed during transportation
and storage of the Delecto barbecue.
SEMI-CLOSED
For cooking at low heat or smoking food at the end
of the cooking period, place the lid in semi-closed
position. This position is also appropriate for short
high temperature cleaning (see Cleaning section).
WIND-GUARD POSITION
The lid should be in this position for lighting, and
for cooking at medium or high heat.

Cleaning
TIP
Allow remaining wood or a small piece of wood to burn at high temperature
once you are done cooking. This will burn off food and fat remains which will
then be easily removed with a brass BBQ brush.
BURNER
Lift out the burner and empty the ash into a metal container or bowl of water.
Brush out the bottom of the burner with the brush provided,
to ensure the air intake holes are not blocked.
GRATES
Care of stainless steel grates
Use a soft cloth or sponge to prevent scratches and marring of the stainless steel
grates.
Care of nickel-plated grates
Clean with a damp cloth, or a nylon or brass BBQ brush. Separate the grates and
collector trays before washing the trays in the dishwasher (there is no need to
remove the handles).
It is normal for the steel grates – both stainless steel and nickel-plated – to
change colour with use because of the intense heat from the burning wood.
CASING
If casing requires cleaning, use damp soapy cloth and wipe with clean damp cloth.
MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Allow the Delecto barbecue to cool down before
moving it or putting it away. Never move the
appliance while the wood is burning or when
still hot.
• Always remove the batteries from the control
module before storage or if the appliance is not
going to be used for a long period.
• Always handle the grates with care.
ATTENTION: The slits and outer edges of the
grates may be sharp; never rub them with bare
hands. Always use a barbecue brush.
• The brush supplied is not intended for cleaning
the grate. It should only be used for cleaning the
bottom of the burner.
• Protect the batteries and control module from
the weather and extremes of temperature (hotter
than 130°F or 54°C, and colder than –4°F or –20°C).
Store in a dry place.
•To protect the integrity of your barbecue against
the effects of the environment, use the Woodflame
cover (sold separately) when the barbecue is not
in use.
• NEVER USE OVEN CLEANERS.
BEFORE cleaning any part of the barbecue,
allow the barbecue to cool down completely.
