IGNITING CHARCOAL
WARNING! Never use petrol or spirits. Only use firelighters that comply with EN1860-3!
ATTENTION! The charcoal compartment must NOT be filled with more than 1 kg of char-
coal!
• Place three to four barbecue lighters in the centre of the charcoal grate and light them
with a long match.
• Place charcoal around each burning barbecue lighter. If necessary, add add more
charcoal, preferably in the shape of a pyramid.
• Once the charcoal is burning evenly, distribute it evenly. If grey ash grey ash (during the
day) or red embers (at night) after lighting, you can start grilling.
• Make sure that the grilling grate and the warming rack are fully secured in their
anchoring.
• When the charcoal is now glowing, a layer of grey ash covers it and the flames have and
the flames have gone out, you can distribute the charcoal evenly in the fire pit.
• It may be necessary to add a small amount of charcoal on top to extend the grilling time.
• If you apply a small layer of oil (the oil should be suitable for cooking) to the cooking
cooking surfaces of the grill, you can prevent the food from sticking.
• Use heat-resistant gloves when turning the valves for the air supply.
IMPORTANT: Baking serves as a protective measure for the heat-coated surfaces and
MUST be carried out BEFORE first use!
• Firstly, after assembly, the grill (smoker) must be cleaned of all packaging all
packaging residues after assembly. Any dirt that has accumulated on and in the smoker
during manufacture and transport must be thoroughly removed. Simply use hot water
and washing-up liquid to do this. Then rinse the grill with clean water and dry thoroughly.
Now you should grease the smoker well on the outside and in the cooking chamber. It is
best to use a heat-resistant oil or fat, e.g. sunflower oil or palm oil. The fire grates must
not be greased, otherwise the grease will ignite due to the open flames. Weathering,
ageing and excessive heat development can cause the colour to peel off over time. This
cannot be completely avoided in the long term. Either clean the spots with a wire brush
and repaint the smoker with exhaust or stove paint, or paint it with a small amount of
paint before the next heating phase. with a small amount of heat-resistant cooking oil
before the next heating phase. This This burns in, gives the metal a beautiful dark colour
and also protects against rust. rust. This process is called ‘burnishing’.
• To burn in the smoker, it is heated to approx. 180 °C. Dry hardwood or charcoal or
