Setting up the BBQ
ATTENTION: Risk of damage!
During use, the screws can loosen slowly and impair the BBQ’s stability.
• Check the stability of the screws prior to each use. If necessary, tighten all of the screws again to ensure the barbecue is standing securely.
• When using the grill, please protect the floor and surrounding walls from possible soiling, e.g. through fat splashes.
• Before use, place the barbecue on an even, sturdy surface outdoors.
Prior to first use, wash the cooking grill and the warming grid with warm soapy water.
Pre-firing
Before you use the barbecue for the first time, it needs to be conditioned (prefired) for at least 1-2 hours at a temperature of 100°-200°C.
This is necessary in order to make the inside ready for barbecuing and to burn in the heat-resistant paint on the outside. During the pre-firing, the lid should not be completely closed.
Only close the lid completely for a few minutes at the end.
ATTENTION: During the pre-firing, the temperature must not exceed 260 °C.
Operation
DANGER: Risk of burning!
The barbecue, the charcoal and barbecue meat become very hot during use. Any contact can result in serious burns.
• Keep sufficient distance from the hot parts, since any contact can lead to severe burns.
• Always wear oven or barbecue gloves when grilling.
• Use only long-handled utensils with heat-resistant grips.
• Do not wear any clothing with wide sleeves. Tie back long hair.
• Use only fire lighters or special fluid lighters compliant with EN 1860-3 as firelighters.
• When using the grill, please protect the floor and surrounding walls from possible soiling, e.g. through fat splashes.
1. Open the lid and remove the cooking grill (8).
2. Place 2-3 solid firelighters in the middle of the charcoal grate. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. Light the firelighters with a match.
3. Layer a maximum of 1.35kg of charcoal around the firelighters.
4. Prior to first use, the barbecue must be pre-fired for a minimum 1-2 hours. See section 'Before grilling' above.
5. As soon as the charcoal is glowing, spread it evenly over the charcoal bowl (12). To do this, use a suitable fireproof tool with a long, fireproof handle.
6. Put the barbecue grate in place and adjust the charcoal grate to the desired height using the lifting handle (15).
7. Only place the barbecue meat on the grate when the charcoal is covered with a bright layer of ash. A plate with the barbecue meat can be set down on the right side table (32).
barbecue utensils, barbecue gloves, and other barbecue accessories can be hung on the hooks underneath the right side table.
8. Leave the lid open or closed according to the type of barbecue meat. If a longer cooking time is needed for the meat, it is recommended that the lid (3) be closed.
The thermometer located on the lid shows the temperature in the cooking chamber. Ensure that the temperature for a particular barbecue meat does not get too high, otherwise
the meat could burn.
9. Control the temperature in the cooking chamber using the air vent on the sides of the lid and of the body.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Your grill is made of high-quality materials. To clean and maintain the surfaces, please heed the following instructions:
DANGER: Risk of burning!
Let the grill cool down completely before cleaning.
Only tip out the ash when the fuel has completely burned out.
DANGER: Health risk!
Do not use any decolourants or thinners to remove stains. These are harmful to health and must not come into contact with food.
ATTENTION: Risk of damage!
Use a non-abrasive cloth or pad and clean with hot soapy water. Do not use scouring pads or powders, as they can permanently damage the finish.
• Let the fuel burn out completely after grilling. This eases the cleaning effort by burning away excess fat and barbecue residues.
• Pull out the ash pan (22) and empty out the cold ash. It is very important that you remove the ash before moisture combines with the cold ash. Ash is saline and, in a moist
condition, will attack the inside of the ash pan. Thus, over years the ash pan can sustain damage through rust.
• Clean the barbecue regularly, at best after every use.
• Remove the barbecue grate and clean it thoroughly with soapy water. Then dry it off thoroughly.
• Use a wet sponge to remove loose residue from the grill.
• Use a soft, clean cloth for drying. Do not scratch the surfaces when wiping them dry.
• In general, clean the inner and outer surfaces with warm soapy water.
• Tighten all screws before every use to guarantee the stability of your barbecue at all times.
• Protect your barbecue from persistent weather conditions. Since it is manufactured from steel, it will eventually rust. Clean possible rust spots and repair them with oven paint or
paint that is heat resistant up to at least 600°C.
• IMPORTANT: The barbecue should always be stored somewhere where it is protected from moisture.
