WARNING
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE
OPERATING YOUR GRILL.
PREPARATION FOR USE & LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
➔ Before first use: CURING YOUR GRILL
Prior to your first use of the grill, follow the instructions below carefully to cure your grill. Curing your grill will minimize
damage to the exterior finish and get rid of the grill paint odor that can cause unnatural flavors to the first meal
prepared on the grill.
Step 1:
after having carefully chosen the position of your BBQ area:
Open the lid (3) from the BBQ and use it in an open position while lighting and getting the charcoal started.
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the grill with vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat the cooking grate
(7) & enameled charcoal grate (8). It's preferable to do the light oiling before positioning the cooking grate (7)
and enameled charcoal grate (8) inside the BBQ.
Step 2
Charcoal grate (8) must be in place at all time, before starting the lighting. Be sure the air–flow regulators (1-12)
are not obstructed.
Step 3
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal (or charcoal briquettes) and/or
wood as fuel in the grill.
NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not pile against the walls of
the bowl.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.
IMPORTANT: to protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be cured periodically and covered at
all times when not in use.
For lighting the charcoal, we advise to use dry crumpled paper or lighter cubes
(both are non-toxic, odorless and tasteless).
IF USING A CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 6.
IF YOU STILL CHOOSE TO USE CHARCOAL LIGHTING FLUID, ONLY
for lighting the charcoal.
Do not use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. CAUTION! Do not use spirit or
petrol for lighting or relighting! Use only firelighters complying to EN 18603. Start with 2.2 pounds (1.0kg) of charcoal. This
should be enough charcoal to cook with, once the curing process has been completed. Place the charcoal in the center of
the charcoal grate.
WARNING
Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal /wood mixture. DO NOT use the grill without the charcoal ash container (19-20) in place. DO NOT
attempt to remove the charcoal ash container (19-20) while the BBQ or container contains hot coals.
16
use charcoal lighting fluid approved
Step 4
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. Wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store lighting
fluid at a safe distance from the grill.
Step 5
With coals burning strong, close the lid (3) and allow the temperature to reach ± 100°C (± 225°F). Maintain this
temperature for 1 hour.
Step 6
Increase the temperature to ± 300°C (± 570°F). This can be achieved by adding more charcoal and/or wood.
Maintain this temperature for ½ hour then allow unit to cool completely.
WHEN USING A CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER:
Follow all manufacturer's warnings and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with max. 2.2 pounds (1.0
kg) of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to start cooking with, once the curing process has been completed. When
charcoal is burning strong inside the chimney starter, carefully place hot coals in the center of the barbecue's charcoal grate
(8), eventually add extra charcoal and close the lid (3).
THE CURING PROCESS IS FINISHED NOW, AND YOUR GRILL CAN NOW BE USED FOR COOKING FOOD AS SOON AS:
- all charcoal burns equally
- flames are no longer noticeable
- all coals are covered with a grey ash
TO START THE CHARCOAL GRILL
Note: For first use see instructions above "Before first use: CURING YOUR GRILL."
DIRECT GRILL COOKING METHOD
The direct grill cooking is a method where the food is cooked on the
cooking grate (7) directly above the glowing embers and with a closed lid
(3). For even cooking, food should be turned once, halfway through the
grilling time. This cooking method is ideal for food that needs less than
20 min. to cook: steaks, chops, kebaps, vegetables,...
Step 1
Make sure that the BBQ is correctly positioned as described above:
Place the grill outdoors on a hard, non-combustible surface away
from roof overhang or any combustible material. Never use on
wooden or other surfaces that could burn. Place the grill away from
open windows or doors to prevent smoke from entering your house.
In windy weather, place the grill in an outdoor area that is protected
from the wind.
Step 2
Open the lid (3) from the BBQ and use it in an open position while lighting and getting the charcoal started.
Be sure all air-flow regulators (1-12) are open and free. For proper airflow, remove accumulated ashes from previous BBQ
sessions on the BBQ bottom if present (coals should be fully extinguished before removing). Charcoal requires oxygen
to burn, so be sure of a good airflow and that nothing will obstruct the vents.
Step 3
Mound the charcoal or briquettes into a pyramid-shaped pile, or pile the charcoal into a charcoal chimney starter. Start
with 2.2 pounds (± 1.0kg) of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to start cooking with. Ignite the charcoal.
