WARNING

• For outdoor use only. Do not operate the grill indoors or in an enclosed area.

• Proper clearance of 3 meter (10 feet) between the grill and combustible mate rial (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when the grill is in use. Do not place the grill under a roof overhang or other enclosed area.

• For household use only. Do not use this grill and relating tools for other than its intended purpose.

• Only use this grill on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc. capable of supporting the weight of the grill) and on a surface, capable of resisting the radiant heat from a hot barbeque. Never use on wooden, plastic or other  surfaces that could burn or melt. Be aware that the radiant heat can be very high and will remain for a long time.

• If you still would like to use the grill on an outdoor table, be sure you use an extra non-combustible stable underground (sheet, plate, board,…) of min 1mx1m deflecting the radiant heat away from the table and protect it from any deterioration (burning, discoloring, melting, deforming,…)

• DO NOT use the grill without charcoal rack in place. DO NOT attempt to re move charcoal tray while tray contains hot coal.

• We recommend the use of a Charcoal chimney starter to avoid the dangers as sociated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the grill.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal.
  CAUTION! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or relighting! Use only fire lighters complying to EN 18603. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe body injury.

• Do not store lighter fluid or other flammable liquids or materials in the neigh borhood of the grill.

• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20 to 30 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this, could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in grill and may result in a flash fire or explosion.

• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighting fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood mixture.

WARNING

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe injury.

• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.

• Place the grill and relating tools in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when the grill or relating tools are in use.

• Do not leave the grill or relating tools unattended when in use.

• When adding charcoal and / or wood, use extreme caution.

• Use caution when handling the grill grid, use the appropriate handle tool and an oven mitt. The grill grid will be hot when in use.

• The grill is hot when in use. To avoid burns:

• DO NOT attempt to move the grill.

• Wear protective gloves or oven mitts.

• DO NOT touch any hot grill surfaces.

• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with the grill.

  • When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen, take off the meat from the grill or the complete BBQ grid, until the grease fires has extinguished by itself. For fatty food, we recommend to use a grill pan. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.

  • Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. Keep hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.

  • Do not exceed a temperature of ±200° (±400°F). Do not allow charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of the grill. Doing so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of your grill.

  • Use caution when assembling and operating your grill to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts. Use caution when reaching into or under the grill.

  • In windy weather, place the grill in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

Use caution to protect yourself and property, carefully place remaining coals and ashes in a nonombustible metal container and saturate completely with water, allow coals and water to remain in metal container 1 hour prior to disposing.

  • Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed at a safe distance from all structure and Combustible materials.

  • When used on the ground, wet the surface beneath and around the grill with a garden hose to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process. With a garden hose completely wet the surface beneath and around grill to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.

  • When used on a table, wait long enough until the grill has cooled down.
    Carefully take the grill from the table and put it temporary on a safe non- combustible ground surface for further cooling down. Then remove carefully your extra protection sheet and move to a safe ground surface where you can remove all ashes, coals or embers, which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process. Use a garden hose to completely wet this surface to extinguish any ashes, coals or embers.

Place the grill outdoors on a hard, level, 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. Place an extra deflecting shield, non-combustible plate, board or sheet that can resist the heat radiation during use, under the cork bottom if necessary (+/- 1x1m)

Step 2
** Charcoal basket + deflector must be in place at all time, before starting the lighting. Be sure the air vents are not obstructed and are free.
For proper airflow, remove accumulated ashes from previous BBQ sessions on the Charcoal rack if present (coals should be fully extin guished before removing). Charcoal requires oxygen to burn, so be sure of a good airflow and that nothing will obstruct the vents.
Step 3**
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire. You may use charcoal (or charcoal briquettes) as fuel in the grill.

NOTE: To extend the life of your grill, make sure that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of the grill itself. Be sure only charcoal is in the charcoal rack.
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the grill is not scraped or rubbed during the heating process.
IMPORTANT: to protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be cleaned and dried 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 SMALL CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER, PROCEED TO STEP 6.
IF YOU STILL CHOOSE TO USE CHARCOAL LIGHTING FLUID, ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved 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 1.3-1.75 pounds (0.6-0.8kg) of charcoal. This should be enough charcoal to cook with. Place the charcoal in the center of each charcoal grate.
Step 4
Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. Wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak into charcoal. Store lighting fluid a safe distance from the grill.
Step 5
With coals burning strong, allow the temperature to reach ± 100°C (± 225°F). Maintain this temperature for 1/2 hour.
Step 6
Increase the temperature to ± 200°C (± 400°F). This can be achieved by adding more charcoal and/or wood Maintain this temperature for ½ hour then allow unit to cool completely.

TIPS FOR GRILLING & FOOD SAFETY

• Don’t try to save time by placing food on a grill that’s not yet ready. Let charcoal burn until it’s coated with light-grey ash.
• Always start with a well cleaned BBQ grid. Food rests from previous sessions should be removed by a bristle barbeque brush or crumpled aluminum.
• Unless otherwise stated in the recipe, turn your food only once.
• A light coating of oil will help brown your food evenly and keep it from sticking to the cooking grate. Always brush or spray oil on your food, not on the cooking grate.
• Do not defrost meat, fish or poultry at room temperature. Defrost in the refrigerator or micro- wave oven.
• Never place cooked food on the same plate the raw food was placed on.
• Wash all plates and cooking utensils which have come into contact with raw meats or fish with hot, soapy water and rinse.
