GAS INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
! We recommend that your LP cylinder be filled at an authorized LP gas dealer
by a qualified attendant who fills the tank by weight. Improper filling is
dangerous!
! Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use.
Only use the appropriate dust cap provided with the cylinder valve. Other
types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
! Replacement LP tanks must match the regulator connection supplied with this
Otto Wilde Grillers gas appliance.
! Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near Otto Wilde Grillers gas
appliances.
! Never fill the tank beyond 80 % full. Failure to follow these statements
exactly may result in a fire causing death or serious injury.
! Only use Otto Wilde Grillers gas appliances outdoors in a well ventilated
area. Do not use in a garage, building, breezeway or any other enclosed area.
IMPORTANT CYLINDER INFORMATION
! Your Otto Wilde Grillers grill is equipped for a cylinder supply system
designed for vapor withdrawal.
! The proper filling methods for the filling of your cylinder are by weight or
volume, as described in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling station fills
your LP cylinder by weight or volume. Ask your filling station to read purging
and filling instructions on the LP cylinder before attempting to fill.
SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID
PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS
! Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as are gasoline and natural
gas. LP gas is a gas at regular temperatures and pressures. Under moderate
pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid.
! As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes and becomes gas.
! LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should be aware of this odor.
! LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may collect in low areas and
prevent dispersion.
! To fill, take the LP cylinder to a propane gas dealer or look up “gas-
propane” in the phone book for other sources of LP gas.
! Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before the initial filling. Your
LP dealer is equipped to do this.
! The LP cylinder must be installed, transported, and stored in an upright
position.
! LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled roughly.
! Never store or transport the LP cylinder where temperatures can reach 125
°F/50 °C (too hot to hold by hand) For example: Do not leave the LP cylinder
in a car on a hot day.
Note: A refill will last about 20 – 25 hours of cooking time at normal use.
You do not have to run out before you refill.
! Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as when full. Even when the LP
tank is empty of liquid, there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder.
Always close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.
! Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. A dented or rusty LP cylinder or an LP
cylinder with a damaged valve may be hazardous and should be replaced with a
new one immediately.
! The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylinder must be leak tested
each time the LP cylinder is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP
cylinder is refilled. ! Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent
hole pointed downward so that it will not collect water. This vent should be
free of dirt, grease, bugs, etc.
LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
! Check to be sure that cylinders have a D.O.T. certification 1, and that they
have been date tested 2 within five years of use. Your LP gas supplier can do
this for you.
! All LP tank supply systems must include a collar to protect the cylinder
valve.
! The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb./ 11 kg size approximately 18 “/ 59 cm high
and 12 “/ 34 cm in diameter.
! The cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP-gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN / CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes or Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as
applicable.
LEAK CHECK PREPARATION
Check that all Burner Valves are Off Valves are shipped in the OFF position,
but you should check to be sure that they are turned off. Check by pushing
down and turning clockwise. If they do not turn, they are off. If they do
turn, continue turning them clockwise until they stop, then they are off.
THE LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER
All Otto Wilde Grillers LP gas grill regulators are equipped with a UL-listed
tank connection as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.58. This will require a
liquid propane tank that is similarly equipped with a Type 1 connection in the
tank valve.
This Type 1 coupling allows you to make a fast and totally safe hookup between
your gas grill and your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the chance of leaks
due to a POL fitting that is not properly tightened. Gas will not flow from
the tank unless the Type 1 coupling.
WARNING
! Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning the valve
clockwise.
DANGER
! Do not search for gas leaks using an open flame. Before checking for leaks,
make sure that there are not any sparks or open flames in the vicinity. Sparks
or
open flames can trigger an explosion, which could lead to serious or even
fatal injuries or material damage.

HERE WE GO COMMISSIONING
CONNECTING THE PROPANE GAS CYLINDER
You require the following for a safe connection:
- Propane gas cylinder
- A foaming agent (e.g. leak detection spray, soap solution)
Place the propane gas cylinder in an upright, secure position
Position the gas cylinder in such a way that it is upright and secure and
ensure that it does not come into contact with any part of the Otto Grill
Lite. Position the gas cylinder at a distance of at least 24″/ 60 cm from the
Otto Grill Lite so that the radiation heat does not reach the surface of the
gas cylinder or that of the gas hose. Also, ensure that the gas hose is not
under any tension. We recommend setting up the gas cylinder behind and
slightly to the right of the Otto Grill Lite.
-
Make yourself aware of the quick-connect gas inlet Your Otto Grill Lite is fitted with a quick-connect gas inlet connection. The gas pressure regulator assembly is equipped with a matching female fitting.
-
Pull back the sleeve on the female fitting Pull back the sleeve on the female quick connect fitting and attached to the fitting on the grill.
-
Connect the hose to the device Continue to pull back the sleeve on the female quick connect fitting and push it all the way onto the device side male quick connects fitting.
-
Release the sleeve and ensure the connection is locked into place.
-
Connect the Otto Grill Lite to the cylinder The regulator on the other end of the hose (which is not yet connected to the grill) is fitted with a nut that
matches the Type 1 connection on propane cylinders. Screw the regulator onto the cylinder outlet connection and ensure the connection is tight.
CHECK THE CONNECTION POINTS FOR LEAKS
Apply the foaming agent to both joints of the gas hose and the joint between
the gas inlet and adapter fitting. Open the valve on the gas cylinder. Now
check both joints and check whether bubbles appear. lf bubbles appear or if a
bubble that was already present gets bigger, there is a leak. In the event of
a leak, close the valve on the gas cylinder. Then check whether the gas hose
is connected correctly and fastened tightly. lf the screw connection is loose
on one of the connection points, tighten it.
After doing so, open the gas cylinder valve once more and use a soap solution
to test whether the connection points are sealed. lf leaks are still present
at one of the connection points, contact your retailer or our customer service
team.
Visit our website for general contact information on:

COMMISSIONING
GRILLING PROCEDURE
- Use the lever to remove the grill grate from slide-in slots 1 and place it next to the Otto Grill Lite on a heat-resistant surface with sufficient space.
- Light your Otto Grill Lite as described in the sections “Ignition by piezoelectric ignitor” or “Manual ignition”.
- Fill the drip tray halfway with water and place it in a slot below the desired grill height. 2
- Wait 2-3 minutes for the burners to reach operating temperature.
- Place your food on the grill grate.
- Use the control knob to adjust the required grill intensity of the burners.
- Use the lever to put the grill grate back on the sliding slot, leave in the desired slide-in slot until your food has reached the desired temperature.
- Remove the grill grate to turn your food and repeat step 7 to grill your food on the other side.
Use the heat protection plate
Pull out the heat shield inserted at the bottom of the Otto Grill Lite either
completely or at least to the front edge of the installation surface. The heat
protection plate prevents inadmissible heating of the installation surface by
heat radiation escaping from the grill.
WARNING
! The whole appliance becomes very hot. Take special care if children or
elderly people are nearby.
! Always wear protective gloves when using your Otto Grill Lite.
! Before you remove the drip tray once the grilling process is complete, wait
until this and the interior of the Otto Grill Lite has cooled down
sufficiently.
! When cooking, the Otto Grill Lite must be on a level, stable, non-
combustible surface in an area clear of combustible material. An asphalt
surface (blacktop) may not be acceptable for this purpose.
! Never move your head or limbs in or directly in front of the opening of your
Otto Grill Lite to test how well-cooked your food is. During the entire
grilling process, keep your face and head at least 15 ” / 38 cm away from the
grill chamber.
GOOD TO KNOW
CLEANING
Switch off your Otto Grill Lite, and wait until the grill including all removable parts is completely cooled down. Close the valve of the gas cylinder and unscrew the gas line before you start cleaning.
OUTSIDE SURFACE
You can clean them with a cloth and warm soapy water. When you have finished
cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water to remove any soap residue.
INSIDE SURFACES
Loosen the two grate inserts in the cooking chamber of your Otto Grill Lite by
unscrewing the two knurled nuts counterclockwise. Remove the grate drawer and
put it aside. The spacer bolts do not necessarily have to be loosened every
time the unit is cleaned. If necessary, loosen the two spacer bolts by
unscrewing them counterclockwise from the thread in the side wall of your Otto
Grill Lite. Put them aside as well and repeat the steps for the opposite
grating. Now you can clean the inner surfaces of your Otto Grill Lite with a
cloth and warm soapy water. The ceramic plates of the burners do not need to
be cleaned. When you have finished cleaning, rinse thoroughly with water to
remove any soap residue. When cleaning the burner unit, make sure that no
water runs into the burners. Clean the stainless steel surfaces of your Otto
Grill Lite only with a soft cloth and soapy water. Fasten the 4 spacer bolts
again in the provided threads on the inside of your Otto Grill Lite. Now
insert the grate inserts and fix them with the 2 knurled nuts. Note: You
can also use steel wool to remove stubborn dirt. However, you should make sure
that you always rub in the direction of the brush over the dirty surface to
avoid scratches.
CAST IRON GRILL GRATE
Use a dishwashing brush to brush your cast iron grill under warm running
water. When you have removed all the barbecue residues from your grate, dry it
thoroughly with a dish towel. Then smash your grill into a cloth and stow it
until the next use. Note: To dry your cast iron grill, use an older tea
towel so that no Fat leftovers will ruin your favorite towel.
REMOVABLE GREASE DRIP TRAY
Remove the grease residues extensively with paper towels before washing out
the grease trap with warm soapy water. Rinse the grease trap thoroughly again
with clear water.
IMPORTANT
Do not use cleaners containing acid, benzine or xylene. Rinse thoroughly with
water after each cleaning operation. Never clean the stainless steel surfaces
of your Otto Grill Lite with a wire brush. Such a brush causes scratches. When
drying and wiping surfaces, make sure that you wipe in the brushing direction
of the metal. This way you avoid visible scratches on the surfaces.
STORAGE
When the Otto Grill Lite is not in use, the tap on the LPG bottle must be
turned off. If the Otto Grill Lite is to be stored indoors, the LPG bottle
should be removed and stored in a well-ventilated place. If the LPG bottle is
not removed from the Otto Grill Lite, the grill and LPG bottle must be stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated place. Liquid gas cylinders must be stored in a
well-ventilated place out of reach of children. Removed LPG cylinders must not
be stored in a building, garage or another closed area.
IT’S GETTING HOT
BAPTISM OF FIRE
At some point, you just have to start. And nothing is better than a juicy ribeye steak. The Otto Grill Lite has a reputation for covering this classic premium cut with a crunchy crust in just a few seconds while the meat remains soft, pink, and juicy on the inside. At this point, you know: Steakhouse quality is now available in your home. Many more recipe ideas (not only for meat), tutorials, and information can be found at: www.ottogrills.com
INGREDIENTS
FOR 4 PEOPLE
4 Ribeye steaks
approx. 0.6 lb. / 300 g each
2.2 lbs. / 1 kg Sweet potatoes
1-2 Red bell peppers
3 sprigs of thyme
Rosemary
Coarse salt
Colored pepper
-
PREPARATION
Take the ribeyes out of the fridge one hour before you plan on grilling them. Let them reach room temperature for an even cooking process. In the meantime, cook the unpeeled sweet potatoes in salt water for 10 to 15 minutes. The potatoes shouldn’t get too soft, because otherwise, they will fall apart on the grill grate. Cool down and cut into slices. Chop thyme and fresh rosemary. Remove the core of the bell pepper and cut into slices. -
PREHEATING
For the perfect ribeye the Otto Grill Lite should be preheated to maximum temperature. That takes about three minutes. Keep the grill grate out off the grill, so the ribeye doesn’t get precooked on the hot grill grate.
-
GRILL THE PERFECT RIBEYE
Crucial when grilling meat: the right temperature. Only when the grill is really hot you will trigger the so-called “Maillard reaction”. Amino acids react with sugar and gives your steak a nice crust. Read more about the Maillard reaction on our Blog. Set the grate on the lowest slide-in slot and grill the ribeye at 1500 °F / 815 °C for 1 minute on each side. This applies if your steak is about 1 ” / 2.5 cm thick. If it’s bigger, use a meat thermometer for the best outcome. Your desired core temperature would be between 125 – 131 °F / 50 – 55°C. Afterward, remove the ribeye from the grill grate and let it rest. This gives the meat juices the chance to redistribute themselves within the meat again. Read the article “Grilling the perfect steak” on our website for more steak know-how. -
GRILL THE SIDES AND SERVE
Sear the sweet potato slices at the moderate temperature on one of the lower slide-in slots on both sides until they’ve turned golden-brown in color. Coat with olive oil and season with fresh herbs, coarse sea salt, and pepper.
Then, carve the dry-aged ribeye across the grain and also season with coarse sea salt. Serve with the grilled sweet potato slices on a country-style wooden board for the right looks. And now: enjoy!
NOTE
It may be the case that the temperature of your new Otto Grill Lite turns out
a little bit higher than indicated in our recipes the first few times you use
it on specific burner settings.
This is simply because the surfaces are still especially shiny and highly
reflective. The conditions that exist when grilling, such as wind or weather
may make it necessary to adjust the control knob or grilling position in order
to achieve the desired cooking temperature.
In order to always be on the safe side and to ensure that your product is
cooked as desired, We recommend the use of a meat thermometer.
