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.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Release the sleeve and ensure the connection is locked into place.

5. 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: www.ottogrills.com
After completing the test for leaks, turn off the gas supply on the propane gas cylinder and clean the connections using water.

GRILLING PROCEDURE

1. 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.
2. Light your Otto Grill Lite as described in the sections “Ignition by piezoelectric ignitor” or “Manual ignition”.
3. Fill the drip tray halfway with water and place it in a slot below the desired grill height. 2
4. Wait 2-3 minutes for the burners to reach operating temperature.
5. Place your food on the grill grate.
6. Use the control knob to adjust the required grill intensity of the burners.
7. 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.
8. 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

1. 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.

2. 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.

   ---

3. 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.

4. 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.

! Any modifications or alterations to this grilling appliance will invalidate the warranty. For this reason, do not carry out any modifications to the appliance.
Despite the favorable cleaning characteristics of the Otto Grill Lite, the accumulation of fatty residues on the grill and inside the burning chamber are unavoidable in the long-term. These do not constitute cause for complaint. As the front panel is subject to combustion smoke and high temperatures, discoloration in this area is unavoidable and does not constitute cause for complaint. These parts are components that transfer or burn gas. For information regarding the original spare parts of Otto Wilde Grillers, contact the Otto Wilde customer service team.
! Never attempt to repair components that transport or burn gas yourself. If this product warning is not observed, actions may lead to a fire or explosion. This can cause serious personal injury, fatal accidents, and material damage. For any questions relating to repairs, contact the Otto Wilde customer service team.
