• Before cooking the food connect the regulator to the gas cylinder valve and firmly tighten.
• Cooking utensils can be placed on the side burner. Cooking utensils with a diameter of 8-24 cm can be used.

Lighting the gas grill

NOTE:

• The lid must be open when lighting the burners.
• Do not lean over the burner when lighting.

Lighting the pilot flame (main burner and side burner)

1. Put all the gas controls in the OFF position and open the valve on the gas cylinder.
2. To light, press and hold the knob A for 3-5 seconds to release the gas and then turn anticlockwise to position HIGH (B). A spark is then released in the burner tube (C). A clicking noise is heard from the lighter and an orange flame can be seen by the burner tube to the left of the burner (D).
3. Keep the knob pressed for 2 more seconds after the clicking noise so that the gas manages to fill the burner tube (E) and light.
4. When the burner is lit the adjacent burner will light when the corresponding knob is set to position HIGH.
5. In position HIGH the flame is orange and 12-20 mm long. Turn the knob anticlockwise as far as it goes for the lowest setting.
6. If the automatic lighting does not work remove the grill rack and flame guard, turn the valve 90° anticlockwise and light with a grill lighter by holding it 5 mm from the burner opening. Replace the grill rack and flame guard when the burner is lit Use heat resistant safety gloves/grill gloves.

WARNING!
If the burner still does not light, turn the knob to the OFF position. Wait 5 minutes so that the gas disperses, and try again.

Tips for saving gas

• Open the lid as little as possible and as briefly as possible.
• Turn off the product as soon as you have finished cooking.
• Preheat the grill for no more than 10-15 minutes (except when using for the first time). Do not preheat for longer than recommended.
• Do not use a higher setting than recommended.

SMOKING

Before use

1. Brush all of the inside surfaces, including the charcoal rack and grill rack, with vegetable oil.
2. We recommend lighting the charcoal for the smoker with a chimney starter. If a chimney starter is not used – build up a small pile of charcoal on the charcoal rack, without placing charcoal against the walls of the smoker.
3. Close the lid. Check that all the valves are 1/4 open. Allow the charcoal to burn for at least two hours, the longer the better. Increase the temperature after 2 hours by opening the valves half way, add more charcoal and allow the charcoal to burn out completely. The smoker is now ready to use.

NOTE:
Rust can form on the inside of the smoker. Protect it by applying a thin layer of vegetable oil on all the inside surfaces.

Lighting and using

NOTE:
Always grill with charcoal, never with wood. Wood fires are difficult to manage and can ruin the food with tar, soot and ash.

1. Add lit, red hot charcoal to the smoker tray. We recommend 1.2 kg of charcoal; add more if necessary. Remember to use grill gloves.
2. Check the temperature with a good thermometer.

NOTE:
The temperature in the smoker box can be 10 -15°( higher than at the flue.

Smoking and slow cooking

1. Lift out the grill rack from the smoker.

2. Build up a pile of red hot charcoal over the charcoal rack in the smoker.

3. Extra smoky flavours can be obtained with smoke chips of hickory, mesquite, pecan, and oak etc. Do not use pieces of wood when cooking the food, this can diminish the quality of the food being cooked.

4. Do not dampen the smoke chips Chips absorb only 5%
   of their weight in water, and the water only cools down the charcoal when you add the chips. This can result in an uneven grill temperature.

5. Keep the lid closed when the embers have burned.
   The temperature and amount of smoke can be controlled with the valves on the smoker and the valves over the grill chamber. The smoke is contained in the smoker and grill chamber, which reduces the risk of burning the food and also gives a more smoky flavour.

6. Place the food in the grill chamber and check the temperature.

7. The temperature in the grill chamber must not exceed 230° C. When putting the food in the grill chamber it is important to check the temperature. The cooking and smoking take place with indirect heat.

Checking the temperature and smoke

1. Start by checking the temperature at the air intake. This is the valve at the bottom of the smoker. Leave the chimney open. The air intake valve controls the supply of oxygen
   to the charcoal and this valve has the most effect on the cooking temperature. The chimney controls (to a certain extent) the amount of smoke in the grill chamber and the difference in temperature between the different sides.

2. Start by keeping the air intake valve completely open until the temperature of the grill chamber has gone up. Then close the valve to half open or more until the temperature is between 105 and 120°c. Keep the temperature on the high side, ideally. Never completely close the air intake valve because this can stifle the embers release tar. Do not touch the chimney valve until the grill chamber has had a stable temperature for at least 30 minutes.

3. Be careful with the amount of smoke. It is easy to ruin the food with too much of a smoky taste.

4. When adding smoke chips: Add about 115 grams each time in 3 to 4 batches every 30 minutes. Start when the grill chamber has reached over 95°C. The smoke chips are added in the smoker chamber.

5. The temperature of the air affects the cooking temperature. Rain (and snow) can have a strong effect of the cooking temperature. It is important to check the temperature so that it stays within the recommended interval.

Smoking guide Cooking tips and smoke check Grill chamber

• The chimney controls the amount of smoke in the grill chamber.
• The air intake valve regulates the temperature in the grill chamber.
• Smoke and heat go from the embers via grill chamber and out through the chimney.

1. Place the food in the grill chamber at least 15 cm away from the opening to the smoker. The cooking and smoking take place with indirect heat. There is no need to worry about dripping grease that burns and ruins the food.
2. Keep the lid closed. The delicate heat and oxygen balance of the charcoal will be interfered with if any of the panels to the smoker box or grill chamber are opened. Open the panels as little as possible to avoid diminishing the heat and prolonging the cooking time.
3. Turn the meat round. If you have meat on the left and right sides in the grill chamber, turn the meat round half way through the cooking.
4. If the food gets over smoked, or burned before the cooking is ready, place grill foil over it. Remember to use grill gloves.
5. Utensils can be warmed in the smoke chamber while the food is cooking. Remember to use grill gloves.
6. The food can be flavoured with oil or marinade before grilling. Do not use too much marinade because smoke and aroma from the smoke chips affect the taste of the ingredients.
7. Remove all the ash after use. Make sure that the ash has cooled before removing.
