Grilling

Grilling over lava rocks

Before cooking, remove the grill racks
and raise the heating elements. Take
the lava rocks out of their bag and put
them into the lava rock tray.
We recommend pre-heating the el-
ements at setting "12" for approx. 5
minutes.
This will allow the food to cook using
heat radiated by the lava rocks.
Meat can be lightly brushed with oil be-
fore grilling.
If you wish to add herbs to the food
while grilling, they can be sprinkled di-
rectly onto the meat or onto the lava
rocks, so the aroma reaches the food.
As the lava rocks absorb the fat which
drips onto them, they will eventually
become saturated. When the stones
become dark, they should be changed.
Smoke forms when fat drops onto hot
lava rocks. With a DA 8 extractor situ-
ated next to the grill, the smoke can be
removed from the atmosphere.

Grilling over the water trough

Before turning on the heating elements:
remove the lava rock tray from the
grill.
First check that the drain valve
underneath the grill is closed, then
fill the trough up to the lower rim with
approx. 1/2 gallon of hot water.
We recommend pre-heating the el-
ements at setting "12" for approx. 5
minutes.
This will allow the food to be cooked
by steam, as well as heat from the
grill. The trough will also be easier to
clean.
Meat can be brushed with oil before
being grilled.
Drops of fat will be cooled immediately
in the water trough, so that they cannot
catch fire.
When grilling, monitor the level of
water in the trough; if necessary,
carefully add more water.
After grilling, drain out the water and
oil through the drain valve (see
"Cleaning and Care").
