the grill in a well-ventilated area.
WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-
Ÿ

use.
Do not use within 1 m of any flammable structure or under

any combustible surface.
Ash catcher pan must be fully installed during operation.

appliance indoors or bring indoors if not fully extinguished.
After a charcoal fire appears extinguished, unconsumed
Ÿ
embers can retain heat for up to 24 hours, and if exposed
to fresh air, can burst into flame unexpectedly. Any such
embers outside the firebox of the grill pose a fire hazard
and can ignite combustible surfaces such as wooden
decks.

Ÿ
may result in serious personal injury and/or property
damage.
Always use caution when handling hot coals to prevent
Ÿ
injury.
Always light the fire with the grill lid open.

Operation and Lighting Procedure
The grill is designed for use with charcoal briquettes or lump
•
charcoal. Do not exceed 2 lbs (0,9 kg) of charcoal.
Set up or place grill in a safe location.
•
• The grill shall be heated up and the fuel kept red hot for at
least 30 minutes prior to the first cooking.
Prior to cooking with your grill the first time:
•
a. Brush all interior surfaces, including grills and grates,
with vegetable oil.
b. Build a small fire in the charcoal pan.
c. Close lid after flames subside, position dampers at
approximately ¼ turn open. This burn should be
sustained for at least 30 minutes.
Place charcoal into a pyramid-shaped pile in the center of
•
the charcoal pan.
Light charcoal. Always light the fire with the lid open. Keep
•
lid open for as long as the charcoal burns with flames.
Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm coals as
•
flashbacks may occur causing injury.
After charcoal appears to have a coating of ash and flames
•
have subsided (12-15 minutes), spread coals evenly across
charcoal pan. Replace cooking grids and close lid to pre-
heat the cooking surface.
Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
•
Always open lid BEFORE opening the charcoal access
•
door to check fire or fuel.
Always open the ash door slowly. Never attempt to look
•
inside the grill while opening the charcoal door when the
grill is in use.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.
•
Unburned gas can accumulate and cause a flash fire if the
•
lid is not opened first.

Maintenance

Rust can appear on the inside of your grill. Maintaining a
•
light coat of vegetable oil on the interior surfaces will aid in
the protection of your grill. Exterior surfaces of the grill may
need occasional touch up. We recommend the use of
commercially available black high temperature spray paint.
NEVER PAINT THE INTERIOR OF THE GRILL!
Frequency of clean up is determined by how often the grill is
•
used.
Make sure coals are completely extinguished before
•
cleaning inside of the unit. Thoroughly rinse with water and
allow to air dry before using again. Wipe out the interior of
the unit with a cloth or paper towels. When finished cooking,
and the unit has adequately cooled, clean out all remaining
ashes. Ashes collect moisture, which can lead to premature
rusting and decay.
If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking
•
surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recommended to clean
cooking surfaces while grill is hot.
