LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

• Never use gasoline or alcohol as a lighter fluid since it can cause uncontrollable heat
production due to explosions. Instead, use any of the lighting methods described below.
• Briquettes/coals are ready for barbecuing when they have an even glow and a gray film
covering them.
• Do not use too many briquettes/coals, one layer is enough. Otherwise there is a risk of
the barbecue being damaged.
• NOTE! Briquettes/coals must always be placed on the coal rack in the bottom of the
grill. Otherwise there is a risk of the barbecue being damaged.
LIGHTING WITH BARBECUE STARTERS/CHIMNEY STARTERS
• Put 2–3 lighter cubes on the coal rack in the bottom of the barbecue.
• Fill the barbecue starter with the desired number of briquettes and put them on top of
the lighter cubes.
• Light and wait until the briquettes have an even glow.
• Pour the briquettes on the coal rack.
• Let the barbecue starter cool on a non-flammable surface.
LIGHTING WITH ELECTRIC LIGHTERS
• Put a small layer of briquettes/coals on the coal rack in the bottom of the barbecue.
• Place the electric lighter on top of the coals.
• Fill with more briquettes/coals over the electric lighter.
• Connect the electric lighter to the electrical outlet and wait until the briquettes/coals are
ready.
• Remove the electric lighter, remove the plug from the electrical outlet and let the
electric lighter cool on a non-flammable surface.
LIGHTING WITH LIGHTER FLUID
• Pour the lighter fluid according to the instructions on the bottle.
• Light the briquettes/coals with the barbecue cover removed.
• Be careful of the flames.
• Wait until the briquettes/coals have an even glow and a gray film before barbecuing.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Let all parts of the barbecue cool completely before cleaning them.
• The barbecue must be thoroughly cleaned regularly. If the barbecue is used in exces-
sively corrosive environments, such as by the sea, it is extra important that the barbecue
is cleaned often. Salt and moisture usually break down the barbecue's protective outer
surface, which can lead to surface rust.
• When the barbecue is not in use, it should be protected from rain and contaminants
under a barbecue cover, this prevents contamination and surface rust.
