21 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GASKET & REPLACEMENT SETS
The gasket material is subject to wear and must be regularly
replaced, depending on the amount of grill use. Avoid da-
maging the gasket with metal brushes or too high tempe-
ratures (in excess of 400 °C). To replace the gasket carefully
remove the old gasket with a spatula, please be careful as
not to damage the ceramic glaze. Any glue residue can be
removed with sandpaper. The gasket replacement band is
self-adhesive. Start at the back of the grill working your way
around, making sure the gasket doesn't protrude inside the
grill.
STAINLESS STEEL SEALING RING
The new sealing system makes replacement a minor ope-
ration. If, however, after long and intensive use, a change
for cleaning/renewal is necessary, proceed as follows: lift
the clamping straps slightly, do not bend them open and
remove the sealing tape. When inserting the sealing tape,
proceed in reverse order.
22 SAFETY
PLACE FOR THE MONOLITH
Always choose a hard and level surface. Take the
weight of the MONOLITH into consideration. Do not
place the Monolith directly on or in vicinity of combus-
tible materials. Remember sparks and the hot exhaust
air are also potential fire hazards, therefore do not
place under a low patio-roof or canopy. Do not use the
Monolith indoors. Always place it outdoors with ade-
quate air circulation.
OPENING AND CLOSING THE LID HINGE WITH
QUICK FASTENER JUNIOR/ICON
The ceramic lid is held in an open position by me-
ans of tension springs. Do not underestimate the
heavy weight of the lid. Never let the lid drop when
closing, make sure that no body parts or grill tools
are between the unit base and lid. By simply re-
leasing the handle, both the lid and/ or base can be
damaged through the weight and force of the lid.
Replace damaged springs immediately. If you want
to remove the lid, open it completely so that the
springs are relaxed. Now open the clamping screws
on both sides counterclockwise and pull the cover
upwards out of the lower hinge area by the handle.
Caution: Please hold the exhaust air cap firmly, it is only loo-
sely clamped on. Slowly place the cover on a safe surface with
the seal facing downwards.
MOVING THE MONOLITH
Do not attempt to move the Monolith unless it is cool
and does not contain any hot charcoal. When moving,
place both hands on the cart and pull the grill behind
you. Do not push it! The cart is not designed to roll
over uneven surfaces such as lawn, sand or gravel.
For uneven terrain we recommend out Monolith
Buggy.
CHILDREN AND PETS
When using the Monolith, do not leave children and
pets unattended close to the grill.
INDOOR USE
Due to smoke emissions we recommend not using the
Monolith indoors. Always place it outdoors with ade-
quate air circulation.
LOCAL ORDINANCE & REGULATIONS
Observe the local ordinance and regulations before
using the grill.
CAST IRON VENTILATION CAP
Please restrain from looking inside the cast iron ven-
tilation cap. Sparks and the hot exhaust air can cause
injury.
PLACING / REMOVING COMPONENTS
The grill and its metal components can get very hot,
please wear gloves or use tongs when placing the me-
tal grids, pizza stone or deflector stone in the grill or
when removing them. Do not place hot components
on inflammable or sensitive surfaces. Please exercise
caution when handling the hot components in order
to avoid injuries. Do not try to remove the firebox or
charcoal basket when filled with hot coals.
LIFTING THE GRID
Use the grid lifter when raising the hot grid. Please
where wear gloves to avoid burn injuries.
RISK OF BURN INJURIES
Due to the very good insulation of the heavy ceramics,
there is minimal risk of burn injuries when touching
the outside walls of the Monolith. We still recommend
using precaution and keeping children and pets away
from the grill whilst in use.
FIRE DANGER
Do not leave the grill unattended. Sparks and the hot
exhaust air can cause inflammable objects in the vici-
nity to ignite.
BACKDRAFTS
Once lit, the Monolith lid should always be opened
slowly and with extra caution to prevent dangerous
flare ups or backdrafts. By only opening the lid about
4-5 cm, oxygen can slowly fill the Monolith, this helps
avoid a backdraft. Should you have a backdraft, imme-
diately close the lid and both air vents. It is always ad-
visable to wear heat resistant gloves, and not to stand
directly in front of the grill.
LIGHTERS
Never use any fluid or chemical accelerants, never use
petrol or spirit! Chemical or liquid accelerants, can be
absorbed by the ceramic unit and may adversely affect
the flavour and quality of the food.
EXTINGUISHING THE CHARCOAL
By closing both of the air vents, the embers will ex-
tinguish, this will take approximately 10 – 20 minutes.
Never use water to extinguish the charcoal.
