= Use only barbecue charcoal or charcoal briquettes (tested to DIN EN 1860-2) for barbecuing. # Do not use any resinous soft woods such as fir or spruce or bits of young oak tree which still have bark on them for smoking! The tannins which they contain may produce toxic hydrogen cyanide. Oak wood must have been stored for at least two years and not have any bark on it. Fruit woods such as cherry and apple or hard wood such as beech and ash are very suitable for smoking m This barbecue device gets very hot. Always wear barbecue gloves for barbecuing. You should also only ever touch the barbecue while wearing barbecue gloves immediately after the embers have been extinguished. This is because the surfaces will remain hot for a little time. m The barbecue gloves (to prevent thermal risks) must conform to DINEN407 (Category Il). Use barbecue utensils with long, heat-resistant handles In the event of a fire: smother the flames with a suitable fireproof blanket or a fire extinguisher. 007 NOSNIA

NOTICES FOR ASSEMBLY

À PLEASE NOTE! = Keep plastic bags and films away from young children and animals! There is a danger of suffocation. + The assembly steps are shown at the end of these assembly and operating instructions. Follow them because incorrect assembly can be dangerous. + Ensure there is sufficient space to assemble the barbecue and if necessary use a mat to protect the barbecue or delicate floors from being scratched. + Assemble the barbecue on a horizontal, flat surface to make sure it is straight. + Do not apply any force when assembling the device. + First tighten the screw connections so they are hand-tight and then tighten them again properly once you have completed the assembly step. Otherwise this may cause unwanted tension. + Tighten the nuts until they fit firmly, and then turn them a quarter turn more. Do not tighten them too hard!

A FEW TIPS TO START WITH

Smoked foodstuffs should not be placed on the barbecue because they generally contain a small amount of organic contaminants produced by the smoke. The content of harmful substances in the food would be increased by being barbecued. + You can place the food you want to barbecue both directly over the heat source (direct grilling) to sear it, or grill it indirectly in a gentler way. With indirect grilling, you stack up the fuel on the left and right in the cooking chamber (44) and place the food to be cooked in the middle so that it is not directly above the heat source. Close the lid (43) so that the heat is spread evenly around the cooking chamber. + You can place food that has already been barbecued on the warming rack (40) to keep it warm while you carry on barbecuing. Please note that it will continue to be cooked a little. In addition, on the warming rack you can gently cook vegetables, seafood etc. and while you do this for example barbecue meat at a high heat on the grill rack (39) + We recommend barbecuing with the lid closed. This reduces the risk of flash flames and ensures that your food is barbecued faster and more evenly. + The thermometer (36) on the lid shows you the temperature in the cooking chamber. + The cooking time for meat depends on its thickness, quality, maturity and temperature when you start barbecuing. Until

you are properly familiar with the device, you should check the condition of the food being barbecued in between times. + Food that has had a small amount of oil brushed on it will brown more evenly and not stick to the grill rack. + Before you cook meat, it should be at room temperature to ensure good, even cooking. + If you are using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar content or other ingredients which burn easily, only spread them on in the last 10 to 15 minutes of barbecuing. USE /\ PLEASE NOTE! m PLEASE NOTE! This barbecue device gets very hot and must not be moved while in use! m Only use the barbecue if it has been assembled properly in accordance with these assembly and operating instructions and is undamaged. Do not use the barbecue without the associated frame. m Before you use it, set up the barbecue on a secure, stable, horizontal, flat and fire-resistant surface which is not made of glass or plastic. = Using petrol or spirit to ignite the fuel may result in uncontrollable heat caused by deflagrations. You should therefore only use safe materials for burning, such as solid firelighters. m The cooking chamber may be filled with a maximum of 2kg of fuel, and the fire box may be filled with a maximum of 0.75kg of fuel. = Before barbecuing for the first time, heat up and allow the fuel to glow for at least 30 minutes. m Only place the food on the grill when the fuel is covered with a layer of ash. m Never pour water onto the hot barbecue to avoid burns and scalding. Barbecuing

1. Remove heat deflector plates A (1) and B (38) from the cooking

2. Stack some of the charcoal or charcoal briquettes on the

charcoal grates (37). @) You can also grill smaller portions in the fire box (10).

3. Ignite one or two solid firelighters and place them in the device.

Allow the solid firelighters to burn for two to four minutes.

5. After about 15 to 20 minutes, white ash appears on the

charcoal / charcoal briquettes. The charcoal is now ready for barbecuing. For direct grilling (see above), spread the fuel around evenly with a suitable metal tool. 6._ Insert the grill racks (39 or 2). Now you can start barbecuing. Smoking (American BBQ)

1. Insert heat deflector plates A (1) and B (38) into the cooking

chamber (44). You do not require the charcoal grates (37).

2. Light a fire with wood, charcoal or charcoal briquettes on the

charcoal grates (3) in the fire box (10).

3. Place the food on the grill racks (39) in the cooking chamber.

4. Close the lid (43) of the cooking chamber. The smoke and the

heat escape from the fire box through an opening into the cooking chamber and cook the food.

5. You can regulate the temperature with the amount of air

supplied: the more air, the more heat. Open or close the ventilation grille (12) or smoke regulator (34), as required. Smoking With smoking you use smoking chips or wood chips to generate smoke in the fire box (10). Otherwise you proceed in the same way as with American BBQ smoking (see above).

CLEANING AND STORAGE

À PLEASE NOTE! = Allow all parts to cool down completely before you clean the device, place a cover over it or store it away. m Excessive accumulations of food residues and cooking fat may cause what is known as a grease fire. m Do not use corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents or brushes with metal bristles. They may damage the surfaces = Do not fill with water or expose to rainfall for a prolonged period. + Once all parts have cooled down, dispose of the ash in an environmentally friendly way. + Empty and clean the grease pan (29) after or before each use. Rinse it with warm water and washing-up liquid. + Clean the barbecue with a brush or with a wet sponge and some washing-up liquid. For stubborn dirt you can use a standard household cleaner. Follow the instruction of the manufacturer of the agent which is used. + Clean the racks with warm water, washing-up liquid and a stainless steel cleaning pad. + Allow all parts to dry completely or dry them before they are stored away. + Store them in a dry, weatherproof location.
