You will find a "MIN" / "MAX" marking inside the grill base on the rear wall.

CAUTION:

Fill with water until above the reflector plate. The water bath and the plate will prevent excessive radiated heat near the base of the device. Therefore always barbecue using water and the fitted reflector plate.
