Danger: Risk of deflagration!

Failure to follow these instructions can lead to problems and risks while using the BBQ. Follow all of the assembly instructions listed here.

1. First read through the assembly instructions completely.

2. Allow yourself enough time for assembly and find an even working space of two to three

3. Small parts such as handles will probably be preassembled.

Required tools 1 x Phillips Screwdriver 1 x Wrench

Unpack BBQ Unpack the BBQ and dispose of all packaging materials. Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of children and dispose of them according to regulations after BBQ assembly. Take the following steps to assemble the BBQ. Before grilling

• Prior to first use, wash the BBQ grate and the warming rack with warm soapy water.

• Pre-firing Before you use the BBQ for the first time, it needs to be conditioned (pre-fired) for at least 1-2 hours at a temperature of 212° F- 382°F. This is necessary in order to make the inside ready for barbecuing and to burn in the heat- resistant paint on the outside. During pre-firing, the cover should not be closed completely. Only close the cover completely for a few minutes at the end. Attention: The temperature must never exceed 500°F. Operation

Danger: Risk of burning!

The BBQ, the charcoal and BBQ meat become very hot during use. Any contact can result in serious burns.

• Keep sufficient distance from the hot parts, since any contact can lead to severe burns.

• Always wear oven or BBQ gloves when grilling.

• Use only long-handled utensils with heat-resistant grips.

• Do not wear any clothing with wide sleeves.

• Use only dry lighters or special fluid lighters.

1. Open the cover and remove the BBQ grates.

2. Place 2-3 solid firelighters in the middle of the lifting system. Pay attention to the manu-

facturer’s instructions on the packaging. Light the firelighters with a match.

3. Layer a maximun of 4.5 lbs of charcoal around the firelighters.

4. Prior to first use, the BBQ must be pre-fired for a minimum 1-2 hours. See section Before

5. As soon as the charcoal is glowing, distribute it evenly. To do this, use a suitable fireproof

tool with a long, fireproof handle.

6. Put the BBQ grate in place and adjust the charcoal grate to the desired height using the

7. Only place the BBQ meat on the grate when the charcoal is covered with a bright layer of

ash. A plate with the BBQ meat can be set down on the side table.

8. Leave the lid open or closed according to the type of BBQ meat. If a longer cooking time

is needed for the BBQ meat, it is recommended that the lid be closed. The thermometer located on the lid shows the temperature in the cooking chamber. Ensure that the tempe- rature for a particular BBQ meat does not get too high, otherwise the meat could burn.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Your BBQ is made of high-quality materials. To clean and maintain the surfaces, please heed the following instructions:

Danger: Risk of burning!

Let the BBQ cool down completely before cleaning it. Only tip out the ash when the fuel has completely burned out.

Danger: Health risk!

Do not use any decolourants or thinners to remove stains. These are harmful to health and must not come into contact with food. Attention: Risk of damage! Do not use any strong or grinding solvents or abrasive pads, since these can attack the surfaces and leave behind scrape marks.

• Let the fuel burn out completely after grilling. This eases the cleaning effort by burning away excess fat and BBQ residues.

• Pull out the ash pan and empty out the cold ash. It is very important that you remove the ash before moisture combines with the cold ash. Ash is saline and, in a moist condition, will attack the inside of the ash collecting tray. Thus, over years the ash collecting tray can sustain damage through rust.

• Clean the BBQ regularly, at best after every use.

• Remove the BBQ grate and clean it thoroughly with soapy water. Then dry it off thorou- ghly.

• Use a wet sponge to remove loose residue from the BBQ.

• Use a soft, clean cloth for drying. Do not scratch the surfaces when wiping them dry.

• Clean the internal and external surfaces generally with warm soapy water.

• Tighten all screws before every use to guarantee stable footing for your BBQ at all times.

• Protect your BBQ against continuous weather influences. Since it is manufactured from steel it will eventually rust. Clean possible rust spots and repair them with fireproof paint. It is important that you remove the ash from the firebox before moisture combines with the cold ash, since this leads to rust damage.

• IMPORTANT: The BBQ should always be stored somewhere where it is protected from moisture.
