■ WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-light-
ing! Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3! Otherwise
there may be uncontrollable heat caused by deflagrations.
■ Only ever use solid firelighters as liquid firelighters might
attack the ceramic.
■ Use only barbecue charcoal (tested to DIN EN 1860-2) for
barbecuing. Do not use charcoal briquettes so that the ceramic
is not damaged!
■ This barbecue device gets very hot. Always wear barbecue
gloves when using the barbecue (preparing food, adjusting the
ventilation, using a chimney starter, adding fuel, using the ther-
mometer, etc.). You should also only ever touch the barbecue
while wearing barbecue gloves immediately after the embers
have been extinguished because the surfaces will remain hot
for a little while. The barbecue gloves (to prevent thermal risks)
must conform to DIN EN 407 (Category II).
■ Use barbecue utensils with long, heat-resistant handles.
■ In the event of a fire: smother the flames with a suitable fire-
proof blanket or a fire extinguisher.
NOTICES FOR ASSEMBLY
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.
• Check the items supplied for completeness and the compo-
nents for transport damage. If any parts are missing or dama-
ged, contact the customer service department (see last page).
• Remove any films, stickers or transport protection from the
barbecue.
• 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 barbecue.
• 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
• 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 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 barbecue, 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!
■ WARNING! This barbecue will become very hot, do not move
it during operation.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ The barbecue may be filled with a maximum of 2,5 kg of fuel.
■ Before barbecuing for the first time, heat up and allow the fuel
to glow for at least 30 minutes to harden the lacquer coating.
■ Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
■ Never pour water onto the hot barbecue to avoid burns and
scalding.
1. Insert the charcoal grate into the charcoal tray.
2. Layer charcoal up on the charcoal grate. Note the maximum
permitted amount.
L
You can also mix smoking chips in with the charcoal to
produce a smoky flavour.
3. Place one or two solid firelighters on top and ignite.
4. Wait until you see white ash on the charcoal. The charcoal is
then in the optimum condition and you can start barbecuing.
5. Insert the grill rack.
6. Place the food on the grill rack and close the lid.
7. You can regulate the temperature in the barbecue with the
amount of air supplied: the more air, the more heat. Open or
close the ventilation grille or air flow regulator, as required.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
PLEASE NOTE!
■ Allow all parts to cool down completely before you clean the
device, place a cover over it or store it away.
■ 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 envi-
ronmentally friendly way.
• Clean the grill rack with warm water, washing-up liquid and a
sponge. Allow it to dry completely or dry it off before storing
it away.
• If necessary, you can clean the cold charcoal grate and the in-
sides of the barbecue with a dry soft brush.
• You can wipe off any soiling on the outsides of the barbecue
with a damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents.
• Store it in a dry, weatherproof location.
DISPOSAL
Pay attention to cleanliness when handling the barbecue and dis-
posing of waste materials. As a general rule, you should only dispose
of waste materials in designated metal or non-flammable containers.
The local regulations on waste disposal apply.
To dispose of the barbecue, dismantle it into its individual parts
and recycle any metals and plastic.
Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally
friendly manner so that it can be recycled.
