Safety instructions:
Operation:
During operation parts of the housing become extremely hot. Especially in the area surrounding the ceramic
burner temperatures are generated which can cause severe burns, if you touch any surface, or cause re or
damage upon contact with substances or objects.
Make sure that the Beefer is placed on a sufciently large heat-proof surface base. The temperature is very high
especially in front of the front opening. Under any circumstances, the cooking grate handle must not remain xed
to the grate while it is inside the Beefer; because the handle can become extremely hot and cause severe burns
if touched. Always use the oven mitt supplied if you have to hold the handle. The surface must be even and do
not move the Beefer during use. Make sure that the ame is not affected by strong winds. Wind could blow out
the ame or cause an irregular combustion. Do not keep any combustible or heat-sensitive substances of objects
near the Beefer. Also bear in mind - when placing the appliance close to a building wall - that it may contain heat-
sensitive insulation material.
Never leave the Beefer unattended during operation and make sure that children or pets do not go
near the Beefer.
For any work on the Beefer’s housing, wait till it is cooled down completely.
- LP gas is highly ammable and highly explosive.
- LP gas is heavier than oxygen and may lead to harmful gas concentrations at the bottom of sinks or, for
example, in small poorly ventilated courtyards in case of uncontrolled outow.
- Make sure that there is no uncontrolled outow of the LP gas.
- Too high concentration of gas can cause suffocation from lack of oxygen.
- When you are using the gas cylinders, follow the requirements of the manufacturer or those of its lender.
- Use the Beefer exclusively outdoors and always make sure of adequate ventilation.
- Make sure that the gas tube does not come into contact with the Beefer.
- The gas cylinder and the tube may not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 50°C.
- Ignite the Beefer’s ceramic burner element exclusively with a sufciently long
match and follow exactly the ignition procedure described in the section “Getting started”.
- If the ceramic burner unit should go out, close the gas supply and wait until the Beefer is cooled down
before reigniting it.
- When you are connecting the gas cylinder there should not any source of ignition in the vicinity of the
Beefer, especially no open ames or burning cigarettes, candles, lamps and so on. Even electrical equipment
can pose a danger, if the gas escapes when connecting it.
- Before each use, make sure to check the gas tubes and connections. And after a long gap,
check the burner area and venturi tube for traces of foreign bodies, such as insects, which could clog the
gas supply. Remove them carefully with suitable instruments.
- Do not use the Beefer if the gas tube is porous or defective.
- If the hose pipe has a maximum prescribed period of use, if local regulations
require it and/or it has expired or shows porous or damaged areas, it should be replaced immediately.

Function:
In the Beefer, the gas passes through the gas tube into the ceramic burner element. It must be manually ignited
with a match. For ease of maintenance, among other reasons, an electrical ignition was not considered, since it
tends to lose its reliability over time.
The heat radiation is about 800°C in the immediate vicinity of the ceramic burner element.The extreme heat has
a sort of supercial caramelizing effect on the meat placed on the grate. Thus, the meat is done well and gets a
unique taste.
Scope of delivery:
On delivery, the Beefer includes the following articles. Before use, check the package contents for complete-
ness.
1 x Beefer with gas tube and pressure regulator
1 x Grill grate
1 x Beefer’s grill grate handle
1 x Standard catering tray
1 x Oven mitt
1 x Matches

Once you have placed the Beefer in a location that satises the above-mentioned safety instructions, you can start
connecting it with the gas cylinder.
The gas cylinder must be placed in an upright stable position at a distance from the Beefer without overstretching
the tube and without touching parts of the Beefer at any point. But at the same time it should be so far away so
that heat radiation from the Beefers does not reach the surface of the gas cylinder or the gas tube.
Now you must connect the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder’s valve.
Note that the screw joints are of left-handed thread.
Use a suitable tool and do not use the pressure regulator for tightening the screw joint with the gas cylinder.
ATTENTION:
If the tube has a maximum prescribed period of use, if the local regulations require it and/or it is expired or
shows porous or damaged areas, replace it. If you smell gas during the Beefer’s operation or suspect any leakage
of gas-bearing components, you must cut off the gas supply immediately. You may start the Beefer again only after
rectifying the cause of leakage.
Precautions:
- LP gas is highly ammable and highly explosive.
- Too high concentration of gas can cause suffocation from lack of oxygen.
- LP gas is heavier than oxygen and may lead to harmful gas concentrations at the bottom of sinks or, for
example, in small poorly ventilated courtyards in case of uncontrolled outow.
- Make sure that there is no uncontrolled outow of the LP gas.
- When you are using the gas cylinders, follow the requirements of the manufacturer or those of its lender.
- Use the Beefer exclusively outdoors and always make sure of adequate ventilation.
- Make sure that the gas tube does not come into contact with the Beefer.
- The gas cylinder and the tube may not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 50°C. (122°F)
- When you are connecting the gas cylinder there should not any source of ignition in the vicinity of the
Beefer, especially no open ames or burning cigarettes, candles, lamps and so on. Even electrical equipment
can pose a danger, if the gas escapes when connecting it.
- Do not use the Beefer if the gas tube is porous or defective.
- Before each use, make sure to check the gas tubes and connections. And after a long gap,
check the burner area and venturi tube for traces of foreign bodies, such as insects, which could clog the gas
supply. Remove them carefully with suitable instruments
Connecting the gas cylinder :

Leak test:
You must carry out a leak test for all gas-bearing components after connecting the gas cylinder for the rst time,
every time after changing the cylinder or a prolonged gap. For this purpose, you can use a commercially available
leak detection spray.
Turn on the gas supply and use the spray according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not use a naked ame to detect leaks under any circumstances.
If you detect a leaky connection, turn off the gas supply immediately and retighten the corresponding connection.
Run the leak test all over again.
If you are about how to connect the gas cylinder and the tube, or you are doubtful about the leak test, please get
a qualied technician to do the job of connecting the gas-bearing components.

The philosophy:
NewYork Steakhouse quality at home!The Beefer is the answer to the increasing demand for the quality of grilled
meats and it follows the trend to let you enjoy high-quality meat preparations and forget the mass production
and inferior quality.
The Beefer has been originally developed for preparing the perfect steaks. However, experience has shown that,
for example, even tuna, salmon, scallops, shrimp, pork, lamb, vegetables, including crème brûlée and many other
preparations come out perfectly and open up entirely new perspectives of taste.
For this, a ceramic high-performance burner with optimized surface structure provides extremely high barbeque
temperatures of about 800°C (1.472°F)
The Beefer is characterized by two main features: on the one hand, it operates with top heat and, on the other
hand, it does this with such high temperature that other conventional grills cannot achieve it.
The extremely high grilling temperature results in a sort of caramelization of the surface of the grill item, that is
to say, the meat gets a crispy surface crust that is sure to give you an undiscovered experience of taste. Currently,
a rare grilled ribeye steak with such crispy surface cannot be achieved in this unique dimension with conventional
grills.
You achieve the preferred degree of cooking, like Medium Rare or Medium by letting the meat rest after processing
on the tray in front of the Beefer or on top of the Beefer and allow it to continue cooking.
The Beefer is ideally suited to rene sous-vide or low temperature cooked meat with a perfect crust.
The height adjustment permits you to t the grill item perfectly according to its thickness.
With the Beefer you will be at last able to cook even thin pieces of meat perfectly, because, due to the high
temperature, the meat takes only very little time to be cooked perfectly crispy outside and inside and still be done
rare to medium.
In this process, the top heat prevents dripping meat juice from burning and thus harmful vapours from reaching
the grill item.
The grate takes one to two pieces of meat.This is intentional because the meat preparation with the Beefer allows
you to follow up with some other procedures, as described later, so that you can fully enjoy a range of unique
meat preparations.
The Beefer is not a grill appliance to cater to a whole grill party with masses of meat, but it is intended to do justice
to a precious food item like meat cooked to perfection.
With a little practice, anyone can prepare the perfect steak à la NewYork Steakhouse.

Using the Beefer:
Which meat?
High quality beef is always the most suitable item.You achieve the best results with meat that is well air-dried,
ideally ripened through Dry Age method. In this regard, llet, rump steak with a small rim of fat, ribey steak and
all types of steaks on the bone, such as ox chop, Porterhouse or T-Bone are the best choice. Even with not
really expensive beef from the bovine neck (tongue piece) you can achieve outstanding results thanks to the
preparation in the Beefer.
Our personal favourite is the ribeye with the strongest possible marbling in the muscle tissue.
The meat must be at room temperature before cooking. Only in this way the desired degree of doneness can be
reliably produced. Moreover, in the case of cold meat, the fat portions brown faster than muscle tissue, resulting
in a non-uniform crust.
Fillets of tuna or salmon can be covered as well with a tasty very thin crust, where they retain their core raw in the
middle. This is also difcult to achieve on conventional grills, since there always the risk of sh getting overcooked
in the middle, and thus becoming dry, even if the outer crust has the desired roasting. Also the sh sticking to the
grate is thing of the past.
Even deserts like crème brûlée and candied fruits can be prepared in the Beefer perfectly and easily.
Getting started:
Before operating the Beefer, you must be sure to have complied with all safety instructions described in the
previous section with regard to connection and leak test.
First, remove the grate from the Beefer. Then, place the meat on a cold grate. The included standard catering try
should always be at the bottom in the Beefer, so that dripping meat juices are collected in it..
You must strictly adhere to the sequence of the next steps!!!
To start up the Beefer, st, open the gas cylinder valve.
At this point of time, gas should not ow out from any point or gas odour should not be perceptible. If this be the
case, you must not operate the appliance.
Then, use a sufciently long match or a lighter to ignite by holding it as vertically as possible under the ceramic
burner element. Make sure to keep your hand as far as possible away from the burner.

Getting started::
Then, turn the adjustment knob of the safety valve so that the large ame symbol is directed towards you (arrow
on the cover plate ▼).
Only now depress the adjustment knob to open the gas supply into the burner. As soon as the gas is ignited,
retract the match and release the adjustment knob of the safety valve just after about 5 seconds.
Note that the temperature of about 800°C (1.472°F) is achieved only when the maximum ame symbol is
directed towards the arrow.
To cut off the Beefer simply close the gas cylinder valve.
You may reignite the Beefer only after it is cooled down.
In cold state the safety valve prevents gas from escaping at the cylinder’s opened valve.
During operation, always make sure that the temperature sensor in the rear wall of the combustion chamber does
not come into contact with the cold grill item, since otherwise the gas supply gets switched off by the safety valve.
