3 Hazard warnings
3.1 Burn hazard
The sheet metal parts of the housing, frame, cooking grid and grease drippings container
become very hot when the unit is being used.
Protective gloves must be worn at all times when emptying the grease drippings container.
Watch out for spills of hot grease/water during emptying.
3.2 Fire hazard
Hot grease and oil on the cooking grid and in the grease drippings container can ignite far
below 200°C, especially if it is older and contaminated.
Attention!
Never extinguish burning grease with water. Use a fire blanket or a special fire
extinguisher instead.

5 Installing the units
If the unit is positioned on an easily inflammable surface or against a wall that is not
protected against fire, it is crucial to use heat-insulating, non-flammable materials that offer
radiation protection. A minimum distance of 10 cm must be kept on every side to non-
flammable materials. Above the grill surface, there must be open space with a height of at
least 70 cm.
In case of electric grills, the following must be taken into account:
There must always be a distance of at least 10 cm between non-flammable materials
and the sides and the rear wall of the grill, so that the ventilation slots in the housing
remain unobstructed. This is necessary in order to avoid an overheating of the unit. The
unit must not be covered with aluminum foil or similar materials.
The fire protection regulations must be strictly adhered to.
Important!
The manufacturer cannot assume any responsibility or warranty obligations for any
damage sustained due to non-adherence to the installation and operating instructions or
due to improper use.
6 Connecting the units
The electric grills must be connected to a 400 volt power supply source. It must be
possible to disconnect them from the power supply completely, including the neutral with
the plug or the main switch (contact distance at least 3 mm). The power supply cable must
never be wrapped around the unit in order to avoid overheating and prevent the cable
from charring.
If the power supply cable should be damaged, it must be replaced with a new one, type
H05-BQ-F (temperature-resistant min. 90°C) by the manufacturer, their customer service
or a qualified specialist in order to avoid any risks.
Only experts may connect the unit and put it into operation.
The power supply grid specifications pertaining to voltage, power and frequency must be
identical to the specifications indicated on the unit's rating plate.

7 Operating manual
Fire hazard!
Remove any kind of foil or packaging and padding materials before turning on the unit for
the first time.
Important!
When the grill is switched on for the first time, it must be put into operation for 5 - 8
minutes on full power in order to burn any oil residues.
R-55, R-55FB and R-85 models
Depending on the food to be grilled, set the continuously adjustable temperature regulator
(0-12) to the required level. Position 1 means the lowest grill temperature, Position 12 the
highest. In Position 0, the grill's heating areas are turned off. When the grill is no longer in
use, all of the grill's rotary controls must be put into Position 0. The unit is now turned off.
The grill surface (usable surface) must not be covered completely, only 80% of it at most.
There must be a heat conductivity of at least 20% between the foods to be grilled. When
using the electric grill unit, the heat must be able to escape upwards or sideways via the
grill surface.
For foods containing intestines (sausage etc.), Beer Grill AG recommends using the
grid shelf.
Attention: Burn hazard!
The following parts become very hot when the unit is in operation. Touching them may
lead to burns:
- entire housing
- grill grid
- framework
- grease drippings container
- as well as any potentially used accessories
Important!
The grease drippings container must be regularly checked, emptied and cleaned, and
even more frequently if the unit is used a lot. Any accumulated dirt and grease must be
removed (fire hazard).
Attention: Burn hazard!
Before doing so, let the grease cool down completely.
Carefully pull the container by its handle towards yourself. Touch the container with gloves
and with both hands and carefully pull out the entire container.
Empty the grease and any residuals into a prepared receptacle container for the purpose of
proper disposal. If necessary, use a grill scraper.
After emptying and cleaning the container, insert it back into the grill.

8 Cleaning
Before cleaning, the electric grill must be separated from the power supply (pull the
plug/turn off the local master switch).
In order to make subsequent cleaning as easy as possible, spray a thin layer of grill spray
every time before putting the unit into operation for prevention purposes (Article 201026).
Use the wire brush in between (Article 200884). To carry out the final cleaning, let the grill
cool down to 50-60°C, spray Beer Clean (Article 201004) and wipe using a damp cloth.
The unit must be cleaned daily. First, let the unit cool down to the lukewarm temperature.
The units may only be cleaned using a damp cloth and non-abrasive detergents.
Loose parts such as the grid shelf, the grease drippings container, the splash guard, etc.
may be cleaned in a dishwasher.
Never add salt or acids when cleaning units.
Splashing with the help of a pressure washer or a hose or cleaning it under running water
or in a dishwasher is not allowed.
Cleaning the griddle
The griddle can be washed in a dishwasher or rubbed out using a cloth. Attention! The
griddle is not made of stainless steel. In order to prevent corrosion, the griddle must be
rubbed dry and slightly oiled after the cleaning.
