*The charcoal or briquette quantity you are going to use depends on the charcoal or briquette
quality.
•Open the lower and the upper air regulator to the maximum.
•Place the charcoal in the middle of the oven by forming a pyramidal shape, set them on fire (at
least at 3 different spots) and close the door.
•The first time you heat up the oven, we recommend that you let the oven burn once without
using it. This will allow the oven to get used to higher temperatures. Use 2/3 of the
recommended amount of charcoal for your model listed on this page.
•Wait for at least 35 minutes until the charcoal has totally turned into embers. Then, close the
lower air regulator, and wait 10 minutes leaving the upper air regulator open.
•When you do not see any black charcoal, flatten and distribute the burning charcoal evenly.
•Place the grill racks inside the oven, as the oven is ready to operate.
•The lower air regulator should remain closed, the upper air regulator opened approx. by 50%.
•During the cooking, open the upper air regulator to the maximum if a lot of smoke is coming out
of the oven. The upper air regulator should remain open to the maximum, until the smoke
disappears.
•You may also maintain steady the temperature by adjusting the upper regulator.

5.2 CLEANING
▪Remove the ash from the oven when it is cold after every use.
▪It is necessary to clean the grill racks and the other roasting accessories after every
use. Clean well the door frame, especially where grease from cooking accumulates
most with a brush.
▪Remove the grease tray and wash it with a grease remover and a brush or cloth.
▪Do NOT use a corrosive grease remover to clean the outside of the oven or/and the
inside of the cabinet below.
▪Clean the door of the oven with a grease remover and a cloth.
▪Take the grill racks out of the oven carefully and clean them with a wire brush. This
must be done before cooking to clean the grease accumulated from the previous use.
▪Remove the ash drawer and clean it with a grease remover and a brush.
CAUTION! Ashes must be placed in a metal container which should be placed on a
non-combustible surface or on the ground, away from combustible materials, until their
final disposal.
▪Clean weekly the fire breaker hat. Remove the hat, turn it upside down and hit it with a
wooden or plastic spatula. The soot removal will avoid blocking the smoke exhaust.
The hat can be cleaned with grease remover and a wet cloth.
CAUTION! Do NOT use water or other liquids to clean the inside of the firebreaker.
▪The fire grates should be cleaned twice a month with a wire brush. Change the
position of the fire grates every time you clean them, putting the ones of the middle to
the sides, and the ones of the sides in the middle.
CAUTION! DO NOT use water.
