•Approximately 15 minutes after ignition of the
charcoals, a white ash should appear on the burning
material. This means that the optimal grilling
temperature has been reached.

barbequing your food.
•NOTE: when using the grill for the first time, heat it up
for another 15 minutes before you start grilling.
After Cooking:
•Allow the grill to cool down completely at the end of the
grilling process.
•Remove the grill tray and dispose of the charcoal.
•Insert the grill tray into the case, pull the locking bars
upwards and close the case.
•For cleaning, all you need is a dishcloth, warm water
and a commercial detergent. Do not use abrasive
cleaners!

WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-
lighting.
Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3.
1. Lift the cooking grill and place a small quantity of charcoal
into the charcoal pan. Light in accordance with the
instructions on the charcoal pack.
2. The venting holes in the upper grill tray will increase the
airflow and cause the charcoal to burn faster.
3. When the charcoal becomes red hot, add more charcoal for
cooking. The maximum fill level for charcoal is the top of
the charcoal pan, (before the venting holes).
4. Wait approximately 15 minutes before lowering the grill rack
to start cooking. Do not cook before the charcoal has a
coating of ash.
WARNING: When using your barbecue for the first time, allow
the charcoal to remain red hot for an additional 15 minutes
before cooking.
WARNING: Accessible parts will be hot –avoid touching the BBQ
while hot, however if it is necessary, make sure to wear oven
gloves when touching the barbecue.
WARNING: Do not extinguish with water as this may damage the
barbecue.

FOOD SAFETY
•Thoroughly defrost frozen meat and poultry in the
refrigerator before cooking. Keep raw meat and poultry
separate from cooked foods.
•Always wash hands after handling raw meat and poultry,
before handling any ready to eat foods.
•Wipe and disinfect surfaces that have been in contact with
raw meat and poultry.
•When barbecuing meat and poultry, make sure the barbecue
is extremely hot. Place the larger, thicker portions furthest
away from the most intense heat to ensure thorough cooking
without burning and turn regularly.
•Use separate utensils for handling raw meat/poultry and
cooked food on the barbecue, or wash them thoroughly
between uses.
•To check whether meat, particularly poultry, is cooked,
pierce the flesh with a skewer or fork; the juices should run
clear. Ensure the product is piping hot throughout.
