How to Install Kosei Charcoal (ceramic charcoal)
The ceramic charcoal consists of 3 types.
A: 27ΦPipe-type
B: 16ΦWith ring
C: Branch-type (imitating charcoal)
A, B and C are referred to as ‘Kosei charcoal’ as a general term.
1. First, please set the 27Φcharcoal in the concave area of the semicircular charcoal receiver in the
fire bed.
Please set Kosei charcoal 27Φin the front and back
of the charcoal tray.
2. When setting Kosei charcoal, please set the rear heat induction plate first, and then set the 27Φ
charcoal so that it is pressing against the rear heat induction plate.
You will be able to set it efficiently if you set the front heat induction plate after setting the 27Φ
charcoal, 16Φcharcoal. (Refer to Page 1 Heat Induction Plate)

3. After setting the 27Φcharcoal, please place the 16Φcharcoal (With ring) between 27Φand
27Φ. Basic set-up is now complete.
You will be able to do standard grilling when you ignite it in this state.
Please place the branch-type casually as though putting down natural charcoal. The dramatic
impact will be increased.

Example of setting 16Φcharcoal
Please set between 27Φ
and 27Φ.
How to Ignite
1. Before setting the gas stopcock to ‘Open’, please make sure that the appliance cock is on ‘Shut’.
2. While pushing the ignition knob, please turn it in the ignition direction (counter-clockwise).
The pilot flame will ignite with a clicking sound. When you let go of it at this point, the main
burner will ignite. (If it does not ignite the first time, please repeat the same action again slowly.)
It will take some time when the appliance is first installed, as there will be air inside the appliance.
When setting to medium flame, please use at the middle position. In this instance as well, please
set to full-open first and then turn it back to medium flame.
3. To put out the flame, please turn the knob back. (In a clockwise direction)
4. When you are finished using it, please be sure to shut off the gas stopcock.

p.7
Caution Regarding Use
1. The Kosei Charcoal Griller is a professional grilling device for business use and has high heating
power, and as such it is recommended for use by persons who are familiar with,
or for use under the guidance of persons who are familiar with, the handling of professional
appliances.
2. After making sure that the griller cock is shut off, please perform the actions for ignition with the
stopcock fully open.
3. Please be absolutely sure to put water into the drip catch tray drawer below.
Cleaning later is also made easy if you lay out aluminum foil underneath.

4. This griller is a grilling and broiling cooking machine. Please do not ever use it or modify it etc.
(teppan-yaki) for any other purpose. There is risk of death or serious injury.
Please be in absolutely
strict compliance in order to prevent injury or asset loss before such occurs.
5. If residual grilling matter or sauce etc. should fall in large quantities even during use, please use a
rod-shaped object to remove the residual matter etc.
so that the flame below can be seen between the Kosei charcoal pieces while using the griller.

p.8
About Cleaning
1. It is not necessary to wash Kosei charcoal every day, but if there is sauce etc. that is stuck to it,
please turn the ceramic charcoal halfway over with the stuck sauce etc.
facing downward the next
day to the extent possible prior to use, so that it will then become ash when ignited.
Please make left-over ash at the top fall into the drip catch tray.
2. Please clean the drip catch tray every day or as needed. Please be careful, as residual grilling
matter etc. will catch fire if it accumulates and will become a cause of accidents.
3. After tending to grime in the main unit, please sufficiently eliminate moisture with a dry cloth.
If grime is left on the way it is, it burns on and becomes hard to remove.
4. Please remove grime stuck to the walls of the fire bed with a spatula, etc.
5. Never pour water on it.
The outside, fire bed area and entire main unit must never, ever be washed with water. (The life
span of the main unit will be shortened considerably.)
To Grill for Good Flavor
1. Always heat for 6~8 minutes after ignition and let the Kosei charcoal warm up sufficiently
and use the griller in such a way that far infrared radiation is emitted in a highly efficient state.
If you use the
grilling grate during this time, the grilling grate will also heat up at the same time
and it will become harder for food to become burned and stuck on.
2. This griller is regularly used as the next closest thing to grilling with charcoal, but it unfortunately
does not give the aroma of natural charcoal. If you desire the aroma of natural charcoal, please
place 2~3 pieces of unlit natural charcoal in the fire bed. They will gradually catch fire and your
grilled food will have the greatest grilled flavor through the aroma of natural charcoal
and a smoked
effect. However, please be sufficiently careful to put in no more than 2~3 pieces of
natural charcoal at maximum, and after you are finished with operations,
please be sure to make ashes fall into the
drip catch tray and to be diligent in sufficiently disposing of remaining lit ashes and charcoal.
3. A rough guideline for the amount of natural charcoal to put in is one approximately 10 cm piece of
charcoal per burner.

p.9
Before Maintenance
Immediately after using the griller, the appliance and especially the fire bed will reach high
temperatures and, as such, there is the risk of burns etc., so please wait to do maintenance
until it has sufficiently cooled.
