GENERAL DANGERS
! Liquid gas is highly flammable and highly explosive.
! If the concentration of gas is too high, asphyxiation
due to lack of oxygen can result.
! Liquid gas weighs more than oxygen and can
accumulate in depressions or if it escapes uncon-
trolled, can lead to gas concentrations that present
a health risk in small, poorly ventilated yards. This
Otto Wilde Grillers gas grill is, therefore, intended
exclusively for outdoor use and for use in areas with
adequate ventilation.
! You should make sure that liquid gas does not
escape uncontrolled.
! Instructions of the manufacturer or provider of the
gas cylinder that is being used must be followed.
! Follow the instructions relating to connection of the
gas pressure regulator provided for the gas grill.
! Ensure that no ignition sources are located in the
proximity of the grill when connecting the gas cy-
linder, especially open fires or lit cigarettes, candles,
lamps etc. Electronic devices can also pose a risk in
the event that gas escapes during connection.
! If your gas hose has exceeded its expiration date,
if required by national regulations and/or their appli-
cability, or if porous or defective areas are present, it
should be replaced.
! If you have not used your Otto Wilde Grillers gas
grill for a long time, check for gas leaks prior to use.
! Never use an open flame to search for gas leaks.
! Do not use your Otto Wilde Grillers gas grill if
there is a possibility of or in the event of a gas leak.
! Thoroughly clean your Otto Wilde Grillers gas grill
at regular intervals in accordance with the ‘Clea-
ning’ instructions.
! Liquid propane gas is not natural gas. Modification
of the grill to use natural gas and any attempts to
use natural gas with this liquid propane gas grill are
dangerous and prohibited. Any attempts to do so
will immediately void the warranty.
!
A dented or rusty gas cylinder can be dangerous
and should be tested by your gas supplier.
! Do not use gas cylinders with damaged valves.
! Gas cylinders that appear to be empty may still
contain gas. These gas cylinders should be trans-
ported and stored accordingly.
The Otto Lite is a really hot device reaching really high temperatures (1500°F /815 °C).
As a high-temperature griller, you have to master the grill and the grill process well. That’s
why we’ve put together important information for you on how to use the Otto Lite safely.
Please read this carefully, as failure to comply with the hazard warnings and precautions lis-
ted here could result in serious or even fatal injury or property damage from re or explosion.

SAFE HANDLING TIPS FOR LIQUID
PROPANE GAS CYLINDERS
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas is a petroleum product as
are gasoline and natural gas. LP gas is a gas at regu-
lar temperatures and pressures. Under moderate
pressure, inside a cylinder, LP gas is a liquid.
•
As the pressure is released, the liquid readily vaporizes
and becomes gas.
• LP gas has an odor similar to natural gas. You should
be aware of this odor.
• LP gas is heavier than air. Leaking LP gas may col-
lect in low areas and prevent dispersion.
• To fill, take the LP cylinder to a propane gas dea-
ler or look up “gas-propane” in the phone book for
other sources of LP gas.
• Air must be removed from a new LP cylinder before
the initial filling. Your LP dealer is equipped to do this.
• The LP cylinder must be installed, transported, and
stored in an upright position.
•
LP cylinders should not be dropped or handled
roughly.
• Never store or transport the LP cylinder where tem-
peratures can reach 125 °F (too hot to hold by hand)
For example: Do not leave the LP cylinder in a car
on a hot day.
Note: A re ll will last about 20-25 hours of cooking
time at normal use. You do not have to run out
before you re ll.
• Treat “empty” LP cylinders with the same care as
when full. Even when the LP tank is empty of liquid,
there still may be gas pressure in the cylinder. Always
close the cylinder valve before disconnecting.
• Do not use a damaged LP cylinder. A dented or
rusty LP cylinder or an LP cylinder with a damaged
valve may be hazardous and should be replaced
with a new one immediately.
• The joint where the hose connects to the LP cylin-
der must be leak tested each time the LP cylinder
is reconnected. For example, test each time the LP
cylinder is refilled.
• Be sure the regulator is mounted with the small vent
hole pointed downward so that it will not collect
water. This vent should be free of dirt, grease,
bugs, etc.
WARNING
! We recommend that your LP cylinder
be  lled at an authorized LP gas dealer
by a quali ed attendant who  lls the
tank by weight. Improper fi lling is dan-
gerous!
! Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet
whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only
use the appropriate dust cap provided
with the cylinder valve. Other types of
caps or plugs may result in leakage of
propane.
! Replacement LP tanks must match the
regulator connection supplied with this
Otto Wilde Grillers gas appliance.
! NEVER store a spare LP cylinder
under or near Otto Wilde Grillers
gas appliances.
! NEVER  ll the tank beyond 80% full.
Failure to follow these statements
exactly may result in a  re causing
death or serious injury.
! Only use Otto Wilde Grillers gas appli-
ances outdoors in a well ventilated
area. Do not use in a garage, building,
breezeway or any other enclosed area.
IMPORTANT CYLINDER
INFORMATION
• Your Otto Wilde Grillers Otto Lite is equipped
for a cylinder supply system designed for vapor
with-drawal.
• The proper filling methods for the filling of
your cylinder are by weight or volume, as de
scribed in NFPA 58. Please make sure your filling
station fills your LP cylinder by weight or
volume. Ask your filling station to read pur-
ging and filling instructions on the LP cylinder
before attempting to fill.

• Check to be sure that cylinders have a D.O.T.
certification 1, and that they have been date
tested 2within five years of use. Your LP gas
supplier can do this for you.
• All LP tank supply systems must include a collar
to protect the cylinder valve.
• The LP cylinder must be a 20-lb. size approxim-
tely 18 inches high and 12 inches in diameter.
• The cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the Specifications for LP-
Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada,
CAN /
CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes or
Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable.
Check that all Burner Valves are Off
Valves are shipped in the OFF position, but you
should check to be sure that they are turned off.
Check by pushing down and turning clockwise.
If they do not turn, they are off. If they do turn,
continue turning them clockwise until they stop,
then they are off.
The Liquid Propane Cylinder
All Otto Wilde Grillers LP gas grill regulators
are equipped with a UL-listed tank connection
as per the latest edition of ANSI Z21.89. This will
require a liquid propane tank that is similarly equip-
ped with a Type 1 connection in the tank valve.
This Type 1 coupling allows you to make a fast
and totally safe hookup between your gas grill
and your liquid propane tank. It eliminates the
chance of leaks
due to a POL fitting that is not
properly tightened. Gas will not flow from the tank
unless the Type 1 coupling is fully engaged into the
coupling.
LIQUID PROPANE CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS
LEAK CHECK PREPARATION 5
! WARNING: Make sure that the LP cylinder valve is closed. Close by turning valve
clockwise.
! DANGER Do not search for gas leaks using an open  ame. Before checking for leaks,
make sure that there are not any sparks or open  ames in the vicinity. Sparks or open
 ames can trigger an explosion, which could lead to serious or even fatal injuries or
material damage.

CONNECTING THE LIQUID PROPANE GAS CYLINDER
Place the propane gas cylinder in an upright,
secure position
Position the gas cylinder in such a way that it is upright
and secure and ensure that it does not come into con-
tact with any part of the Otto Lite. Position the gas
cylinder with a distance of 24"/ 60 cm from the
Otto Lite so that the radiation heat does not reach
the surface of the gas cylinder or that of the gas
hose. Also, ensure that the gas hose is not under any
tension. We recommend setting up the gas cylinder be-
hind and slightly to the right of Otto Lite.
Connect the propane gas cylinder.
To connect your Otto Lite to the gas cylinder, you
need to screw the regulator coupling onto the tank
valve by turning it in a clockwise direction. Tighten
the coupling hand-tight.
Never use the pressure regulator to tighten the
screw connection!
Connect the end of the gas hose without regulator
to the Otto Lite’s gas inlet connection.
At the end of the gas hose (which is not yet con-
nected), there is a nut with a 5/ 8"UNF thread. You
need to screw this onto the 5/8"adapter fitting at
the back of your Otto Lite, turning it clockwise.
Open the gas cylinder valve by turning it
counterclockwise.
COMMISSIONING
You require the following for a safe connection:
• Propane gas cylinder
• A foaming agent (e.g. leak detection spray, soap solution)

12
CHECK THE CONNECTION POINTS FOR LEAKS
Apply the foaming agent to both joints of the gas
hose and the joint between gas inlet and adapter
fitting. Open the valve on the gas cylinder. Now check
both joints and check whether bubbles appear. lf
bubbles appear or if a bubble that was already pre-
sent gets bigger, there is a leak. In the event of a leak,
close the valve on the gas cylinder.
Then check whether the gas hose is connected cor-
rectly and fastenend tightly. lf the screw connection
is loose on one of the connection points, tighten it.
After doing so, open the gas cylinder valve once

4 Ribeye steaks
approx. 0.6 lb. each
2.2 lbs. Sweet potatoes
1-2 Red bell peppers
3 sprigs of thyme
Rosemary
Coarse salt
Colored pepper
INGREDIENTS
FOR 4 PEOPLE
At some point you just have to start. And nothing is better than a juicy ribeye
steak. The Otto Lite has a reputation for covering this classic premium cut with
a crunchy crust in just a few seconds while the meat remains soft, pink and
juicy on the inside. At this point, you know: THE SECRET TO A STEAKHOUSE
STEAK AT HOME! Many more recipe ideas (not only for meat), tutorials and
information can be found at: www.ottogrills.com/recipes
BAPTISM OF FIRE

17
GRILL THE SIDES AND
SERVE
Sear the sweet potato slices at moderate
temperature on Meat-O-Meter stage 2 on
both sides until they’ve turned golden-brown
in color. Coat with olive oil and season with
fresh herbs, coarse sea salt and pepper.
Then, carve the dry-aged Ribeye across the
grain and also season with coarse sea salt.
Serve with the grilled sweet potato slices on
a country-style wooden board for the right
looks. And now: enjoy!
4
1PREPARATION
Take the ribeyes out of the fridge one hour
before you plan on grilling them. Let it reach
room temperature to achieve a uniform
cooking process.
In the meantime, cook the unpeeled sweet
potatoes in salt water for 10 to 15 minutes.
The tubers shouldn’t get too soft, because
otherwise they will fall apart on the grill. Cool
down and cut into slices.
Chop thyme and fresh rosemary. Remove
the core of the bell pepper and cut into slices.
PREHEATING
For the perfect ribeye the Otto Lite should
be preheated onto maximum temperature.
That takes about three minutes. Keep the
grill grate out off the grill, so the ribeye
doesn’t get precooked on the hot grid.

3GRILL THE PERFECT RIBEYE
Crucial when grilling meat: the right tem-
perature. Only when the grill is really hot you
will trigger the so-called “Maillard reaction”.
Amino acids react with sugar and this way
give your steak a nice crust. Read more
about the Maillard reaction on Otto’s Blog.
Insert the grill grate in the highest possible
insert and grill Ribeye. Set the Meat-O-Me-
ter on stage 1 and grill the Ribeye at 1500°F
for 1 minute on each side.
This applies if your steak is about one inch
thick. If it’s bigger, use a meat thermometer
for the best outcome. Your desired core tem-
perature would be between 125 and 131°F.
Afterwards, remove the ribeye from the grill
grate and let it rest. This gives the meat juices
the chance to redistribute themselves within
the meat again.
Read the article “Grilling the perfect steak”
on our website for more steak know-how.
NOTE
It may be the case that the temperature of
your new Otto Lite turns out a little bit higher
than indicated in Otto’s recipes the first few
times you use it on specific burner settings.
This is simply because the surfaces are still
especially shiny and highly reflective. The con-
ditions that exist when grilling, such as wind or
weather may make it necessary to adjust the
adjustment knobs or grilling position in order
to achieve the desired cooking temperature.
In order to always be on the safe side and to
ensure that your product is cooked as desired,
We recommend the use of a meat thermometer.

CLEANING
IMPORTANT
Do not use any cleaning products that contain
acids, mineral spirits or xylene.
After each clean, rinse thoroughly with water.
Never use a wire brush to clean the stainless
steel surfaces of your Otto Lite. This type of
brush causes scratches.
When drying and wiping down surfaces, make
sure that you wipe in the direction of the grain
of the metal. This ensures that you do not
cause visible scratches on the surfaces.
Switch off your Otto Lite, close the valve on the
gas cylinder, unscrew the gas hose and wait until
the grill and all removable parts have fully cooled
down before you start cleaning.
EXTERNAL SURFACES
You can clean these with a cloth and warm, soapy
water. Once you have finished cleaning, rinse
thoroughly with water in order to remove all soap
residues.
When it proximity of the burnes the stainless steel
surfaces in the area, make sure that the ceramic
burners do not suffer any jolts or vibrations, as this
can lead to damage.
You can now clean the inner surfaces of your
Otto Lite with a cloth and warm, soapy water. The
burners’ ceramic must do not need to be cleaned.
Once you have finished cleaning, rinse thoroughly
with water in order to remove all soap residues.
When cleaning the burner unit, make sure that no
water ends up entering the burner.
Clean the stain-
less steel surfaces of your Otto Lite exclusively with a
soft cloth and soapy water.
Note: For removing stubborn dirt you can also use
steel wool. Make sure that you always wipe in the
direction of the grain of the stainless steel in order to
prevent visible scratches on the surfaces.
Note: Dry the surfaces of your Otto Lite thoroughly
after use with a kitchen towel.
CAST IRON GRILL GRATE
Use a washing-up brush to brush off your cast iron
grill grate under warm, running water. Once you
have removed all cooking residues from your grill
grate, dry it off thoroughly with a kitchen towel.
Then wrap up your grill grate in an old towel and
stow it away until the next use.
Warning: Use an old kitchen towel when drying
your cast iron grill grate so that residual grease
does not ruin your favourite kitchen towel.
STORAGE
The gas must be turned off at the liquid propane
cylinder when the Otto Lite is not in use.
When your Otto Lite is stored indoors, the gas supply
must be DISCONNECTED and the LP cylinder stored
outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
LP cylinder must be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated area out of reach of children.
Disconnected LP cylinder must not be stored in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
When the LP cylinder is not disconnected from the
Otto Lite, the appliance and LP tank must be kept
outdoors in a well-ventilated space.
REMOVABLE DRIP TRAY
Remove the majority of the residual grease with
paper towels before washing out the drip tray with
warm, soapy water. Then rinse the drip tray once
more using clear water.

the burners by turning the operation
knobs to the large flame position and
pressing down without using the piezo
igniter. If you do not hear any gas flow,
loosen the hose on the device and check
if the connection is clogged. If you can
hear the gas, your device and gas con-
nection probably needs a good clean.
Place the food you want to grill in such
a way that it has absolutely no contact
to the flame supervision device (bi-me-
tal probe next to spark electrode).
Then, you can reignite the burner.
