WARNING
Read all safety warnings and instructions carefully before operating your grill.
Step 3
Crumple up 8-10 single newspaper pages and make 1st layer of them on the charcoal tray. Put charcoal briquettes /
fire wood on top of 1st layer to create another layers, repeat this step to form a pyramid shape.
Light the paper, allow for the charcoal briquettes / fire wood to completely ignite. Spread out charcoal / fire wood
over the charcoal tray by using long cooking tongs or long metal tube.
If using a Charcoal Chimney Starter, follow all manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding the use of their
product. Start with 8.8 pounds (4 kg) of charcoal.
Instruction for using charcoal chimney (FOR REFERENCE ONLY) :
1. Begin with three full sheets of newspaper.
2. Take 2 sheets of newspaper and roll each into a tube shape and then give them a little twist to form each of
them into a straight “rope”like shape. Be careful to not twist too tight.
3. Turn the charcoal chimney starter over and place both pieces of rolled and twisted newspaper along the inside
bottom of the charcoal chimney starter to form a complete circle. Leave a hole in the middle of the charcoal
chimney starter with no paper in it.
4. Crumple up the 3rd sheet of newspaper into a ball. Be careful to not crumple too tight. Sprinkle about 1 table
spoon of cooking oil on the ball of newspaper. You can also use a few sprits of cooking oil from a spray can.
Don’t use too much oil. Place the ball of cooking-oiled newspaper in the center of the charcoal chimney starter.
5. Flip the chimney over and add charcoal. Take care so that the newspaper does not fall out.
6. Use a match or long lighter to light the paper.
7. Stand back and watch the charcoal chimney starter do its stuff.
8. After charcoal has turned an ash gray color, carefully pour the charcoal onto your charcoal grate. Spread out
charcoal / fire wood over the charcoal tray by using long cooking tongs or long metal tube.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, ONLY use charcoal lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Do not
use gasoline, kerosene, alcohol or other flammable material for lighting charcoal. Follow all manufacturer’s warnings
and instructions regarding the use of their product. Start with 8.8 pounds (4 kg) of charcoal. Place the charcoal in the
center of each charcoal grate. Saturate charcoal with lighting fluid. Wait 2 to 3 minutes to allow lighting fluid to soak
into charcoal. Store lighting fluid at a safe distance from the grill. Make sure charcoal grate completely placed inside
the grill. Stand back and carefully light charcoal. Allow to burn until covered with a light ash (approximately 20
minutes). Spread out charcoal / fire wood over the charcoal tray by using long cooking tongs or long metal tube.
Step 4
Adjust the cooking grate at desired level by turning the flywheel and ensuring lock in place, and then insert the
Security Pin (33) at once to lock the ratchet locking device again for safety purpose.
