• Keep the grill away from combustible materials, vapors, gases and flammable
liquids such as gasoline, alcohol etc.
• Incorrect assembly can be dangerous. Follow this manual’s assembly instructions
as well as the video available on Tramontina’s website. Only use the grill when all
parts are properly assembled according to the manual.
• If your grill model is TCP-560 do not store sharp, flammable or fuel materials on
the lower rack. Make sure the ash tray is correctly fitted to the place indicated in the
manual before you light the grill (do not light or operate the grill without it).
• Do not add charcoal lighter fluids, charcoal soaked in lighter fluid, or any other
highly volatile or flammable fluid (petrol, alcohol, etc...) fluids.t
• Always be careful when using the grill as surfaces will become very hot during
operation.
• Never leave children, pets, or people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental
capabilities unsupervised near a hot grill.
• Keep small parts and plastic bags out of the reach of children.
• The grill should never be used by children or people with reduced capabilities.
• When using skewers with the grill, keep them away from children, pets, and people
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.
• Only move the grill when it’s not in use and after all parts have cooled down.
• For models TCP-450, TCP-450L and TCP-560 be extra careful not to lift the
supporting feet excessively, as it can put the grill out of balance.
• Only remove ashes after they have cooled down and the charcoal has finished
burning. Make sure the grill has cooled down.
• The charcoal must always be placed in the specified container never directly at the
bottom of the grill.
• Be careful when handling and storing hot electric lighters.
• Keep wires and electric cables away from the grill’s hot surfaces and away from
areas with foot traffic
• Do not use the grill in strong winds; as they can hinder its performance increase
charcoal consumption, and present risks caused by hot ashes.
4.3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: ATTENTION AND CAUTION
• During use always keep the grill on a flat, stable and non-tilted surface, away from
combustible or flammable materials.
• If your grill is the TCP-560 the front foot works as a locking device to ensure the
appliance is stable.
• If your grill has a lid, remove or lift it during the process of lighting the charcoal
until the embers are formed.
• When using the TCP-450L without the lid, carefully hang it by correctly attaching
the internal lid support to the edge of the bowl.
• When using your TCP-560 grill without a lid, carefully hang it by attaching the pin
to the side holder.
• Before handling cooking grates, ashes, charcoal or the grill itself, make sure they
are not hot.
• If your grill has a lid use the handles for safety.
• Do not leave the grill unattended while the fire/embers are lit or the ashes and
grill are hot.
• Never use water to control flames or to extinguish the fire as this can damage
the finish of the grill.
• We recommend using Tramontina protective mitts against the heat during use,
when handling the grill, preparing food, adjusting the air inlet/outlet, adding charcoal
or opening/closing the lid.
• We recommend using Tramontina utensils with long handles as they provide a
safe distance from the appliance.
• Never place the hot lid on a surface that might burn easily such as, carpets, fabrics,
grass, wood, plastic, etc. If your model is either TCP-450 or TCP-560 use the side
holder with the appropriate fit.
• Never discard embers in places where they can be stepped on or cause a fire. Never
discard ashes or charcoal before they have cooled down completely.
• Due to variations in temperature, your grill screws may come loose. Tighten them
regularly.
• Before you store your grill, remove the charcoal, ashes, and clean the cooking
grates (see cleaning instructions).
• Never assemble or handle the grill while under the influence or drugs, prescribed
or not, such as alcohol, medication, etc.
• This grill should not be used in or on vehicles and/or boats.
• This grill must never be used as a heater.
• Never fill the bottom of the grill with any material as this will block the air flow.
• Do not wear loose clothing while igniting or using the grill.
• Models TCP-450L and TCP-560 are equipped with a thermometer. Be careful not
to hit or scratch the grill to ensure normal operation of the appliance.
• Never use the grill to support yourself and never let children climb on the appliance.
• Do not move the grill while in use or still hot.
• For the TCP-320F grill we recommend using Tramontina skewers 26499/011 (blade
length: 40 cm).
• For the TCP-560 grill we recommend using Tramontina skewers 75cm.
Attention when handling the cooking grates:
• For TCP-320, TCP -320L, TCP-320F, TCP-450 and TCP450, use the utensil for
the handling grates that come with the product.
• For TCP-560: Remove the metallic ring for skewers. The smaller cooking grate should be
moved with the utensil for handling grates that come with the product. The larger cooking
grate should be moved by its own handles with the Tramontina protective mitts.
5. USEFUL GUIDELINES
5.1. STARTING TO USE A CHARCOAL GRILL
• Remove the lid and open all air inlets and outlets before lighting the fire. Please
disregard this information if your model does not have this feature.
• For adequate air flow, the ashes accumulated in the lower part of the grate/tray
must be removed, but verify the embers have been extinguished before doing so.
• Charcoal needs oxygen to burn which is why the air inlets and outlets must remain
unobstructed.
• Follow the supplier’s instructions on the charcoal package. Observe the charcoal
capacity indicated in this manual according to your grill model.
• Make a pyramid with the charcoal and light according to this manual’s instructions.
• After approximately 15 to 20 minutes of fire, spread the embers with the long
handled tongs according to your chosen cooking method. We recommend using
Tramontina tongs.
5.2. STEPS TO A GREAT BARBECUE
Please follow these guidelines to prepare your barbecue:
• There are two methods of cooking on a grill: direct and indirect. Read the instructions
for preparing your barbecue, consulting the following pages for specific guidelines.
• Do not place the food on the grate before obtaining an ideal brazier. Leave the
charcoal to burn until embers are formed (keep air inlets/outlets unobstructed so the
fire does not die out).
• If your grill has an option to adjust the air flow, the internal intensity of the heat can
be increased or reduced by making these adjustments.
• If your model is equipped with a thermometer it is possible to measure the internal
temperature of the grill, making preparation easier.
• Make sure the food does not touch the lid when you close it.
• In order to keep food juicy, we recommend using Tramontina spatulas or tongs
to prevent creating holes in the food.
• To preserve the natural juices of the foods, avoid pressing them against the grate.
• When using the lid during preparation, remove it by sliding it sideways. This will
prevent ashes from falling on top of the food.
• Do not defrost beef, fish, or chicken at room temperature. Defrost in the fridge.
• Wash hands thoroughly with water and soap before handling, preparing and
consuming food.
• Use different boards for cutting raw and cooked foods.
• Wash all kitchen utensils with warm water and soap, rinsing them well before and
after use.

6.2. INDIRECT METHOD
The indirect method is recommended for the TCP-560 model only.
If using the indirect method, use the grate for cooking more slowly, not subjecting
the bottom part of the food to direct contact with the heat from the brazier as shown
on pictures 53 and 54. When preparing for indirect cooking, spread the embers to
both sides. The heat then rises, follows the curve of the grill, is distributed inside,
and wraps around the food.
Due to the use of the metal tray in this method, the fat and juice released from the food
do not drip straight down the grill walls, or into the brazier, which reduces the amount
of smoke and avoids the occurrence of flames. Please see description.
Use indirect cooking for food that requires longer than 25 minutes to prepare, or for
food that might get dry or burnt if exposed directly to the heat source. Examples:
boned pieces of poultry, whole fish, or fish fillets.
6. COOKING METHODS
6.1. DIRECT METHOD
If using the direct method, use the grate for cooking keeping the bottom part of the
food in direct contact with the heat from the brazier, as shown in pictures 49, 50, 51
and 52. The food should be turned at alternating times regardless of what you are
preparing. Use the direct method for food that takes less than 25 minutes to prepare,
such as steak, ribs, vegetables, etc.

DRIP TRAY
FOR FAT.
Using the grill with the lid on will allow the heat to follow its curve, making it circulate
slowly to roast the food evenly.
Follow the stages below for indirect cooking::
1. Open air inlets/outlets;
2. Put the recommended amount of charcoal in the center of the charcoal tray/grate
(refer to the chart for recommended amount of charcoal);
3. Light the charcoal. Keep the grill open until the brazier is formed (approximately
15 to 20 minutes);
4. Spread the embers to the edges of the grill, leaving enough room for a metal drip
tray** with water between the embers to prevent the release of smoke;
Note: The minimum recommended amount of water is half the capacity of the tray.
(** Metal drip tray does not come with the product)
5. Place the cooking grate on the upper rack of the holders;
6. Place the food in the center of the cooking grate (above the drip tray);
7. If necessary, use the grill lid.
GRILL AMOUNT OF CHARCOAL
TCP-560 Approximately 2.0 kg
Make sure the charcoal is not too close to the cooking grate.
The bigger the air inlet, the more the charcoal will burn and be consumed which
will result in quicker cooking. If you want the food to cook more slowly, the air inlet
should be reduced.
ATTENTION
It is not possible to use the indirect cooking method in the TCP-320, TCP-320L,
TCP-320F, TCP-450 and TCP - 450L models.
Follow the steps below for direct cooking:
1. Open air inlets/outlets;
2. Put the recommended amount of charcoal in the center of the charcoal tray/grate
(please refer to the chart for recommended amount of charcoal);
3. Light the charcoal. Keep the grill open until the brazier is formed (approximately
15 to 20 minutes);
4. Spread the embers evenly across all of the tray/grate of the grill;
5. Place the cooking grate(s) according to the assembly instructions. If using skewers*
the cooking grate(s) must be removed. (*Skewers do not come with the product).
6. Place the food on the cooking grate or skewer;
7. If necessary and if the feature is available on your model, use the grill lid.
GRILL AMOUNT OF CHARCOAL
TCP-320, TCP-320L AND TCP-320F Approximately 1.0 kg
TCP-450 andTCP-450L Approximately 2,0 kg
TCP-560 Approximately 2.5 Kg
Make sure the charcoal is not too close to the cooking grate.
The bigger the air inlet, the more the charcoal will burn and be consumed which
will result in quicker cooking. If you want the food to cook more slowly, the air inlet
should be reduced. Please disregard this information if your model does not have
this feature.
