3.1. Preparing your grill for use:
To quickly and successfully assemble your grill, please follow the instructions below:
• Check if all listed parts are in the packaging. In order to do so, please refer to the
part list on item 3 of this manual.
• Before the first use, check if there is adhesive tape or protective film glued on the
grill. If so, use a soft cloth with alcohol to wipe the surface. Do not use alcohol on
the grill in any other situation.
• The TCP-400 grill is already assembled. Just place the grate in the correct position
according to figures 1 and 2. Be careful when handling your grill because there may
be sharp edges or corners.
• Take care not to hit utensils on the edge of the grill as it may damage it and create
sharp edges.

guidelines below:
DANGER

completely cooled down and the embers have been extinguished.

detergent, and warm water.

4. GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
4.1. SAFETY SYMBOLS
To draw your attention to important safety information.
• Words such as DANGER, ATTENTION, or WARNING will be used with the SAFETY
symbol .
• DANGER identifies more serious situations.
4.2. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: DANGER
• Failure to comply with the “DANGER, ATTENTION, and WARNING” messages
contained in this Safety and Instruction Manual may result in serious bodily injury,
as well as in a fire or an explosion causing property damage.
• Only use the grill outdoors. Never use it in closed spaces such as garages,
balconies, or hallways. If it is used in closed spaces, toxic fumes will accumulate,
causing serious bodily injury or death.
• 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
and only use the grill when all parts are properly assembled according to the manual.
• Do not add charcoal lighter fluids, charcoal soaked in lighter fluid, or any other
flammable fluid (petrol, alcohol, etc.) or highly volatile fluids.
• 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 reach of children.
• The grill should never be used by children or people with reduced capabilities.
• Only move the grill when it is not in use and after all parts have cooled down.
• Only remove ashes after they have cooled and the charcoal has finished burning.
Make sure the grill has cooled down.
• The charcoal must always be placed in the specified container and 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 areas with
foot traffic.
• Do not use the grill in strong winds as it can hinder its performance and increase
charcoal consumption, as well as present risks caused by hot ashes.
• Do not use the grill on surfaces that might catch fire or melt due to heat proximity
such as tall or very dry grass, plastic surfaces, and wood among others.
• Look out for sharp corners and edges.
4.3. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE: ATTENTION AND CAUTION
• During use, always keep the grill on a flat and stable surface away from combustible
or flammable materials.
• Before handling cooking grates, ashes, charcoal, or the grill itself, make sure they
are not hot.
• 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
and when handling the grill (preparing food, adding charcoal, or while it is still hot).
• We recommend using Tramontina utensils with long handles as they ensure
maintaining a safe distance from the appliance.
• 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 might come loose. Tighten
them regularly.
• Before you store your grill, remove the charcoal and 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 line 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.
• Never use the grill to support yourself and never let children climb on the appliance.
• Never lean over the grill while it is hot or in use.
Attention when handling the cooking grates:
• If moving the grill for cooking is required, use the utensil for handling grates that comes
with the product.
5. USEFUL GUIDELINES
5.1. STARTING TO USE A CHARCOAL GRILL
• For adequate air flow, the ashes accumulated in the lower part of the grate/tray
must be removed. However, verify that embers have been extinguished before doing
so.
• Follow the supplier’s instructions on the charcoal package. Observe the charcoal
capacity indicated in this manual.
• 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. We recommend using Tramontina tongs.

ATTENTION
• In coastal areas where there is high humidity or retention of certain residues (salt,
fat, food, etc.), corrosion (rust) may act more quickly on the structure of the grill due
to sea spray. Take extra care with cleaning.
• Before reusing your grill, verify its attachment systems. If necessary, retighten
them.
• The cooking grates can be cleaned with metal brushes which must be used care-
fully and exclusively for this purpose.
• Always rinse the grates well after using the metal brushes as they can lose bristles
during use. Brushes should be replaced when bristles start to come loose.
• Never use sharp objects to clean any part of the grill or remove ashes as they can
damage the finish.
• Never use abrasive cleaning products on your grill as this may damage the finish.
• Any damage to the finish will compromise the corrosion resistance of the grill
components.
• The grill must be thoroughly cleaned after use and kept in a sheltered and dry
place.
• Never wash this products’ parts in a dishwasher.
• Never use products such as ethanol, acid, or solvent.
7. DISCARDING
