5. Before Grilling
Cleaning the BBQ grate
* Prior to first use, wash the BBQ grate and the warming grill with warm soapy water.
Pre-fire
* Before you use the charcoal grill for the first time, it needs to be conditioned (pre-fired) for at least 30 minutes at a temperature of 100°C-200°C. Pre-firing is necessary in order to prepare the inside of the kamado for barbecuing.
6. Caution: Risk of Burning
The charcoal grill, the charcoal and the food become hot during use. Any contact can result in serious burns.
* Keep sufficient distance from the hot parts, since any contact can lead to severe burns.
Always wear oven or BBQ gloves when grilling.
Use only long-handled utensils with heat-resistant hand grips.
DO NOT wear any clothing with wide sleeves.
- Only operate the barbecue with charcoal in accordance with DIN EN 1860-2.
- Use only dry lighters or special fluid lighters compliant with EN 1860-3 as firelighters
7. Operation
1. Open the lid and lift out the BBQ grill grid 2. Place 2-3 solid fire starters in the middle of the charcoal plate. Pay attention to the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging. 3. Place charcoal in no more than approx. 70% of the BBQ bowl. For best results, we do not recommend moving coal after ignition. 4. Open the air inlet of the BBQ body and light the firelighters using a long-stemmed match. 5. WARNING! Avoid letting the flames get too high, in order to avoid damaging the lid seal. 6. Insert the BBQ grill grid into the body of the kamado
8. Cooling Down the BBQ
1. Close the air controller in the lid and the air inlet on the BBQ Body completely after barbecuing, so that the embers extinguish. NEVER EXTINGUISH THE EMBERS WITH WATER. 2. It will take a few hours for the BBQ to completely cool down.
9. Temperature Control
1. Close the lid. 2. Open the air controller in the lid and the air inlet on the BBQ body. 3. Monitor the temperature on the thermometer. As soon as the BBQ temperature approaches the desired temperature, close the lid’s air controller and the air inlet on the BBQ body in order to maintain this temperature. Leave both completely closed, until the cooking temperature has been reached. 4. Then regulate the temperature using the air controller. 5. In order to reduce the temperature drastically, briefly and carefully open the lid..

14. Cleaning
WARNING
Health Risk
DO NOT use any de-colorants or thinners to remove stains. These are harmful to health and may never come into contact with food. Risk of Burning The charcoal grill and the charcoal are very hot even after grilling. Any contact can result in serious burns.
Allow the charcoal grill to cool down completely before cleaning. Only remove the ash when the charcoal has completely burned out. * Risk of Damage
DO NOT use any strong or grinding solvent or abrasive pads, since these can attach the surfaces and leave behind scrape marks. Remove the cold ashes. It is very important that you remove the ash before moisture combines with the cold ash. Ash is saline and, when moist, will attach the inside of the ash collection tray. Thus, over the course of years, the ash collecting tray can sustain damage through rust. Remove the BBQ Grill Grid, clean it thoroughly with soapy water and rinse it down with clean water. Carefully dry off the BBQ grill grid and insert it back into the BBQ. The inside of the BBQ is self-cleaning. CAUTION! Do not use water or cleaning products on the inside of the BBQ. The walls are porous and absorb liquids, which can cause cracks to form in the creaming lining when the BBQ is next used.
15. Storage
Store the charcoal grill in a dry and dust-free place.
Check all the device parts before next use and tighten the screws and nuts if necessary.
If you cover the charcoal grill with a dust cover, make sure that the cover is only put on when the charcoal grill has cooled down and is clean and dry. Otherwise, it can lead to severe corrosion.
