ATTENTION! Before using the barbecue, get acquainted with the Safety
Instructions. Special care must be taken when using the barbecue! Using
inflammable substances not intended for grilling can lead to burns, start a fire, cause
food contamination or destroy metal surfaces!
Before grilling make sure whether the grate and the bowl are clean and do not require
cleaning and whether the device is complete, stable and shows no signs of: mechanical
damages or of the grate being burnt through. Position the barbecue in compliance with
the requirements contained in the safety instructions. Take out the food grate. Put a single
layer of charcoal or wood briquettes on the coal grate in the amount specified in the
safety instructions and then shape it into a pyramid so that the fuel has no contact with
the barbecue sides. Putting in too much fuel over the amount listed in the safety
instructions can lead to discoloration of protective coatings, burning through of the grate
or bowl, faster wear of the device or starting a fire!
This barbecue model is equipped with an air vent (on the lid), which must be completely
opened before lighting fuel. Closing the air vent limits the amount of air accessing the
fuel, thus lowering the grilling temperature.
Lighting the barbecue can be speeded up using specialized lighters or chimney starters. It
should be checked whether the lighter is intended for use with the barbecue and it should
be applied in compliance with the manufacturer’s instructions; do not use lighters with the
hot barbecue, since it creates the fire hazard or the risk of food contamination.
Light the fire from the side from which the wind is blowing, waiting with grilling food till
the flames die down and the coal gets covered with a layer of grey ash. Then distribute
the fuel uniformly over the entire surface of the coal grate using an appropriate poker or
tongs.
Carefully place the clean food grate using the protective glove. Do not grab the grate with
unprotected hands in order to avoid burns! Put the food on the grilling grate. It is
recommended to use aluminium foil grilling trays to cook dishes in order to prevent
dripping fat from catching fire.
Useful tips concerning grilling:
Lighting the barbecue can take about 20-30 minutes, therefore it is worth to start lighting the barbecue
sufficiently in advance.
Wind and low temperature lengthen the grilling process.
The more food products on the grate, the longer the grilling.
For the barbecues equipped with a charcoal grate, it is recommended to use briquettes instead of
charcoal so that the fuel does not pour to the bottom of the barbecue bowl.
The food grate can be placed on different heights over the furnace: the higher it is placed, the lower the
temperature the dishes are grilled in.
Directly before laying the dishes on the grate, flavorings can be added to charcoal in order to give food
an exceptional hint of flavor: herbs with woody stems (rosemary, thyme, bay leaf), nut shells previously
soaked in water (of walnuts, hazelnuts or almonds), cherry wood, etc. Do not use coniferous wood
since it gives food tart taste!
While grilling, periodically check the condition of food, turning it over with tongs max. 1-2 times. It is
recommended to use food thermometers to control the degree of roasting.
In order to prevent melting fat from catching fire it is recommended to cut off unnecessary bits of fat
from meat before grilling. If flames appear on the dish, move it to the edge of the grate. Fat burning on
the surface of charcoal can be extinguished with table salt.
