Operating Instructions
- Add Charcoal: Place a suitable amount of charcoal into the charcoal basket. For best results and low smoke, use high-quality charcoal specifically designed for low-smoke grills.
- Apply Lighter Fluid/Paste: Apply a small amount of lighter fluid or paste (e.g., Enders Anzündpaste) to the charcoal. Follow the instructions on the lighter fluid product.
- Ignite Charcoal: Carefully ignite the charcoal using a long lighter or match.
- Activate Fan: Turn on the E-FAN-BBQ fan unit. Adjust the fan speed to control the heat intensity. A higher fan speed will increase the charcoal temperature and cooking heat.
- Preheat Grill: Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 5-10 minutes until the charcoal is glowing and a thin layer of ash forms.
- Begin Grilling: Place food on the grill grate. Monitor cooking progress and adjust fan speed as needed.
- Refilling Charcoal: For longer grilling sessions, charcoal can be easily refilled by carefully lifting the grill grate and adding more charcoal to the basket.
- After Use: Once grilling is complete, turn off the fan unit. Allow the grill to cool down completely before cleaning.
