5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective grilling:

1. Add Charcoal: Place an appropriate amount of lump charcoal or briquettes onto the charcoal plate. Do not overfill.

5. Place Food: Carefully place food onto the hot grill rack.
6. Using the Grid Lifter: The included grid lifter allows you to safely remove or adjust the hot grill rack to add more charcoal or adjust the heat. Insert the lifter's prongs into the grill rack and lift.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your grill.

1. Cool Down: Allow the grill to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Ash Disposal: Once cooled, remove the grill rack, charcoal plate, and grease collector. Carefully empty cooled ashes into a non-combustible container.
3. Clean Grill Rack: Scrape off any food residue from the stainless steel grill rack using a grill brush. Wash with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
4. Clean Charcoal Plate and Grease Collector: Wash these components with warm, soapy water and rinse.
5. Clean Ceramic Body: Wipe the exterior of the ceramic body with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the ceramic body in water.
6. Storage: Store the grill in a dry, covered area to protect it from the elements when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Lighting Charcoal: Ensure charcoal is dry. Use a sufficient amount of lighter fluid or a chimney starter. Ensure the bottom ventilation door is open for adequate airflow.
• Uneven Heat: Distribute charcoal evenly on the charcoal plate. Adjust the bottom ventilation door to control airflow and heat distribution.
• Excessive Smoke: Ensure the charcoal has fully ashed over before placing food. Avoid using too much lighter fluid. Ensure proper ventilation.
• Ceramic Cracking: Ceramic can crack due to sudden temperature changes or impacts. Always allow the grill to cool gradually. Avoid pouring cold water on a hot grill. Handle with care during transport and cleaning.
