4.2 Using the Main Burners

The four continuously adjustable stainless steel burners provide a total heating power of approximately 13.9 kW. They are suitable for both direct and indirect grilling.

• Direct Grilling: Place food directly over the lit burners for searing and quick cooking.

4.3 Turbo Zone (800 °C)

The 800 °C Turbo Zone, located on the right side of the main grilling area, is designed for intense searing. It features an infrared mesh that quickly reaches extremely high temperatures (up to 800 °C) to create a perfect crust on your meat.
