4. Gebruiksaanwijzing
4.1. Lighting Charcoal
To light your charcoal, we recommend using a charcoal chimney starter for efficiency and safety. Place the chimney starter on the charcoal grate, fill it with charcoal, and ignite a fire starter beneath it. Once the charcoal is fully ashed over, carefully transfer it to the grill.

4.2. Temperatuurregeling
The grill features a Pro Air control system and an ACCU-PROBE™ temperature gauge integrated into the lid for precise temperature management. Adjust the top and bottom vents to control airflow, which directly impacts the charcoal's burn rate and the grill's internal temperature.
- increasing Temperatuur: Open the vents further to allow more oxygen, increasing the heat.
- Decreasing Temperatuur: Close the vents partially to restrict oxygen, lowering the heat.

4.3. Cooking Grids
The porcelainized cast iron cooking grids are hinged for easy access, allowing you to add more charcoal or wood chips without disturbing your food. They can also be adjusted to three different levels to provide increased heat control for various cooking methods, from searing to slow roasting.

5. Onderhoud en verzorging
5.1. Cleaning the Ash Catcher
The large, removable ash catcher simplifies cleanup. After each use, once the grill has cooled completely, remove the ash catcher and dispose of the ashes safely. Clean the ash catcher with warm, soapy water.
5.2. Cleaning Cooking Grids
The porcelainized cast iron cooking grids should be cleaned after each use. While the grill is still warm, use a grill brush to remove any food residue. For a deeper clean, remove the grids and wash them with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
5.3. Exterieur reiniging
The powder-coated enameled steel body can be wiped clean with a damp doek en mild schoonmaakmiddel. Vermijd schurende schoonmaakmiddelen die de afwerking kunnen beschadigen.
