5.2 To assemble the appliance
Put the appliance on a flat and clean surface.
1
Assemble the appliance as shown on the assembly
2
drawings.
You find the assembly drawings in the second part of this
3
manual, after the exploded view of your appliance.
Be careful when assembling enamelled parts. Use the
1
provided fiber washers to protect the enamel around the
screws.
Do not use any tools to assemble the appliance. You can
1
only use a cross-slotted screwdriver to adjust the tension
on the clips at the bottom of the central pipe.
6 GETTING THE APPLIANCE READY
FOR USE
You need water, charcoal, dry newspaper and a long match.
6.1 Which charcoal should I use?
Always light your appliance with traditional charcoal, never with
briquettes. Once the appliance is lit, you can add briquettes.
Use good quality charcoal to light the appliance, preferably
complying with EN 1860-2. Good quality charcoal is composed
of large, shiny bricks and does not give off much dust.
Close your bag of charcoal properly before storing it.
2
Always store it in a dry place, do not store it in a cellar.
6.2 Step 1: Filling the QuickStop
container
This information only applies to models Optima, Major and Arena.
Model Basic is not equipped with a QuickStop
The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 1, on
3
page 114.
We recommend filling the QuickStop
before each use. Proceed as follows:
Release the clips at the bottom of the central pipe (Fig. 1a).
1
Lift the upper section of the appliance from the QuickStop
2
container and put it aside (Fig. 1a).
Fill the container for 1/2 with water (Fig. 1b).
3
Put the upper section of the appliance back on the container
4
and close the clips (Fig. 1c).
Check if the appliance is stable.

6.3 Step 2: Putting the paper in place
The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 2, on
3
page 114.
For a proper functioning of the QuickStart
put the paper correctly in the appliance. Proceed as follows:
Take three double sheets of newspaper. Always use dry
1
newspaper, preferably a few days old.
Roll each sheet of paper diagonally, into a torch-like shape.
2
Do not roll the torches too tightly.
Fold over one end of each torch.
3
Remove the bottom grid from the bowl.
4
Put the torches in the pipe, with the folded ends upwards.
5
Do not put the torches too deep. They still have to touch
2
the bottom grid when you put it back in the bowl.
Put the bottom grid back in the bowl.

The main steps of this task are illustrated in Figure 3, on
page 114.
Cover the bottom of the bowl with charcoal (Fig. 3a). Tips:
Do not use too much charcoal. The bowl should only be
•
filled one third.
Use small pieces of charcoal to light the appliance. You
•
can add larger bricks afterwards.
Open the air supply holes at the bottom of the pipe (Fig. 3b).
Take a long match and light the paper through the air supply
holes (Fig. 3b). The burning paper can cause heavy smoke.
When using the appliance for the first time, let it burn for
30 minutes. This removes any remaining manufacturing
greases from the appliance.
Do not put the grill on the appliance yet. An empty grill can
deform when held in the heat for too long.
Warning! Do not use spirit or petrol to light or re-light the
appliance. Only use firelighters that comply with
EN 1860-3.
You can start grilling when the charcoal is covered with a
thin layer of white ashes. Normally, this takes about
15 minutes (Fig. 3c).
USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS
The more you open the holes, the more air is sucked into the
pipe and the more intense the fire will be.
The more you close the holes, the less air is sucked into the
pipe and the less intense the fire will be.
How the air flows through the pipe and fans the fire is
illustrated in Figure 4, on page 115.
Never start grilling when there still are flames in the bowl.
Wait until the charcoal is covered with a thin layer of white
ashes.
Avoid exposing your food to excessive heat. You can:
Protect the food by moving the grill to a higher position.
-
Reduce the heat by (partially) closing the air supply holes
-
at the bottom of the pipe.
Oil the food lightly with a brush before you put it on the grill.
You can also oil the grill itself.
Do not turn the food too quickly. Let it catch some heat first.
