Before Grilling - tepro BERKELEY Bedienungsanleitung

Before grilling

• Prior to first use, the BBQ must be oiled
and then heated through for at least 3
hours to protect the housing from heavy
rust and to burn off production residues.
• Wash down the BBQ grate with warm,
soapy water. Then rinse it with clean
water and dry it off.
• Rub the external surfaces of the BBQ
with vegetable oil or use a vegetable oil
for spraying. Treat the charcoal grate
and the ash tray with vegetable oil.
• Follow the instructions for lighting the
BBQ.
• Start with approx. 2.3kg of charcoal.
This quantity should be sufficient for the
primary heating treatment.
• Pour sufficient lighter fluid over the
charcoal, in accordance with the
manufacturer specifications. Wait for
approx. 2-3 minutes with the cover
open, until the fluid has worked its way
into the coals. Alternatively, you can
use solid, commercial firelighters.
• Open the air vent of the BBQ chamber
approx. 1.5-2.5 cm.
• Light the charcoal with a long match. Let
the charcoal burn with the cover open
for as long as necessary until a bright
layer has formed (approx. 20 minutes).
Caution! The lighter fluid must be
completely burned off before the cover
can be closed. Otherwise flames from
the lighter fluid can trigger flashes or an
explosion inside the BBQ as soon as
the cover is opened.
• When the charcoal is glowing strongly,
distribute it in the middle of the charcoal.

achieved by opening the air vent further
and adding more charcoal.
• Maintain this temperature for approx.
1 hour. Then let the BBQ cool down
completely.
• Important: From time to time this
treatment should be repeated in order
to maintain the condition of the BBQ.

in order to make the inside ready for
barbecuing and to burn in the heat-
resistant paint on the outside.
During the pre-firing, the cover should
not be completely closed. Only close it
completely for a few minutes at the end.
Danger Risk of burning!
The BBQ, the charcoal and
BBQ meat become very hot
during use. Any contact can
result in serious burns.
– Keep sufficient distance from the hot
parts, since any contact can lead to
severe burns. Always wear oven or
BBQ gloves when grilling.
– Use only long-handled utensils with
heat-resistant grips.
– Do not wear any clothing with wide
sleeves.
– Use only dry lighters or special fluid
lighters compliant with EN 1860-3 as
firelighters.
