Prepare the appliance
You can use the electric barbecue with or without the lava rocks.
Without the lava rocks: food will stay more moist, from the rising steam.
With the lava rocks: the food will have a more pronounced grilled aroma and flavor.
Check that the drain valve is closed.
Remove the grate, raise the heating element, and remove the lava rock container (if desired).
Fill the water trough:
–if grilling without lava rocks with water up to mark , with approx.
2 quarts (1.8 liters) of water (CS1312)
4 quarts (4.0 liters) of water (CS1322)
–if grilling with lava rocks with approx 1 quart (1.2 liters) of water (CS1312) 2 quarts (1.8 liters) of water (CS1322
Return the filled lava rock container to the water trough (if desired).
The heating element can now be turned down.
Replace the grates.
Turning On/Off
The electric barbecue is divided into two heating areas, which can be used and adjusted separately. For large quantities, you can use the entire surface for cooking. For smaller quantities, you can, for example, cook in the front and keep food warm at the back, using a lower setting.
To turn a heating area on, press the appropriate control knob down and turn it clockwise to the desired setting.
To turn a heating area off, turn the control knob counterclockwise to "0".
When the appliance is turned on, the On/Off indicator comes on. It goes out when it is turned off.
Do not turn a heating area on without pressing the control knob down, and do not turn the knob past "12" to reach "0".
