Place for the MONOLITH
Always choose a hard and level surface. Take the weight
of the MONOILTH into consideration. Do not place the
MONOLITH directly on or in vicinity of combustible mate-
rials. Remember sparks and the hot exhaust air are also
potential fire hazards, therefore do not place under a low
patio-roof or canopy. Do not use the MONOLITH indoors.
Always place it outdoors with adequate air circulation.
Opening and closing the lid
The ceramic lid is held in an open position by means of
tension springs. Do not underestimate the heavy weight
of the lid. Never let the lid drop when closing, make sure
that no body parts or grill tools are between the unit base
and lid. By simply releasing the handle, both the lid and/
or base can be damaged through the weight and force
of the lid. Replace damaged springs immediately.
Moving the MONOLITH
Do not attempt to move the MONOLITH unless it is
cool and does not contain any hot charcoal. When
moving, place both hands on the cart and pull the
grill behind you. Do not push it! The cart is not
designed to roll over uneven surfaces such as lawn,
sand or gravel. For uneven terrain we recommend out
MONOLITH Buggy.
Children and Pets
When using the MONOLITH, do not leave children and
pets unattended close to the grill.
Indoor use
Due to smoke emissions we recommend not using the
MONOLITH indoors. Always place it outdoors with ade-
quate air circulation.
Local ordinance & regulations
Observe the local ordinance and regulations before using
the grill.
Cast iron ventilation cap
Please restrain from looking inside the cast iron ventila-
tion cap. Sparks and the hot exhaust air can cause
injury.
Placing / removing Components
The grill and its metal components can get very hot,
please wear gloves or use tongs when placing the metal
grids, pizza stone or deflector stone in the grill or when
removing them. Do not place hot components on inflam-
mable or sensitive surfaces. Please exercise caution
when handling the hot components in order to avoid
injuries. Do not try to remove the firebox or charcoal
basket when filled with hot coals.
Lifting the grid
Use the grid lifter when raising the hot grid. Please where
wear gloves to avoid burn injuries.
Risk of Burn Injuries
Due to the very good insulation of the heavy ceramics,
there is minimal risk of burn injuries when touching the
outside walls of the MONOLITH. We still recommend
using precaution and keeping children and pets away
from the grill whilst in use.
Fire Danger
Do not leave the grill unattended. Sparks and the hot
exhaust air can cause inflammable objects in the vicinity
to ignite.
Backdrafts
Once lit, the MONOLITH lid should always be opened
slowly and with extra caution to prevent dangerous flare
ups or backdrafts. By only opening the lid about 4-5 cm,
oxygen can slowly fill the MONOLITH, this helps avoid a
backdraft. Should you have a backdraft, immediately
close the lid and both air vents. It is always advisable to
wear heat resistant gloves, and not to stand directly in
front of the grill.
Lighters
Never use any fluid or chemical accelerants, never use
petrol or spirit! Chemical or liquid accelerants, can be
absorbed by the ceramic unit and may adversely affect
the flavour and quality of the food.
Extinguishing the charcoal
By closing both of the air vents, the embers will extin-
guish, this will take approximately 10 – 20 minutes.
Never use water to extinguish the charcoal.
