Using the barbecue
Before grilling
The grill can be used with or without lava rocks. When cooking without lava rocks, rising steam will keep the food moist. When using lava rocks, cooking results will be similar to barbecuing. Preparing the grill: ^ Remove the grate, raise the heating element, and remove the lava rock container. ^ Fill the trough with water: � up to line a, (about 2 quarts [2.5 l ]) when grilling without lava rocks, or � up to line b, (about 1 quart [1.2 l ]) when grilling with lava rocks. ^ Reseat the lava rock container, if so desired. ^ Lower the heating element and replace the grate. ^ The grill can now be turned on. While grilling, watch the level of water in the trough. If necessary, add more water. Do not use aluminium dishes, pans, pots or foil on the grill. Never cover the grill grate with aluminium foil. Aluminium will cause overheating and may damage the grill grate.
