11 ASSEMBLING THE MONOLITH INCL. CART
A. Assemble the cart by placing the stainless steel caps
on the top of the legs then screw the legs to the frame.
To prevent scratches on the metal components, place a
cloth or a piece of paper between frame and legs before
turning. Turn each leg until the holes of the frame are
aligned with the holes in the legs. For more user conven-
ience attach the legs with the lockable castors next to
each other.
B. Secure each leg with two screws (MONOLITH JUNIOR)
or with four screws (MONOLITH CLASSIC / Le CHEF), then
fasten all screws tightly.
C. Make sure the castors are locked before placing the
ceramic unit in the cart.
CAUTION: Place the cart on a flat and stable surface.
Keep in mind the heavy weight of the grill. Note that the
grill can reach very high temperatures and should not be
placed in the immediate vicinity of combustible materi-
als. The grill must not be operated in closed rooms.
D. Lower the ceramic unit into the cart, making sure the
opening (ash compartment) is between the legs with the
lockable castors. We suggest carrying the Monolith by
the brackets for the side tables.
CAUTION: Due to the risk of breakage please exercise
caution when handling the ceramic components. Avoid
carrying the grill by the hinges or the bamboo handle,
this can lead to damaging the grill! Due to the weight we
recommend the unit be carried by two people. Be sure
to wear gloves to prevent injuries.
E. LE CHEF ONLY: Loosen the two capped nuts on the
front of the metal bands, attach the handle to the bolt.
Screw the capped nuts back on the studs and tighten
with a wrench.
F. Place the cast iron cap on the top opening of the
ceramic unit.
G. Put the fire box inside the MONOLITH; placing the cut
away section towards the opening of the ash compart-
ment. Cleaning your MONOLITH is easy when the fire box
and the ash compartment door opening are aligned
correctly.
H. Place the fire ring on top of the fire box, making sure
the opening for the wood chips is directly behind the
corresponding opening in the ceramic unit.
I. Place the protector stone on the base of the unit. The
protector stone prevents the base of the grill from over-
heating.
J. First place the Cast Iron Fire Grate inside the Firebox
and then the Charcoal Basket inside the Firebox, making
sure that the opening for the Smoke Chip Feeder System
is aligned with the opening in the Firering.
K. Hook the side shelves in the corresponding mounts
on the ceramic unit. Possibly having to adjust the dis-
tance by slightly bending the metal fittings.
IMPORTANT: Before first use check that all the screws
are safely and correctly tightened. The screws on the
metal bands around the unit should be tightened regu-
larly.
