READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR KETTLE BARBECUE.
• Only use this barbecue on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground etc.) capable of supporting
the weight of the barbecue. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.
• DO NOT use barbecue without charcoal ash pan in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash pan while barbecue
contains hot coals.
• Proper clearance of 3m between the barbecue and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences,
buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when barbecue is in use. Do not place barbecue
under a roof overhang or other enclosed area. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper ventilation and
may increase the risk of a re and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury.
• For outdoor use only. Do not operate barbecue indoors or in an enclosed area.
• For household use only. Do not use this barbecue for other than its intended purpose.
• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting uid.
If you choose to use charcoal lighting uid, only use lighting uid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting uid and charcoal prior to the use of their product.
Store charcoal lighting uid safely away from barbecue.
• When using charcoal lighting uid, allow charcoal to burn with barbecue lid open until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting uid to burn o. Failure to do this could trap fumes from
charcoal lighting uid in barbecue and may result in a ash re or explosion when lid is opened.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter uid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood
mixture.
• Do not use gasoline, kerosene or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an
explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.
• Never add charcoal lighting uid to hot or even warm coals as ashback may occur causing severe burns.
• Place barbecue in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary
when barbecue is in use.
• Do not leave barbecue unattended when in use.
• Do not store or use barbecue near gasoline or other ammable liquids, gases or where ammable vapors may be
present.
• Barbecue is hot when in use. To avoid burns:
• DO NOT attempt to move the barbecue.
• Wear protective gloves or oven mitts when adjusting vents.
• DO NOT touch any hot barbecue surfaces.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with barbecue.

WARNING
• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease re. If this should happen close lid and
vents to suocate the ame. Do not use water to extinguish grease res.
• Use caution since ames can are-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with re. When opening the lid, keep
hands, face and body a safe distance from hot steam and ame are-ups.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your barbecue to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.
Use caution when reaching into or under barbecue.
• In windy weather, place barbecue in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
• Never leave coals and ashes in barbecue unattended. Before barbecue can be left unattended, remaining coals and
ashes must be removed from barbecue. Use caution to protect yourself and property. Carefully place remaining coals
and ashes in a non-combustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain
in metal container 24 hours prior to disposing.
• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around barbecue to extinguish any coals or ashes which
may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
• After each use, clean the barbecue thoroughly. Cover the barbecue to protect it from excessive rusting.
• Use caution when lifting or moving barbecue to prevent strains and back injuries.
• We advise that a re extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of re
extinguisher.
