IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING
YOUR BARBECUE.
Before attempting to operate this barbecue, the
following basic safety precautions should be taken
to reduce the risk of re, electric shock and personal
injury. It is important to read the instruction manual
and to understand its’ applications, limitations and
potential hazards associated with this barbecue. This
barbecue is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning the use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
It is important that you read, understand and follow
these instructions very carefully. They are designed for
the safety of yourself and others ensuring a long and
trouble free service life from your barbecue.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualied persons
using original spare parts. Failure to do so may result in
considerable danger to the operator.
Children should not be allowed to touch or operate
barbecue or touch extension cords, if used. Barbecue
should be kept out of reach of children, preferably
stored or locked in a secure cabinet or room when not
in use.
Never yank or pull on the power cord to disconnect
it from the mains supply socket. Never carry your
barbecue by its’ power cord. Keep the power cord
away from heat, oil, solvents and sharp edges. Check
the power cord regularly for any damage. If the mains
connection plug or power cord becomes damaged it
must be replaced with a complete assembly that is
identical to the original, and this must be replaced by
the manufacturer or an authorised service centre or
similar qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• 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 tray in
place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash tray
while barbecue contains hot coals.
WARNING
• 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 over hang 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 for approximately 20 minutes. This will allow
charcoal lighting uid to burn o. Failure to do this
could trap fumes from charcoal lighting uid in the
barbecue and may result in a ash re or explosion.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre treated with
lighter uid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or
charcoal/wood mixture.
• Only use high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood
mixture.
• Do not use self starting charcoal.
• 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 ash back may occur causing severe
burns.
• Place barbecue in an area where children and
pets cannot come in to 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
vapours may be present.
• Barbecue is hot when in use.

CLEANING SURFACES
1. Wipe surfaces clean with mild dish washing detergent or

CARE & MAINTENANCE
• Wash cooking racks, water bowl and rebowl with hot
soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat cooking

• Clean inside and outside of barbecue by wiping o with a
damp cloth. After cleaning, apply a light coat of vegetable
oil or vegetable cooking spray to the interior surface of
the lid, smoker body, cooking racks and water bowl. This
simple process will help reduce interior rusting.
Note: Smoke will accumulate and leave a residue in the lid
of your unit that may drip onto food during cooking. To
minimise accumulation of residue, wipe o lid after each
use.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your barbecue,
clean and bu the aected area with steel wool or ne
grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a good high-temperature
resistant paint.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on
the interior surface can be bued, cleaned, then lightly
coated with vegetable oil or vegetable cooking spray to
minimise rusting.
• Always keep your barbecue covered when not in use to
protect against rusting.

emergency, do NOT pour water on hot coals.
TIPS FOR BETTER COOKING
& LONGER BARBECUE LIFE
1. To reduce are-up keep barbecue clean, use lean cuts
of meat (or trim fat) and avoid cooking on very high
temperatures.
2. Place delicate foods like sh and vegetables in aluminium
foil pouches.
3. To avoid losing natural juices, use long handled tongs or
spatulas instead of forks and turn foods over just once during
cooking.
4. Clean cooking rack after every use with a quality grill
brush designed for your rack material. Wear protective
gloves and gently remove the build-up while rack is hot.
5. After every use, allow barbecue to cool. Then clean
cooking rack with a light coat of cooking oil, clean out
all ashes, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen
cleaner and protect surfaces with a quality cover that
properly ts your barbecue.
CLEANING & CARE COOKING
9

Rotisserie cooking produces foods that are moist, avourful
and attractive, as the turning food self bastes. Although the
rotisserie is best for larger pieces of meat or poultry, nearly
anything can be used if prepared properly.
Balancing the Food
The item that requires the most attention in rotisserie cooking
is balancing the food. The rotisserie must turn evenly otherwise
the stopping and starting action will cause the food to cook
unevenly and possibly burn the heavier side.
The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform shape
and texture. To test if the food is balanced correctly when
secured, place the ends of the rotisserie skewer loosely in
the palms of your hands. If there is no tendency to roll,
give the spit a quarter turn. If it’s still stable give it a nal
quarter turn. It should rest without turning in each of these
positions. It can then be attached to the barbecue.
Poultry
When using poultry, truss the birds tightly so that wings
and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird. The cavity
of the bird may be stued prior to this if you wish. Pull the
neck skin down and using a small skewer x to the back of
the bird. Push the rotisserie skewer through lengthwise,
catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Centre the
bird and tighten with the holding prongs. Test the balance as
described above.
Rolled Meat
A rolled piece of meat only requires the rotisserie skewer to
be inserted through the centre of the length of meat then
secured and balanced.
Unboned Meat
For meats which are unboned it is best to secure the
rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections.
When to Use Foil
If protruding bones or wings brown too quickly cover with
pieces of foil.
Cooking Times
This will vary according to the type and weight of food you
are cooking. Insert a meat thermometer into the centre of
the meat (avoiding bone) which will provide a temperature
guide for you.
The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately the
same as for oven cooking.
