IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Read the safety precautions of this booklet carefully before removing
the barbeque from its carton or connecting the barbeque to the power supply.
1. This electric ignition charcoal barbeque set is intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Do
not use indoors. Use the electric ignition barbeque in a well-ventilated area.
2. For your safety and enjoyment, read all operating instructions before using this
appliance. Do not use the barbecue unless it’s completely assembled and all parts are
securely fastened and tightened.
3. In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a health hazard. Unplug the
appliance before cleaning or carrying out maintenance. When the appliance is not in use,
unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and retract the power cord fully.
4. This appliance 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 use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not
play with the appliance.
5. Ensure that all electrical connections are secure, dry and protected from moisture
before operating this appliance. Do not disconnect the appliance with wet hands and do
not disconnect the power cord with extreme force.
6. Always fully extend the retractable power cord when in use (leaving the power cord
fully or partially retracted can cause the cord to overheat & become damaged). Take
care not to exert undue force on the cord and its assembly when adjusting the length.
If use of an extension power lead cannot be avoided, always use good quality (low
resistance) leads that are suitable for the environment where cooking is taking place,
and use the shortest length possible to reduce any power lost to the appliance.
7. Do not use this appliance with a programmer, timer or any other device that switches
the appliance on automatically, since a re risk exists if the appliance is covered or
positioned incorrectly.
8. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised
service centre or similarly qualied persons to avoid a hazard.
9. Do not immerse the barbeque in water (only removable grills, charcoal grids and
rotisserie parts can be immersed).
10. As charcoal can smoulder for an extended period of time, take care when removing ash
after cooking. It is recommended that a non-combustible container (metal or ceramic)
be used to contain any ash before being doused in water and disposed of correctly.
11. This barbeque has been designed to be used with the four legs connected (do not
remove and build in). When using on the ground, ensure the surface is level, and strong
enough to support the barbeque and will withstand temperatures of 176°F (80°C)
above ambient temperature. The barbeque has to be installed on a secure level base
prior to use.
12.People with ammable clothing such as nylon etc. should keep well away from the
barbeque when it is operating.
13. Do not use this appliance for any purpose other than what it is intended for.
14.I In the event of a oil or grease re do not attempt to extinguish with water. Immediately
call the re department. A Type BC or ABC re extinguisher may, in some circumstances
contain the re. Regular cleaning after use should reduce the build-up of fat and food
residues which are combustible and can result in a fat re. Fat res can be prevented
with diligence in cleaning fats and oil from the heat shield and bowl around the
electrical element and the inner chassis. Do not allow ash to build up inside the
chassis – clean up after every use. For more information on controlling fat res see the
Quick User Guide.
15. Ensure that the product has adequate clearance from combustible materials. Do not use
within 1ft (250 mm) of any ammable structure or under any combustible surface.
16. Keep your barbeque protected against strong wind where possible (the lid can be used
as a rear wind shield by hanging it from the bracket at the rear of the appliance). As
charcoal cooking can vary in time and intensity, it is recommended that the barbeque
not be left for more than 5 minutes at a time while cooking.
17. We recommend that you regularly maintain your barbeque and keep it in good condition.
This can be achieved by following the cleaning and maintenance suggestions in this
booklet. Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
18. This appliance is not suitable for mounting in a movable vehicle (boat, trailer etc).
19. Do not use or store this appliance in areas of high salt content (a marine environment)
or an area with caustic fumes or liquids (such as a domestic pool), as these chemicals
can cause the appliance materials to deteriorate (and void the warranty). Regular
cleaning and covering with an Everdure by Heston Blumenthal HUBTM barbeque cover
can help to reduce this.
20. Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used. Whilst the grill handles are cool
to touch, please be aware that the grill surface will be hot - handle with care. Do not
touch metal parts of barbeque until it has completely cooled to avoid burns, unless you
are wearing protective gloves.
