Important safety instructions

Lighting your charcoal barbecue
Ensure the hood and all air vents are open. The hood should remain
open for the entire lighting process (approx. 30mins).
Remove any ash left from the previous barbecue (this can only be
done once the coals are fully extinguished and cold).
When lighting coal directly on the grate, pile the required quantity
of briquettes into a pyramid on top of 3 or 4 relighters. Ignite the
relighters and leave the hood open. The coals should be ready to
cook over in 30-40 minutes, when all briquettes have a covering of
‘grey’ ash. Arrange the lit coals with long handled tongs. You may
now close the hood of the BBQ.
When using a restarter chimney, put the required amount of
briquettes into the top of the chimney above the internal grate.
Stand the Firestarter on the barbecue grate over scrunched up
newspaper or 1-2 relighters, then ignite, leaving the hood open.
The briquettes will be ready for cooking in 20-25 minutes. Pour the
hot coals out of the Firestarter onto the grate. Always use BBQ
Mitts when handling the Firestarter.
Aim for an even layer of coals, 3-4cm deep (or a maximum load of
1.5kg of charcoal) in the required area under the grill. Always put
the charcoal on the grate and never directly into the bottom of the
barbecue bowl. Failure to do so may cause damage to the barbecue
which is not covered by the warranty.
Charcoal must only be placed on the grate and NEVER on the grill
bottom. Failure to do this will damage the grill bottom and will not
be covered by the warranty.
Care and maintenance
- Always empty the fuel tray after every use. Do not remove the
ash until it is completely extinguished and cold.
- Using abrasive cleaners on the barbecue or grills will damage the
nish and void the warranty.
- Using sharp objects to clean the bowl and hood will damage the
nish and void the warranty.
- Allow the complete barbecue to cool before cleaning and washing
in a warm soapy solution. Ensure that any dried fat and food
deposits are cleaned off the grills after EVERY cooking session.
Wash the grills with hot, soapy water then rinse and dry before
returning the grills to the barbecue.
Guarantees
- This barbecue is not designed for commercial use and doing so
will void its warranty.
DAMAGE CAUSED BY FAT FIRES IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY
- Only use the recommended amount of Charcoal Briquettes, not
Lumpwood, with the barbecue. Failure to do this may cause damage
to the barbecue that it not covered by warranty.
- Always leave the lid off for the entire lighting process. Failure to do
this may cause damage to the barbecue that is not covered by
warranty.
