The kamado B10 is a versatile barbecue hand made from raw clay. It is not only suitable for
barbecuing. You can also use it as an oven, stove or smoker. You will find further informa-
tion about the numerous application possibilities and special recipes on our website
www.kamadob10.eu
Your kamado B10 is also suitable for usage on the balcony as it produces only little smoke
and smell during use. Moreover the KB10 is normally used with closed lid which widely
reduces the risks caused by open fire and flying sparks during windy weather conditions.
You can use your kamado B10 in all seasons and in all weathers (when
protecting it from the rain). It is designed for daily use and for
cooking all different types of dishes, and will last for a
lifetime (if treated correctly).
Please read the User Guide thoroughly before use!

Always be careful when handling your kamado B10 at full working temperature, when
cooking with charcoal and igniting charcoal. The kamado B10 reaches a maximum
temperature of about 80 °C on the outer surface of the lid and about 60 °C only on the
body, which reduces the risk of burns. Take special care that children do not come into
contact with hot surfaces.
Be careful when handling hot food and cooking utensils, such as the cooking grate.
Touch these only with respective gloves or a gripper in order to avoid any burns. Place
or lay them only onto non-flammable surfaces.
Never attempt to move the kamado B10 during use. This may lead to damage to the
product and serious burning risk because of the lit charcoal.
Do not overload the kamado B10 with charcoal. When lit, it may cause irreversible
damage to the product (cracks on the surface and inner components). Please refer to
section “3” for more information about this.
1. General Safety Instructions

Make sure that the kamado B10 does not tip over when transporting or positioning it,
in order to avoid injuries and/or damage to the product.
Never lift and carry the KB10 from its handle and/or its hinge in order to avoid damage
to the product. For the kamado B10 Nano, please carry or lift it only from the bottom of
its body and using two persons. The kamado B10 Grande is delivered with a trolley and
can be rolled from one place to the other easily. As the KB10 Grande is heavy, it is
advisable to roll it from the pallet directly onto the trolley before first use. In order to
do this tip it gently a little to the side and roll it onto the trolley.
Only use original parts in the kamado B10. Using non-conforming parts or conducting
unauthorized modifications to your kamado will void the warranty. Additionally this
may lead to user injuries and/or damage of your KB10. Never hesitate to contact us at
[email protected] in case your kamado B10 is damaged in any way.

For the KB10 Nano, search for an even surface and place your KB10 on its base, as shown
in the Unboxing Instructions. In the case of the KB10 Grande, place it onto the trolley.
The 3 feet included should be placed beneath the KB10 to ensure no moisture is accumula-
ted below. Make sure to put them every 120° of the body (as shown in the picture below).
For this, tilt the KB10 just enough to position the first of the 3 feet included. Tilt it again to
the next side and place the second foot. Finally, place the third one following the same
procedure as for the second foot.

Make sure the location where you place the kamado B10 is moisture free to avoid dama-
ging the product over time.
The surface where the kamado B10 is placed should be robust, so that it cannot tip over.
We offer special made and functional wooden design furniture which perfectly fits your
KB10 and protects it against tipping over. Please contact us for more information about our
furniture.
Caution: for indoor KB10 use, it is crucial that the kitchen is equipped with a very strong
exhaust system in order to avoid the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning (as carbon monoxide
is released during the first few minutes after igniting charcoal). Make sure that you are in
compliance with your local fireplace ordinance and other local requirements and regulations
for household and indoor fireplaces. Do not hesitate to contact us to get further advice on this
matter. The kamado B10 should only be used in closed rooms if the construction conditions
enable safe use.

3.1. Amount of charcoal:
For both KB10 size versions place an amount of charcoal so that the holes in the fire box
can still be seen completely (see drawing below).
Make sure not to exceed the following amounts of charcoal:
- For the kamado B10 Nano, use a maximum of 500 g of charcoal per barbecue.
- For the kamado B10 Grande, use a maximum of 1.500 g of charcoal per barbecue.
Carefully place the charcoal into the fire box of the KB10 before use. Avoid hitting the inner
