Important safety
information
Read the Instruction Manual thoroughly before
assembling or using the BBQ.
CAUTION: FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
• Estimated assembly time is 30-45 minutes.
• Only use this BBQ on a hard, level, non-
combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground,
etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the
BBQ. Never use on wooden or other surfaces
that could burn.
• Place the BBQ in an area where children and
pets cannot come into contact with it. Close
supervision is necessary when the BBQ is in use.
• Do not use this grill for anything other than its
intended purpose.
• In windy weather, place the BBQ in an outdoor
area that is protected from the wind.
• Use caution when opening the lid. Keep hands,
face and body a safe distance away. Flash flare
ups may occur when air comes into contact with
fire or hot coals.
• Close the lid and bottom damper to suffocate
and extinguish the flame.
• Use caution during assembly and while
operating your BBQ to avoid scrapes or cuts
from sharp edges of metal parts. Use caution
when reaching into or under the BBQ.
• When adding charcoal and/or wood chips, use
extreme caution and follow instructions in the
“Adding Fuel During Cooking” section of this
manual.
• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into
the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this
should happen, close the lid to suffocate the
flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease
fires.
• Use caution and common sense when operating
your grill.
• Never leave hot coals and ashes in the BBQ
unattended.
• Use caution when lifting or moving the BBQ to
prevent strains and back injuries. Wait for the
BBQ to cool down prior to moving.

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Do’s & Don’ts
DO’S
• We recommend the use of a charcoal chimney
starter to avoid the dangers associated with
charcoal lighter fluid. If you choose to use
charcoal lighter fluid, only use one approved
for lighting charcoal. Carefully read the
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the
charcoal lighter fluid and charcoal prior to using
them. Store charcoal lighter fluid safely away
from the BBQ.
• When using charcoal lighter fluid, allow the
charcoal to burn with the BBQ lid and vents open
until covered with a light ash (approximately 20
minutes). This will allow the charcoal lighter fluid
to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes
from charcoal lighter fluid in the BBQ and may
result in a flash fire or explosion when the lid is
opened.
DON’TS
• Do not use petrol, 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 lighter fluid to hot or even
warm coals, as flashback may occur causing
severe burns.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated
with lighter fluid. Use only high grade charcoal
briquettes or charcoal lump wood.
• Do not leave the BBQ unattended when in use.
• Do not store or use the BBQ near flammable
liquids, gases or where flammable vapours may
be present.
• Do not store BBQ in Storage Bag when it is still
warm/hot from use.
• Do NOT attempt to remove legs of the BBQ
when it is still warm/hot.
• BBQ will become hot when in use. To avoid
burns and injury:
• DO NOT attempt to move the BBQ.
• Wear protective BBQ gloves.
• DO NOT touch any hot BBQ surfaces.
• Keep children away from hot surfaces.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair
to come in contact with the grill.

Positioning the BBQ
• This BBQ should only be used in an above
ground, open air situation with natural
ventilation.
• When the BBQ is in use, maintain a clearance
of at least 1m between the hot BBQ and any
combustible materials such as bushes, trees,
wooden fences, buildings, etc.
• Any enclosure in which the BBQ is used shall
comply with one of the following:
• An enclosure with walls on one side, but at least
one permanent opening at ground level and no
overhead cover.
• Within a partial enclosure that includes an
overhead cover and no more than two walls.

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Before you cook
Curing Your Grill
NOTE: It is important that the exterior of the BBQ
is not scraped or rubbed during the curing process.
Before first use, follow the instructions below
carefully to cure your BBQ. This process will
minimise damage to all finishes and remove any
paint odour that may impart unnatural flavours
during the first cook.
IMPORTANT: To protect your BBQ from excessive
rust, the unit must be properly cured and covered
at all times when not in use. It’s recommended that
you also cure the BBQ periodically.
Step 1
Lightly coat all interior surfaces of the BBQ with
vegetable oil or vegetable oil spray. Do not coat
charcoal or cooking grates.
Step 2
Follow the instructions below carefully to build a fire.
If using a charcoal chimney starter, follow all
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions regarding
the use of their product.
Instructions for reference only:
Step 1 - Remove the cooking grate from the BBQ.
Step 2 - Ensure all vents are open.
Step 3 - Roll a few sheets of paper and locate them
firmly into the underside of a charcoal chimney
starter.
Step 4 - Place the chimney starter on top of the
charcoal grate inside the BBQ.
Step 5 - Fill the chimney starter with charcoal to
about half way.
Step 6 - Light the paper in multiple places around the
perimeter of the chimney starter (via the air holes).
Step 7 - After the outer surface of the charcoal has
formed a light grey ash covering and is ready to
use, carefully pour the charcoal onto your charcoal
grate, handling the chimney starter by the handle
only. Always wear heat resistant BBQ gloves when
handling the chimney starter. Use charcoal tongs to
spread the charcoal as required.
Step 8 - Replace the lid onto the BBQ and let it
heat up for 30 minutes. This time will allow for the
heat to burn off any remaining fumes from the
manufacturing process and cure the BBQ.
Step 9 - Clean and prepare your BBQ for your first
cook!
NOTE: To extend the life of your BBQ, make sure
that hot coals and wood do not touch the walls of
BBQ.

Using the BBQ
Cooking Methods
There are several techniques of cooking that can
be applied with your Matador Radiant Go BBQ.
See below to choose the one that best suits your
needs. For additional information and tips, we also
recommend reading the instructions that come with
your preferred charcoal fuel.
Direct – Heat
This method of cooking uses a single layer of evenly
placed coals across your charcoal grate. This is a hot
and fast way to cook and best suited for thin cuts of
meat and other food that cooks quickly.
Indirect – Heat
When cooking larger cuts of meat or when a lower
temperature is required, the indirect method of
cooking is ideal. To achieve this, the charcoal is
pushed all the way to one side of the charcoal grate
leaving the other side empty.
This allows for a dual heat zone to be created within
your BBQ. This zoning of the BBQ creates one side
with a higher temperature for grilling and searing.
Whilst on the opposite side, away from the charcoal,
allows cooking at a lower temperature which is
perfect for roasting.
TIP: If space allows, place a small aluminum tray
directly under your meat to capture those succulent
juices that make your gravy so delicious and keep
your BBQ clean.
Regulating temperature
To regulate the temperature of your BBQ, there are
two main things that can be adjusted. These are;
1. The amount of airflow to your fuel.
2. How much physical fuel is placed into the BBQ.
Top Lid Vent
The top vent allows air to vent from the BBQ and
should be fully opened while trying to increase
the temperature. Once the desired temperature is
reached, the vent can then be partially closed to help
maintain a constant cooking temperature. Closing
this vent fully will help to suffocate and extinguish
the fuel.
Bottom Air Vent
You can increase and decrease the temperature
of your BBQ by adjusting the bottom air vent. Air
coming in through the bottom of the BBQ increases
the amount of oxygen accessible to the fuel source
and therefore regulates combustion. The more air
you allow into the BBQ the hotter it will become. So
remember to have it only partially open if cooking at
a lower temperature.
Charcoal Fuel
If you are doing a long cook or wish to reach a
higher temperature you may want to add more
charcoal to your BBQ. Increasing the amount of
charcoal will help to maintain your temperature for
longer or increase it if required. Please refer to the
“Adding Fuel During Cooking” section for further
details.

MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Adding fuel during
cooking
Additional charcoal may be required to maintain or
increase cooking temperature.
Step 1 - Stand back and carefully lift off the BBQ lid.
Use caution since flames can flare-up when natural
air suddenly comes in contact with fire.
Step 2 - To access the charcoal grate you will firstly
need to remove your food from your cooking grate.
Step 3 - Wearing heat resistant BBQ gloves, lift up
the cooking grate to access the charcoal. DO NOT
touch the grate by hand. Put the cooking grate onto
a non-combustible surface whilst re-fueling.
Step 4 - Stand back at a safe distance and use
long charcoal tongs to lightly brush aside ashes
on hot coals. Use charcoal tongs to add charcoal
to charcoal grate being careful not to stir-up ashes
and sparks. If necessary, use your charcoal chimney
starter to light additional charcoal and add to
existing fire.
WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot
or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing
severe burns.
Step 5 - Once the charcoal has been added, carefully
replace the cooking grate wearing BBQ gloves.
Check the surrounding area for any hot coals, ash,
or embers which may have fallen from the BBQ. Be
sure to safely extinguish these before continuing to
cook.
After-use safety
WARNING:
• Always allow BBQ and all components to cool
completely before handling.
• Never leave hot coals and ashes in BBQ
unattended. Make sure coals and ashes are
completely extinguished before removing.
• Before the BBQ can be stored away, remaining
coals and ashes must be removed from BBQ.
Use caution to protect yourself and property.
Place remaining coals and ashes in a non-
combustible metal container and completely
saturate with water. Allow coals and water to
remain in metal container for 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 surface
beneath and around the grill to extinguish any
ashes, coals or embers which may have fallen
during the cooking or cleaning process.
• Return your BBQ to its storage bag and place it
in a protected area away from children.
Proper care &
maintenance
• Cure your BBQ periodically throughout the year
to protect against excessive rust.
• To protect your BBQ from excessive rust, the
unit must be properly cured and covered at all
times when not in use.
• Wash cooking grate and charcoal grate with hot
soapy water, rinse well and dry.
• Clean inside and outside of BBQ by wiping
off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of
vegetable oil or spray to the interior surface to
prevent rusting. Do not coat charcoal grate.
• If rust appears on the exterior surface of your
grill, clean and buff the affected area with steel
wool or fine grit emery cloth. Touch-up with a
good quality high-temperature resistant paint to
maintain the appearance.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust
spots on the interior surface can be buffed,
cleaned, and then lightly coated with vegetable
oil or vegetable oil spray to minimise rusting.
