IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS
h.,,.
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
£ll BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR KETTLE BARBECUE.
A WARNING
• 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 pan in place. DO NOT attempt to remove charcoal ash pan while barbecue
contains hot coals.
• 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
overhang or other enclosed area. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper ventilation and may increase the risk
of a fire 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 fluid. If you
choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read manufacturer's
warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal
lighting fluid safely away from barbecue.
When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow charcoal to burn with barbecue lid open until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from
charcoal lighting fluid in barbecue and may result in a flash fire or explosion when lid is opened.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/wood
mixture.
• 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 fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
• Place barbecue in an area where children and pets cannot come into 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 flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.
• Barbecue is hot when in use. To avoid burns:
• DO NOT attempt to move the barbecue.

A WARNING
• When grilling, grease from meat may drip into the charcoal and cause a grease fire. If this should happen close lid and vents
to suffocate the flame. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.
• Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire. When opening the lid, keep hands,
face and body a safe distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups.
• Use caution when assembling and operating your barbecue to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts. Use
caution when reaching into or under barbecue.
In windy weather, place barbecue in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.
• Never leave coals and ashes in barbecue unattended. Before barbecue can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes
must be removed from barbecue. Use caution to protect yourself and property, Carefully place remaining coals and ashes in
a non-combustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in metal container
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 the surface beneath and around barbecue to extinguish any coals or ashes which may
have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.
• After each use, clean the barbecue thoroughly. Cover the barbecue to protect it from excessive rusting.
• Use caution when lifting or moving barbecue to prevent strains and back injuries.
• We advise that a fire extinguisher be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper size and type of fire
extinguisher.

boxes or aluminium foil pouches. Follow the wood
manufacturer's instructions.

brush designed for your rack material. Wear protective
