USE
• The barbecue is a Kamado barbecue for outdoor use.
• Use only charcoal or briquettes in this barbecue. DO NOT use petrol, white spirit, ligh-
ter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
• The barbecue is only intended for private use.
LIGHTING THE BARBECUE
• Ensure that the barbecue is positioned on a permanent and flat level. The barbecue
must be standing on a non-flammable surface away from flammable items. Minimum
of 2 meters clearance above and around the barbecue.
• Before lighting the barbecue lock both wheels to stop the unit from moving during use.
• To lit the barbecue place 2-3 solid lighter cubes on the charcoal plate in the base of
the barbecue together with some rolled up newspaper. Then place 2 or 3 handfuls of
charcoal/briquettes over the top of the news paper. Open the bottom vent and light the
lighter cubes using a long nosed lighter or safety matches.
You can also light using a barbecue starter / chimney starter: Place 2–3 lighter cubes
on the charcoal plate in the base of the barbecue. Fill the barbecue starter with the re-
quired number of charcoal/briquettes and place on top of the lighter cubes. Open the
bottom vent and light the lighter cubes using a long nosed lighter or safety matches
and wait until the briquettes have an even glow. Pour the charcoal/briquettes onto the
charcoal plate. Allow the barbecue starter to cool on a non-flammable surface.
NOTE! DO NOT use petrol, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals
for lighting or relighting.
• Once the lighter cubes has caught fire, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about 10
minutes to build a small bed of hot embers. Wait until the charcoal/briquettes have an
even glow then close the lid and keep the lid vent and bottom vent open.
NOTE! It is recommended you don't stoke or turn the coals once they are alight. This
allows the charcoal to burn more efficiently.
• See below for cooking instructions depending on temperature and duration.
NOTE! Once the barbecue is lit ONLY use heat resistant gloves when handling hot
ceramics or cooking surfaces.
