This Appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection.
This appliance must not be used indoors. Do not use your barbeque in garages, porches, sheds or other enclosed areas. The barbeque is not intended to be installed in or used on recreational vehicles (e.g. boats, camping vans) and should not be placed close to or under any surfaces that will burn or are sensitive to heat. Do not block/ obstruct the fl ow of air and combustion around the barbeque housing while in use.
Any enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following:
In the case of balconies, at least 20% of the total of the side, back and front wall areas shall be and remain open and unrestricted.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and efficient cooking. Try to keep the barbeque sheltered from strong winds as this will drastically alter cooking efficiency. If this is unavoidable, position the length of the barbeque to be parallel in the direction of the wind. Keep the barbeque level. Check frequently that the charcoal stays ignited (this does not necessarily mean a flame is visible), and that flare ups are not occurring. Make sure the minimum distances of the barbeque to any wall or combustible surface are met, and that when not using the pedestal, the supporting surface can withstand the heat. When using the pedestal, take care that the ground is level and no combustible material is close by.
This barbeque will become very hot, do not move it during operation. For more specific information (including set-up illustrations and diagrams) and up to date cooking instructions, please visit the Everdure by Heston Blumenthal website at www.everdurebyheston.com.
FUEL TYPE AND CONSUMPTION
This barbeque is designed to cook with lump charcoal and charcoal briquettes. The heat produced and consumption time may vary dramatically depending on the type of fuel used, and the prevailing weather conditions. Please see the Quick User Guide for more information on charcoal ignition and cooking. Do not use accelerants for fuel ignition or fuels impregnated with accelerants in this appliance as they may cause damage to the appliance or injury.
When igniting the charcoal, pile the charcoal up over the charcoal grid (this is the circular grid above the element in the centre of the charcoal chamber) so that it overflows the grid by no more than 20mm. When in use, the height of the charcoal should never pass the top level of the charcoal chamber and the amount being used at any one time should not exceed 1.2kg.
After cooking, the remaining charcoal should be allowed to burn off naturally (this should be taken into account when planning the cooking times). Once finished, the ash and remaining fuel should be removed and placed into a non-flammable container (a metal bucket is ideal), a small amount of water added (just in case there is still any heat left in the waste) and disposed of safely as per local council rules. Note that protection from heat should always be used.
CHROME OPEN GRILL
The cooking surface for this barbeque is a chromed open grill, which can be fully removed or levered up from either side to add additional charcoal. The grill should be positioned so that the hinges are facing down (they will allocate in two notches at the front and rear of the charcoal chamber). Take care that food cooked is wider than the gaps in the grill or positioned lengthways so it doesn't fall through. Over time, the surface of the grill will discolour with the heat of the fuel (this is a normal process and not a fault). It is recommended that the grill is placed on the barbeque after the charcoal has ignited and any adjustment on the fuel distribution has been done. If needed please remove the grills for greater clearance. After use, allow the grill to cool and then clean. After cleaning, coat with a little cooking oil to minimise any rusting.
ROTISCOPE TECHNOLOGY™
Rotiscope TechnologyTM is the patent pending built-in rotisserie system of the barbeque. The maximum rated capacity of the motor is 15kg, Please check the dimensions of the meat are suitable for the product before purchasing.
The rotisserie rod and Cliplock ForksTM are stored in the compartment at the front of the left hand side panel. Lift the storage door up, remove the Cliplock ForksTM (take care of the sharp points of the fork fingers) and pull the rod out from the storage bracket (this is enclosed so the rod will not interfere with the electrical wiring). Note: If the barbeque has been in operation, the rotisserie parts may be hot – remove before cooking or use heat proof gloves. The handle of the rotisserie rod must first be extended by rotating the handle anti-clockwise until the thread releases, extending the handle fully and tightening in place by rotating anti-clockwise again. To fit food onto the rotisserie, first slide a Cliplock ForkTM (base first) onto the rod, and lock off by pressing down the small fork lever. Push the food onto the rotisserie rod and onto the Cliplock ForkTM. Push the second set of Cliplock ForksTM onto the rod and into the other end of the food, and lock in position by pressing down the small fork lever.
To extend the rotisserie poles, first press and release them so the first section pops out from the barbeque. Pull the poles up and rotate clockwise to allocate the poles in one of the 3 height settings. The pole to the right contains the rotisserie motor. Take the rotisserie rod with the food attached and place the pointed end in the motor hole at the top of the right hand side pole. Lever the handle side of the rod down into the slot of the left hand pole (take care the slot in the rod allocates to the keyway) and close the pole cover. Turn on the rotisserie by pressing the right button (an audible sound and LED will indicate this has turned on). Adjust charcoal to suit the food being cooked.
Do not leave the appliance cooking for extended periods of time unattended. As food cooks on the rotisserie, fat can drip off causing flair-ups which can spoil food. Constant supervision can help to reduce the incidence of food spoilage.
When the food has finished cooking, press the right button again (the LED at the switch will turn off), to stop the rotisserie from turning. Hold the handle with one hand and lift the other end from the motor (using heat resistant gloves). Place food on a platter and release the outer Cliplock ForkTM, then remove using metal tools. Release the second Cliplock ForkTM and remove the rod. Pull the second fork from the food. Note: Take care as the rotisserie parts will be hot. Clean the rod by rubbing down with water and detergent, and clean the Cliplock ForksTM by first soaking in hot water and then rubbing down with water and detergent. Once dry, the rod can be coated with a thin film of cooking oil. Rotate the rod handle clockwise and lock in the shorter setup.
With the barbeque cool, open the storage door on the left hand side of the barbeque and push the rod into the round hole, then overlap the forks and put next to the rod handle. Rotate the two rotisserie poles anti-clockwise and then lower. To fix into the barbeque, press them slightly below the top level of the barbeque and release (the internal spring switch will then hold them in place).
AFTER COOKING
READ ALL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE IGNITING THE CHARCOAL. TAKE CARE THE POWER CORD CANNOT TOUCH ANY HOT SURFACES OR IGNITED CHARCOAL.
LIGHTING THE BARBEQUE USING THE FAST FLAME IGNITION SYSTEM™
The FAST FLAME IGNITION SYSTEM™ works on the principle that charcoal will ignite when heated above a certain temperature (it is not dependant on a flame to ignite). First pile the charcoal over the charcoal grid (allowing it to overflow up to 20mm). With the charcoal in place, press the left button (an audible sound and LED will indicate that the element has turned on). The element will heat up and run for 7 minutes. During this time, the charcoal closest to the element will ignite. As it heats up and ashes, the surrounding charcoal will do the same. After 7 minutes the element will turn off and the ignition of the charcoal will continue to naturally ignite. After 10-15 minutes (depending on the weather conditions and the fuel used), most of the charcoal should have partially or fully ignited. Using metal tools, spread the charcoal inside the charcoal chamber and add extra fuel if necessary (extra fuel can be added during the cooking period as well). Never use more than 1.2kg of fuel at any one time. See the Quick User Guide for more information.
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Before cleaning the barbeque exterior and pedestal, ensure the appliance has cooled and is safe to touch, and that the appliance has been removed from the power supply. Painted and plastic surfaces can be cleaned using a mild household detergent or cleaner and a clean cloth (do not use scourers or harsh detergents). It is advisable to test cleaners on a small section of the appliance first. NEVER use paint thinners or similar solvents for cleaning and NEVER pour cold water over hot surfaces. Dry the surface afterwards.
Rotisserie poles should be wiped down with a soft cloth to remove an oil or grit (do not allow water to flow down the poles and into the barbeque).
INTERNAL CLEANING
Before cleaning the internal parts of your barbeque, ensure the appliance has cooled and is safe to touch. The inside of the charcoal chamber can be cleaned by using some water, mild detergent and a sponge or mild scouring pad.
For hard to clean areas, use a little baking soda on a wet sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
All ash and any leftover fuel should be removed after every cook (take care that it is fully extinguished and cold). After cleaning the charcoal chamber, remove the charcoal grid and carefully twist the element upwards. Remove the element bracket (X) and remove and empty the heat shield. Clean any ash or oil that may have dropped into the element bowl, and replace the heat shield and element bracket. Twist the element back over the bracket and replace the charcoal grid. Note: all parts MUST be in place correctly before cooking again.
The surfaces of the open grills may be hot. Please ensure heat resistant gloves are worn.
STORAGE
When the appliance is not in use, the barbeque (and pedestal if supplied) can be stored outdoors, but must be under cover and covered (preferably with a purpose made FUSIONTM Barbeque cover), out of the weather. Ensure the cooking surface is clean before storing away.
Do not leave the power cord connected to the power supply for extended periods of time (disconnect after use).
Solid fuel is not igniting or taking longer than expected to ignite:
Power supply interrupted | Check the LED at the ignition switch is lighting when pressed. Check cord is connected & turned on. Check power is being supplied to appliance (power outage or tripped circuit breaker). Check that retractable power cord has not been pulled out too far (it can interrupt the internal power connection). |
Poor type of solid fuel used | Fuel may be wrong size (parts too large). Break up larger parts so they can ignite easier. Purchase a different type of charcoal and try. We recommend using 100% natural lump charcoal in this appliance (see Hestonbyeverdyre.com). |
Solid fuel is damp | Solid fuels can become damp over time, which retards ignition. Store in a dryer place & repurchase fresh solid fuel. |
Solid fuel incorrectly distributed in charcoal chamber | Follow the instructions on placing the solid fuel in the charcoal chamber. If charcoal has compacted down tight, remove some solid fuel so air can flow freely through and assist in ignition. If too little fuel is used, the heat and ignition may not pass as fast between separate pieces. |
Timer or element not working | Remove fuel and check LED on ignition switch is lighting up when pressed. Check for heat from the element (without fuel this should run for 7 minutes before turning off) with a hand at a safe distance. If not running, contact your nearest Service Centre. |
Internal components not aligned correctly | Check element heat shield, support bracket and element are correctly positioned. Check charcoal chamber correctly allocated in lower tabs. Check charcoal grid is correctly allocated in charcoal chamber. |
Barbeque not cleaned | Check ash has not collected inside the element bowl or heatshield, or blocked the charcoal grid. |
Weather conditions and ambient temperature | Cold, windy and wet conditions will affect the ignition and combustion process. Move barbeque to a more suitable location. |
Rotisserie not operating:
Power supply interrupted | Check the LED at the rotisserie switch is lighting when pressed. Check cord is connected & turned on. Check power is being supplied to appliance (power outage or tripped circuit breaker). Check that retractable power cord has not been pulled out too far (it can interrupt the internal power connection). |
Rotisserie rod not seated in motor correctly | Remove rod from poles and check motor socket is rotating. Check rod handle is fully extended. Place rod in motor and check handle end is correctly allocated in the slot and keyway of the left hand pole. |
Rotisserie overloaded | Check rod rotates without food, and then with food. Remove some of the food from the rotisserie and try again |
Rotisserie motor has jammed | Motor or internal parts have seized. Contact your nearest Service Centre. |
The barbeque and pedestal (if supplied) must be assembled before use. Only a medium size Philips screwdriver is needed.
Open the carton from the top and remove the parts. Remove all packaging (especially check inside the barbeque and under the charcoal grid) and place parts on a clean surface. Check for any damage or missing parts (if found, contact your service department).
