yourself from the flames.
If a fat fire occurs, please see the instructions
given below.
Fat Fires
Empty and clean the ash tray of food debris
after each cooking session. If the barbecue is to
be used for large gatherings, additional care will
be required to ensure excessive build up of fat
does not occur and cause a fat fire. The time
between cleaning may need to be reduced if
very fatty foods or cheap meat products are
being cooked. Failure to do this may result in a
fat fire, which may cause injury and could
seriously damage the barbecue.
In the event of a fat fire:
Keep everyone at a safe distance from the
barbecue and wait until the fire has burnt
out.
Do not close the hood or lid of the barbecue.
NEVER DOUSE A BARBECUE WITH
WATER. IF AN EXTINGUISHER IS USED,
IT SHOULD BE A POWDER TYPE.
DO NOT REMOVE THE ASH TRAY.
If the fire does not seem to be abating or
appears to be worsening, contact your local
Fire Brigade for assistance.
Replenishing the Charcoal
To replenish the charcoal during use, remove
the food from the cooking grill. With protected
hands, use the grill lifting handle provided to
raise up the foldable section of the grill. After
adding the charcoal, carefully replace the grill,
and continue cooking when the charcoal is
ready.
End of Cooking Session
Ash can be shaken from the charcoal basket
where it will drop into the ash tray. Ash should
not be disposed of until you are certain it is cold
and will not be able to re-ignite. Dispose of any
unburned charcoal and remove remaining
residue with a brass wire brush.
Wait until the barbecue is sufficiently cool
before closing its hood or lid.

Care and Maintenance

Regularly clean your barbecue between uses
and especially after extended periods of
storage.
Ensure
the
components
are
sufficiently
barbecue
and
its
cool
before

cleaning. Do not leave the barbecue exposed
to outside weather conditions or stored in damp,
moist areas.
Never handle hot parts with unprotected
hands.
Never douse the barbecue with water when
its surfaces are hot.
In order to extend the life and maintain the
condition
of
your
barbecue,
recommend that the unit be covered when left
outside for any length of time, especially during
the winter months. Heavy-duty barbecue covers
and other accessories are available from your
local stockist.
Even when your barbecue is covered for its
protection, it must be inspected on a regular
basis as damp or condensation can form which
may result in damage to the barbecue. It may
be necessary to dry the barbecue and the
inside of the cover. It is possible for mould to
grow on any fat remaining on parts of the
barbecue. This should be cleaned off smooth
surfaces with hot soapy water.
Any rust that is found that does not come into
contact with the food should be treated with a
rust inhibitor and painted with barbecue paint or
a heat resistant paint.
A chrome cleaner may be used on chrome
parts if required. To prevent rusting, wipe
chrome plated parts with cooking oil after
rinsing and drying.
Cooking Surfaces
When the barbecue has cooled, clean with hot
soapy water. To remove any food residue, use
a mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad.
Do not use scouring pads or powders as they
can permanently damage the finish. Rinse well
and dry thoroughly. Due to the weight of the
cooking surfaces, we do not recommend
cleaning in a dishwasher.
Ash Tray
After every use, empty and clean the ash tray of
any fat or food particles, using a plastic or
wooden scraper if necessary.
Discard the ash and foil, and wash any
remaining ash or fat from the tray.
Failure to keep it clean, and excessive build up
can result in a fat fire. This can be hazardous
and severely damage the barbecue. This is not
