Installation
Selecting a Location
This barbecue is for outdoor use only and
should be placed in a well-ventilated area, and
on a safe and even surface. Never place your
barbecue below ground level. Take care to
ensure that it is not placed UNDER any
combustible surface. The sides of the barbecue
should NEVER be closer than 1 metre from any
combustible surface, including trees and fences
and that there are no heat sources near the
barbecue (cigarettes, open flames, spark etc.).
Keep this barbecue away from any flammable
materials!
Precautions
Do not obstruct any ventilation openings in the
barbecue body.
Operation
Warnings
nBefore proceeding, make certain that you
understand the IMPORTANT
INFORMATION section of this manual.
nYour barbecue is not designed to be used
with any part of the cooking area as a solid
plate — this includes baking dishes. Full
coverage will cause excessive build-up of
heat and damage the barbecue. This is not
covered by warranty.
• This barbecue is designed for charcoal use
only. It is not designed to be used with lump
wood charcoal, including lump wood based
lighting bags, as it burns too quickly. We
recommend the use of charcoal briquettes.
• Use only enough briquettes to cover the
charcoal grill in a single layer. Do not
overload the charcoal grill.
• The maximum amount of briquettes to be
used at any one time is 2.5kg.
• When placing charcoal, never allow charcoal
to be closer than 5cm to the surrounding
sides of the barbecue body.
Preparation Before Cooking
To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking
surface, please use a long handled brush to
apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil
before each barbecuing session. (Note:
When cooking for the first time, paint colours
may change slightly as a result. This is normal
and should be expected.)
Lining the Ash Tray
Line the ash tray with aluminium foil. This will
protect the tray, help better reflect heat, and
make cleaning easier when barbecuing is
finished.
Starting the Charcoal
• Open the barbecue hood or lid before
lighting. Never light your barbecue with the
hood or lid closed.
• Take the barbecue grills out of the barbecue
body.
• Block Type Starters – Form charcoal in a
pyramid around it. Light the starter block.
When charcoal is well lit, using a heat
resistant tool, spread the charcoal around
the grid, adding more as necessary.
