WARNING! CAUTION!
• This product is intended FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
DO NOT use indoors.
• NEVER leave a burning re unattended. ALWAYS keep children and
pets at a safe distance from the oven when in use.
• FIRE HAZARD! May emit hot embers while in use.
• DANGER of carbon monoxide poisoning: NEVER light this product, let
it smolder or cool down in conned spaces.
• DO NOT use this product in a tent, caravan, car, cellar, loft or boat.
DO NOT use this Kamado as a furnace.
• CAUTION! DO NOT use gasoline, white spirit, lighter uid, alcohol or
other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting. Use only relighters
complying to EN1860-3.
• It is highly recommended that you use lump charcoal in your
Kamado. It burns for longer and produces less ash, which can restrict
the airow. DO NOT use coal in this product.
• IMPORTANT! When opening the lid at high temperatures it is
essential to lift the lid only slightly, which allows air to enter slowly
and safely, preventing any back-draft or are-ups that may cause
injury. DO NOT use under any awnings, parasols or gazebos.
• ALWAYS follow the Cooking Temperature Guide stated in this
instruction manual.
• DO NOT use the Kamado on decking or any other ammable surfaces
such as dry grass, wood chips, leaf mulch, or decorative bark. Ensure
that the Kamado is positioned at least two meters away from
ammable items.
• ATTENTION! This product will become very hot. ALWAYS USE heat
resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.
Allow the unit to cool down completely before moving or storing. DO
NOT move it during operation.
• Always inspect the unit prior to use for fatigue and damage and
replace as and when necessary.
CURING THE KAMADO
To start a re, place rolled-up newspaper and some lighter cubes or
solid relighters on the charcoal plate (6), in the base of the Kamado.
Then, place two or three handfuls of lump charcoal over the top of
the newspaper.
DO NOT use gasoline, white spirit, lighter uid, alcohol or other similar
chemicals for lighting or relighting.
Open the bottom vent and light the newspaper using a long- nosed
lighter or safety matches.
DO NOT overload the unit with fuel. If the re is too intense, the heat
could damage the Kamado. Burn until all the fuel is used, and the re
is extinguished.
If the rst burns are too hot, they could damage the felt gasket seal before
it has had the chance to mature properly.
After rst use, inspect all fasteners for tightness. The metal band
connecting your lid to the base will expand from the heat and this could
become loose. It is recommended you check and if necessary, tighten the
band with a wrench.
You can now use your Kamado as normal.
EXTINGUISHING
To extinguish unit: stop adding fuel and close all the vents and the lid to
allow the re to die naturally.
DO NOT use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the
ceramic Kamado.
STORAGE
When not in use, and if stored outside, cover the Kamado once completely
cooled with a suitable rain cover.
It is recommended the Kamado be stored under cover in a garage or shed
over winter for complete protection.
