For the correct amount of charcoal/briquettes – see page 5 of this manual.

Do not overfill the grill with charcoal/briquettes. The grill can get too hot for cooking and the heat can
represent a risk to people or animals in the vicinity.

Using too much charcoal can also damage the grill surface and thus the paint/enamel. Paint and enamel are
applied to protect the grill and damage can cause rust.

The grill can be extremely hot when in use. Use grill gloves when grilling.

If flames should appear during use - due to fat, marinade or the like dripping on to the charcoal - we
recommend using a spray bottle to spray a little water on the charcoal.

When finished using the grill, do not douse the charcoal with large amounts of COLD water, as this can
damage the paint/enamel. Use sand or spray small amounts of water gradually and repeatedly.

Always check that all embers are extinguished before removing used charcoal/briquettes. This can take up
to 24 hours. Always dispose of ash and charcoal residue where they cannot cause fire.

To make cleaning your grill easier, cover the inside with aluminium foil before pouring the charcoal in
and using the grill. Use with the shiny side up. Remember to make holes in the foil for ventilation where
necessary.

Wash the grill grate in hot soapy water as soon after grilling as possible. Dry the grate well and store in a dry
place when not in use. We recommend coating the grate with food oil after cleaning, between each grilling
and before storing.

When storing the grill outdoors, keep it covered. Alternatively, the grill can be stored indoors, in a garage or
under a roof.

WARNING!
Always check that all the charcoal is extinguished and that there are no embers left before
putting the grill away for storage.

It is important that grill and grates are cleaned after every use and before putting it into long-term storage.
Residues of marinade, fat etc. can cause mould and accelerate rust.

We recommend repairing cracks or scratches in the paint or enamel with heat-resistant paint as soon as
possible. Stocked by ironmongers, builder's merchants, paint shops, workshops etc. Repair any rust as soon
as possible before it spreads.
GOOD ADVICE

A CLEAN BBQ WORKS BETTER, causes less smoke and will last longer.

PREHEAT THE BBQ to make sure the charcoal/briquettes are grey prior to placing food on the
BBQ. This gives a better result, and cuts BBQing time.
