Assembly, Operation & Maintenance Instructions
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and efficient cooking. Set up the
barbeque in a safe place. Try to keep the barbeque sheltered from strong winds as this
will drastically alter cooking efficiency. 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 the supporting surface can withstand the heat.
WARNING! This barbeque will become very hot during operation. If you need to move it
during operation, we recommend taking extreme care and grab by the handles only. Never
grab the barbeque by the body or sides when in use.

FUEL TYPE AND CONSUMPTION
This barbeque is designed to cook with lump charcoal. 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.
Place enough charcoal into the fuel compartment according to the instruction manual.
Light the charcoal using the Fast Flame Ignition System
TM
. The charcoal will then burn for
a period with flames. When burning is established, spread the fuel evenly. Make sure that
the cooking grid is fully located into the grill supports, then you can enjoy your barbequing.
Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
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 pair of chromed open grills, which can be
fully removed or levered up from the front to add additional charcoal. The grills should
be positioned so that the grill handles are to the front (they will allocate in the notches
at the front of the barbeque). Take care that food cooked is wider than the gaps in the
grills or positioned lengthways so it doesn’t fall through. Over time, the surface of the
grills will discolour with the heat of the fuel (this is a normal process and not a fault). It is
recommended that the grills are 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 grills to cool and then clean. After cleaning, coat
with a little cooking oil to minimise any rusting. Note - During and after operation: Whilst
the grill handles are cool to touch, please be aware that the grill surface will be hot - handle
with care.
ROTISCOPE TECHNOLOGY
TM
Rotiscope Technology
TM
is the patent pending built-in rotisserie system of the barbeque.
The maximum rated capacity of the motor is 88lbs (40 kg). Please check the dimensions
of the meat are suitable for the product before purchasing.
The rotisserie rod and Cliplock Forks
TM
are stored in the compartment at the front of the
left hand side panel. Lift the storage door up, remove the Cliplock Forks
TM
(take care of
the sharp points of the fork fingers) and pull the rod out from the storage compartment
(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. To fit food onto the rotisserie, first slide a Cliplock Fork
TM
(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 Fork
TM
. Push the second Cliplock Fork
TM
onto the
rod and into the other end of the food, and lock in position by pressing down the small fork
lever. This can be repeated (if necessary) with the second set of Cliplock Forks
TM
.
To extend the rotisserie poles, first press and release them so the inner 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 and close the pole cover. Turn on the rotisserie by pressing the right button (an
