FOOD COOKING INFORMATION
• Please read and follow this advice when cooking on your firebowl.
• Always wash your hands before and after handling uncooked meat and before eating.
• Always keep raw meat away from cooked meat and other foods.
• Before cooking ensure grill surfaces and tools are clean and free of old food residues.
• DO NOT use the same utensils to handle cooked and uncooked foods.
• Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before eating.
• CAUTION – eating raw or under cooked meat can cause food poisoning (e.g. bacteria strains such as E.coli).
• To reduce the risk of under cooked meat cut open to ensure it is cooked all the way through.
• CAUTION – if meat has been cooked sufficiently the meat juices should be clear and there should be no
traces of pink/red juice or meat colouring.
• Pre-cooking larger pieces of meat and joints is recommended before finally cooking on your grill.
• After cooking on your grill always clean the grill cooking surfaces and utensils.
• Clean your grill using warm, soapy water. DO NOT clean in a dishwasher.
EXTINGUISHING
• To extinguish unit – stop adding fuel and allow fire to die or douse with sand. DO NOT use water as this
may damage the Firebowl.
STORAGE
• When not in use, and if stored outside, cover the Firebowl once completely cooled with a La Hacienda
Firebowl Cover.
• The unit may be left outside all year if a La Hacienda Firebowl cover is used to help protect it from the
elements. In very cold spells (below -3°C), it is recommended your Firebowl also be moved into a shed,
garage or under cover.
• If using a La Hacienda outdoor cover, only position once the fire has died and unit has completely cooled.
• Regularly re-treat your Firebowl with La Hacienda Chimseal during the summer season and at the end of
each season before reusing.
• The general lifespan of the Firebowl may be affected by continued repositioning.
