MATADOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Do’s & Don’ts
DO’S
• We recommend the use of a charcoal chimney
starter to avoid the dangers associated with
charcoal lighter fluid. If you choose to use
charcoal lighter fluid, only use one approved
for lighting charcoal. Carefully read the
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the
charcoal lighter fluid and charcoal prior to using
them. Store charcoal lighter fluid safely away
from the BBQ.
• When using charcoal lighter fluid, allow
the charcoal to burn with the BBQ lid and
doors open until covered with a light ash
(approximately 20 minutes). This will allow
the charcoal lighter fluid to burn off. Failure to
do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighter
fluid in the BBQ and may result in a flash fire or
explosion when the lid is opened.
DON’TS
• Do not use petrol, kerosene or alcohol for
lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar
products could cause an explosion possibly
leading to severe bodily injury.
• Never add charcoal lighter fluid to hot or even
warm coals, as flashback may occur causing
severe burns.
• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated
with lighter fluid. Use only high grade charcoal
briquettes or charcoal lump wood.
• Do not leave the BBQ unattended when in use.
• Do not store or use the BBQ near flammable
liquids, gases or where flammable vapours may
be present.
• Do not store lighter fluid or other flammable
liquids or materials under the BBQ.
• BBQ will become hot when in use. To avoid
burns and injury:
• DO NOT attempt to move the BBQ.
• Wear protective BBQ gloves.
• DO NOT touch any hot BBQ surfaces
• Keep children away from hot surfaces
• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair
to come in contact with the grill.
