DURING GRILLING
For the correct amount of charcoal/briquettes – see page 3 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 48 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 with a grill cover. 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 a cover or on putting the grill away for storage.
It is very important that the grill is totally dry before putting a cover on. Any dampness
shut inside the grill cover can cause condensation and thus rust.
It is important that grill and grates are cleaned after every use and before putting it into
long-term storage. Residues of marinade, oils, 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.
