When your Tandoor is delivered you will of course need to unpack it. The Tandoors are quite heavy
(SS1 model 40 kg and the SS2 model 60kg) and we do not recommend lifting them directly out
through the top of the crate. Never tip the crate over and slide the Tandoor out sideways. Instead,
simply carefully deconstruct the crate around the Tandoor. The Tandoor can then be moved on its
castor wheels.
The handles on the side of the Tandoor are to assist with moving it on the castors and are not
designed to take the weight of the Tandoor if it is being lifted. If the Tandoor has to be lifted, always
use at least 2 people and grip the Tandoor from underneath.
The outside body of the Tandoor does get hot and the skewers are sharp so position them away from
children and pets. Be mindful that burning coals can spill out of the side ventilation door if it is left
open. Although coals are unlikely fall out through the side vent door, we nevertheless do not
recommend leaving the vent door open more than about 1 cm when using the Tandoor.
Always let the Tandoor cool off naturally in a dry place. When cool, sweep out the ashes inside oven
via the side ventilation door using a small dust broom or even an old paint brush. Be CAREFUL there
are no coals still in the ash when you wipe out the Tandoor. The Tandoor is insulated very well and
hot coals can remain in the ash for as long as 24 hours after you have finished cooking!
If the lid is placed on the oven when the tandoor is in use, it will get very hot so always use gloves to
pick it up.
As with all open fires, always have sand or a fire extinguisher on hand in case of an emergency.
Never move your Tandoor whilst lit.
Our Tandoors are for outdoor use only
