OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PREHEATING THE BBQ BEFORE COOKING
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
1. We recommend you light a small amount of
charcoal, (1 kg) in the charcoal tray. Once the
charcoal is alight, push it around the base of the
charcoal tray using long tongs so as to cure in
the steel and burn off paint or oil.
2. Place the stainless steel cooking grills into the BBQ
and let the charcoal burn.
3. When warming up the charcoal, rub the cooking
grills over with a little cooking oil on paper towels
using long tongs, be careful of flare-ups from the
oil dripping onto the hot coals.
4. Once the BBQ is seasoned, then you can start
cooking on it.
5. It is best to use only a little charcoal when starting
to use the BBQ. We advise cooking with only a
single layer of fuel across the entire bottom of the
charcoal tray in the fire box to avoid unnecessary
flare-ups.
6. The winding handle on the front panel of the
BBQ controls the distance the coals are from the
cooking surface.
By winding the charcoal tray down away from
the cooking grills, it will decrease the heat from
the cooking surface above and should also help
with reducing any flare if needed.
7. Wind the tray up and the meat will cook faster as
the charcoal is closer to the cooking surface.
Flare ups are common. When using charcoal,
you can avoid large flare ups by winding
down the charcoal tray so the heat is further
away from the food.
Charcoal BBQs burn oxygen and release
carbon monoxide along with other harmful
gases that can kill or make you very sick.
It only takes a couple of handful of charcoal
burning in a small room to kill you or others so
make sure you never use the BBQ indoors.
Make sure to attend an operating BBQ at all times.
Children should be supervised at all times during and
after the use of the BBQ.
Never let children operate this appliance.
Keep children and pets well away from the
barbecue when it is in use or when cleaning the
barbecue as it is hot.
Warning: NEVER use the Charcoal Deluxe BBQ
indoors.
It is very important that the BBQ is seasoned in
before cooking on the BBQ.
Place just enough charcoal in the coal tray to
cover the entire base of the coal tray.
The coal tray surface needs to be cured and
any associated fumes dispersed before it is
used to cook on.
Remember that all surfaces of the BBQ are hot
when it is in use and after use as it cools down.
