USER INSTRUCTIONS
• Type of Charcoal to be used – Hardwood Lump Charcoal or Lump Wood Charcoal or Wood for best results.
• Application of the Tandoor Liquid Oil – One small jar of the Tandoor Liquid Oil is provided with the Tandoor.
Take 50gm of the oil and mix with plain yoghurt. Then take a brush or a cloth and dip in the mixture and
from the bottom of the clay pot to the top, including the mouth, mop this mixture all over the clay thoroughly,
then proceed with the First Burn.
• First Burn – This must be done to cure the Clay pot so that it does not break up during operation. After
applying the Tandoor Liquid Oil, place 1 to 1.5 kgs of hardwood lump charcoal in the bottom of the tandoor,
ensure that the lid on the top is left off and the vent door is open, then light the charcoal and let it burn for
several hours (3-4 hours) or until the charcoal burns out. During this procedure the mouth of the Tandoor
should be completely exposed. DO NOT cover the opening with the stainless-steel lid. Do not be alarmed if
you see small fissures appear on the clay surface it will not affect the performance of the Tandoor.
• Always ensure that the tandoor is positioned on a flat surface and that the floor is of a non-combustible
surface.
•
The temperature of the tandoor can be adjusted by opening and closing the vent at the bottom of the
tandoor or moving/adjusting/removing the lid at the mouth of the tandoor.
• Let the charcoal burn out naturally, do not use water to extinguish the fire.
WARNING - after the operation the appliance will remain hot for some time, therefore, to avoid injury,
care should be taken to prevent contact with hot surfaces.
