FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Curing your ceramic charcoal barbecue is important for its long-term operation and care. Avoiding the curing procedure could
lead to damage on the unit. If the first burns are too hot, they could damage the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance
to mature with use. To start your first fire:
1. Place one lighter cube, or solid firelighters and one handful of lump charcoal on top of the charcoal plate. Open the
bottom vent and light the lighter cube using a long-nosed lighter or safety matches.
Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
2. Once the lump charcoal has caught, cure the unit by closing the lid, and leaving both vents mostly closed. Burn until all
the fuel is used and the fire is extinguished. This should take approximately two hours. Do not overload the unit with
fuel.
3. After grill has cooled, inspect all fasteners. The metal band connecting your lid to the base will expand from the heat and
could become loose. It is recommended you check and tighten the band, if necessary, with a wrench.
4. The ceramic charcoal barbecue can now be used as normal.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
When using the ceramic charcoal barbecue, push down on both of the locking wheels to stop the unit from moving around during
use. Ensure the ceramic barbecue is positioned on a permanent, flat, level, heat-resistant non-flammable surface, away from
flammable items. Position the ceramic charcoal barbecue with a minimum of 2 m / 78 in overhead clearance and at least 2 m / 78
in clearance from other surrounding items.
1. To start a fire, place rolled-up newspaper and some lighter cubes or solid firelighters on the charcoal plate, in the base of
the ceramic charcoal barbecue. Then, place two or three handfuls of lump charcoal over the top of the newspaper.
Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
2. Open the bottom vent and light the newspaper using a long-nosed lighter or safety matches. Once it has caught, leave
the bottom vent and lid open for about 10 minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.
3. Allow the charcoal to heat up and keep it red hot for at least 30 minutes prior to the first cooking on the ceramic charcoal
barbecue. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
It is recommended that you do not stoke or turn the coals once they are alight. This allows the charcoals to burn
more uniformly and efficiently.
4. Once alight, only use heat-resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.
REFUELLING PROCEDURE
With the top and bottom vent closed, the ceramic charcoal barbecue will stay at a high temperature for several hours. If you
require a longer cooking time (e.g. when roasting a whole cut or slow-smoking), it may be necessary to add more charcoal.
1. Open the lid and remove the cooking grids using heat-resistant gloves or a spatula.
2. Add additional charcoal to the fire box
3. Replace cooking grids and continue to cook as normal.
IMPORTANT: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill. Also,
do not attempt to add more fire starter into a fire that is already burning or into a hot burn grate. This may cause injury.
EXTINGUISHING THE GRILL
1. When finished cooking and extinguish unit, stop adding fuel. Close all the vents and the lid to allow the fire to die
naturally by lack of oxygen.
IMPORTANT: Do not use water to extinguish the charcoal as this could damage the ceramic charcoal barbecue.
