Barbecue safety hints
1. Outdoor
use
only.
2. Always stand your barbecue on firm, level and heat-resist surface, well away from wooden fences, overhanging
trees and other flammable materials.
3. The barbecue must always be under the control of a competent adult. Keep young children and pets at a safe
distance once the charcoal has ignited.
4. Never use white spirit, paraffin, petrol, methylated spirit, lighter fuel or similar solvents to light the barbecue. To help
ignition, only use firelighters that comply with EN 1860-3. Never add lighting fuel, once the charcoal has ignited.
5. Never attempt to move the barbecue after the charcoal has been lit, as it will become very hot. Always wait until the
barbecue has completely cooled before attempting to move it.
6. Do not leave a lighted barbecue unattended, even for the shortest period of time.
7. The barbecue should be heated up and the fuel kept red hot for at least 30 minutes prior to the first cooking on the
barbecue.
8.
Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash
.
9. Most metal parts will become very hot during use. The use of protective mittens/gloves is recommended when
handling the grill, turning food, etc.
10. Flare-ups will occur when the hot fat from food drips onto the charcoal. Keep a jet water sprayer at hand to
extinguish any flames and prevent food from burning.
11. When cooking has finished, extinguish the charcoal using a fine water spray or by covering with sand.
12. Remember, ensure the charcoal has completely cooled before attempting to empty the barbecue and clean it.
13. To prolong the life of the metal parts, do not leave the barbecue outside and unprotected from the weather. Ideally it
should be stored in a garage or garden shed when not in use.
14. If the product is broken or damaged discontinue use immediately.
Barbecue helpful hints
1. To make it easier to clean your barbecue after use line the firebowl with aluminum cooking foil, shine side up.
Remember to leave ventilation holes clear by piercing the foil where necessary.
2. Charcoal is available in lump wood form (large irregular pieces) and as briquets (uniformly sized pieces). As a
guide lump-wood charcoal is best in barbecue for quickly cooked foods such as sausages and burgers whilst
briquets are more suitable for a roast as they burn longer and hotter.
3. It is not advisable to completely fill the firebowl as the barbecue may become far too hot to cook successfully.
4. If the fire flares up due to dripping fat then douse the flames lightly with a fine water spray.
5. When you have finished cooking never pour cold water directly on the coals to extinguish them as this may
damage your barbecue. Use old cinders, sand or a fine water spray.
6. To clean your barbecue soak the cooking grill and tools in hot soapy water as soon as possible after use. Dry
thoroughly and store in a dry place. Do not leave your barbecue outside unprotected.
