Small quantities of charcoal may be added on top of the charcoal layer prior to cooking to extend
cooking time.

To help prevent food sticking, apply a thin coating of cooking oil on the grill prior to cooking.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE


To make it easier to clean your Charcoal BBQ after use, line the firebowl with aluminium cooking foil,
shiny side up. Remember to leave ventilation holes clear by piercing the foil where necessary. This
process will lengthen the life of your Charcoal BBQ.

Charcoal is available in lump wood from (large irregular pieces) and as briquettes (uniformly sized
pieces). Please use the charcoal complying to EN1860-2.

It is not advisable to completely fill the firebowl as the BBQ may become far too hot to cook
successfully. As a guide, a 3kg bag of charcoal briquettes should last for at least 2 full BBQ fires.

If the fire flares up due to dripping fat, then douse the flames lightly with a fine water spray.

When you have finished using the Charcoal BBQ, never pour cold water directly on the coals to
extinguish them, as this may damage your Charcoal BBQ. Use old cinder, sand or a fine water spray.

Empty the bottom bowl of ashes when they are completely cold.

To clean your Charcoal BBQ, 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 Charcoal BBQ outside
unprotected.

FOOD SAFETY


Thoroughly defrost frozen meat and poultry in the refrigerator before cooking. Keep raw meat and
poultry separate from cooked food.

Ensure that the grill is thoroughly cleaned before cooking and lighting the barbecue.

Always wash hands after handling raw meat and poultry, and before handling any ready to eat food.

Wipe and disinfect surfaces that have been in contact with raw meat and poultry.

When barbecuing meat and poultry, make sure the
thicker portions furthest away from the most intense heat, to ensure thorough cooking without
burning and turn regularly.

Use separate utensils for handling raw meat or poultry, and cooked food on the barbecue, or wash
them thoroughly between use.

To check whether meat, particularly poultry, is cooked, pierce the flesh with a skewer or fork; the
juices should run clear. Ensure the product is piping hot throughout.
Attention! This BBQ will become very hot, do not move it during operation. Do NOT use indoors.
