ASSEMBLY OF THE KAMADO
-
Beware of the packages placed around the ceramic barbecue. When removing the outer packaging, parts can fall out and get damaged.
-
When opening the lid of the barbecue, make sure that it does not tip over when removing the boxes on the inside of the grill.
-
Be cautious with all ceramic parts of the barbecue.
-
When placing the barbecue in the stand always lift with at least 2 people.
SETTING UP THE KAMADO
Always use the barbecue in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal fire codes. Before each use check all nuts, screws and bolts to make sure they are tight and secure.
Keep a minimum 3 meter (10ft.) clearance of all combustible materials such as
wood, dry plants, grass, brush, paper or canvas.
Maintain a minimum distance of 3 meters (10ft.) from overhead construction,
walls, rails or other structures.
Keep a fire extinguisher (BC or ABC) accessible at all times while operating
the barbecue.
The barbecue has to be installed on a secure level base prior to use.
Do not move the barbecue over uneven surfaces.
Do not use the barbecue on wooden or flammable surfaces.
Always be careful with any moving part of the barbecue, there is danger of
entrapment. Never hold your hands near the springs of the hinge.
LIGHTING THE KAMADO
Use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair user’s
ability to assemble or safely operate the barbecue.
Never overfill the charcoal basket. This can cause serious injury as well as
damage to the barbecue. Never fill the fuel compartment more than 75%.
We recommend using a type of charcoal to your preference. We advise against
most types of briquettes,since they could emit an unpleasant taste.
It is recommended that the barbecue shall be heated up and the coal kept red
hot for at least 30 min prior to the first cooking
During first use, light the charcoal in one spot only. Lighting the charcoal
in multiple spots creates a rapid temperature rise which can cause damage to
the barbecue.
After igniting the fire, let the barbecue heat up slowly by partly opening up
the damper (air inlet) and topcap (chimney). Heating up the barbecue too fast
with a fully opened damper and topcap can cause damage to the barbecue.
TUNING AND HANDLING THE KAMADO
Every time before opening the barbecue, do this carefully and let it “burp” to
prevent flashback – a surge of white-hot heat caused by a rush of oxygen. Do
this by slightly opening the lid (3cm) and waiting for 5 seconds.
In the event of an oil or grease fire do not attempt to extinguish with water.
Immediately call the fire department. Using a type “BC” or “ABC” fire
extinguisher may, in some circumstances, contain the fire.
The barbecue has an open flame. Keep hands, hair and face away from flames. Do
NOT lean over the grill when lighting. Loose hair and clothing may catch fire.
Do not touch HOT surfaces of the barbecue without the use of suitable
protective gloves.
When handling hot metal parts like the grill, wear suitable protective gloves
AND use long sturdy tools like an appropriate grid lifter.
The damper (air inlet) and topcap (chimney) can get very hot during use,
suitable heat resistant gloves are advised during operation.
Between the ceramic dome and base you find the gasket. Never remove this,
since it ensures an airtight seal that helps to regulate the temperature.
Never leave the barbecue unattended while it is lit.
Be careful when removing food from grill. All surfaces are HOT and may cause
burns. Use protective gloves/mitts and long, sturdy cooking tools for
protection from hot surfaces or splatter from cooking liquids.
Make sure the barbecue is completely cooled down before you move it. It is
recommended to hold the barbecue by the bottom sides of the hinge and pull it
backwards, do not push it.
Do not obstruct flow of combustion and ventilation.
Doing so can cause damage to the barbecue.
Never extinguish the charcoal with water, this can cause damage to the
barbecue. Close the damper (air inlet) and topcap (chimney) to let the fire
die out. This may take some time.
Only store the barbecue when it has completely cooled down to ambient
temperature.
CLEANING AND CARE FOR THE KAMADO
Do not use chemical based cleaners on the gasket. If necessary gently wipe off
any spills or moisture. Do not scrub or abrade the gasket, excessive rubbing
can cause wear and/or damage.
Do not use chemical based cleaners or water when cleaning the ceramic, if
necessary gently wipe off any spills or moisture from the ceramic.
The inside ceramic of the barbecue can be cleaned by raising the barbecue
temperature to 315° Celsius with the dome closed. Beware, do not do this with
a new barbecue or with a barbecue that has not been used for a while! This can
cause damage to the barbecue.
When the barbecue has not been used for a while, heat up the barbecue slowly
to a maximum of 200° Celsius. Leave at this temperature for at least 1 hour to
let moisture buildup inside of the ceramic parts evaporate. Not doing so can
cause damage to the barbecue.
TIPS AND TRICKS
Make sure that the temperature during the first three uses of the barbecue
does not exceed 200° Celsius.
By further opening and/or closing the damper (air inlet) and topcap (chimney),
the temperature of the barbecue can be adjusted.
Never leave the barbecue unattended. During first use you have to get used to
the way the temperature of the barbecue is adjusted, so we recommend to keep a
close eye on the thermometer.
During the first three times you use the barbecue, let the temperature
gradually increase to 200° Celsius, not more. Doing so can damage the
barbecue.
To stop grilling, close the damper and topcap completely. This makes the fire
die out and makes the barbecue cool down.
