-
For your safety and enjoyment. read all operating instructions before using this appliance. Do not use the barbeque unless it’s completely assembled and all parts are securely fastened and tightened.
-
In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a health hazard. Unplug the appliance before cleaning or carrying out maintenance. When the appliance is not in use, unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and retract the power chord fully.
-
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
-
Ensure that all electrical connections are secure, dry and protected from moisture before operating this appliance. Do not disconnect the appliance with wet hands and do not disconnect the power cord with extreme force.
-
Always fully extend the retractable power cord when in use (leaving the power cord fully or partially retracted can cause the cord to overheat & become damaged). Take care not to exert undue force on the cord and its assembly when adjusting the length. If use of an extension power lead cannot be avoided, always use good quality (low resistance) leads that are suitable for the environment where cooking is taking place, and use the shortest length possible to reduce any power lost to the appliance.
-
Do not use this appliance with a programmer, timer or any other device that switches the appliance on automatically, since a fire risk exists if the appliance is covered or positioned incorrectly.
-
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised service centre or similarly qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
-
Do not immerse the barbeque in water ( only removable grills, charcoal grids and rotisserie parts can be immersed).
-
As charcoal can smoulder for an extended period of time, take care when removing ash after cooking. It is recommended that a non-combustible container (metal or ceramic) be used to contain any ash before being doused in water and disposed of correctly.
-
This barbeque has been designed to be used either on a FUSION™ pedestal, a raised bench or the ground. When using a raised surface (table etc.) or the ground, ensure the surface is level, large enough and strong enough to support the barbeque and will withstand temperatures of 176° F (80° C) above ambient temperature. When using the pedestal, ensure that your barbeque is in a level position and the barbeque is positioned fully on the pedestal. The barbeque has to be installed on a secure level base prior to use.
-
People with flammable clothing such as nylon etc. should keep well away from the barbeque when it is operating.
-
Do not use this appliance for any purpose other than what it is intended for.
-
In the event of a oil or grease fire do not attempt to extinguish with water.Immediately call the fire department. A Type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may, in some circumstances contain the fire, regular cleaning after use should reduce the build-up of fat and food residues which are combustible and can result in a fat fire. Fat fires can be prevented with diligence in cleaning fats and oil from the heat shield and bowl around the electrical element and the inner chassis. Do not allow ash to build up inside the chassis – clean up after every use. For more information on controlling fat fires see the Quick User Guide.
-
Ensure that the product has adequate clearance from combustible materials. The appliance is designed so that heat will not affect the pedestal. Do not use within 1ft
(250 mm) of any flammable structure or under any combustible surface. -
Keep your barbeque protected against strong wind where possible (the lid can be used as a rear wind shield by hanging it from the bracket at the rear of the appliance). As charcoal cooking can vary in time and intensity, it is recommended that the barbeque not be left for more than 5 minutes at a time while cooking.
-
We recommend that you regularly maintain your barbeque and keep it in good condition. This can be achieved by following the cleaning and maintenance suggestions in this booklet. Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
-
This appliance is not suitable for mounting in a movable vehicle (boat, trailer etc).
-
Do not use or store this appliance in areas of high salt content (a marine environment) or an area with caustic fumes or liquids (such as a domestic pool), as these chemicals can cause the appliance materials to deteriorate (and void the warranty). Regular cleaning and covering with an Everdure by Heston Blumenthal barbeque cover can help to reduce this.
-
Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used. Do not touch metal parts
of barbeque until it has completely cooled to avoid burns, unless you are wearing protective gloves. -
Burning of solid fuels produces poisonous gases, which can kill! Therefore, never use this appliance indoors or bring indoors if not totally extinguished.
-
Do not use solid fuels impregnated with fire accelerants or use any other type of accelerant on this appliance. This appliance is designed for electrical charcoal ignition only. Using any accelerant could cause serious property damage or personal injury. WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting! Do not use firelighters for lighting or re-lighting!
-
During ignition, follow the recommended charcoal area placement guide. Once the initial batch of charcoal has ignited, it can be mixed in with fresh charcoal and spread throughout the charcoal chamber. Overloading the charcoal chamber can result in damage to the appliance and food – ilts recommended that the charcoal fuel is fully ashed before you commence cooking.
-
The ignition timer is set to 7 minutes. Whilst this is in operation the element will run, heating and igniting the charcoal above it. Once the timer has finished, do not start again as the heat from the element will interfere with the natural progression of the charcoal ashing. Note: If the combined heat from the charcoal and element get too high, an over-temp switch will disable the element (the timer will continue to operate until the 7 minutes have elapsed).
-
Always allow the solid fuel to burn out naturally after cooking. Do not use any liquids to douse the charcoal. Do not move the appliance while the coals are still burning as hot ash, coal particles, unburned fuel and hot cooking fats & oils could spill and accessible parts may be very hot. The barbeque should only be lifted by the base at either side. If a pedestal is available, move the barbeque and pedestal separately.
-
Do not use volcanic rock or any type of non-combustible product in the charcoal chamber. If in doubt on what fuels can be used, check the Everdure By Heston Blumenthal website or contact the Service Department.
-
Solid fuels differ widely in burning time, heat, size and combustion. Always be aware of your surroundings and potential fire hazards caused by sparks or spitting fuels. Never dispose of solid fuels or hot ashes in areas where they can be trodden on or be a fire hazard. Never dispose of unburned solid fuels or ash until it has completely extinguished. The barbeque must be installed on a secure level base prior to use. We recommend using 100% natural lump charcoal in this appliance.
-
Always check with your local/state authorities before using this appliance for any fire restrictions regarding the use of an outdoor barbeque (due to local weather conditions).
-
When using solid fuels, take care that the surrounding environment is clear of combustible materials. Do not cook under overhanging buildings or close branches of trees. Note that solid fuels will produce varying amounts of smoke – take this into consideration when setting up the barbeque.
-
If you have any queries regarding these instructions, contact your local dealer.
Do not cook or store this appliance where liquids can enter the inner section of the .& appliance (rain, near sprinklers etc.). If the internal section does get wet, unplug the appliance from the electrical socket. allow to cool and move to a protected area. Fully dry out before any further use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and efficient cooking.
Set up the barbeque in a safe place. Try to keep the barbeque sheltered from
strong winds as this will drastically alter cooking efficiency. If this is
unavoidable, position the length of the barbeque to be parallel in the
direction of the wind. Keep the barbeque level. Check frequently that the
charcoal stays ignited (this does not necessarily mean a flame is visible),
and that flare ups are not occurring. Make sure the minimum distances of the
barbeque to any wall or combustible surface are met, and that when not using
the pedestal, the supporting surface can withstand the heat. When using the
pedestal, take care that the ground is level and no combustible material is
close by.
WARNING! This barbeque will become very hot, do not move during
operation. For more specific information (including set-up illustrations and
diagrams) and up to date cooking instructions, please visit the Everdure by
Heston Blumenthal website at
www.everdurebyheston.com.
FUEL TYPE AND CONSUMPTION
This barbeque is designed to cook with lump charcoal. The heat produced and consumption time may vary dramatically depending on the type of fuel used, and the prevailing weather conditions. Please see the Quick User Guide for more information on charcoal ignition and cooking. Do not use accelerants for fuel ignition or fuels impregnated with accelerants in this appliance as they may cause damage to the appliance or injury. Place enough charcoal into the fuel compartment according to the instruction manual. Light the charcoal using the FAST FLAME IGNITION SYSTEM™. The charcoal will then burn for a period with flames. When burning is established, spread the fuel evenly. Make sure that the cooking grid is fully located into the grill supports, then you can enjoy your barbequing. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash. After cooking, the remaining charcoal should be allowed to burn off naturally (this should be taken into account when planning the cooking times). Once finished, the ash and remaining fuel should be removed and placed into a non-flammable container (a metal bucket is ideal), a small amount of water added (just in case there is still any heat left in the waste) and disposed of safely as per local council rules. Note that protection from heat should always be used.
CHROME OPEN GRILL
The cooking surface for this barbeque is a chromed open grill, which can be fully removed or levered up from either side to add additional charcoal. The grill should be positioned so that the hinges are facing down (they will allocate in two notches at the front and rear of the charcoal chamber). Take care that food cooked is wider than the gaps in the grill or positioned lengthways so it doesn’t fall through. Over time, the surface of the grill will discolour with the heat of the fuel (this is a normal process and not a fault). It is recommended that the grill is placed on the barbeque after the charcoal has ignited and any adjustment on the fuel distribution has been done. If needed please remove the grills for greater clearance. After use, allow the grill to cool and then clean. After cleaning, coat with a little cooking oil to minimise any rusting.
ROTOSCOPE TECHNOLOGY™
Rotiscope Technology™ is the patent-pending built-in rotisserie system of the
barbeque. The maximum rated capacity of the motor is 15kg. Please check the
dimensions of the meat are suitable for the product before purchasing.
The rotisserie rod and Cliplock Forks™ are stored in the compartment at the
front of the left hand side panel. Lift the storage door up, remove the
Cliplock Forks™ (take care of the sharp points of the fork fingers) and pull
the rod out from the storage compartment (this is enclosed so the rod will not
interfere with the electrical wiring). Note: If the barbeque has been in
operation, the rotisserie parts may be hot – remove before cooking or use heat
proof gloves. The handle of the rotisserie rod must first be extended by
rotating the handle anti-clockwise until the thread releases, extending the
handle fully and tightening in place by rotating anti-clockwise again. To fit
food onto the rotisserie, first slide a Cliplock Fork™ (base first) onto the
rod, and lock off by pressing down the small fork lever. Push the food onto
the rotisserie rod and onto the Cliplock Fork™ . Push the second set of
Cliplock Forks™ onto the rod and into the other end of the food, and lock in
position by pressing down the small fork lever. To extend the rotisserie
poles, first press and release them so the inner section pops out from the
barbeque. Pull the poles up and rotate clockwise to allocate the poles in one
of the 3 height settings. The pole to the right contains the rotisserie motor.
Take the rotisserie rod with the food attached and place the pointed end in
the motor hole at the top of the right hand side pole. Lever the handle side
of the rod down into the slot of the left hand pole (take care the slot in the
rod allocates to the keyway) and close the pole cover. Turn n the rotisserie
by pressing the right button (an audible sound and LED will indicate this has
turned on). Adjust charcoal to suit the food being cooked. Do not leave the
appliance cooking for extended periods of time unattended. As food cooks on
the rotisserie, fat can drip off causing flare-ups which can spoil food.
Constant supervision can help to reduce the incidence of food spoilage. When
the food has finished cooking, press the right button again (the LED at the
switch will turn off), to stop the rotisserie from turning. Hold the handle
with one hand and lift the other end from the motor (using heat resistant
gloves). Place food on a platter and release the outer Cliplock Fork™, then
remove using metal tools. Release the second Cliplock Fork™ and remove the
rod. Pull the second fork from the food. Note: Take care as the rotisserie
parts will be hot. Clean the rod by rubbing down with water and detergent. and
clean the Cliplock Forks TM by first soaking in hot water and then rubbing
down with water and detergent. Once dry, the rod can be coated with a thin
film of cooking oil. Rotate the rod handle clockwise and lock in the shorter
position. With the barbeque cool, open the storage door on the left hand side
of the barbeque and push the rod into the round hole, then overlap the forks
and put next to the rod handle. Rotate the two rotisserie poles anti-clockwise
and then lower. To fix into the barbeque, press them slightly below the top
level of the barbeque and release (the internal spring switch will then hold
them in place).
AFTER COOKING
-
After cooking and whilst the barbeque is still warm, remove scraps from the grill with a scraper.
-
Excess fat and meat scraps can be scraped off the inside of the barbeque by removing the grill to gain access.
WARNING: Some surfaces may still be hot – please use protective gloves. -
Remove wastes from inside charcoal chamber, and under the charcoal grid and element.
-
To clean your barbeque, soak the cooking grill and tools in hot soapy water as soon as possible after use. Dry thoroughly and store in a dry place.
-
Protect the barbeque with a cover or store inside. Do not leave your barbeque outside unprotected.
IGNITION PROCEDURE
READ ALL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE IGNITING THE CHARCOAL. TAKE CARE THE POWER CORD CANNOT TOUCH ANY HOT SURFACES OR IGNITED CHARCOAL.
LIGHTING THE BARBEQUE USING THE FAST FLAME IGNITION SYSTEM™
The FAST FL AME IGNITION SYSTEM ™ works on the principle that charcoal will ignite when heated above a certain temperature (it is not dependant on a flame to ignite). First pile the charcoal over the charcoal grid (allowing it to overflow up to 20mm). With the charcoal in place, press the left button (an audible sound and LED will indicate that the element has turned on). The element will heat up and run for 7 minutes. During this time, the charcoal closest to the element will ignite. As it heats up and ashes, the surrounding charcoal will do the same. After 7 minutes the element will turn off and the ignition of the charcoal will continue to naturally ignite. After 10-15 minutes (depending on the weather conditions and the fuel used), most of the charcoal should have partially or fully ignited. Using metal tools, spread the charcoal inside the charcoal chamber and add extra fuel if necessary (extra fuel can be added during the cooking period as well). Never use more than 1.2kg of fuel at any one time. See the Quick User Guide for more information.
CLEANING & STORAGE
EXTERNAL CLEANING
Before cleaning the barbeque exterior and pedestal, ensure the appliance has cooled and is safe to touch, and that the appliance has been removed from the power supply. Painted and plastic surfaces can be cleaned using a mild household detergent or cleaner and a clean cloth (do not use scourers or harsh detergents). It is advisable to test cleaners on a small section of the appliance first. NEVER use paint thinners or similar solvents for cleaning and NEVER pour cold water over hot surfaces. Dry the surface afterwards. Rotisserie poles should be wiped down with a soft cloth to remove any oil or grit (do not allow water to flow down the poles and into the barbeque).
INTERNAL CLEANING
Before cleaning the internal parts of your barbeque, ensure the appliance has
cooled and is safe to touch. The inside of the charcoal chamber can be cleaned
by using some water, mild detergent and a sponge or mild scouring pad.
For hard to clean areas, use a little baking soda on a wet sponge. Do not use
abrasive cleaners. All ash and any leftover fuel should be removed after every
use (take care that it is fully extinguished and cold). After cleaning the
charcoal chamber, remove the charcoal grid and carefully twist the element
upwards. Remove the element bracket (X) and remove and empty the heat shield.
Clean any ash or oil that may have dropped into the element bowl, and replace
the heat shield and element bracket. Twist the element back over the bracket
and replace the charcoal grid. Note: all parts MUST be in place correctly
before cooking again.
WARNING! The surfaces of the open grills may be hot. Please ensure heat
resistant gloves are worn.
STORAGE
When the appliance is not in use, the barbeque (and pedestal if supplied) can be stored outdoors, but must be under cover and covered (preferably with a purpose made FUSION™ Barbeque cover), out of the weather. Ensure the cooking surface is clean before storing away. Do not leave the power cord connected to the power supply for extended periods of time (disconnect after use).
