- For your safety and enjoyment, read all operating instructions before using this appliance.
- 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 outlet and retract the power cord fully.
- This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children should not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be performed by children without supervision.
- Unsupervised children or pets should not be near the oven while cooking or during warm up or cool down. Ensure children or pets are kept a distance well away from the oven whilst it is in use. WARNING! Keep children and pets away.
- 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.
- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised service center or qualified persons to avoid a hazard.
- 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.
- As charcoal can smolder 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 oven has been designed to be used on the base provided or built in. When on the base ensure the surface is level and strong enough to support the oven. When building in the oven the fixture must be able to withstand temperature of 175 F above ambient temperatures.
- Cool-to-touch* statement: The 4K is built with safety in mind. Insulation material and a double walled construction will drastically reduce the radiant heat transfer to the outer body up to a maxi- mum oven temperature of 430°F with the hood closed for no longer than 2 hours. The hood and top venting area are not cool-to-touch and extreme caution should be exercised when handling this area during times of prolonged use. We always recommend wearing heat resistant gloves when cooking with the 4K. Max temperature for contact zone excluding hood and top venting is 140°F above ambient temperature
- People with flammable clothing such as nylon etc. should keep well away from the oven when it is operating.
- Do not use this appliance for any purpose other than what it is intended for. In case of fat fires, remove food (if possible) and allow the fire to burn out naturally. Most fat will burn off quickly when it contacts the charcoal, but 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.
- It is important that you retain these instruction, proof of purchase as well as other important documents about this product for future reference.

Troubleshooting
Care for your 4K
CLEANING
WARNING: Ensure the 4K is completely off and unplugged before attempting to
clean.
Allow the product to sufficiently cool before handling.
Outer Surface:
Painted surfaces can be cleaned using mild household detergents or cleaners and a clean cloth. It is advisable to test cleaners on a small section of the appliance first. Harsh chemicals and / or abrasive cleaners will dull the paint and remove product decals.
- DO NOT use paint thinners or similar solvents for cleaning,
- DO NOT pour cold water directly over hot surfaces.
Cooking Grills:
After cooking and whilst the oven is still warm, wipe the grills down with a damp cloth. Season the grills before and after use. We recommend vegetable/canola oil. Whilst the grills can be used in the dishwasher we do not recommend cleaning this way. All grills have a coating to stop food from sticking. After prolonged dishwasher cleaning, this surface coating can break down causing the grills to prematurely deteriorate.
Charcoal zone/firebox:
- Always wear heat resistant gloves whilst handling any hot parts!
- To clean the inner firebox, use warm soapy water and a brush.
- 100% natural lump charcoal is great for your garden and can be disposed of naturally. Coal briquettes are not natural and should be disposed off responsibly in a waste bin.
- Never throw hot ash away!
Top air vent:
This part will naturally start to go dark due to the charcoal smoke. We recommend cleaning the inside of the vent with a small chimney brush and the outside with a damp microfiber cloth
STORAGE
When the appliance is not in use, the oven can be stored outdoors but must be under cover and covered. The 4K Premium Cover (HBCACOVERL) is perfect and will protect the product from UV and rain. We recommend cleaning the product thoroughly before storing
CAUTION
Do not leave the power cord connected to the power supply for extended periods of time (disconnect after use)
