IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT:
Read the safety precautions of this booklet carefully before removing the barbeque from its carton.

This charcoal barbeque is intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Do not use indoors!
For your safety and enjoyment, read all operating instructions before using this appliance.
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 shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision. Unsupervised children or pets should not be near a barbeque while cooking or during warm up or cool down. Ensure children or pets are kept a distance well away from the barbeque whilst it is in use. WARNING! Keep children and pets away.
Do not immerse the barbeque in water (only removable grills, charcoal chamber & grid).
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 raised bench or the ground.
Ensure the surface is level, large enough and strong enough to support the barbeque and will withstand temperatures of 80°C above ambient temperature. It’s highly recommended to use a heat resistant barrier such as a ceramic tile, in order to avoid
surface damage.
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 case of fat fire, 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 inner chassis and charcoal chamber. 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. All combustible materials must be kept more than 250mm from the sides and rear of the barbeque and more than 1500mm above the cooking surface of the barbeque. This appliance is not meant to be built-in.
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 when not in use can help can help to reduce this.
Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used. Whilst the barbeque handles are cool to touch, please be aware that the sides of the barbeque may be hot – handle with care.
Charcoal and coal products produce carbon monoxide when burned. When the appliance is being used with solid fuels, always keep the appliance in a well ventilated area to prevent the gasses produced from building up.
Do not use solid fuels impregnated with fire accelerants or use any other type of accelerant on this appliance. Using any accelerant could cause serious property damage or personal injury. WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting! Only use firelighters complying to EN 1860-3!
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 – it is recommended that the height of the charcoal never passes the top level of the charcoal chamber. For more information on charcoal placement, see further on in the instruction manual and the Quick User Guide.
WARNING! This barbeque will become very hot, do not move it during operation.
Always allow the solid fuel to burn out naturally after cooking. Do not use any liquids to douse the charcoal inside the barbeque. 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 using the side handles.
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 (see everdurebyheston.com).
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.
The barbecue shall be heated up and the fuel kept red hot for at least 30 min prior to the first cooking.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and efficient cooking. Try to keep the barbeque sheltered from strong winds as this will drastically alter cooking efficiency.
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 the supporting surface can withstand the heat.
WARNING! This barbeque will become very hot during operation. If you need to move it during operation, we recommend taking extreme care and grab by the handles only. Never grab the barbeque by the body or sides when in use.
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 or charcoal briquettes. 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 as they may cause damage to the appliance or injury. We recommend using 100% natural lump charcoal in this appliance (see everdurebyheston.com).
When igniting the charcoal, pile the charcoal up over the charcoal grid (this is the square wire grid in the centre of the charcoal chamber) so that when levelled out the volume does not exceed the charcoal chamber and should not exceed 0.5Kg at any time.
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 to add additional charcoal. The grill should be positioned so that it sits on the four grill support pins. 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. After use, allow the grill to cool and then clean. After cleaning, coat with a little cooking oil to minimise any rusting. Note – When adjusting the open grill while cooking (or still hot), use metal tongs or similar tools to hold the grill.

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 barbeque chassis

WARNING Overloading the charcoal tray may result in damage to the product paint and surface area.
Do not fill charcoal past the top of this tray.
WARNING Underside of the barbeque must be kept clear at all times!
If the underside of this barbeque is blocked (with grass, sand or similar) hot air cannot escape, resulting in heat damage to the product and/or surface area.
WARNING It is recommended that, while in use, the appliance is positioned on top of a heat-resistant barrier, such as a ceramic tile, in order to avoid surface damage. Placing the appliance on top of a non-heat resistant surface may cause damage to both the surface and appliance and such resulting damage is not covered by warranty

IGNITION PROCEDURE

READ ALL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE IGNITING THE CHARCOAL

LIGHTING THE BARBEQUE USING FIRELIGHTERS
The CUBE™ Roasting Hood is designed to be used with charcoal and ignited with firelighters. First pile the charcoal over the charcoal grid around the firelighters (follow the manufacturer’s recommended set-up and ignition). 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). We recommend the use of Eco firelighters where available. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash. See the Quick User Guide for more information.

CLEANING & STORAGE

EXTERNAL CLEANING
Before cleaning the barbeque exterior ensure the appliance has cooled and is safe to touch. 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.
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 cook (take care that it is fully extinguished and cold). After cleaning the charcoal chamber, remove and clean any ash or oil that may have dropped into the barbeque chassis.
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, store in a dry location. Do not store in an area exposed to the weather. If the barbeque is stored outdoors, it must be under cover and covered, out of the weather. Ensure the cooking surface is clean before storing away.

MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that, at the commencement of each barbeque season, the following maintenance be conducted:

BARBEQUE

Wipe over the outer areas of the barbeque with a clean cloth.
Check all oils and ash has been cleaned from the charcoal chamber.
Check all fasteners for tightness and re tighten where necessary to ensure rigidity of the structure.

Wear and tear to this barbeque can be reduced by covering and storing out of the weather when not in use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Solid fuel is not igniting or taking longer than expected to ignite:

Firelighters are not working| Check firelighters light. Replace if not working. Check manufacturer’s instructions. Adjust charcoal to allow more ventilation.
---|---
Poor type of solid fuel used| Fuel may be wrong size (parts too large). Break up larger parts so they can ignite easier. Purchase a different type of charcoal and try. We
recommend using 100% natural lump charcoal in this appliance (see everdurebyheston.com).
Solid fuel is damp| Solid fuels can become damp over time, which retards ignition. Store in a dryer place & repurchase fresh solid fuel.
Solid fuel incorrectly distributed in charcoal chamber| Follow the instructions on placing the solid fuel in the charcoal chamber. If charcoal has compacted down tight, remove some solid fuel so air
can flow freely through and assist in ignition. If too little fuel is used, the heat and ignition may not pass as fast between separate pieces.
Barbeque not cleaned| Check ash has not collected inside chassis, or blocked the charcoal grid or chamber.
Weather conditions and ambient temperature| Cold, windy and wet conditions will affect the ignition and combustion process. Move barbeque to a more suitable location.
