DEVICE OVERVIEW AND SCOPE OF DELIVERY

ASSEMBLY

Step 1
Attach the holder (2) to both rings (1). Fasten the bracket with 8 screws and 8 nuts (B).
Step 2
Attach the other two brackets in the same way. Follow the picture on the right.

Step 3
Lift the lid from the furnace and insert the fire bowl (5), the charcoal plate (4) and the grill grate (3) into the furnace (see picture below). Then put the lid back on.

Step 4
Align the holes of the handle with the pre-installed screws on the lid and secure the handle with 4 nuts. Proceed in the same way with the other handle.

Step 5
Place the furnace on the stand so that the bottom vent faces forward and you can easily open and close it.

Once the grill is securely on the stand, level it with a spirit level to make sure the grill surface is level. You are now ready to use the grill. Read the operating instructions carefully before doing so.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Curing the Kamado

To start a fire place rolled up newspaper with some lighter cubes or solid firelighters on the charcoal plate in the base of the Kamado. Then place 2 or 3 handfuls of lump charcoal over the top of the newspaper.
Do not use petrol, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
Open the bottom vent and light the newpaper using a long nosed lighter or safety matches.
Do not overload the unit with fuel – if the fire is too intense this could damage the Kamado.
Leave until all the fuel is used and extinguished.
If the first burns are too high it could damage the felt gasket seal before it has had the chance to mature properly.
After first use inspect all fasteners for tightness. The metal band connecting your lid to the base will expand from the heat and this could become loose. It is recommended you check and if neccessary tighten the band with a spanner.
You can now use your Kamado as normal.

Extinguishing

To extinguish unit – stop adding fuel and close all the vents and the lid to allow the fire to die natuarally.
DO NOT use water to extinguish the charcoals as this could damage the ceramic Kamado.

Storage

When not in use, and if stored outside, cover the Kamado once completely cooled with a suitable rain cover.
The chrome plated cooking grill is NOT dishwasher safe; use a mild detergent with warm water.
When using the Kamado push down on both of the locking wheels to stop the unit moving about during use.
It is recommended the Kamado be stored under cover in a garage or shed over winter for complete protection.

Cleaning

The Kamado is self cleaning. Heat it up to 260ºC for 30 minutes and it will scorch off all of the food and debris.
DO NOT use water or any other types of cleaning product to clean the inside of your Kamado. The walls are porous and will absorb any fluids used, this could cause the Kamado to crack. If the soot becomes excessive then use a wire brush or the ash tool (not supplied) to scrape off the carbon remnants before the next use.
To clean the grills and grates use a non-abrasive cleaner once the unit has fully cooled.
To clean the outer surface wait until the Kamado is cool and use a damp cloth with a mild detergent.

Maintenance

Tighten the bands and oil the hinge 2 times a year or more if needed.

Lighting, Usage and Care Information

Ensure the Kamado is positioned on a permanent, flat, level, heat resistant nonflammable surface away from flammable items.
Ensure the Kamado has a minimum of 2m overhead clearance and has a minimum 2m clearance from other surrounding items.
To start a fire place rolled up newspaper with some lighter cubes or solid firelighters on the charcoal plate (7) in the base of the Kamado. Then place 2 or 3 handfuls of lump charcoal over the top of the newspaper.
Do not use petrol, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
Open the bottom vent and light the newpaper using a long nosed lighter or safety matches. Once it has caught, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about 10 minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.
Allow the charcoal to heat up and be kept red hot for at least 30 minutes prior tothe first cooking on the kamado. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
It is recommended you don’t stoke or turn the coals once they are alight. This allows the charcoals to burn more uniformly and efficiently.
Once alight only use heat resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.

Please read and follow this advice when cooking on your Kamado.
Always wash your hands before and after handling uncooked meat and before eating.
Always keep raw meat away from cooked meat and other foods.
Before cooking ensure grill surfaces and tools are clean and free of old food residues.
Do not use the same utensils to handle cooked and uncooked foods.
Ensure all meat is cooked thoroughly before eating.
CAUTION – eating raw or under cooked meat can cause food poisoning (e.g. bacteria strains such as E.coli).
To reduce the risk of under cooked meat cut open to ensure it is cooked all the way through.
CAUTION – if the meat has been cooked sufficiently the meat juices should be clear and there should be no traces of pink/red juice or meat colouring.
Pre-cooking larger pieces of meat and joints is recommended before finally cooking on your grill.
After cooking on your Kamado always clean the grill cooking surfaces and utensils.

Refuelling

With the vents closed, the Kamado stays at a high temperature for several hours. If you require a longer cooking time (e.g when roasting a whole joint or slow smoking), it may be necessary to add more charcoal. Just add some additional charcoal and continue as above.
