USER INSTRUCTIONS

Before proceeding, make certain that you understand the WARNING statements in this manual. Never use any abrasive cooking tools on the cooking grill (1) surface to avoid that the surface gets damaged. Preparation before cooking – To prevent foods from sticking to the cooking grill, use a long handled brush to apply a light coat of cooking or vegetable oil before each barbecuing session.
Note: When cooking with your barbecue for the first time, the paint on the outside of the barbecue may change colour slightly as a result of high temperatures. This is normal and should be expected.

Lighting the barbecue
Place an even layer of charcoal about 3-4 cm / 1.2-1.6” deep on the charcoal tray. Carefully apply lighting gel to the charcoal. Light the charcoal with a long taper or match. When the flames die down, check that the charcoal begin to glow red. It is recommended that the charcoal be kept red hot for at least 30-40 minutes prior to cooking on the barbecue. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.

End of Cooking Session
Use a damp cloth with warm water and washing-up liquid to clean the barbecue. Do not use any abrasive materials. Using abrasive cleaners or sharp objects to clean the barbecue will damage the barbecue.
