IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR BARBECUE.

WARNING

• Only use this barbecue on a hard, level, non-combustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the barbecue.
  Never use it on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

• DO NOT use barbecue without a charcoal ashtray in place. DO NOT attempt to remove the charcoal ashtray while the barbecue contains hot coals.

• Proper clearance of 3m between the barbecue and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or construction should be maintained at all times when the barbecue is in use. Do not place a barbecue under a roof overhang or another enclosed area. Not adhering to these clearances will prevent proper ventilation and may increase the risk of fire and/or property damage, which could also result in personal injury.

• For outdoor use only. Do not operate a barbecue indoors or in an enclosed area.

• For household use only. Do not use this barbecue for other than its intended purpose.

• We recommend the use of a Charcoal Chimney Starter to avoid the dangers associated with charcoal lighting fluid. If you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting fluid approved for lighting charcoal. Carefully read the manufacturer’s warnings and instructions on the charcoal lighting fluid and charcoal prior to the use of their product. Store charcoal lighting fluid safely away from the barbecue.

• When using charcoal lighting fluid, allow the charcoal to burn for approximately 20 minutes. This will allow charcoal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in the barbecue and may result in a flash fire or explosion.

• Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/ wood mixture.

• Do not use gasoline, kerosene, or alcohol for lighting charcoal. Use of any of these or similar products could cause an explosion possibly leading to severe bodily injury.

• Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashbacks may occur causing severe burns.

• Place barbecue in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with the unit. Close supervision is necessary when a barbecue is in use.

• Do not leave the barbecue unattended when in use.

• Do not store or use barbecue near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases, or where flammable vapors may be present.

• Barbecue is hot when in use.
  To Avoid Burns:

• DO NOT attempt to move the barbecue.

• Wear protective gloves or oven mitts.

• DO NOT touch any hot barbecue surfaces.

• DO NOT wear loose clothing or allow hair to come in contact with barbecue.

• When grilling, grease from meat may drip onto the charcoal and cause a grease fire. Do not use water to extinguish grease fires.

• Use caution since flames can flare up when fresh air suddenly comes in contact with fire.

• Use caution when assembling and operating your barbecue to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts. Use caution when reaching into or under the barbecue.

• In windy weather, place the barbecue in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

• Never leave coals and ashes in barbecue unattended. Before the barbecue can be left unattended, remaining coals and ashes must be removed from the barbecue.
  Use caution to protect yourself and your property. Carefully place the remaining coals and ashes in a non-combustible metal container and saturate completely with water. Allow coals and water to remain in the metal container 24hours prior to disposing.

• Extinguished coals and ashes should be placed at a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.

• With a garden hose, completely wet the surface beneath and around barbecue to extinguish any coals or ashes which may have fallen during the cooking or cleaning process.

• After each use, clean the barbecue thoroughly. Cover the barbecue to protect it from excessive rusting.

• Use caution when lifting or moving barbecue to prevent strains and back injuries.

• We advise that a fire extinguisher is on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine the proper size and type of fire extinguisher.

• Store the barbecue out of reach of children and in a dry location when not in use.

• Properly dispose of all packaging material.

Note: Abrasive cleaners will damage this product. Never use oven cleaner to clean any part of the barbecue.

Cleaning Surfaces

1. Wipe surfaces clean with mild dishwashing detergent or baking soda.
2. For stubborn surfaces use a citrus-based degreaser and a nylon scrubbing brush.
3. Rinse clean with water.

COOkING

Cooking directly over hot coals, ideal for searing in juices and grilling food requiring less than 25 minutes of grilling time, such as steaks, hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken parts, vegetables, and fruit.

1. Follow lighting instructions.

2. While wearing protective gloves, carefully spread hot coals evenly across the charcoal grid with a long handle tool.

3. While wearing protective gloves replace the cooking grid.
   Note: If additional briquettes are needed, remove food from the cooking grid and while wearing protective gloves remove the cooking grid and place additional briquettes without disturbing the hot coals. Carefully replace the cooking grid and food.

4. When cooking is finished allow the charcoal to burn out by closing the lid and all vents. Except in the case of an emergency, do NOT pour water on hot coals.

Tips for Better Cooking & Longer Barbecue Life

1. To reduce flare-up keep barbecue clean, use lean cuts of meat (or trim fat), and avoid cooking at very high temperatures.
2. Place delicate foods like fish and vegetables in aluminum foil pouches.
3. To avoid losing natural juices, use long-handled tongs or spatulas instead of forks and turn foods over just once during cooking.
4. Clean the cooking rack after every use with a quality grill brush designed for your rack material. Wear protective gloves and gently remove the build-up while the rack is hot.
5. After every use, allow the barbecue to cool.
   Then clean the cooking rack with a light coat of cooking oil, clean out all ashes, wipe outside surfaces with a suitable kitchen cleaner and protect surfaces with a quality cover that properly fits your barbecue.

ROTISSERIE COOkING

moist, flavourful, and attractive, as the turning food self bastes. Although the rotisserie is best for larger pieces of meat or poultry, nearly anything can be used if prepared properly.
Balancing the Food
The item that requires the most attention in rotisserie cooking is balancing the food. The rotisserie must turn evenly otherwise the stopping and starting action will cause the food to cook unevenly and possibly burn the heavier side.
The easiest foods to balance are those of uniform shape and texture. To test if the food is balanced correctly when secured, place the ends of the rotisserie skewer loosely in the palms of your hands. If there is no tendency to roll, give the spit a quarter turn. If it’s still stable give it a final quarter turn. It should rest without turning in each of these positions. It can then be attached to the barbecue.
Poultry
When using poultry, truss the birds tightly so that wings and drumsticks are close to the body of the bird. The cavity of the bird may be stuffed prior to this if you wish. Pull the neck skin down and use a small skewer to fix the back of the bird. Push the rotisserie skewer through lengthwise, catching the bird in the fork of the wishbone. Center the bird and tighten with the holding prongs. Test the balance as described above.

Rolled Meat
A rolled piece of meat only requires the rotisserie skewer to be inserted through the center of the length of meat and then secured and balanced.
Unboned Meat
For meats that are unboned, it is best to secure the rotisserie skewer diagonally through the meaty sections.
When to Use Foil
If protruding bones or wings brown too quickly cover with pieces of foil.
Cooking Times
This will vary according to the type and weight of the food you are cooking. Insert a meat thermometer into the center of the meat (avoiding bone) which will provide a temperature guide for you.
The cooking times on a rotisserie will be approximately the same as for oven cooking.
