• Never use excessive force during assembly or when tightening screws/bolts, as this may damage the product.
• When assembling parts with multiple nuts or bolts, we recommend loosely inserting them first, and then, once that particular section of the barbecue has been assembled, using light pressure to tighten all the hardware.
• Only tighten all the screws once assembly is complete, as any material shrinkage may interfere with the final assembly.

• Place the product on a stable, flat and non-slip surface.
• Position the product at Least 2 metres away from any flammable objects, such as wooden fences or garden furniture, and at least 15 cm away from any walls.

Using the barbecue

This barbecue can be used to cook meat, seafood, fish and vegetables al fresco.

WARNING: RISK OF BURNS / CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING / FIRE

• Never use the barbecue indoors or in an enclosed space, as there is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Never use any kind of ignition fluid to start or rekindle a fire.
• To avoid burns, do not touch any part of the barbecue while it is in use or cooling down. Use protective gloves, such as oven mitts, when using the unit.
• Never move the barbecue while it is hot. Allow the unit to cool before moving it.
• Do not use excessive oil or grease when barbecuing food. Too much oil or grease can produce larger-than-normal flames or even an out-of-control barbecue fire. If necessary, use a basting brush to apply a thin layer of oil or grease to food.

Lighting the fuel

• WARNING! RISK OF BURNS!
  If petrol or methylated spirits are used for ignition purposes, explosion- triggered uncontrollable heat generation may occur. Therefore, only ever use non-hazardous fuels, such as solid BBQ igniters. When using the barbecue, it must be placed on a stable and flat surface.

Note: To light the charcoal perfectly, the use of a charcoal chimney starter is recommended (not included in the package).

• Make sure the barbecue is clean.
• Place a layer of charcoal or briquettes (not included] in the base of the barbecue.
• Lay one or two fire starters (not included) on top of the charcoal bed. Light them with a match.
• Let the fire starters burn for 2 to 4 minutes. Then, piece by piece, add the charcoal or briquettes .1 n such a way as to create a pyramid.
• After approx. Within 30 minutes, a layer of white ash should have formed on the charcoal or briquettes. This indicates that the ideal cooking temperature has been reached. Evenly spread the embers.
• Position the pre-greased grill and start cooking the food.
• You can adjust the degree of heat by changing the height of the grid.

Note:

• Never place glass plates or dishes on the barbecue grill as these could crack.
• Always use barbecue utensils with long, heat-resistant handles. Do not leave utensils on the grill for long periods of time.
• Always make sure that the food is thoroughly cooked before eating it.
• Take special care when cooking food. Oil or grease may splatter when cooking on the barbecue.
• Stand a safe distance away from it.

TIPS:

• Occasionally turn the food to ensure that it cooks evenly.
• Brush meat, seafood, fish and vegetables with oil, grease or a marinade to prevent them from drying out during the cooking process and sticking to the grill.
• Cooking times may vary, depending on the thickness of the food and the temperature of the barbecue.
• When using wooden skewers, always soak them in water for 10 minutes beforehand. This will prevent the skewers from burning during the cooking process.
• A marinade helps add flavour and can also make the meat more tender.

Cleaning and maintenance

CAUTION!

• Let the product cool completely before cleaning and storing it away.
• Make sure the charcoal has fully burnt and cooled before removing the ashes and storing away the product.
• Under no circumstances should solvents, chemical or abrasive cleaning agents, wire brushes, sharp objects or scouring pads be used to clean the product, as these could permanently damage its varnish.
• Do not pour cold water on hot surfaces or directly onto the embers to extinguish them, as this could crack the varnish and damage the product. Furthermore, the generated steam could also burn you.
• Gradually use old ashes, sand or a fine spray of water to extinguish the embers.
• Clean the product before first use and after each use.
• Regularly check the barbecue to ensure that none of the screws or bolts are loose, and if necessary, tighten them.

Rust

• For areas that do not come into contact with food, treat the rust with an anti-rust agent, then paint the barbecue with heat-resistant paint or barbecue-specific paint.
• On the other hand, use a chrome cleaner on any rust found on the chrome parts. To prevent rust, coat the chrome parts with a thin layer of oil, such as vegetable oil or WD40.

Storage

• Do not leave the barbecue exposed to the elements outdoors or in a humid environment.
• We strongly recommend purchasing a cover from your local retailer to protect the barbecue, should it be left outside for any length of time. This will significantly increase the product’s service life.
• If you decide to cover over your barbecue, regularly inspect both the cover (especially the back) and the barbecue to check that they are not damp or affected by mould. Should they be damp or mouldy, wash them with hot soapy water and allow them to dry.
• Make sure that the barbecue has been fully cleaned before covering or storing it away.
• Store the barbecue in a cool, dry place, out of direct sunlight and away from dust or dirt.
