First Use of Your BBQ

Before the first use and after cleaning, apply a light coat of vegetable oil or cooking spray to the cooking grills. This helps to reduce interior rusting.

Ensure charcoal lighting fuel burns off completely before closing the lid (approximately 20 minutes). Failing to do so can trap fumes, leading to a flash fire or explosion when the lid is opened.

Once the coals are burning hot, close the lid and allow the BBQ to heat up for approximately 30 minutes before first use.

Remove all packaging materials before use.

Setup and Positioning

Place the BBQ on a permanent, flat, stable, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface away from flammable items.

Ensure the BBQ has at least 2m of overhead clearance and 2m of clearance from any surrounding items to prevent fire hazards.

For safety, inspect the BBQ before each use for signs of damage or wear. Replace the unit if necessary, as continued use of a damaged BBQ may result in injury or property damage.

Lighting the BBQ

Open the lid and remove the charcoal and cooking grills.

WARNING: Never use charcoal pre-treated with lighter fuel. Use only high-grade plain charcoal or a charcoal/wood mixture.

Place high-quality charcoal on the charcoal grill. If preferred, prepare a stack of loosely crumpled newspaper on top of the log grate, followed by finely split dry firewood or kindling. Use an approved charcoal lighting fuel or firelighter. If using lighting fuel, allow 2-3 minutes for it to soak into the charcoal. Store lighting fuel safely away from the BBQ.

Carefully light the charcoal (or kindling) and allow it to burn until covered with a light ash before cooking. Gradually add logs or larger untreated wood pieces to increase heat if necessary.

Spread the charcoal evenly across the BBQ and place the cooking grill back on the support brackets.

Cooking Guidelines

Arrange food in a single layer on the cooking grill, leaving space between each piece to ensure even heat circulation.

Close the lid and cook as needed.

Use a meat thermometer to confirm that food is fully cooked before removing it from the BBQ. Undercooked meat can cause foodborne illness.

Once cooking is complete, close the lid and air vents to extinguish the charcoal by starving it of oxygen. Allow the BBQ to cool completely before removing the charcoal grill and sweeping away the ash.

Food Safety Information

Wash hands thoroughly before and after handling uncooked meat and before eating.

Keep raw meat separate from cooked meat and other foods to avoid cross-contamination.

Ensure all grill surfaces and utensils are clean and free of old food residues before cooking.

DO NOT use the same utensils for raw and cooked foods.

Always ensure meat is cooked thoroughly. Check that meat juices are clear and free of pink or red coloration before eating.

To reduce the risk of undercooked meat, cut open pieces to check that they are cooked through.

Pre-cooking large pieces of meat and joints is recommended before finishing them on the BBQ.

After cooking, clean all cooking surfaces, grills, and utensils thoroughly.

Only begin cooking when charcoal has a coating of ash to ensure safe grilling conditions.

Extinguishing the BBQ

Stop adding fuel and allow the fire to die naturally; you can quicken the process by closing the lid and any air vents to cut off oxygen supply.

CAUTION: Do not use water, as it may damage the BBQ.

Storage and Maintenance

Once completely cooled, cover the BBQ with a waterproof cover when not in use.

To prolong the life of the BBQ, do not leave it outside unprotected from the weather. Store it in a garage or sheltered area when not in use.

Remove loose paint and rust as needed with a wire brush, and repaint using high-temperature paint.

Surface rust is normal when the BBQ is stored outdoors. To minimize rusting, rub the exterior with an oily rag after each use.
