• CAUTION - DO NOT use petrol, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or
relighting. Use only firelighters complying to EN1860-3
• It is highly recommened that you use lump charcoal in your Kamado. It burns for longer and produces less ash
which can restrict the airflow.
• IMPORTANT: When opening the lid at high temperatures it is essential to lift the lid only slightly, allowing air to
enter slowly and safely, preventing any backdraft or flare-ups that may cause injury.
• ALWAYS follow the FOOD COOKING INFORMATION of this instruction manual.
DO NOT use the Kamado on decking or any other flammable surfaces such as dry grass, wood chips,
leaves or decorative bark.
• Ensure that the Kamado is positioned at least 2 metres away from flammable items.
• DO NOT use this Kamado as a furnace.
• DO NOT handle or move the Kamado whilst alight as it will be hot.
• ALWAYS USE heat resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.
• Allow the unit to cool down completely before moving or storing.
• ALWAYS keep children and pets at a safe distance from the oven when in use.

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 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 supplied tool 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.
