Safety and Care Advice
Care and Maintenance
To make it easier to clean your Charcoal BBQ after use, line the firebowl with aluminium cooking
•
foil, shiney side up. Remember to leave ventilation holes clear by piercing the foil where necessary.
This process will lengthen the life of your Charcoal BBQ.
Charcoal is available in lump wood from (large irregular pieces) and as briquettes (uniformly sized
•
pieces). Please use the charcoal complying to EN1860-2.
It is not advisable to completely fill the firebowl as the BBQ may become far too hot to cook
•
successfully. As a guide a 3kg bag of charcoal in a 43cm (17") diameter BBQ should last for at least
2 full BBQ fires.
If the fires flares up due to dripping fat then douse the flames lightly with a fine water spray.
•
When you have finished using the Charcoal BBQ, never pour cold water directly on the coals to
•
extinguish them as this may damage your Charcoal BBQ. Use old cinder, sand or a fine water
spray.
Empty the bottom bowl of ashes when they are completely cold.
•
To clean your Charcoal BBQ, soak the cooking grill and tools in hot soapy water as soon as
•
possible after use. Dry thoroughly and store in a dry place. Do not leave your Charcoal BBQ outside
unprotected.
Food Safety
Thoroughly defrost frozen meat and poultry in the refrigerator before cooking. Keep raw meat and
•
poultry separate from cooked food.
Ensure that the grill is thoroughly cleaned before cooking and lighting the barbecue.
•
Always wash hands after handling raw meat and poultry before handling any ready to eat food.
•
Wipe and disinfect surfaces that have been in contact with raw meat and poultry.
•
When barbecuing meat and poultry, make sure the barbecue is really hot. Place the larger, thicker
•
portions furthest away from the most intense heat to ensure thorough cooking without burning and turn
regularly.
Use separate utensils for handling raw meat or poultry and cooked food on the barbecue, or wash them
•
thoroughly between use.
To check whether meat, particularly poultry, is cooked, pierce the flesh with a skewer or fork: the juices
•
should run clear. Ensure the product is piping hot throughout.
Attention! This BBQ will become very hot do not move it during operation. Do NOT use indoors.
"Warning! Keep children and pets away!"
"Caution! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting! Use only firelighters complying to
EN 1860-3"
