STORAGE
• When not in use, and if stored outside, cover the Kamado once completely cooled with a 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 ash tool (not supplied) 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.
MAINTENANCE
• Tighten the bands and oil the hinge 2 times a year or more if needed.
LIGHTING, USAGE AND CARE INFORMATION
• Ensure the Kamado is positioned on a permanent, flat, level, heat resistant non-flammable surface away
from flammable items.
• Ensure the Kamado has a minimum of 2m overhead clearance and has a minimum 2m clearance from
other surrounding items.
• To start a fire place rolled up
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. Once it has
caught, leave the bottom vent and lid open for about 10 minutes to build a small bed of hot embers.
• Allow the charcoal to heat up and be kept red hot for at least 30 minutes prior to the first cooking on the
kamado. DO NOT cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
• It is recommended you don’t stoke or turn the coals once they are alight. This allows the charcoals to burn
more uniformly and efficiently.
• Once alight ONLY use heat resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.
• See below for cooking instuctions depending on temperature and duration.
LOW TEMPERATURE COOKING GUIDE
