INSTRUCTIONS FOR CARE AND USE

STORAGE

When not in use, and if stored outside, cover the Kamado once completely cooled with the
weatherproof cover.

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 type 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 to scrape off the
carbon remnants before the next use.

To clean the 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 twice a year or more if needed.

Tighten the screws and nuts on bands and hinge once every month.

To soak the side shelves in brine for 10 min and oil the side shelves before using to prevent
mold and split.
LIGHTING, USAGE & CARE INFORMATION

Ensure the Kamado is positioned on a stable, 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 of
500mm clearance from other surrounding items.

To start a fire, place charcoal with an organic firelighter cube on the charcoal plate. (7) in
the base of the Kamado. Then place a few lumps of charcoal over the top of the firelighter.

DO NOT use petrol, white spirits, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting
or relighting.

Open the bottom vent and light the firelighter 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.

Close the lid and fully open the top and bottom vents.

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 lit ONLY use heat resistant gloves when handling hot ceramics or cooking surfaces.

