or an area with caustic fumes or liquids (such as a domestic pool), as these chemicals
can cause the appliance materials to deteriorate (and void the warranty). Regular
cleaning and covering with an Everdure by Heston Blumenthal HUB
can help to reduce this.
20. Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used. Whilst the grill handles are cool
to touch, please be aware that the grill surface will be hot - handle with care. Do not
touch metal parts of barbeque until it has completely cooled to avoid burns, unless you
are wearing protective gloves.
21. Burning of solid fuels produces poisonous gases, which can kill! Therefore, never use
this appliance indoors or bring indoors if not totally extinguished.
22. Do not use solid fuels impregnated with fire accelerants or use any other type of
accelerant on this appliance. This appliance is designed for electrical charcoal ignition
only. Using any accelerant could cause serious property damage or personal injury.
WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting! Do not use firelighters
for lighting or re-lighting!
23. During ignition, follow the recommended charcoal area placement guide. Once the
initial batch of charcoal has ignited, it can be mixed in with fresh charcoal and spread
throughout the charcoal chamber. Overloading the charcoal chamber can result in
damage to the appliance and food – it is recommended that the height of the charcoal
never passes the top level of the charcoal chamber. The barbeque shall be heated up
and the fuel kept red hot for at least 30 mins prior to the first cooking. The maximum
amount of the fuel to be used shall not exceed 1.8 kg. For more information on
charcoal placement, see further on in the instruction manual and the Quick User Guide.
24. The ignition timer is set to 7 minutes. Whilst this is in operation, the element will run,
heating and igniting the charcoal above it. Once the timer has finished, do not start
again as the heat from the element will interfere with the natural progression of the
charcoal ashing. Note: If the combined heat from the charcoal and element get too
high, an over-temp switch will disable the element (the timer will continue to operate
until the 7 minutes have elapsed).
25. Always allow the solid fuel to burn out naturally after cooking. Do not use any liquids
to douse the charcoal whilst inside the barbeque. Do not move the appliance while
the coals are still burning as hot ash, coal particles, unburned fuel and hot cooking fats
& oils could spill and accessible parts may be very hot. The barbeque should not be
moved by lifting.
26. Do not use volcanic rock or any type of non-combustible product in the charcoal
chamber. If in doubt on what fuels can be used, check the Everdure by Heston
TM
barbeque cover
Blumenthal website or contact the Service Department.
27. Solid fuels differ widely in burning time, heat, size and combustion. Always be aware
of your surroundings and potential fire hazards caused by sparks or spitting fuels.
Never dispose of solid fuels or hot ashes in areas where they can be trodden on or
be a fire hazard. Never dispose of unburned solid fuels or ash until it has completely
extinguished. The barbeque must be installed on a secure level base prior to use. We
recommend using 100% natural lump charcoal in this appliance.
28. Always check with your local/state authorities before using this appliance for any
fire restrictions regarding the use of an outdoor barbeque (due to local weather
conditions).
29. When using solid fuels, take care that the surrounding environment is clear of
combustible materials. Do not cook under overhanging buildings or close branches
of trees. Note that solid fuels will produce varying amounts of smoke – take this into
consideration when setting up the barbeque.
30. If you have any queries regarding these instructions, contact your local dealer.
