After use, the surface of your ceramic barbecue may show lines of cracks. However, this does
not mean that the ceramic is cracked. This is known as "crazing" and is caused by a differ-
ence in the coefficient of expansion between the glaze and the clay. The crazing pattern has
a spider web appearance and is different from a crack in that it cannot be felt on the surface
unless a fingernail is used to detect it. However, it may be more apparent when the surface
is dusty or magnified. Although this "crazing" may appear to be an imperfection, it does not
affect the performance or lifespan of your ceramic barbecue, therefore it cannot be claimed
as a warranty issue. In fact, the crazing process increases the resistance of the unit.
To improve its use, follow the following tips:
• Wooden side shelves should be covered when not in use and may require refinishing from
time to time.
• Regularly check that all band assist spring bolts are tight and secure.
• Do not remove container from fire. The purpose of the fire bowl is to hold the charcoal and
it will continue to work even if it is cracked.
