Create KAMADO Manuel D'utilisation page 8

• The Kamado cleans itself. Heat it at 260°C for 30 minutes and it will burn off all food and
residue.
• 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 liquid used which could cause the Kamado to
crack. If the soot is excessive, use a wire brush or the ash tool to scrape off any carbon
residue before next use.
• To clean the grills, use a non-abrasive cleaner after the unit is completely cool.
• To clean the outer surface, wait for the Kamado to cool down and use a damp cloth with a
mild detergent.
• Make sure the Kamado is placed on a permanent, flat, level, heat resistant and non-flam-
mable surface, away from flammable objects.
• Make sure the Kamado has a minimum height distance of 2 meters from the top and a min-
imum distance of 2 meters from other surrounding objects.
• To start the fire, place rolled newspaper with a few starter cubes or solid fire pellets on the
charcoal plate. Then place 2-3 handfuls of the charcoal on top of the newspaper. Maximum
amount of charcoal is 0.4 kg.
• Do not use gasoline, white spirit, lighter fluid, alcohol, or other similar chemicals to light
charcoal.
• Open the bottom vent and light the newspaper using a long wick lighter or safety
matches. Once lit, leave bottom vent and lid open for about 10 minutes to create a small
layer of hot coals.
• Allow the charcoal to heat up and stay red hot for at least 30 minutes before cooking on the
Kamado for the first time. Do not cook before the fuel has a layer of ash.
• It is recommended not to fan or turn the coals once they are lit. This allows the coals to burn
more evenly and efficiently.
• Once lit, wear heat resistant gloves when handling hot ceramic or cooking surfaces.
