INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE CHARCOAL KETTLE BARBECUE
TIPS AND TRICKS
•
Always leave a slight space between pieces of meat.
•
Closing the lid allows food to be browned evenly on all sides, while ensuring the juices stay in the meat.
•
For extra peace of mind when cooking larger joints of meat, we recommend using the OUTDOORCHEF GOURMET CHECK digital meat
thermometer to ensure perfect results.
•
For optimal flash-grilling, we recommend the OUTDOORCHEF CAST-IRON TWO-PART BARBECUE GRID.
•
Do not place the hot barbecue lid on grassy surfaces. In models without a lid hinge or lid holder, use the hook on the inside of the lid to hang
it from the edge of the lower half of the barbecue kettle.
•
The position of the ventilation openings at the bottom is illustrated clearly by an indicator on the ash tray. CAUTION: The ventilation slide on
the lid must always be left open when grilling, however (see also INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE CHARCOAL KETTLE BARBECUE)
•
OUTDOORCHEF recommends closing the lid while barbecuing and using the ventilation slot to adjust the temperature.
Air circulation inside the barbecue reduces the grilling time by up to one third.
•
Always wear barbecue gloves when barbecuing and adjusting the ventilation openings. Instead of using a fork to turn food on the barbecue,
use good quality, sufficiently long meat tongs to avoid puncturing the meat and make sure it stays juicy.
•
The right accessories will make your OUTDOORCHEF even more fun. Whether grilling, cooking or baking: give free rein to your creativity
and flair for experimentation.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
•
To extinguish the charcoal after your barbecue, put the lid on the barbecue and close all ventilation openings. Do not use water.
•
Always remove all ash residues before using the barbecue again.
•
Clean the grids and grates using a barbecue brush with brass bristles (not steel bristles). Do not use any sharp objects or aggressive clean-
ing products. Wash the drip pan in soapy water or clean it using the OUTDOORCHEF BARBECUE CLEANER.
•
To help you enjoy your barbecue for as long as possible, we recommend the following:
•
Once your barbecue has cooled down completely, protect it from the effects of the weather with a suitable OUTDOORCHEF cover.
Remove the cover after any rain in order to prevent condensation build-up. Covers can be purchased from your barbecue retailer.
USING THE OUTDOORCHEF BARBECUE CLEANER
IMPORTANT: the barbecue must not be in operation while using the OUTDOORCHEF BARBECUE CLEANER. Wear gloves to protect your
hands and, if possible, glasses to shield your eyes. Spray the barbecue or accessories thoroughly while they are still slightly warm and leave
the product to work for 15-30 minutes. Spray stained surfaces again, rinse thoroughly with water and leave to dry.
WARNING: Do not use the OUTDOORCHEF Barbecue Cleaner on powder-coated surfaces.
1. Distribute the charcoal over the entire charcoal grate and then place the barbecue grid
on the 3 holders.
2. Place the food to be grilled on the grid.
3. Always monitor the temperature of your barbecue before adding more charcoal. Add any
additional quantities carefully to keep the increase in temperature under control.
To protect the food to be grilled and the barbecue itself, do not allow the barbecue to
reach temperatures in excess of 300°C (626°F). Excessive temperatures may deform
parts of the barbecue.
