Assembly, Operation & Maintenance Instructions
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
Read the safety precautions of this booklet carefully before removing the barbeque
from its carton or connecting the barbeque to the power supply.
1. This electric ignition charcoal barbeque and pedestal set are intended for OUTDOOR
USE ONLY. Do not use indoors. Use the electric ignition barbeque and stand in a well-
ventilated area.
2. For your safety and enjoyment, read all operating instructions before using this
appliance. Do not use the barbeque unless it’s completely assembled and all parts are
securely fastened and tightened.
3. In certain circumstances electrical appliances may be a health hazard. Unplug the
appliance before cleaning or carrying out maintenance. When the appliance is not in use,
unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet and retract the power chord fully.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not
play with the appliance.
5. Ensure that all electrical connections are secure, dry and protected from moisture before
operating this appliance. Do not disconnect the appliance with wet hands and do not
disconnect the power cord with extreme force.
6. Always fully extend the retractable power cord when in use (leaving the power cord fully
or partially retracted can cause the cord to overheat & become damaged). Take care
not to exert undue force on the cord and its assembly when adjusting the length. If use
of an extension power lead cannot be avoided, always use good quality (low resistance)
leads that are suitable for the environment where cooking is taking place, and use the
shortest length possible to reduce any power lost to the appliance.
7. Do not use this appliance with a programmer, timer or any other device that switches
the appliance on automatically, since a re risk exists if the appliance is covered or
positioned incorrectly.
8. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, an authorised
service centre or similarly qualied persons to avoid a hazard.
9. Do not immerse the barbeque in water (only removable grills, charcoal grids and
rotisserie parts can be immersed).
10. As charcoal can smoulder for an extended period of time, take care when removing ash
after cooking. It is recommended that a non-combustible container (metal or ceramic)
be used to contain any ash before being doused in water and disposed of correctly.
11. This barbeque has been designed to be used either on a FUSIONTM pedestal, a raised
bench or the ground. When using a raised surface (table etc.) or the ground, ensure
the surface is level, large enough and strong enough to support the barbeque and will
withstand temperatures of 176°F (80°C) above ambient temperature. When using the
pedestal, ensure that your barbeque is in a level position and the barbeque is positioned
fully on the pedestal. The barbeque has to be installed on a secure level base prior to
use.
12. People with ammable clothing such as nylon etc. should keep well away from the
barbeque when it is operating.
13. Do not use this appliance for any purpose other than what it is intended for.
14. In the event of a oil or grease re do not attempt to extinguish with water.
Immediately call the re department. A Type BC or ABC re extinguisher may, in some
circumstances contain the re, regular cleaning after use should reduce the build-up of
fat and food residues which are combustible and can result in a fat re. Fat res can
be prevented with diligence in cleaning fats and oil from the heat shield and bowl
around the electrical element and the inner chassis. Do not allow ash to build up
inside the chassis – clean up after every use. For more information on controlling fat
res see the Quick User Guide.
15. Ensure that the product has adequate clearance from combustible materials. The
appliance is designed so that heat will not aect the pedestal. Do not use within 1ft
(250 mm) of any ammable structure or under any combustible surface.
16. Keep your barbeque protected against strong wind where possible (the lid can be used
as a rear wind shield by hanging it from the bracket at the rear of the appliance). As
charcoal cooking can vary in time and intensity, it is recommended that the barbeque
not be left for more than 5 minutes at a time while cooking.
17. We recommend that you regularly maintain your barbeque and keep it in good condition.
This can be achieved by following the cleaning and maintenance suggestions in this
booklet. Failure to follow these instructions will void your warranty.
18. This appliance is not suitable for mounting in a movable vehicle (boat, trailer etc).
19. Do not use or store this appliance in areas of high salt content (a marine environment)
Assembly, Operation & Maintenance Instructions

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 barbeque cover can help
to reduce this.
20. Caution: Accessible parts may become hot when used. 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 re 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 relighters
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 – iIts recommended that the charcoal fuel is fully
ashed before you commence cooking.
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 nished, 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. 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 only be lifted by the base at either side. If
a pedestal is available, move the barbeque and pedestal separately.
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
Blumenthal website or contact the Service Department.
27. Solid fuels dier widely in burning time, heat, size and combustion. Always be aware of
your surroundings and potential re 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 re
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 re
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.
Do not cook or store this appliance where liquids can enter the inner section of the
appliance (rain, near sprinklers etc.). If the internal section does get wet, unplug the
appliance from the electrical socket, allow to cool and move to a protected area. Fully dry
out before any further use.
This appliance is not intended for commercial use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and ecient cooking. Set up the
barbeque in a safe place. Try to keep the barbeque sheltered from strong winds as this
will drastically alter cooking eciency. If this is unavoidable, position the length of the
barbeque to be parallel in the direction of the wind. Keep the barbeque level. Check
frequently that the charcoal stays ignited (this does not necessarily mean a ame is
visible), and that are ups are not occurring. Make sure the minimum distances of the
barbeque to any wall or combustible surface are met, and that when not using the
pedestal, the supporting surface can withstand the heat. When using the pedestal, take
care that the ground is level and no combustible material is close by.
WARNING! This barbeque will become very hot, do not move during operation. For
more specic information (including set-up illustrations and diagrams) and up to
date cooking instructions, please visit the Everdure by Heston Blumenthal website at
www.everdurebyheston.com.
FUEL TYPE AND CONSUMPTION
This barbeque is designed to cook with lump charcoal. The heat produced and
consumption time may vary dramatically depending on the type of fuel used, and the
prevailing weather conditions. Please see the Quick User Guide for more information on
charcoal ignition and cooking. Do not use accelerants for fuel ignition or fuels impregnated
with accelerants in this appliance as they may cause damage to the appliance or injury.
Place enough charcoal into the fuel compartment according to the instruction manual.
Light the charcoal using the FAST FLAME IGNITION SYSTEMTM. The charcoal will then
burn for a period with ames. When burning is established, spread the fuel evenly. Make
sure that the cooking grid is fully located into the grill supports, then you can enjoy your
barbequing. Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
After cooking, the remaining charcoal should be allowed to burn o naturally (this should be
taken into account when planning the cooking times). Once nished, the ash and remaining
fuel should be removed and placed into a non-ammable container (a metal bucket is ideal), a
small amount of water added (just in case there is still any heat left in the waste) and disposed
of safely as per local council rules. Note that protection from heat should always be used.
CHROME OPEN GRILL
The cooking surface for this barbeque is a chromed open grill, which can be fully removed
or levered up from either side to add additional charcoal. The grill should be positioned
so that the hinges are facing down (they will allocate in two notches at the front and
rear of the charcoal chamber). Take care that food cooked is wider than the gaps in the
grill or positioned lengthways so it doesn’t fall through. Over time, the surface of the
grill will discolour with the heat of the fuel (this is a normal process and not a fault). It is
recommended that the grill is placed on the barbeque after the charcoal has ignited and
any adjustment on the fuel distribution has been done. If needed please remove the grills
for greater clearance. After use, allow the grill to cool and then clean. After cleaning, coat
with a little cooking oil to minimise any rusting.
ROTISCOPE TECHNOLOGY™
Rotiscope TechnologyTM is the patent pending built-in rotisserie system of the barbeque.
The maximum rated capacity of the motor is 15kg. Please check the dimensions of the
meat are suitable for the product before purchasing.
The rotisserie rod and Cliplock ForksTM are stored in the compartment at the front of the
left hand side panel. Lift the storage door up, remove the Cliplock ForksTM (take care of
the sharp points of the fork ngers) and pull the rod out from the storage compartment
(this is enclosed so the rod will not interfere with the electrical wiring). Note: If the
barbeque has been in operation, the rotisserie parts may be hot – remove before cooking
or use heat proof gloves. The handle of the rotisserie rod must rst be extended by
rotating the handle anti-clockwise until the thread releases, extending the handle fully and
tightening in place by rotating anti-clockwise again. To t food onto the rotisserie, rst slide
a Cliplock ForkTM (base rst) onto the rod, and lock o by pressing down the small fork
lever. Push the food onto the rotisserie rod and onto the Cliplock ForkTM. Push the second
set of Cliplock ForksTM onto the rod and into the other end of the food, and lock in position
by pressing down the small fork lever.
To extend the rotisserie poles, rst press and release them so the inner section pops out
from the barbeque. Pull the poles up and rotate clockwise to allocate the poles in one of
the 3 height settings. The pole to the right contains the rotisserie motor. Take the rotisserie
rod with the food attached and place the pointed end in the motor hole at the top of the
right hand side pole. Lever the handle side of the rod down into the slot of the left hand
pole (take care the slot in the rod allocates to the keyway) and close the pole cover. Turn
