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. If
you are unsure about anything regarding your barbeque, please contact Everdure by
Heston Blumenthal in Australia on 1300 HESTON or in New Zealand on (09) 415 6000
before operating your appliance.
1. This electric ignition charcoal barbeque set are intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
Do not use indoors!
2. For your safety and enjoyment, read all operating instructions before using this
appliance.
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 outlet and retract the power cord fully.
4. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience or knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance
by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance. Unsupervised children or pets should not be near
a barbeque while cooking or during warm up or cool down. Ensure children or pets
are kept a distance well away from the barbeque whilst it is in use. WARNING! Keep
children and pets away.
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 with the four legs connected (do not
remove and build in). When using on the ground, ensure the surface is level, and strong
enough to support the barbeque and will withstand temperatures of 80°C above
ambient temperature.
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 case of fat re, remove food (if possible) and allow the re to burn out naturally.
Most fat will burn o quickly when it contacts the charcoal, but 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. All
combustible materials must be kept more than 250mm from the sides and rear of the
barbeque and more than 1500mm above the cooking surface of the barbeque.
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)
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
TM
barbeque cover
can help 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.
21. Charcoal and coal products produce carbon monoxide when burned. When the
appliance is being used with solid fuels, always keep the appliance in a well ventilated
area to prevent the gasses produced from building up.
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 – it is recommended that the height of the charcoal
never passes the top level of the charcoal chamber. 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 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 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
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 (see everdurebyheston.
com.au/ everdurebyheston.com.nz).
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
A fairly protected location is desirable for pleasant and ecient cooking. Try to keep
the barbeque sheltered from strong winds as this will drastically alter cooking eciency.
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
the supporting surface can withstand the heat.
WARNING! This barbeque will become very hot during operation. If you need to move it
during operation, we recommend taking extreme care and grab by the handles only. Never
grab the barbeque by the body or sides when in use.
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.au/www.everdurebyheston.com.nz
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.
When igniting the charcoal, pile the charcoal up over the charcoal grid (this is the circular
grid above the element in the centre of the charcoal chamber) so that it overows the
grid by no more than 20mm. When in use, the height of the charcoal should never pass
the top level of the charcoal chamber and the amount being used at any one time should
not exceed 1.8kg.
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 pair of chromed open grills, which can be
fully removed or levered up from the front to add additional charcoal. The grills should
be positioned so that the grill handles are to the front (they will allocate in the notches
at the front of the barbeque). Take care that food cooked is wider than the gaps in the
grills or positioned lengthways so it doesn’t fall through. Over time, the surface of the
grills will discolour with the heat of the fuel (this is a normal process and not a fault). It is
recommended that the grills are 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 grills to cool and then clean. After cleaning, coat
with a little cooking oil to minimise any rusting. Note - During and after operation: Whilst
the grill handles are cool to touch, please be aware that the grill surface will be hot - handle
with care.
