Cooking with your Kamado

Your new Icon Kamado is the complete outdoor cooking
appliance that allows you to sear, grill, bake and smoke all types
of food. For best results, we recommend using natural lump
charcoal made from hardwoods. Compared to briquettes,
natural charcoals start faster, burn cleaner and longer, reach
higher temperatures and produce less ash. Leftover natural
charcoal also relights for re-use. Before restarting the grill, knock
off excess ash from remaining charcoal. Routinely empty ash,
but only do so when grill is cool.

Starting your Icon Kamado Grill is simple and fast: Open top and
bottom vents wide open, fill the inner fire bowl with enough
charcoal to cover the air holes, then light the charcoal using
approved grill starters. After several coals are burning, spread
evenly, adjust top and bottom vents, and wait for the Kamado
to reach your desired cooking temperature. As needed, add
more charcoal by using the flip grate feature, being careful not
to burn yourself with the hot food or cooking grate.

WARNING

ATTENTION! Use caution when cooking, as grill surfaces get hot. To avoid
burns, always use protective gloves to adjust top and bottom vents when
grill is in use. Do not wear loose clothing near the grill.

ATTENTION! This barbecue will become very hot, do not move it during
operation. For outdoor cooking use only. Do not operate grill indoors or in
an enclosed space. Use grill only in well-ventilated areas. Keep immediate
area around the grill free from combustible materials. Allow for at least
3 feet/1 meter of clearance around grill (house, other outdoor products,
hanging tree limbs, shrubs, etc.)

WARNING! Keep children and pets away from the grill at all times.

Do not allow children to operate grill. Never leave grill unattended when
in use.

Grill should be placed securely on a level base prior to use. Only operate
grill on a hard, stable, level surface (concrete patio, ground, etc.) capable
of supporting the weight of the grill when loaded with food. Never
operate grill on wood support surface, wood deck or like combustible
support surfaces. Never attempt to move grill when in operation or
cooling down. Never operate this grill within 25 feet/7.5 meters of any
flammable liquid. Never operate this grill within 10 feet/3 meters of a gas

garages, porches, patios, or carports. Burning charcoal produces carbon
monoxide, an odorless gas, which can cause death.

Step 6: Ash Drawer Usage

Slide Ash Drawer into ash
drawer opening. When grill is
cool, it is safe to remove ash
from Ash Drawer. To remove
Ash Drawer, use bottom knob
on Ash Drawer, lift slightly and
pull drawer out.

The use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may impair the
operator’s ability to properly assemble or safely operate the grill.

Do not use on boats or recreational vehicles.

CAUTION: Never use lighter fluid, gasoline, or other volatiles to start your
charcoal, as it is dangerous and will leave a residual taste in your food. Use
only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3. Use utmost care when adding
charcoal to grill. Dispose of cooled ash by placing it in aluminum foil,
soaking with water and discarding in a non-combustible container. Always
wait for grill to completely cool before opening built-in ash drawer.

When cooking above 500ºF/260ºC, with both top and bottom vents
closed, rapidly opening the lid creates a sudden rush of oxygen into
the grill, which can cause a flare-up. When in this cooking mode, we
recommend that, prior to opening the lid, you open top and bottom
vents to allow oxygen to stabilize inside the grill, minimizing the possibility
of a flare-up.
