Care and safe use guidelines

Dating back 4000 years ago archaeologists have discovered large clay vessles thought to be early incarnations of the Kamado ceramic cooker. Since then it has evolved in many ways; removable lid, added draft door for better heat control and the switch from wood to charcoal as the primary fuel. In Japan the Mushikamado was a round clay pot with a removable domed lid designed for steaming rice. The name ‘Kamado’ is, in fact, the Japanese word for ’stove’ or ‘cooking range’. This name was adopted by the Americans and has now become a generic term for this style of ceramic cooker. Kamado cookers are extremely versatile. Not only can they be used for grilling or smoking but also pizzas, bread, pies and cookies can be baked effortlessly inside them.

WARNINGS – CAUTION! Do not remove the grey felt packing from the base or the lid. This grey packing is used for sealing purposes and ensures that “false air” does not occur, which could interfere with the air circulation inside the Kamado Grill. Make sure that you regularly lubricate the bolts and hinges on the metal bands with a light machine oil, or WD40. The bolts must be checked regularly and tightened when necessary.

REPLACING THE FELT PACKING ON THE KAMADO GRILL Depending on how you use the Kamado Grill, the felt packing around the lid and the base should be replaced from time to time. This prevents “false air” from occurring. Carefully carry out the following: Requirements: - self adhesive felt packing - open-ended spanner - scraper and/or Stanley Knife - pot scourer of abrasive pad - acetone - masking tape

1. Remove the adjustable cut-off or ceramic lid cap. Unscrew the nuts on the top tensioning band with the

spanner,thennext,carefullyliftoffthelidandlayitupsidedownontoaprotectivelayerontheoor. Make sure that you do not drop the lid!

2. Unscrew the bottom tensioning band and leave the ceramic base standing in the housing or on the table.

3. Using the Stanley Knife or scraper, cut or scrape off as much of the existing felt packing as possible.

Remove the remaining bits of felt and glue with the acetone an the action of an abrasive pad or pot scourer

4. Now you must wait for about one hour until the acetone has evaporated.

5. Carefully stick the new (self adhesive) felt packing to the edge of the base and the lid. Make sure that the

seams are not at exactly the same place again and allow the felt to overlap slightly on the outside, which is better than on the inside (because it will burn when the grill is lit once again). Allow a little play when sticking down the felt packing (therefore not too tight or stretched), so when warming up the felt packing is able to shrink a little. Neatly cut the felt packing at the seam. It you are using adhesive in place of self adhesive tape, please do as follows: Apply the masking tape immediately under the edge of the base and the outside of the lid so that the adhesive does not stick to the Kamado Grill itself. Protect the inside of the grill with a piece of cardboard and then spray the edges with the adhesive. Follow the instruction for the adhesive and allow it to dry and then stick the felt packing onto the edges. Allow the glue to completely harden.

6. Reassemble the Kamado Grill. Place the tensioning band against the base and tighten the nuts. Carefully put

the lid into the top tensioning band and tighten the nuts. Check whether the lid and the tensioning bands are straightandthengivethenutsanaltighten.
