Use and Care Manual

SET-UP
WARNING
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR ICON KAMADO.
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
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 cylinder. The grill should not be
placed under combustible structures, like garages, porches, patios, or carports. Burning
charcoal produces carbon monoxide, an odorless gas, which can cause death.
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. NEVER use Charcoal Briquettes
that contain starting chemicals or additives. 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.
