als, apart from food.

The barbecue is designed exclusively for personal and not for
commercial use.
■
Use the barbecue only for the specified purpose and as
described in these assembly and operating instructions. Any
other use is deemed to be improper.

SAFETY NOTICES
■
WARNING: Do not use indoors!
Only operate outdoors!
There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
■
NOTICE:
The barbecue must not be used if it is deformed or
defective. This must be checked before each use.
■
WARNING!
National and local regulations, such as permits,
operation, safety distances and others, must be complied
with.
■
Choose the location for setting up the barbecue so that no
combustible materials or substances are located nearby or
can get to it. Never set up the barbecue below branches or
canopies. The minimum distance from combustible materials
and surrounding surfaces has to be 3 m.
■
WARNING!
Keep children and pets away.
Never leave
the barbecue unattended when it is burning or still hot. In
particular, make sure that no children or persons who are
not capable of correctly recognising or reacting to possible
dangers come near the hot barbecue.
■
WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or
relighting! Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3!
Otherwise there may be uncontrollable heat caused by defla-
grations.
■
Only ever use
solid firelighters
as liquid firelighters might
attack the ceramic.
■
Use only barbecue charcoal (tested to DIN EN 1860-2) for bar-
becuing. Do not use charcoal briquettes so that the ceramic is
not damaged!
■
This barbecue device gets very hot. Always wear barbecue
gloves when using the barbecue (preparing food, adjusting
the ventilation, using a chimney starter, adding fuel, using
the thermometer, etc.). You should also only ever touch the
barbecue while wearing barbecue gloves immediately after
the embers have been extinguished because the surfaces will
remain hot for a little while. The barbecue gloves (to prevent
thermal risks) must conform to DIN EN 407 (Category II).
■
Use barbecue utensils with long, heat-resistant handles.
■
In the event of a fire: smother the flames with a suitable fire-
proof blanket or a fire extinguisher.
NOTICES FOR ASSEMBLY
PLEASE NOTE!
■
Keep plastic bags and films away from young children and
animals! There is a danger of suffocation.
• The assembly steps are shown at the end of these assembly
and operating instructions. Follow them because
incorrect
assembly can be dangerous.
• Ensure there is sufficient space to assemble the barbecue and
if necessary use a mat to protect the barbecue or delicate
floors from being scratched.
• Assemble the barbecue on a horizontal, flat surface to make
sure it is straight.
• Do not apply any force when assembling the barbecue.
• First tighten the screw connections so they are hand-tight and
then tighten them again properly once you have complet-
ed the assembly step. Otherwise this may cause unwanted
tension.
• Tighten the nuts until they fit firmly, and then turn them a
quarter turn more. Do not tighten them too hard!
A FEW TIPS TO START WITH
• We recommend barbecuing with the lid closed. This reduces
the risk of flash flames and ensures that your food is barbe-
cued faster and more evenly.
• The thermometer on the lid shows you the temperature in the
cooking chamber.
• The cooking time for meat depends on its thickness, quality,
maturity and temperature when you start barbecuing. Until
you are properly familiar with the barbecue, you should check
the condition of the food being barbecued in between times.
• Food that has had a small amount of oil brushed on it will
brown more evenly and not stick to the grill rack.
• Before you cook meat, it should be at room temperature to
ensure good, even cooking.
• If you are using a marinade, sauce or glaze with a high sugar
content or other ingredients which burn easily, only spread
them on in the last 10 to 15 minutes of barbecuing.
USE
PLEASE NOTE!
■
WARNING! This barbecue will become very hot, do not
move it during operation.
■
Only use the barbecue if it has been assembled properly in
accordance with these assembly and operating instructions
and is undamaged. Do not use the barbecue without the
associated frame.
■
Before you use it, set up the barbecue on a secure, stable,
horizontal, flat and fire-resistant surface which is not made of
glass or plastic.
■
The barbecue may be filled with a maximum of 1200 g of fuel.
■
Before barbecuing for the first time, heat up and allow the
fuel to glow for at least 30 minutes to harden the lacquer
coating.
■
Do not cook before the fuel has a coating of ash.
■
At high temperatures, open the barbecue lid slowly and
carefully to avoid flare-ups, which could cause injury.
■
Never pour water onto the hot barbecue to avoid burns and
scalding.
1. Insert the charcoal grate into the charcoal tray.
2. Layer charcoal up on the charcoal grate. Note the maximum
