Safety instructions
• Only use the Petromax Atago outdoors. Do not use indoors.
Fire hazard and danger of suffocation!
•
Caution!
The Atago and all its parts (charcoal grate, grilling grate) become very hot when used. Keep
children and animals away from the Atago when it is hot and never leave the Atago unattended
when in use.
• Do not use more than 30 briquettes at once as this will lead to overheating of the device and could
damage your Atago.
• Comply with fire safety regulations.
• Before initial operation, place the Atago on an even and stable surface out of wind if possible.
• Show consideration to animal and plant life and to nature reserves when you start a fire outdoors.
Always keep a minimum distance of 50 metres to forests and areas of dense vegetation.
• If you use a commercially available grill or fire lighter, such as the Petromax Fire Kit, please follow
the instructions on the packaging.
• For safety reasons, never use liquid fuels such as petrol, turpentine or methylated spirit to start or
restart a fire. Such substances can explode, are hazardous to health and harmful to the environment.
• Never pour lighter fluid or place charcoal soaked in lighter fluid on hot or warm coals. This could
cause explosive combustion in conjunction with a flash fire.
• When in operation, ensure the Atago is a minimum distance of 1.5 metres from flammable materials.
• Do not move the Atago when it is in use or hot.
•
Be careful when adding fuel!
We recommend wearing heat-resistant Petromax Aramid Pro 300
Gloves.
• Always wear heat-resistant, fireproof gloves when using the Atago and adjusting the ventilation
openings to regulate the temperature. We recommend the Petromax Aramid Pro 300 Gloves.
• Use tongs such as the Petromax BBQ and Coal Tongs to position or add fuel.
• Wear close-fitting clothing when using the Atago. Avoid wearing long, wide sleeves because they
can easily catch fire.
• Wait until the ash is completely cold before removing it. Do not use water to extinguish burning coals.
This can cause stresses in the material or cracks, or damage welded seams and joints. The mixture of
water and ashes would also get into potentially hard-to-reach parts of the Atago and cause rust there.
• Always keep a bucket of sand or powder fire extinguisher nearby in case of emergencies.
