SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow the safety instructions in this user manual may result in serious bodily injury or death or in a fire or
an explosion causing damage to property.
∙
USE OUTDOORS ONLY.
∙ Do not use indoors! Toxic fumes can accumulate which
can cause serious bodily injury or death.
∙ Only use the appliance in a well ventilated area. Do not
use it in a garage, porch, covered patio or under an over-
head structure of any kind.
∙
The appliance is not intended to be installed in or on rec-
reational vehicles and/or boats.
∙
WARNING! Keep children and pets away.
∙ The appliance should never be used by children.
∙
Improper assembly may be dangerous. The appliance
must be properly assembled according to the assembly
instructions.
∙ Always keep the barbecue on a stable, level surface.
∙
WARNING! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-
lighting! Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3.
∙
WARNING! This barbecue will become very hot, do not
move it during operation.
∙
Exercise reasonable care when operating the appliance.
∙ Never leave coals and ashes in grill unattended.
∙
Open the lid while lighting and getting the charcoal
started.
∙
We recommend the use of a charcoal chimney starter. If
you choose to use charcoal lighting fluid, only use lighting
fluid approved for lighting charcoal.
∙ Do not use gasoline, alcohol or other highly volatile fluids
to light charcoal.
∙ Do not cook before the charcoal has a coating of ash,
when using charcoal lighting fluid. Allow charcoal to burn
with lid open (approx. 20 minutes). This will allow char-
coal lighting fluid to burn off. Failure to do this could trap
fumes from charcoal lighting fluid in the barbecue and
may result in a flash fire or explosion when lid is opened.
∙ Never use charcoal that has been pre-treated with lighter
fluid. Use only a high grade plain charcoal or charcoal/
wood mixture.
∙
Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm
coals as flashback may occur causing severe burns.
∙
Never place more than 6.5 kg on the tray. Do not lean on
the tray. Do not lift grill using the tray.
∙
Do not exceed a temperature of 260 °C. Do not allow
charcoal and/or wood to rest on the walls of grill. Doing
so will greatly reduce the life of the metal and finish of
your grill.
∙
After each use, clean the grill thoroughly and reapply a
light coat of oil to interior to prevent rusting. Cover the
grill to protect it from excessive rusting.
∙ We advise to have a fire extinguisher at hand. Refer to
your local authority to determine proper size and type of
fire extinguisher.
∙
Store the grill out of reach of children and in a dry loca-
tion when not in use.
∙
This appliance must be kept away from flammable mate-
rials during use. Combustible materials should never be
within 1 meter of the back or sides of the appliance.
∙ Keep the cooking area (3 meters around the appliance)
clear of sources of ignition such as pilot lights on water
heaters, live electrical appliances, etc. and flammable
vapours/liquids such as gasoline, alcohol, etc.
∙ Keep any electrical supply cord, gas and fuel supply hose
away from any heated surfaces.
∙ Keep ventilation openings free and clear of debris.
∙
Do not store objects or materials in the storage area
under the appliance, that would block the flow of combus-
tion air to the underside of the firebox.
∙
Do not use grill without ash pan in place.
∙ Do not attempt to remove ash pan while it contains hot
coals or during grilling.
∙ Do not remove ashes until all charcoal is completely
burned out and fully extinguished and grill is cool.
∙ Always put charcoal in the charcoal grate. Do not put
charcoal directly in the bottom of the firebox.
∙ Do not wear clothing with loose flowing sleeves while
lighting or using the barbecue.
∙ Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to
avoid burns and splatters. Use protective gloves when
handling hot components.
∙
Do not use barbecue in high winds.
∙ Never touch the cooking or charcoal grates, ashes, char-
coal or the barbecue to see if they are hot.
∙ When opening the lid, keep hands, face and body a safe
distance from hot steam and flame flare-ups. Make sure
the lid is pushed all the way open. If lid is not fully open, it
could fall back and cause injury.
∙ Do not use water to control flare-ups or to extinguish
charcoal.
∙ Extinguish charcoal when finished cooking. Close the lid
and all air vents to suffocate the flames.
∙ Never dump hot coals where they might be stepped on or
be a fire hazard. Never dump ashes or coals before they
are fully extinguished. Do not store barbecue until ashes
and coals are fully extinguished.
∙ This barbecue is not intended for and should never be
used as a heater.
∙ Lining the firebox with aluminium foil will obstruct the air
flow. Instead, use a drip pan to catch drippings from meat
when cooking by the indirect method.
