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 fuel has a coating of ash, when
using charcoal lighting fluid. Allow charcoal to burn with
lid open (approx. 20 minutes). This will allow charcoal
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.

rials during use. Combustible materials should never be
