Guarantee claims and warranty

Your Landmann barbecue left the factory in a techni-

cally flawless condition.

In addition to your statutory warranty claims Land-

mann therefore also offers an extended 10 year qual-

ity and durability warranty against the fire bowl and

lid rusting or burning through.

Any warranty and guarantee claims shall become

void in the event of improper use of the barbecue or

if non-approved fuel is used. Discolouration, rusting

or slight deformation of parts exposed directly to the

flames (cooking grill, charcoal grid, et cetera) do not

impair the function of the barbecue and, as such, do

not form a basis for any claims.

Please retain your receipt in case you need to make a

Definition of terms used

The following pictograms and signal words are used

in these instructions to point out hazards and impor-

Danger: Explosive deflagration

Firelighters such as petrol, spirits and other simi-

lar fire accelerants are very dangerous for ignit-

ing the fuel (charcoal or barbecue briquettes), as

they burn in an explosive manner when ignited.

This is particularly true if such accelerants are

sprayed or poured onto hot fuel, as this can cause

a flashback in the fuel container.

If hot charcoal or briquettes are extinguished

with water, it creates an explosive deflagration as

the water evaporates instantly.

Possible consequences:

• Severe personal injury or damage to property

• Only use the barbecue outdoors and ensure

that the area is well-ventilated.

• Only ignite the fuel (charcoal or barbecue bri-

quettes) by using an approved firelighter (EN

• Do not lean over the barbecue when igniting

• Never use water to extinguish hot charcoal or

Danger: Carbon monoxide poisoning

Carbon monoxide is produced through the incom-

plete combustion of carbonaceous material such

as charcoal or briquettes.

Carbon monoxide is odourless, colourless and

non-irritating. Therefore, it does not trigger any

warning effect in humans.

Possible consequences:

• Death or severe personal injury as a result

of carbon-monoxide poisoning may occur in

Getting to know the OptiHeat system

Thanks to their OptiHeat system, kettle barbecues in

the black pearl series are the only barbecues in the

world that enable height adjustment of the cooking

If you need more information on the OptiHeat sys-

tem, please refer to www.landmann.com.

Here are a few tips to help you assemble your barbecue

quickly and successfully:

• Check that no parts are missing by placing all of the

individual parts on an empty table (subject to minor

• If, despite careful factory checks, a component

should be missing, please contact our customer serv-

ice department (see last page). We will immediately

attend to your request.

• Only use tools that are intact and suitable for the

job at hand. Worn or unsuitable tools will not allow

you to tighten the bolts sufficiently, but will dam-

age them to the extent that they can no longer be

• Always fit all connecting elements (screws, nuts,

bolts, et cetera) as shown in the illustrations. If you

misplace a connecting element, replace it with an

appropriate part. Only by doing this can you ensure

that the construction is strong and safe.

• It is essential that you follow the instructions in the

order they are specified!

• Even if you are not experienced at DIY, assembly does

not generally take longer than one hour.

The illustrations showing the assembly steps are at

the end of this manual.

Danger: Burns and fire

During operation some parts of the barbecue can

become very hot, particularly those close to the

fire bowl and the lid. If a gust of wind enters the

fire bowl, it can cause flying sparks and/or the

Possible consequences:

• Severe burns from touching hot parts.

• Fire or smoldering fire if flammable materials

or substances are near the barbecue.

Safety measures prior to using the barbecue:

When setting up the barbecue, make sure that

– there are not, and will not be, any flam-

mable materials or substances nearby. The

minimum distance to flammable materi-

als or substances is 5 m and the minimum

distance to flame-resistant materials or

substances, e.g. house walls, is at least 1 m.

– the barbecue is protected from the wind.

– the barbecue is positioned firmly on a suf-

ficiently large surface area. It must not be

moved during operation.

Safety measures while barbecuing:

• Wear protective barbecue gloves.

• Never leave the barbecue unattended. Take

particular care to ensure that children and

pets are kept away from the barbecue.

Safety measures after using the barbecue:

• Close the ventilation slots under the fire bowl

so that less oxygen is supplied to the embers.

• Place the lid on the fire bowl so that the

• Open the vents in the lid so that the heat can

• Monitor the barbecue until it has cooled down

- only then should you clean it.12

Only use approved barbecue lighters (such as Land-

mann solid firelighters); never use petrol, spirits or

other substances that are subject to deflagration

Only use charcoal or barbecue briquettes as the fuel.

We recommend using quality products from Land-

1. Stack some charcoal or barbecue briquettes on the

2. Light one or two solid firelighters using a match.

Place these firelighters on top of the layer of char-

3. Allow the solid firelighters to burn for 2 to 4 min-

utes. Then slowly fill the fire bowl with charcoal

The first time you use the barbecue allow it to

heat up for approximately 20 minutes (with the lid

closed) before adding any food; doing this will allow

the food-safe coating to harden (as is the case with

4. When the charcoal or briquettes are completely

covered with a layer of ash, distribute them evenly

in the fire bowl by using a suitable metal utensil

5. Now insert the greased OptiHeat cooking grill

and place the food to be cooked on top. Always

wear barbecue mittens or gloves that protect your

hands against the heat.

Switching off the barbecue

• Plan ahead before barbecuing. Only use the fuel

you need to prepare your food.

• If you have finished preparing your food or want

to temporarily interrupt the preparation process:

– Close the ventilation slots under the fire bowl

so that less oxygen is supplied to the embers.

– Place the lid on the fire bowl so that the embers

– Open the vents in the lid so that the heat can

– Do not leave the barbecue unattended while

the fuel is still hot.

– Never pour water onto the hot embers, as it

will cause the water to evaporate in an explo-

– Never dispose of hot embers. Leave them in the

barbecue until they have cooled down.

Danger: Risk of burning when cleaning

Some parts of the barbecue can become very hot.

Allow the barbecue to cool down sufficiently

before cleaning it. Wear protective gloves.

To make sure that you have many years of enjoyment

with your barbecue you should always clean it after

use - after making sure that all the parts have cooled

down - with detergent, a brush and a cloth. This will

be much harder to do later, once the soiling has dried.
