Accelerants like petrol, spirits and other similar liquid accelerants are extremely dangerous, as they burn in an explosive way 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:

• Sever injury to persons or damage to property, especially burns Safety measures:

• Only use the barbecue outdoors and ensure that the area is well-ventilated.

• Only ignite fuel (barbecue charcoal or bar- becue briquettes) with approved firelighters (EN 1860-3) and always observe the safety instructions for the firelighter when doing so.

• Do not lean over the barbecue when igniting the fuel.

• Never use water to extinguish hot charcoal or briquettes. General Safety Precautions Failure to observe the following basic safety meas- ures can cause severe injury to persons and substan- tial damage to property:

• Use the barbecue exclusively for the intended pur- pose .

• Never use the barbecue despite obvious damage.

• Never modify the barbecue's technology. Use only original spare parts from LANDMANN.

• Only use accessories that are approved for this barbecue (if in doubt, contact customer service).

• Only use the barbecue outdoors and ensure that the area is well-ventilated.

• Never leave the barbecue unattended when in use. Take particular care to ensure that children and persons with physical or mental disabilities keep well away from the barbecue. They may not be able to identify the dangers correctly.

• Always wear barbecue mittens when using the barbecue.

• Small parts may be lethal if swallowed. Note that there is a danger of suffocation if the respiratory tract is covered by packing foil.

• Do not place heavy loads on the barbecue. In par- ticular, observe the maximum weight loads in the Technical Specifications.11065

Danger: burns and fire

During operation some parts of the barbecue can become very hot, particularly those that are close to the fire bowl. If a gust of wind enters the fire bowl, it can cause flying sparks and/or the forma- tion of flames. 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 flammable materials or substances nearby. The minimum distance to flammable materials 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:

• Monitor the barbecue until it has cooled down - only then should you clean it.

Danger: carbon monoxide poisoning

Carbon monoxide is produced through the incom- plete combustion of carbonaceous material such as charcoal or briquettes. Lack of air circulation increases the concentration of the toxic gas. Open windows or doors do not offer any security. As the combustion gases are not extracted directly via flue systems when using charcoal barbecues indoors, there is a risk of severe poisoning because the gas spreads silently throughout the room. Carbon monoxide is odourless, colourless and non-irritating. Therefore, it does not trigger any warning effect in humans. The gas is lighter than air and it can accumulate easily in the surrounding environment through oxygen displacement. It is absorbed via the lungs swiftly and silently. Possible consequences:

• Severe or fatal injury due to carbon monoxide poisoning. Safety measures:

• Only use the barbecue outdoors and ensure the area is well-ventilated.16

Assembly Here are a few tips to help you assemble your barbe- cue quickly and successfully:

• Check that no parts are missing by carefully plac- ing all of the individual parts in some free space (subject to minor technical changes).

• If, despite careful factory checks, a component should be missing, please contact our customer service department (see last page). We will imme- diately attend to your request.

• To assemble the barbecue you need a medium sized screwdriver.

• 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 damage them to the extent that they can no longer be turned.

• Always fit all connecting elements (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.) 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.

• Be sure to follow the instructions in the specified order!

• 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. Operation Starting up the barbecue Caution: Please note the maximum permitted capacity of the barbecue with regard to charcoal and briquettes (see 'Technical specifications'). If the barbecue is overfilled it can result in damage. Only use approved barbecue lighters (such as Land- mann solid firelighters); never use petrol, spirits or other substances that are subject to deflagration when ignited. Only place barbecue charcoal or briquettes in the fire bowl. We recommend using quality products from Landmann.

1. Check to ensure that ....

– there are not, and will not be, any flammable materials or substances nearby. The minimum distance to flammable materials 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 suffi- ciently large surface area. It must not be moved during operation. – the barbecue is fully assembled and has no apparent faults.

3. Ignite the charcoal or briquettes with an approved

firelighter for barbecues. Observe the safety instructions for the firelighter. The first time you use the barbecue, heat for some 20 minutes without food to harden the firebowl's food-safe (like with any oven).

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 (e.g. fire rake).

5. You can now put your grillables on the barbecue.

Always wear barbecue mittens or gloves that pro- tect your hands against the heat.11065

Switching off the barbecue

• Plan ahead before barbecuing. Only use the fuel you need to prepare your food.

• After you finish cooking your food, or if you want to interrupt the process:

• 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- sive manner. – Never dispose of hot embers. Leave them in the barbecue until they have cooled down. Using the ground spike Caution: Open fire is not permitted in some areas. Observe local regulations. The ground spike (15) supplied with the barbecue means that you can use the barbecue over a camp fire. Follow these steps:

1. Push the ground spike (15) into the ground.

Make sure the ground spike is firmly anchored in the ground and secured against falling over.

2. Remove the wing nut (S1) and the washer (U) and

remove the upper part of the stand (2).

3. Now place the upper part of the stand (2) on the

4. Secure the connection using the wing nut (S1) and

the washer (U) (see Figure).

Using the ground spike

5. Check the stability of the barbecue. Only use the

barbecue if it is safely anchored and never over- load the cooking grill with food to avoid the bar- becue falling over. Cleaning

Danger: Risk of burning when cleaning

the hot barbecue Some parts of the barbecue can become very hot. For this reason, always allow the barbecue to cool down before cleaning. Never use water to cool down a hot barbecue. 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. In case of stubborn dirt, or to refresh the surfaces, you can use a domestic stainless steel cleaner. Never use abrasive cleaners, steel wool or other base metal objects as this will provoke flash rust and dis- colouration!18
