in these instructions to point out hazards and impor-

Danger: explosive deflagration

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,

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

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-

• 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

• 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-

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

– 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

the area is well-ventilated.16

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

• 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

• 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

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

does not generally take longer than one hour.

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-

– Never dispose of hot embers. Leave them in the

barbecue until they have cooled down.

Using the ground spike

Open fire is not permitted in some areas. Observe

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

Danger: Risk of burning when cleaning

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-
