Do not use indoors! This barbecue is designed for outdoor use

bodily injury or death.
Only use this barbecue outdoors in a well-ventilated area. Do not

CAUTION! Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting!
Use only firelighters complying to EN 1860-3.
Improper assembly may be dangerous. Please follow the assembly
instructions carefully. Do not use barbecue unless all parts are in
place. Make sure either the ash catcher is properly attached to the
legs underneath the bowl of the barbecue, or the high capacity ash
catcher is in place, before lighting the grill.
Do not add charcoal starter fluid or charcoal impregnated with
charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm charcoal. Cap starter fluid after
use, and place a safe distance away from the barbecue.
Do not use gasoline, alcohol or other highly volatile fluids to ignite
charcoal. If using charcoal starter fluid, remove any fluid that may
have drained through the bottom vents before lighting the charcoal.
You should exercise reasonable care when operating your barbecue.
It will be hot during cooking and should never be left unattended

children or pets unattended near a hot barbecue.

during operation. Allow the grill to cool before moving.
Do not use this barbecue within five feet of any combustible
material. Combustible materials include, but are not limited to wood
or treated wood decks, patios and porches.
Do not remove ashes until all charcoal is completely burned out and
fully extinguished and grill is cool.
Always put charcoal in Char-Baskets™ or on top of the lower

Remove the lid from the barbecue while lighting and getting the
charcoal started.
Never touch the cooking or charcoal grates, ashes, charcoal or the
barbecue to see if they are hot.
Do not use water to control flare-ups or to extinguish charcoal, as
it may damage the porcelain finish. Slightly close bottom air vents
(dampers) and place lid on bowl.
Extinguish coals when finished cooking. Close all vents (dampers)

Barbecue mitts should always be worn while cooking, adjusting
air vents (dampers), adding charcoal and handling the thermometer

as a handle to lift or move the grill. For those models without the
Tuck-Away™ feature, use the hook on the inside of the lid to hang
the lid on the side of the barbecue bowl. Do not place a hot lid on
carpeting or grass. Do not hang the lid on the bowl handle.
Never dump hot coals where they might be stepped on or be
