Starting up the barbecue

Caution:
Please note the maximum permitted capacity of
the barbecue with regard to charcoal and bri-
quettes (see 'Technical specifications'). If the bar-
becue 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 use charcoal or barbecue briquettes as the fuel.
We recommend using quality products from Land-
mann.
1. Stack some charcoal or barbecue briquettes on the
charcoal grid.
2. Light one or two solid firelighters using a match.
Place these firelighters on top of the layer of char-
coal or briquettes.
3. Allow the solid firelighters to burn for 2 to 4 min-
utes. Then slowly fill the fire bowl with charcoal
or briquettes.
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
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. 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
are covered.
– Open the vents in the lid so that the heat can
escape.
– 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.

Cleaning

Danger: Risk of burning when cleaning
the hot barbecue
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.
Environmental information
and disposal measures
Pay attention to cleanliness when handling the bar-
becue.
To dispose of the barbecue properly, disassemble it
into its individual parts. Recycle the metal and plastic
components.
Observe the local regulations.
