SAFETY:
Carefully read this chapter before starting up the appliance.
The following safety instructions are very important for safe operation and
protection against injury. Always keep the Beefer away from children and pets.
Avoid fire and explosion hazards
The Beefer's flames could cause a fire. In addition, your Beefer is a possible
shelter for spiders and other insects, especially around the gas valve. This could
prevent gas flow, so that performance is poorer or, in the worst case, the gas
flows back and out of the gas valve. This could cause a fire in and around the gas
valve under the control knob for the gas feed. LPG is highly flammable
and explosive.
• Only use your Beefer outdoors on a sufficiently large, heat-proof base and
always ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Do not use the Beefer in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area.
• Note that the use of alcohol, prescription or non-prescription drugs may
impair your ability to properly assemble or safely operate the appliance.
• Keep the Beefer away from electrical appliances. These can be dangerous if gas
escapes when connecting the gas lines.
• Ensure that the Beefer stands on a flat and non-slip surface and that it doesn't
move during operation. Allow the cooking vessel to cool to 115°F (45°C).
• Make sure that the Beefer is not used under overhead unprotected
combustible construction.
• Ensure when placing near house walls that the walls may have
heat-sensitive insulation.
• Ensure that there are no flammable or heat-sensitive materials or objects near
the Beefer including gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
• If the temperature exceeds 400°F (200°C) or if oil begins to smoke, immediately
turn the burner or gas supply OFF and wait for the temperature to decrease to
less than 350°F (175°C) before relighting burner according to manufacturer's
instructions.
• In the event of an oil or grease fire do not attempt to extinguish with water.
Immediately call the fire department. A Type BC or ABC fire extinguisher may,
in some circumstances contain the fire.
• In the event of rain, snow, hail, sleet or other forms of precipitation while
cooking with oil or grease, cover the cooking vessel immediately and turn off
the appliance burners and gas supply. Do not attempt to move the appliance or
cooking vessel.
