Operation; Starting Up The Barbecue - Landmann geos 11065 Betriebsanleitung

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.

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.
2. Place barbecue charcoal or briquettes in the fire
bowl.
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.
