2 ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual is composed of two parts. The first part is the one
you are reading now. It includes instructions for the assembly,
use and maintenance of your appliance. The second part starts
on page 105. It includes all kinds of illustrations:
• Exploded views, parts lists and assembly drawings of the
appliances described in this manual.
• Illustrations that support the most important instructions of
the first part of the manual.
3
If there is an illustration available for a particular
instruction, you find a reference to that illustration in the
instruction. These references are preceded by a pencil
icon, like the one you see here on the left.
3 IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Read and follow the instructions
Read the instructions before using the appliance. Always follow
the instructions carefully. Assembling or using the appliance
differently can cause fires and material damage.
1
Damages caused by not following the instructions
(improper assembly, misuse, inadequate maintenance...)
are not covered by the warranty.
3.2 Use your common sense
Use your common sense when working with the appliance:
• Do not leave the appliance unattended when in use.
• Warning! The appliance will become very hot, do not move it
during operation.
• Use appropriate protection when handling hot parts.
• Keep flammable materials, flammable liquids and dissoluble
objects away from an appliance in use.
• Warning! Keep children and pets away.
• Keep a bucket of water or sand at hand when using the
appliance, especially on very hot days and in dry areas.
• Warning! Do not use indoors.
3.3 Select an appropriate location
Use the appliance outdoors only. Using it indoors, even in a
garage or shed, can cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
When selecting an outdoor location, always:
• Make sure the appliance is not under an overhanging
structure (a porch, a shelter...) or under foliage.
• Put the appliance on a firm and stable surface. Never put it
on a moving vehicle (a boat, a trailer...).
4 RECURRENT CONCEPTS
This part includes definitions of some less familiar concepts.
These concepts are used in several topics of the manual.
4.1 QuickStart
®
lighting system
The appliance is equipped with a QuickStart
®
lighting system.
This system allows you to light your appliance using nothing but
some old newspaper and a match. You do not have to add any
lighting fluids or firelighters. The system also works very quickly:
only 15 minutes after lighting the appliance, you can start grilling.
2
You find step-by-step descriptions of how to use the
QuickStart
®
system further in this manual.
4.2 QuickStop
®
extinguishing system
This information only applies to models Optima, Major and Arena.
Model Basic is not equipped with a QuickStop
®
system.
The appliance is equipped with a QuickStop
®
extinguishing
system. This system allows you to extinguish and clean your
appliance in no time. After grilling, you just have to brush the
ashes into the water container at the bottom of the central pipe.
The water container of the QuickStop
®
system also adds to the
safety of the appliance. It increases the stability and puts out
glowing charcoal in case the appliance would fall over.
2
You find step-by-step descriptions of how to use the
QuickStop
®
system further in this manual.
4.3 Enamel
Some parts of the appliance are covered in a layer of melted
glass, called enamel. This enamel protects the underlying metal
from corrosion. Enamel is a high-quality material: it is resistant to
rust, does not fade under the influence of high temperatures and
is very easy to maintain.
1
Because the enamel is less flexible than the metal which
it covers, pieces of enamel can chip off when you handle
the appliance incorrectly. To avoid problems, be careful
when assembling enamelled parts and always maintain
the enamel as described further in this manual.
5 ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE
5.1 Safety instructions
• Do not modify the appliance when assembling it. It is very
