Danger: carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide is produced through the incom-
plete combustion of carbonaceous material such
as charcoal or briquettes.
Lack of air circulation increases the concentration
of the toxic gas. Open windows or doors do not
offer any security. As the combustion gases are
not extracted directly via flue systems when using
charcoal barbecues indoors, there is a risk of
severe poisoning because the gas spreads silently
throughout the room.
Carbon monoxide is odourless, colourless and
non-irritating. Therefore, it does not trigger any
warning effect in humans.
The gas is lighter than air and it can accumulate
easily in the surrounding environment through
oxygen displacement. It is absorbed via the lungs
swiftly and silently.
Possible consequences:
• Severe or fatal injury due to carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Safety measures:
• Only use the barbecue outdoors and ensure
the area is well-ventilated.
Danger: burns and fire
During operation some parts of the barbecue can
become very hot, particularly those that are close
to the fire bowl. If a gust of wind enters the fire
bowl, it can cause flying sparks and/or the forma-
tion of flames.
Possible consequences:
• Severe burns from touching hot parts.
• Fire or smoldering fire if flammable materials
or substances are near the barbecue.
Safety measures prior to using the barbecue:
When setting up the barbecue, make sure 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 suf-
ficiently large surface area. It must not be
moved during operation.
Safety measures while barbecuing:
• Wear protective barbecue gloves.
• Never leave the barbecue unattended. Take
particular care to ensure that children and
pets are kept away from the barbecue.
Safety measures after using the barbecue:
• Monitor the barbecue until it has cooled down
- only then should you clean it.
