This document describes the FIELDMANN FZG 1000 Charcoal Grill, an outdoor cooking appliance designed for grilling food using charcoal.

Function Description:

The FZG 1000 is a charcoal grill intended for outdoor use only. It functions by burning charcoal to generate heat for cooking food on a grate. The grill is designed to be used in a well-ventilated area, away from any enclosed spaces or overhead combustible constructions. It is not suitable for indoor use, as toxic fumes can accumulate and cause serious bodily injury or death. The grill is also not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles and/or boats, nor should it ever be used as a heater.

Important Safety Instructions and Usage Features:

The manual emphasizes several critical safety instructions that users must follow to prevent serious bodily injury, death, fire, or property damage. These instructions are highlighted with safety symbols and signal words like DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTION.

Lighting and Fuel:
- Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting the charcoal. Only use firelighters complying with EN 1860-3.
- Remove the lid from the barbecue while lighting and getting the charcoal started.
- Do not add charcoal starter fluid or charcoal impregnated with charcoal lighter fluid to hot or warm charcoal.
- Cap starter fluid after use and place it a safe distance away from the barbecue.
- Do not use gasoline, alcohol, or other highly volatile fluids to ignite charcoal.
- If using charcoal starter fluid, ensure any fluid that may have drained through the bottom vents is removed before lighting.
- Handle and store hot electric starters carefully.
Placement and Environment:
- The barbecue must be used outdoors in a well-ventilated area, not in a garage, building, breezeway, or any other enclosed space.
- Do not use the barbecue under any overhead combustible construction.
- Do not use the barbecue within five feet of any combustible material (e.g., wood or treated wood decks, patios, porches).
- Keep the barbecue on a stable, level surface at all times.
- Do not use the barbecue in high winds.
- Keep electrical wires and cords away from hot surfaces and high traffic areas.
- Keep the cooking area clear of flammable vapor and liquids (e.g., gasoline, alcohol) and other combustible materials.
During Operation:
- The barbecue will become very hot during operation; do not move it. Allow it to cool before moving.
- Never touch the cooking or charcoal grates, ashes, charcoal, or the barbecue itself to check if they are hot.
- Barbecue mitts should always be worn when cooking, adjusting air vents (dampers), adding charcoal, and handling the thermometer or lid.
- Use proper barbecue tools with long, heat-resistant handles.
- Some models may include a lid holder feature for storing the lid while checking or turning food. Do not use the lid holder as a handle to lift or move the grill. For models without this feature, use the hook on the inside of the lid to hang it on the side of the barbecue bowl. Do not place a hot lid on carpeting or grass, and do not hang the lid on the bowl handle.
- Do not use water to control flare-ups or to extinguish charcoal, as this may damage the porcelain finish. Instead, slightly close bottom air vents (dampers) and place the lid on the bowl.
- Lining the bowl with aluminum foil will obstruct airflow. Instead, use a drip pan to catch drippings when cooking by the indirect method.
Children and Pets:
- Keep children and pets away from the hot barbecue. Do not leave infants, children, or pets unattended near a hot barbecue.
Assembly:
- Improper assembly can be dangerous. Follow the assembly instructions in the manual.
- Do not use the barbecue unless all parts are in place. Ensure the ash catcher (either standard or high capacity) is properly attached to the legs underneath the bowl before lighting the grill.
User Impairment:
- The use of alcohol, prescription, or non-prescription drugs may impair the consumer's ability to properly assemble or safely operate the barbecue.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the FZG 1000 charcoal grill.

Ash Removal and Cooling:
- Do not remove ashes until all charcoal is completely burned out, fully extinguished, and the grill is cool.
- Never dump hot coals where they might be stepped on or create a fire hazard.
- Never dump ashes or coals before they are fully extinguished.
- Do not store the barbecue until ashes and coals are fully extinguished.
- Extinguish coals when finished cooking by closing all vents (dampers) after putting the lid on the bowl.
Cleaning:
- The barbecue should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
- Using sharp objects to clean the cooking grate or remove ashes will damage the finish.
- Using abrasive cleaners on the cooking grates or the barbecue itself will damage the finish.
