authorities having jurisdiction. This appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling, overhang, awnings,
parasol or gazebo. Do not use on decking or any other combustible surfaces such as dry grass, wood chips, leaf mulch, or
decorative bark. Do not use the barbecue in a confined and/or habitable space e.g. houses, tents, caravans, motor, homes,

gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
