2 ABOUT THIS MANUAL

This manual is composed of two parts:

• The first part is the part that you are reading now. It includes instructions for the assembly, use and maintenance of your appliance.
  The second part starts on page 129. It includes all kinds of illustrations (exploded views, assembly drawings...) of the appliances that are described in this manual.

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.

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 from an appliance in use.
• 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 Smoking

Smoking food is preparing food by exposing it to smoke from smouldering wood or charcoal. Meat and fish are the most commonly smoked foods, but you can also smoke crustaceans, vegetables and even cheeses.

There exist two types of smoking, hot and cold smoking:

• Hot smoking is smoking food and cooking it at the same time. The food is not exposed directly to the heat source and is cooked slowly, at a fairly low temperature (50 - 80^) .
  Cold smoking is smoking food at a very low temperature
• (max. 25^ ), so the food is not cooked in the process. Cold smoking is used to flavour and preserve food.

If you want to use your appliance for cold smoking, you need the Barbecook cold smoker (223.9840.160). This accessory allows you to cold smoke all types of food in the Oskar.

4.2 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.

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 dangerous and not allowed to alter parts of the appliance.
  Always follow the assembly instructions carefully.
• The user is responsible for the correct assembly of the appliance. Damages caused by improper assembly are not covered by the warranty.

5.2 To assemble the appliance

You need a cross-slotted screwdriver.

1. Put the appliance on a flat and clean surface.
2. Assemble the appliance as shown on the assembly drawings.

You find the assembly drawings in the second part of this manual, after the exploded view of your appliance.

6 SMOKING FOOD

You need wood or charcoal, firelighters (complying with EN 1860-3), a long match and some liquid (water, broth, wine...).

6.1 Which wood or charcoal should I use?

To light the appliance, you can use wood or charcoal:

Material	What to use
Wood	You can use any type of wood, except pine wood. Use twigs and small branches to light the appliance. You can add larger branches and logs afterwards.
Charcoal	Always light your appliance with traditional charcoal, never with briquettes. Once the appliance is lit, you can add briquettes. Use good quality charcoal to light the appliance, preferably complying with EN 1860-2. Good quality charcoal is composed of large, shiny bricks and does not give off much dust. Use small pieces of charcoal to light the appliance. You can add larger bricks afterwards.

Close your bag of charcoal properly before storing it. Always store it in a dry place, do not store it in a cellar.

6.2 Step 1: Lighting the appliance

Before you can smoke any food, you have to light a fire at the bottom of the appliance. Proceed as follows:

1. Remove the lid, the upper rings of the body, the cooking grill(s) and the broth pan from the appliance.
2. Put the charcoal grid in the charcoal bowl.
3. Open the air supply holes in the ash container. You find the ash container below the charcoal bowl.
4. Put some firefighters on the charcoal grid. Always use firefighters that comply with EN 1860-3.

5. Cover the firefighters with charcoal or wood. Tips:

6. Pile the charcoal or wood in a pyramid shape.

7. Do not use too much charcoal or wood to light the fire.
   Make sure you can still reach the firelighters.

8. Take a long match and light the firefighters.

When using the appliance for the first time, let it burn for 30 minutes. This removes any remaining manufacturing greases from the appliance.

Do not put the grill on the appliance yet. An empty grill can deform when held in the heat for too long.

Warning! Do not use spirit or petrol to light or re-light the appliance.

1. Wait until the charcoal or wood is covered with a thin layer of white ashes. Normally, this takes about 25 minutes.
2. Spread the coals or the wood evenly over the charcoal grid and close the door in the bottom ring of the body.

If you use charcoal, you can also light it in the Barbecook charcoal starter. When the charcoal is ready, just pour it from the charcoal starter onto the charcoal grid.

6.3 Step 2: Starting to smoke

Once the charcoal or wood is covered with a thin layer of white ashes, you can start smoking. Proceed as follows:

1. Put the broth pan in the bottom ring of the body, on the three support brackets.
2. Pour some liquid (water, broth, wine...) in the broth pan. You can also add herbs to the liquid for extra flavour.
3. Put the first cooking grill on the broth pan and put your food on the grill.

Only put a single layer of food on the grill and leave enough space between the pieces of food. This allows the smoke and heat to circulate evenly around the food.

1. Oskar L: Put the upper ring of the body on the bottom ring and close the doors in both rings.
2. Oskar L: Put the second cooking grill on the support brackets of the upper ring of the body. Make sure the rim of the grill rests firmly on the brackets.
3. Put your food on the grill and put the lid on the appliance.

Oskar L: This procedure describes how to smoke food using two grills. Obviously, you can also leave one of the grills out, replace one grill by the smoking basket or hang your food from the smoking hooks in the lid.

6.4 Step 3: Keeping a steady temperature

Once you started smoking, you have to keep the temperature steady around 70^ . Thanks to the thermometer in the lid, you can watch the temperature closely.

6.4.1 TEMPERATURE太O HIGH

1. Put the lid on the appliance. Close the air supply holes in the lid and in the ash container.
2. If the temperature remains too high, put some soaked wood chips on the fire. This also enhances the flavour of your food.

6.4.2 TEMPERATURE TOO LOW

1. Fan the fire by opening the air supply holes in the lid and the ash container.
2. If fanning the fire does not raise the temperature enough, add some charcoal or wood to the fire. Proceed as follows:

a. Put gloves on. Keep them on during the entire procedure.
b. Carefully remove the lid from the appliance and open the door in the bottom ring of the body.
c. Put some extra charcoal or wood in the charcoal pan. Use long-handled tongs and try not to stir up the ashes or cause any sparks.
d. Close the door in the bottom ring of the body.
e. Wait until the fire burns strongly and put the lid back on the appliance.

7 USEFUL TIPS AND TRICKS

7.1 Adding flavour with wood chips

To infuse your food with extra flavour, you can add flavoured wood chips to the fire. You can use the chips in two ways:

Soak the chips in water for 10 minutes, drain them and sprinkle them over the charcoal or wood.
- Put the chips in a tinfoil pouch, perforate the pouch with a fork and put the pouch on the charcoal or wood.

No matter which method you use, never add the chips before the charcoal or wood is covered with a thin layer of white ashes. Barbecook provides three types of flavoured wood chips:

Flavour	Intensity	Ideal for
Apple	Mild	Venison, fish, fowl
Oak	Medium	Pork, fowl
Hickory	Robust	Pork chops, ribs, roasts

7.2 Keeping your food moist

To keep your food moist, put some liquid (water, broth, wine...) in the broth pan when you start smoking. Check the pan regularly during smoking and add some extra liquid to the pan when necessary.

Proceed as follows:

1. Open the door in the bottom ring of the body.
2. Carefully pour the liquid in the broth pan, using a funnel or a pot with a spout.
3. Close the door in the bottom ring of the body.

7.3 Lifting the lid

Once you started smoking, avoid lifting the lid as much as possible. A considerable amount of heat and smoke escapes each time you lift the lid, which extends the cooking time of your food.

If you have to lift the lid anyway, always lift it to the side instead of straight up. Lifting the lid straight up creates an air flow in the appliance, which can suck ashes onto your food.

7.4 Using the appliance as a grill

If you do not shield the food from the charcoal or wood with the broth pan, you can use the appliance as a regular grill. Proceed as follows:

1. Light the appliance as described under "6 Smoking food".
2. Put the cooking grill on the support brackets of the bottom ring of the body. Make sure the rim of the grill rests firmly on the brackets.
3. Put your food on the grill.

8 MAINTAINING THE APPLIANCE

8.1 Removing the ashes

We recommend removing the ashes after each use. With the ash container, this is done in no time. Proceed as follows:

1. Let the appliance cool down completely.
2. Remove the lid, the upper ring of the body, the cooking grills and the broth pan.
3. Remove the charcoal grid and brush the ashes into the ash container.
4. Lift the ash container from the charcoal bowl and pour the ashes into a bucket.

8.2 Cleaning the basket, grills and grid

We recommend cleaning the smoking basket, the cooking grills and the charcoal grid after each use, with the Barbecook cleaner. Proceed as follows:

1. Spray the foam on the part to be cleaned and let it act for a while. The foam discolours, as it soaks off the dirt and greases.
2. Remove the foam with a soft sponge and water.
3. Rinse the part thoroughly and dry it well before storing. This

prevents formation of rust.

You can also clean the basket, the grills and the grid with a soft detergent or with sodium bicarbonate. Never use over cleaners on these parts.

To prevent formation of rust, oil the cooking grills and the smoking basket lightly with vegetable oil before you store them. Never oil the charcoal grid.

8.3 Cleaning the broth pan and body

We recommend cleaning the broth pan and the body of the appliance (interior and exterior) after each use:

• Use water with a soft detergent and a soft sponge or cloth to clean the parts.
  Rinse the parts thoroughly and dry them well before storing.

To prevent formation of rust, oil the broth pan and the exterior of the body with vegetable oil before you store the appliance. Never oil the interior of the body.

8.4 Cleaning the lid

The lid can become a bit greasy during smoking. To prevent the grease from building up, we recommend cleaning the inside of the lid after each use. Proceed as follows:

1. Wait until the lid has cooled down a little. It should still be warm, but not too hot to handle.
2. Wipe the inside of the lid with paper towels or clean it with water and a soft detergent.

If grease has built up in the lid anyway, brush off the flakes with a brass brush or crumpled aluminium foil.

8.5 Storing the appliance

Store the appliance in a dry place (indoors, under a shelter...) after each use.

Make sure the appliance is completely dry before you store it. This prevents formation of rust.

8.6 Maintaining enamel, stainless steel, chrome and powder coated parts

The appliance is composed of enamelled, stainless steel, chromed and powder coated parts. Each material has to be maintained differently:

Material	How to maintain this material
Enamel	Do not use sharp objects and do not knock against a hard surface. Avoid contact with cold liquids while still hot. You can use metal sponges and abrasive detergents.
Stainless steel and chrome	Do not use aggressive, abrasive or metal detergents. Use soft detergents and let them act on the steel. Use a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry well before storing.
Powder coated	Do not use sharp objects. Use soft detergents and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and dry well before storing.

Damages caused by not following these instructions are regarded as inadequate maintenance and are not covered by the warranty.

Below the exploded view of your appliance (second part of the manual), you find a list with all parts of which the appliance is composed. This list includes a symbol that specifies the material of each part, so you can use it to check how you have to maintain a particular part. The parts list uses the following symbols:

Symbol	Material
●	Enamel
▲	Chrome
■	Stainless steel
★	Powder coated

8.7 Ordering spare parts

Parts that are directly exposed to fire or intense heat have to be replaced from time to time. To order a spare part:
