1. OUTSIDE USE AI RILA cooking units are made for outdoor use only. A cover is available for storage outside.

We recommend storing the RILA in a dry area if it is not used for a long period of time.

It is important that you regularly treat the cooking plate With oil, both its surface and its rim. The cooking plate

is made of steel and will corrode if oil is not baked into

it. Once the oil has properly been baked in, only minor corrosion will develop. When the cooking plate is not used for longer periods, we recommend treating it with oil every 7-10 days to prevent corrosion. Any corrosion that does develop can be removed using steel wool.

In the event of excessive corrosion, we recommend polishing its surface with a wire brush. lt is best to heat the cooking plate beforehand, because that will loosen up the layer of corrosion. Once the cooking plate has been thoroughly polished, you will be able to wipe away the polishing residue with a cloth. Once you treat the cooking plate with oil, it will be good as new again.

The base plate of the RILA contains a hole to allow rainwater to drain away. To prevent your RILA from clogging, we recommend that you remove the ashes after every use. (Hot) ashes my also drop through the hole. Take this into consideration when choosing a place to set up your RILA. You might want to put a metal bucket with some water underneath to catch these ashes.

2. WOOD For the best cooking experience, we recommend using dried wood to prevent smoke formation during cooking.

Stack the pieces of wood two by two, preferably with the bark facing outwards to further prevent smoke formation. Dried beech wood is best, because it burns down to a mass of coals that optimally heats up the cooking plate. This mass of coals is easily shifted around if you want to direct the heat elsewhere. When you light the fire and add new wood to the fire, it will generally smoke for a bit until it catches fire properly.

The ideal size for the pieces of wood is around 10 x 30 centimeters. We advise against using larger pieces of wood. These do tend to catch fire quickly, but generally do not burn down properly due to the lack of space for oxygen in the base. Do not over stack the wood, be considerate.

8. FIRST USE Upon initial use, it is important to light a smaller fire for roughly 30 minutes to allow the cooking plate to settle properly. If you light a fire that is too big using wood that reaches very high temperatures, such as the kind of hardwood that is used in construction, this may cause

the cooking plate to deform. We do not accept warranty claims for any damage resulting from such incorrect usage.

AI RILA cooking plates are treated against corrosion during manufacturing. Once you have prepped the cooking plate properly using a small fire, you can start building a larger fire. Because RILA cooking plate tops are 6 mm thick, it takes quite a sizeable fire to get them heated through properly.

Once the cooking plate is well heated, apply olive oil and spread it with a kitchen towel.

Do this 2-3 times. Then scrape down the cooking plate With a spatula and push the scrapings into the fire. Initially, the cooking plate will give off a black substance. Simple apply olive oil a few more times, spread out the oil, and scrape down the cooking plate. We recommend using olive oil the first 2-8 times you use your RILA cooking unit. After the first few uses, you can start using other oil types, such as sunflower oil. Baking the oil into the cooking plate also protects it from corrosion.

4. COOKING It will take between 25 to 45 minutes, depending on the weather conditions and the outside temperature, for the cooking plate to reach a temperature of around 300°C on the inner edge and around 200'C on the outer edge.

Once your initial fire's wood is burning properly, spread out the hot mass under the edges of the cooking plate and add new wood with the bark facing up.

Repeat the process for the entire duration that you wish to keep the cooking plate hot. If there is wind, the cooking plate will be hottest where the wind leaves the RILA cooking unit, i.e. in the direction of the wind.

You can compensate for this by pushing more hot coals into the opposite direction. Once the cooking plate is starting to heat up, you must first scrape it down using the spatula and then rub it with an oiled cloth. Once the cooking plate is hot enough for cooking, add some oil in the area were you intend to cook.

Whenever the cooking plate starts to appear dry and matte, you will need to add extra oil, to ensure that the cooking plate is always sufficiently greased. You will

need to add more oil when cooking fish and vegetables than when cooking fatty meats. You can also use our barbecook smoke planks to place thicker cuts of meat or fish on after you have seared the outsides, to allow them to cook slowily. If any food residue is left behind on the cooking plate, simply push it into the fire using a spatula. Rub the cooking plate down with an oiled cloth frequently. We recommend that you do not allow a thick layer of residue to build up, because it will be hard to remove. It is better to scrape down the cooking plate frequently. Once you are done cooking, clean the cooking plate one last time using the procedure outlined above, and if it is still

warm, rub it with oil once more. This ensures that it will be properly protected.

If you use your RILA cooking unit a lot, a smooth layer of carbon residue will build up on the griddle top, making it easy to use. From time to time, this layer might peel. When you spot it peeling in places, simply scrape off the peels using the spatula, and rub on new oil. The carbon residue layer will gradually renew itself this way.

5. AFTER USE The best way is to let the fire die out. Please note that the ashes and the cooking plate can stay hot long after use.

Please note that you should never extinguish the fire using water!

6. MAINTENANCE WARNING! + _The RILA will become very hot!

+ Do not use the RILA indoors! + Keep children and pets away! + Do not use spirit or petrol for lighting or re-lighting!

Only use firelighters complying to EN 1860-81

FAQ'S Cooking unit general information.

WHAT ARE RILA COOKING UNITS MADE OF?

The cooking plate is made of steel. The bases and legs are made of heat resistant coated steel.

IS MY RILA COOKING UNIT PORTABLE?

RILA cooking units are relatively low-maintenance. As stated previously, corrosion may build up on your prepped cooking plate if you do not use your RILA cooking unit

for an extended period of time, but such corrosion can easily be removed. If you do not prep your cooking plate properly, the corrosion may be extensive and you will need to use a wire brush to remove the corrosion, as explained in Chapter 01, ‘OUTSIDE USE.

1. DO NOT USE IN CLOSED-OFF SPACES Your RILA cooking unit is not suitable for use in partially or entirely closed-off spaces. Such use may cause an excess of dangerous fumes that may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

2. DO NOT USE PURE ALCOHOL, PETROL,

OR OTHER CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES The use of pure alcohol, petrol, or other chemical substances when lighting fires is very dangerous and may affect the food on the cooking plate. We are not liable for any health issues resulting from using chemical substances when lighting your RILA cooking unit. Moreover, please make sure that the area around your RILA cooking unit is clear of any highly flammable materials.

3. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR RILA UNATTENDED Please note that you should never leave your RILA cooking unit unattended. Keep children and pets away from the unit.

4. WARRANTY TERMS A 2-year warranty applies to the material and construction of all steel elements of all RILA cooking units. For proper registration of your RILA products please go to https:// www.barbecook.com/en/accounts/

The RILA is delivered in separate pieces and as such is easy to move.

CAN I LEAVE MY RILA COOKING UNIT OUTSIDE?

Your RILA cooking unit can be left outside in all weather conditions but rust may form. lt is advised to store indoor or use a Barbecook textile cover. The cooking plate may start corroding over time as well if it is not oiled properly. We recommend oiling the cooking plate every 7 to 10 days while the RILA is not in use

HOW DO I CLEAN MY RILA COOKING UNIT?

We recommend oiling your RILA cooking plate once every 7 to 10 days, as described above. After you use your RILA, the leftover ashes must be removed to prevent the water drain hole from clogging. Please note that the ashes will stay hot for a very long time; therefore, make sure to only store leftover ashes in fireproof containers. Once the ashes have cooled down, they can be removed with a regular dustpan and brush and deposited into a regular waste bin.

DO I NEED TO PLACE A PLATE UNDER- NEATH MY RILA TO PROTECT THE FLOOR?

Water and ash may drain or drop down the hole in the RILA cooking units cone. This may cause light-toned surfaces to be permanently stained. To protect your surface, you can place a stone underneath the RILA cooking unit, place a fireproof bucket underneath, or place a steel plate in the base. The bottom of the base is not likely to heat up enough during average use to damage your surface.

HOW DO I PREPARE MY RILA UNIT FOR ITS FIRST USE?

Use the method described in Chapter 3, ‘FIRST USE”. Once the cooking plate has been prepped, your RILA cooking unit will be ready for its first cooking session. The food will stick to the cooking plate a little more at the beginning than after 2-3 uses. Similar to an old-fashioned cast-iron frying pan, a natural non-stick coating will develop over time, making for easy non-stick cooking.

CAN I USE CHARCOAL INSTEAD OF WOOD?

Yes, you can use charcoal as fuel for your RILA cooking unit. However, charcoal might not reach the same temperatures as fire wood.

ARE THERE ANY RILA COVERS AVAILABLE?

Yes, there are BARBECOOK textile covers available which will protect your RILA against extreme weather conditions.

4. GARANTIEBEDINGUNGEN A 2-year warranty applies to the material and construction of all steel elements of all RILA cooking units. For proper registration of your RILA products please go to https:// www.barbecook.com/en/accounts/
