THANK YOU FOR PURCHASING AN OFYR

PRODUCT. THIS MANUAL IS INTENDED FOR YOUR OFYR

CLASSIC 85 AND 100, CORTEN OR BLACK OR CONCRETE (ONLY 100) These outdoor Cooking Units consist of a closed base in either Corten steel, Black-coated steel or Concrete (only 100), a cone in Corten steel or Black-coated steel, as well as a black steel cooking plate.

These outdoor Cooking Units consist of an open base for under-counter wood storage and cone, both in Corten steel or Black-coated steel, as well as a black steel cooking plate.

These outdoor kitchen like outdoor Cooking Units consist of an open base for under-counter wood storage, a handy accessories tray and a cone, all three in both Corten steel or Black-coated steel, a black steel cooking plate as well as a chopping board in either Teak wood or Ceramic dark grey.

This outdoor Cooking Unit does consist of a closed base and cone, both in Corten steel, as well as a black steel cooking plate. OFYR

Due to the considerable weight of the elements unpacking and placing of the product should be done by at least 2 people. In case of the OFYR

XL even 4 people. To prevent the formation of blurs on the edges of the steel cooking plate of your OFYR

Cooking Unit, do not roll the cooking plate during transport. As a result of blurs the top can no longer be scraped down properly with the spatula. While the corrosion is still superfi cial, the Corten steel elements may cause orange stains on clothes, skin, and the surface they stand on. When it rains, corrosive water may also run off these elements, which may permanently stain light-toned stone or wooden surfaces. When placing the cooking plate on the cone with 2 people (the XL with 4 people), he safest way is to place it halfway and then pull it over the cone from one side until it clicks into place. If the cooking plate does not fi t the cone levelly, you can turn it until the ring settles over the cone. We recommend the use of gloves when placing the cooking plate. Also please be careful not to stain your clothes when touching the Corten steel elements. The OFYR

Cooking Units Black and Concrete are more sensitive to damage during setup and use because of its coating. The edges of the Concrete base are very vulnerable during setup. Only place your OFYR

Cooking Unit on a hard, leveled, heat resistant and stable surface. Do not shift the OFYR

Cooking Units after they are set up. This may cause damage to the adjustable feet or the rivet nuts with which they are attached. Do not use the adjustable feet to change the overall height of your OFYR

Cooking Unit. The unit may become unstable if the adjustable feet are extended by more than 10mm. The use of pure alcohol, petrol or other chemical substances when lighting or re-lighting fi res is very dangerous and may aff ect the food on the cooking plate. Only use fi relighters that comply with EN 1860-3. Never leave your OFYR

Cooking Unit unattended during use. Keep children and pets away from the OFYR

Cooking Unit during use and after use when the unit is still warm. Never use an OFYR

Cooking Unit indoors or in a partially or fully closed-off space. This causes an excess of dangerous fumes that may result in carbon monoxide poisoning. Make sure that the area around your OFYR

Cooking Unit is clear of any fl ammable materials.8 OFYR

When using tropical hardwood for heating your OFYR

Cooking Unit, only use smaller quantities at the same time. The amount of heat generated by this type of wood is such, that larger quantities used at the same time will cause the cooking plate to warp. Ashes can stay very hot for a long period of time. Sometimes even for more days. Therefore, before disposing of your ashes in a regular bin, always fi rst put them in an empty zinc bin and throw water over them so that they are completely wet. Only then dipsose of them in your regular bin. Never extinguish the fi re using water

• Use very dry wood with max. 20% humidity.

• Our preferred wood is beech wood which becomes thick charcoal. Ash wood also works well.

• Be very careful with using tropical hardwood which becomes very hot. When using too much of it the plate might warp (see Fig. 1).

• Also charcoal can be used but preferably in combination with fi rewood. With the OFYR

Gloves the mass of coals is easily shifted around if you want to direct the heat elsewhere (see Fig.2). Fig. 1 - Warped cooking plate due to using too much tropical hardwood at the same time Fig. 2 - OFYR Gloves9OFYR

ENEN Fig. 3 - Stack the pieces of wood two by two. Fig. 4 - OFYR Buffadoo set 20cm

When storing logs or other items in the storage space of your OFYR

Classic Storage or your OFYR

Island, always leave a free space of at least 20cm below the cone, because the plate under the cone becomes very hot. When placing logs or other items closer to this very hot bottom, they can catch fi re, which can cause very dangerous situations. 20cm

Stack the pieces of wood two by two, as if you were building a log cabin (see Fig. 3), with the bark facing outwards to further prevent smoke formation. Smoke formation when lighting a fi re or when adding new fi rewood can be prevented for the most part by using our OFYR

Buff adoo blowpipe (see Fig. 4), causing the new wood to catch fi re almost instantly. The ideal size for the logs is around 10 x 30 cm. We advise against using larger pieces of wood. These do tend to catch fi re quickly, but generally do not burn down properly due to the lack of space for oxygen in the cone. For an evening of cooking (4-5 hours) you will need in average around two OFYR

Wood Bags of around 50 liters each, depending on the outdoor temperature and the weather conditions.10 OFYR

3.4.3 Time needed to heat the cooking plate

The outdoor temperature is an important factor for the time needed to heat the cooking plate properly. This time can range from 25-30 minutes during spring and summer to 45-60 minutes during fall and winter. The cooking plate is 12mm thick, so it needs a decent fi re to heat the plate properly.

3.4.4 Removing factory oil from the cooking plate

Once the cooking plate is really well heated, drizzle on olive oil and spread it with a kitchen towel. The olive oil will mix with the factory oil and will make it easy to remove the factory oil. If olive oil is put on the plate when this is not well heated, what comes off is a sticky black substance that is not easy to remove. Drizzle on olive oil 2-3 times. Then scrape down the cooking plate with the supplemented spatula and push the scrapings into the fi re. We also have a PRO spatula in our product range for intensive use in a professional environment. Once all you can manage to scrape off is beige scrapings, the cooking plate is clean and ready for use. Simply drizzle on olive oil once more and spread it out and start cooking!

3.4.5 Managing the fire

Depending on the weather conditions and the outdoor temperature, the cooking plate will reach a temperature of around 300˚C on the inner edge and around 200˚C on the outer edge. To do so, build a fi re using the wood cabin method mentioned above. Once your initial fi re’s wood is burning properly, spread out the hot mass under the edges of the cooking plate and add new wood in the middle with the bark facing up. Repeat the process for the entire duration that you wish to keep the cooking plate hot. You will notice that it will take a lot more wood during autumn and winter to keep the cooking plate hot than during spring and summer. If there is a breeze, the cooking plate will be hottest where the wind leaves the OFYR

Cooking Unit, i.e. in the direction of the wind. You can compensate for this by pushing more hot coals into the opposite direction.

Please proceed as mentioned above, but it is important to light a smaller fi re for roughly 30 minutes to allow the cooking plate to settle properly. During manufacture, the middle of the cooking plate was pressed down just slightly. When the cooking plate is heated, it will bend down even further, but if you light too big a fi re during your initial use of your OFYR

Cooking Unit, this may cause the cooking plate to bend down too far during future use. It is very important to prepare the cooking plate properly using the procedure outlined above. In some cases, the cooking plate may instead bulge upwards in the middle and thus become convex (see Fig. 5). This means the steel is incorrectly stressed. If this happens, please contact your dealer. Fig. 5 - Upwards bulged cooking plate

3.4.2 Which cooking oil to use

It is best to use vegetable oil. We recommend using olive oil the first 2-3 times you use your OFYR

Cooking Unit. Olive oil has a lower combustion point, which will help the cooking plate get a nice brown-black hue. After the first few uses, you can start using oil types with higher combustion points, such as sunflower oil or groundnut oil.11OFYR

The best way is to let the fi re die out on its own. For safety reasons the fl ames can be covered by the Snuff er 85, 100 and XL. However, the fi re will not die out when the Snuff er is put on the plate, because there is still some air supply. When covering the fi re for a longer period of time with the Snuff er, such will cause strong smoke formation. When then removing the Snuff er, such might lead to sudden and big fl ames due to sudden air supply. Hot ashes and charcoal that remain from the burned down fi rewood, can be covered by the Snuff er in order to avoid these to be blown away.

Ashes can stay very hot for a long period of time. Sometimes even for more days. Therefore, before disposing of your ashes in a regular bin, always fi rst put them in an empty zinc bin and throw water over them so that they are completely wet. Only then dipsose of them in your regular bin.

• The cooking plate is made of black steel and will corrode if oil is not properly 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 of time, we recommend treating it with oil every 15-30 days. The amount of corrosion does very much depend on the climate. Salty, humid air is obviously much worse than dry air. Because treating a cold cooking plate with cooking oil does not work too easily, using a spray bottle with pan coating is more e cient.12 OFYR

• If you use your OFYR

Cooking Unit a lot, a smooth layer of carbon residue will build up on the cooking plate, making it extra smooth and extra comfortable to use. From time to time, this layer might come off here and there. When you spot it chipping in places, simply scrape off the chips using the spatula, and rub on new oil. The carbon residue layer will gradually renew itself this way.

• To prevent the cone from getting clogged, the ashes need to be removed after every use.

• If wed ash is left for a too long period in the cone or if the OFYR Cooking Unit is in a very wet or salty region, steel chips may form on both the inside and outside of the Corten steel cones. These chips can easily be removed with the spatula. The video “Maintenance of the OFYR Corten Cone” clearly shows how to proceed.

• While cooking oil splashes may form on the base. From the Corten steel bases these splashes cannot be removed. However, the entire Corten steel base can be treated with oil using a kitchen towel making the splashes invisible. Such treatment will make the entire base darker. When it rains, slightly greasy water may run off the Corten base, which may permanently stain light-toned stone or wooden surfaces.

• The Concrete base has been treated with wax in order to make the surface shiny. Due to weather and sunlight this shiny appearance will disappear over time. Therefore the Concrete comes with additional wax to make the base shiny again.13OFYR

We are not liable for any injuries or damages as a consequence of not following our safety and setup-, intended use- and maintenance instructions/tips.

Corten Cooking Units are made of Corten steel: a metal with a natural layer of corrosion that protects against rust perforation. OFYR

Corten Cooking Units come with the additional service that the corrosion process has already started by the time they are delivered. Upon delivery, it takes another 6-12 months for the initial corrosion to turn into a fully protective layer. The unit’s color may change over time as the corrosion process may not yet have fully unfolded. We are not liable for any color changes. Any Corten steel components that are less corroded than others upon delivery are not eligible for replacement. All components will corrode naturally over time under influence of the weather. We are not liable for any differences of corrosion between different elements. While the corrosion is still superficial, the Corten steel elements may cause orange stains on clothes, skin, and the surface they stand on. When it rains, corrosive water may also run off these elements, which may permanently stain light-toned stone or wooden surfaces. We are not liable for stains as a consequence of corrosion.

7.3 BLACK-COATED STEEL

Please note that the OFYR

Cooking Units Black have a coating and are thus more sensitive to damage during setup and use. We are not liable for any damage consequential damage resulting from the setup or use of your OFYR

Cooking Unit Black. Due to weather and sunlight the coating can be subject to discolouration. We are not liable for such discolouration.

• Although the coating of the Black Cooking Units is very strong, it is always possible that scratches will occur. Therefore with every Black Cooking Unit a touch up bottle comes for free, which can be used to repair minor damage.14 OFYR

A limited lifetime guarantee applies to the material and construction of all OFYR

Cooking units for the original buyers or owners, provided that they purchased their unit from an authorised dealer and registered their warranty in the required manner through OFYR Club at www.ofyr.club. This warranty covers manufacturing defects. It applies to the original buyers or owners of an OFYR

Cooking Units Corten and OFYR

Cooking Units Black provided that;

• They purchased their unit from an authorized dealer

• They assembled, used and maintained the OFYR

Cooking Unit according to the instructions in this manual.

NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY

• Wear, corrosion, deformation and discolouration of parts exposed to fi re;

• Corrosion and discolouration caused by external infl uences;

• Visual irregularities inherent to the manufacturing process;

• Damages caused by not following our safety and setup-, intended use- and maintenance instructions/tips.

All wooden blocks are made from Teak wood. Teak’s high oil content, high tensile strength and tight grain make it particularly suitable where weather resistance is desired.

• Wood is a natural product and should therefore be stored indoors.

• Do not use the wooden boards as a chopping board. Using sharp objects causes irreparable damage.

• Do not use heavy objects as exerting large forces on the wooden block can cause irreparable damage.

• Before the fi rst use: Clean the worktop thoroughly with a mild detergent.

• Use a damp cloth and mild detergent for daily cleaning. Make sure to clean the block after every use.

• Cleaning of persistent stains: use a damp cloth or a sponge (no scourer) with a mild detergent.

• Clean the wood in the direction of the nerve to retain the quality of the material.

• Dry the block after cleaning.

• All teak wooden boards have been treated with vegetable oil in order to protect them against dirt and humidity. We recommend that users of these products will also treat these boards at least once a year with such oil and in case of frequent use more often. Do not clean the wooden boards with corrosive substances or clean them in a dishwasher. The wooden block should be stored indoors, in a dry place with low humidity. Large temperature diff erences and humidity may cause the wood to warp.

Ceramics are industrially manufactured, baked products. A print is added to the top layer of clay, the main component, which then is baked on an extremely high temperature. Distinctive element of ceramics are its very practical characteristics: it is hygienic and resistant to stains, scratches and heat.

• Ceramics are weather proof and can be stored outdoors on a permanent basis.

• Ceramics are a very compact and tough mass, making it relatively vulnerable for impact damaging. Therefore, be careful with for example heavy objects, because the impact of these falling on a worktop might cause irreparable damage.

• We recommend using a cutting board to prevent your knives from getting blunt.

• Avoid contact with acetone and with extremely aggressive cleaning agents such as metal cleaners, drain cleaners and other products with a pH-value <2 or >12.

• Never stand on the ceramic block.

10.2 MAINTENANCE TIPS

• Before the fi rst use: remove possible glue residues with a plastic scraper and clean the worktop thoroughly with a mild detergent.

• Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent for daily cleaning. Make sure to clean the block after use.

• Clean the block more intensive a few times a year.

• Cleaning of persistent stains: use a mild detergent with a damp cloth or sponge (no scourer).

• Do not clean the blocks in the dishwasher.16 OFYR
