Frequently Asked Questions - FLG 34 A1 FLORABEST

How do I light the charcoal barbecue?

First, fill the charcoal container with about 0.2 kg of charcoal. Apply a 10 mm ring of fire gel on the center of the fire gel tray. Turn the control dial to MAX to power on the fan. Then hold a burning match to the fire gel until it ignites. Insert the charcoal container and place the grate. The fan must be on before lighting to avoid smothering the flame.

Can I use the barbecue indoors?

No, this barbecue is for outdoor use only. Using it indoors can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Always place it on a stable, non-flammable surface away from flammable materials.

How do I replace the batteries?

Turn the barbecue upside down. Open the battery compartment cover on the underside. Insert 4 AA batteries with correct polarity (see diagram inside). Close the cover until it clicks. Remove batteries if not used for long periods.

Why won't the charcoal light?

Ensure the fan is on by turning the control dial to MAX. If the fan does not work, check battery polarity or replace batteries. Also make sure the fire gel ring is within the stamped circle on the tray.

How do I clean the barbecue?

Wait until the barbecue is completely cool. Remove the grate, charcoal container, and grease tray. Wash the grate and grease tray with warm water and dish detergent. Clean the charcoal container with a brush or dry cloth. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What should I do if the barbecue gets too hot?

Reduce the fan speed by turning the control dial counterclockwise. This decreases airflow and lowers the temperature. If flames flare up, reduce air supply.

Can I use lighter fluid or petrol?

No, never use spirit or petrol. Only use firelighters complying with EN 1860-3. Fire gel is recommended for safe ignition.

Is the barbecue safe to use on a wooden table?

Do not place on textile surfaces. Ensure the surface is fireproof and stable. Maintain a 100 cm clearance from flammable materials. The housing stays cool but the grate and interior become very hot.

How do I store the barbecue?

After cleaning and cooling, store it in the included carrying bag. Remove batteries if storing for a long time. Keep in a dry, dust-free place.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 3-year warranty from the date of purchase. Keep the receipt as proof. The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, but not normal wear or misuse.

Inserting the batteries

The battery compartment (10) is located on the underside of the housing (8).

1. Turn the charcoal barbecue upside down and carefully place it on a sturdy and even surface.
2. Open the battery compartment cover (10). Using a finger or fingernail, reach from the outer edge under the latch of the battery compartment and pull it slightly in the direction of the arrow (◀).
3. Insert four AA batteries into the battery compartment (10). Always pay attention to the polarity.
4. Close the battery compartment cover (10). Make sure that the latch engages again so that the over cannot open and the batteries fall out accidentally.
5. Place the charcoal barbecue upright again. The charcoal barbecue is operational.

Getting started

When powering the barbecue on for the first time, have the barbecue glow for 30 minutes, before using it to prepare food.

Minor smoke development can occur when the device is heated first. For this reason, the device should be heated for 10 to 15 minutes prior to preparing grilled food for the first time.

1. Clean the stainless steel grate (1) using warm water and detergent. This removes dust and any packaging residue.
2. Place the device on an even, non-slip and dry surface.

8 - English

Warning

Do not use any other fuel than charcoal.

1. Apply a 10 mm thick ring of fire gel around the centre of the fire gel tray (5). The fire gel should be within the circle stamped on the fire gel tray (5). Otherwise, the flame will be smothered. Should the fire gel tray (5) move out of place, insert it again into the centre of the grease collection tray/reflector (6).
2. Turn the control dial (9) to the MAX position (clockwise until it stops) to power on the fan.

You must power on the fan prior to igniting the flame. Otherwise, the flame will be smothered.

1. Hold a burning match to the fire gel, until it burns.

Risk of burns!

Make sure not to burn yourself, when inserting the charcoal container (4)!

1. Place down the stainless steel grate (1) again. Turn the grate such that the two brackets (2) are aligned with the latches (7). Lock the stainless steel grate (1).

• Place the grilled food onto the stainless steel grate (1), as soon as the charcoal is covered with a layer of ash.
• If undesired flame formation occurs during charcoal glowing, reduce the air supply using the control dial (9). To do this, turn it in a counter-clockwise direction.

Next, you can prepare grilled dishes using your charcoal barbecue. With a little practice, you can regulate the fan speed and thus the heat using the control dial (9). This way, you can either grill your dishes crispier or cook them gently.

• You can prepare meat, fish, sausages, chicken and vegetables in a low-fat and health-conscious way.
  • Do not puncture meat to prevent moisture loss. Otherwise, it can become dry.

• Season the grilled food and turn it from time to time. We recommend using barbecue tongs. Brush fish additionally with butter.

• Once you are done grilling, switch the charcoal barbecue off. Turn the control dial (9) counterclockwise to the OFF position, until it engages.
