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
1
(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! Keep children and pets away from an appliance 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.
Do not use the appliance when it is faulty or damaged.
•
Keep a bucket of water or sand at hand when using the
•
appliance, especially on very hot days and in dry areas.
Check where the nearest first aid kits and fire extinguishers
•
are. Make sure you know how to use them.
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:
Place the appliance at least three meters away from any
•
building, in an open and well-ventilated area.
Make sure the smoke cannot cause any damage or
•
nuisance. Do not place the appliance near open windows.
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...).
Put the appliance on a heat resistant surface. If you put it on
•
the lawn or another heat sensitive surface, put a concrete
slab under the appliance.
Make sure the wind cannot overturn the appliance.
•
To prevent formation of rust on stainless steel, avoid
1
contact with chlorine, salt and iron. We recommend not
using the appliance near the coast, near railways or near
swimming pools.
3.4 Use the appliance as intended
Do not use the appliance to dry clothes or other objects.
•
Only use the heating element of the appliance as heat
•
source.
Never burn wood, charcoal or any other material in the
•
appliance.
Never put gasoline or another flammable liquid in the
•
appliance.
3.5 Mind the electrics
Only connect the appliance to the mains when it is fully
•
assembled and ready for use.
Always disconnect the appliance from the mains after using
•
it.
Do not use the power cord when it is damaged. Get it
•
replaced by the manufacturer or importer.
Only use an earthed extension cable, intended for outdoor
•
use.
We recommend using an extension cable shorter than five
•
meters. Using a longer cable results in power loss and
reduces the capacity of the grill.
4 ABOUT 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 °C).
Cold smoking is smoking food at a very low temperature
•
(max. 25 °C), so the food is not cooked in the process. Cold
smoking is used to flavour and preserve food.
Because the Barbecook Otto is designed for hot smoking,
0
this manual only includes instructions for hot smoking.
You cannot use the appliance for cold smoking.
