This document is an instruction manual for a LIVOO charcoal barbecue, model DOC172, version 1.4, in English. The manual provides general safety instructions, assembly instructions, and cleaning and storage guidelines for the appliance.
Function Description:
The LIVOO charcoal barbecue is designed for outdoor cooking using charcoal as fuel. It allows users to grill food by heating it over incandescent charcoal. The barbecue is intended for domestic use and should only be operated outdoors due to the risk of toxic smoke buildup indoors.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Fuel Type: Charcoal only.
- Maximum Charcoal Capacity: 1 kg.
- Installation: Must be installed on a stable horizontal support.
- Pre-heating: The barbecue must be heated and the fire kept incandescent for at least 30 minutes before the first cooking session.
- Safety Compliance: Firelighters used must comply with EN 1860-3.
- Combustible Material Distance: Do not use the barbecue within 50 meters of combustible materials (e.g., wood, treated wooden decks, patios, verandas).
Usage Features:
- Outdoor Use Only: The barbecue is strictly for outdoor use to prevent the accumulation of toxic smoke.
- Stable Placement: Ensure the barbecue is placed on a stable, horizontal surface before use.
- Charcoal Placement: Always place charcoal on top of the charcoal (lower) grate, not directly in the bottom of the bowl.
- Fuel Level: Do not fill the fire bowl above the level of the cooking grid.
- Ash Coating: Do not start cooking until the fuel has a coating of ash.
- No Movement During Operation: The barbecue should not be moved when operating due to high temperatures.
- No Spirit or Petrol: Never use spirit or petrol for lighting or relighting the charcoal. Only use compliant firelighters.
- Liquid Fire Starter Precaution: If using a liquid fire starter, remove any liquid that may have flowed through the bottom ventilation holes before lighting.
- Complete Assembly: Ensure all parts of the grill are in place and the ash pan is properly secured before use.
- Wind Conditions: Do not use the grill during strong winds.
- Heat-Resistant Tools: Use proper tools with long, heat-resistant handles and heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves while cooking.
- Fat/Moisture Content: Be aware that food with high fat or moisture content may tend to ignite or splash.
- No Aluminum Foil: Do not cover the grill rack with aluminum foil, barbecue dishes, or other items, as this can cause irreparable damage due to heat buildup.
- Carbon Monoxide Warning: Do not use the barbecue in confined or habitable spaces (houses, tents, caravans, campers, boats) due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Cleaning: The barbecue should be thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis.
- Food Contact Surfaces: It is essential to keep the appliance clean at all times as it comes into direct contact with food. Refer to the manual's cleaning paragraph for specific instructions.
- Cooling Before Cleaning: Allow the appliance and accessories to cool down completely before cleaning them.
- No Abrasive Cleaners: Never use abrasive cleaners on any part of the barbecue.
- No Water on Hot Barbecue: Do not use water on the barbecue while it is hot, as this will damage the finish.
- No Immersion: Never immerse the barbecue in water.
- Ash Removal: Do not remove ashes until the charcoal has fully burned and is completely extinguished.
- Storage: Do not store the grill until ashes and charcoal are fully extinguished.
- Electrical Wires: Keep electrical wires and cords away from hot surfaces and high traffic areas.
- Flare-ups: Do not use water to control flare-ups or extinguish charcoal.
- First Use Preparation: Before first use, clean with a soft damp cloth. Place on a level and stable surface. Pre-heat the appliance for a few minutes without food to remove any protective coating. A small smoke emission is normal; ensure the room is well aerated.
- Hot Surface Warning: Do not clean or touch the metal parts of the product when it is still hot.
