Do you have a question about the Livoo DOC271 and is the answer not in the manual?
This document provides an instruction manual for a Livoo barbecue pizza oven, designed to offer a versatile outdoor cooking experience. The appliance combines the traditional functionality of a barbecue with the added capability of a pizza oven, allowing users to prepare a variety of grilled foods and delicious pizzas in an outdoor setting. Its design emphasizes ease of use and safety, ensuring that users can enjoy their cooking moments with confidence.
The Livoo barbecue pizza oven is a dual-purpose outdoor cooking appliance. Its primary function is to serve as a charcoal barbecue, enabling users to grill various foods. Additionally, it features a dedicated pizza oven component, allowing for the preparation of pizzas with the distinct smoky flavor imparted by charcoal. The appliance is designed for outdoor use only, providing a robust and stable platform for cooking. It operates by burning charcoal or charcoal briquettes, which generate the heat required for both grilling and baking. The design incorporates ventilation openings to ensure proper airflow and combustion, which are crucial for maintaining consistent temperatures and efficient fuel burning. The appliance is equipped with a charcoal holder (fire grate) to prevent direct contact between the charcoal and the bottom of the tank, ensuring proper heat distribution and preventing damage. The overall structure is built to withstand the high temperatures associated with charcoal cooking, making it a durable addition to any outdoor living space.
To ensure safe and effective use, several key features and operational guidelines are provided. Before any cooking begins, the barbecue pizza oven must be placed on a flat, level, stable, and heat-resistant surface. This stability is paramount to prevent accidents during operation, especially given the high temperatures the appliance reaches. The fuel used must be charcoal or charcoal briquettes that comply with the EN1860-2 standard. It is critical not to exceed 50% of the tank's maximum capacity with charcoal, as overfilling can lead to excessively high temperatures, rapid deterioration of the vessel, and potential hazards such as burns or fire.
For lighting, only solid fire starters that comply with EN 1860-3 should be used; liquid firelighters or fire lighting gel are strictly prohibited due to safety risks. Users should wear protective gloves when lighting the appliance and ensure that any vents (if present) are wide open to facilitate airflow and accelerate combustion. A crucial safety step is to allow the barbecue pizza oven to heat up and the fuel to glow for at least 30 minutes before the first cooking session. Before placing food on the cooking grate, a layer of ash must cover the fuel, indicating that the charcoal has reached the optimal cooking temperature.
When reloading the barbecue pizza oven, users must wear suitable protective gloves, remove all food from the cooking grate, and then remove the grate itself to add more recommended fuels. Firelighters should not be added during reloading. It is important never to grill food directly in flames; instead, wait until the fire starters are completely burned out and a layer of ash covers the fuel. The appliance is intended for private use only and should not be used at public events or in public places. Users are advised not to wear loose clothing when operating the barbecue pizza oven to prevent accidental ignition. The appliance should never be left unattended during use, especially when children and pets are nearby, as it becomes very hot and poses a burn risk. Moving the appliance during use is also strictly prohibited. Furthermore, the barbecue pizza oven must not be used in confined or habitable spaces such as houses, sheds, caravans, tents, camper vans, garages, arbours, or boats, due to the risk of fire, suffocation, and carbon monoxide poisoning. It should also not be used near flammable materials or substances, maintaining a minimum distance of 1.5 meters from combustible materials.
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and safe operation of the Livoo barbecue pizza oven. After each cooking session, it is imperative to allow the fuel to burn out completely and the entire appliance to cool down before attempting any cleaning or storage. This cooling period is critical to prevent burns and ensure safe handling. Once cooled, the pan and/or ash pan should be emptied.
Cleaning the barbecue pizza oven and its utensils after each use is vital to prevent the accumulation of highly flammable and toxic grease deposits, which can pose a fire risk. When cleaning the cooking grate or the pan, users should avoid using sharp objects or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the surfaces. A strong degreaser is recommended for effective cleaning.
To prevent rust and rapid deterioration of the materials, it is important not to leave standing water in the pan. For long-term storage or when the appliance is not in use, especially in fine weather, protecting it with a cover is recommended. This helps shield it from rain and moisture, which can accelerate wear and tear. The appliance should always be stored in a dry and sheltered place. Before storing or cleaning, users must always allow the appliance to cool completely. It is also recommended to empty the ashes 24 hours after using the barbecue pizza oven to ensure they are fully cooled and safe to dispose of. The maximum amount of charcoal used should not exceed 1.5 kg. While the barbecue pizza oven is manufactured to avoid sharp edges, users should still exercise care when handling all parts to prevent injury. Any protective packaging should be removed and kept away from children. The manufacturer reserves the right to make modifications without advance notice, but these instructions are designed to provide comprehensive guidance for safe and enjoyable use.
