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 (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! 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.
• Warning! Keep children and pets away from an appliance in use.
• Keep a bucket of water or sand at hand when using the appliance,
especially on very hot days and in dry areas.
• 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:
• Make sure the appliance is not under an overhanging structure (a
porch, a shelter...) or under foliage.

RECURRENT CONCEPTS

This part includes definitions of some less familiar concepts. These
concepts are used in several topics of the manual.

4.1 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.
If you want to use your appliance for cold smoking, you need
the Barbecook cold smoker (223.9840.160). This accessory
allows you to cold smoke all types of food in the Oskar.

4.2 Enamel

Some parts of the appliance are covered in a layer of melted glass,
called enamel. This enamel protects the underlying metal from
corrosion. Enamel is a high-quality material: it is resistant to rust, does
not fade under the influence of high temperatures and is very easy to
maintain.
Because the enamel is less flexible than the metal which it
covers, pieces of enamel can chip off when you handle the
appliance incorrectly. To avoid problems, be careful when
assembling enamelled parts and always maintain the enamel
as described further in this manual.
