ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

- It is essential to comply with all local and national regulations, as well as EC standards, when installing the Diagofocus barbecue.
 - The appliance should be placed on a surface with sufficient load-bearing capacity. If the existing surface does not meet this precondition, it will be necessary to take adequate measures to allow it to support the appliance (for example, the installation of a load distribution platform).
 - The security distances for flammable materials must be respected. EC standard EN 1860-1 requires a distance of at least 300 mm between the barbecue and any flammable materials.
 - Once the packaging is removed, the barbecue is ready to use (see section C). It is strictly prohibited to burn any of the packaging in the barbecue (plastic, wood or polystyrene).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 - The first time the barbecue is used, it is essential to keep the charcoal burning for at least half an hour with the grill in place and the metal ends of the barbecue tools over the grill, before any food is cooked, in order to eliminate any residual grease or dust from manufacturing or packaging.
 -The quantity of charcoal used per barbecue should not be over 1.5 kg. It is possible to add charcoal to the barbecue during cooking as long as the total amount does not exceed this weight.
 -  Ignition appliances and solid and liquid lighter fuels used for lighting the barbecue must comply with EC standard EN1860-3.
 - Solid or liquid lighter fuels can be used in the quantities indicated on the usage instructions for these products. They should not be stored near the barbecue.
 - It is imperative to let the fire burn for a minimum of 30 minutes until a layer of ash covers the charcoal before commencing cooking.
 - During use, it is advised to wear heat-resistant oven gloves, to avoid wearing clothing with wide, loose sleeves, and above all, not to lean over glowing charcoal.
 -It is not necessary to cook at extremely high temperatures. The best results are obtained with medium temperatures to avoid charring the food and overheating the barbecue.

 SAFETY AND USAGE INFORMATION

- It is essential to comply with all local and national regulations, as well as EC standards, when using the Diagofocus barbecue.
- Care should be taken when the barbecue is in use as certain parts, particularly the external surfaces, become hot. • The Diagofocus is designed exclusively for outdoor use.
- The recommended fuel for the barbecue is refined charcoal (with high carbon content) that complies with EC standard EN 1860-2.
-Do not use the barbecue in strong winds. Do not pour water over hot coals to extinguish them, due to the risk of being burned by steam and of damaging the appliance by the sudden temperature change.
- The notches on either side of the barbecue allow three positions for the grill height.
- The different levels for the grill allow for flexibility in cooking temperatures. The highest level is used mainly to keep food hot.
- It is advisable to leave a small amount of ash at the bottom of the barbecue in order to minimise direct contact between the charcoal and the appliance itself.
- As charcoal can easily absorb moisture and burn badly as a consequence, it should always be stored in a dry location.
-The barbecue is not designed to withstand prolonged bad weather (snow, hail, heavy rain) or to be kept outdoors unprotected for long periods. It is recommended to store the barbecue in a sheltered place when it is not in use, in case it is not protected by a cover. Before it is put away, ensure the embers are completely extinguished and the appliance is cold. 
 Do not touch the barbecue without the protection of heat-resistant oven gloves. Do not try to put it away when the embers are not completely extinguished or when the barbecue is still lit.
 -It is possible to use a hand bellows to aid in lighting the charcoal.
 - The Diagofocus should not be used as an incinerator. Burning waste (plastic, cardboard, crates and so on) could lead to thermal shock, damaging the appliance. Furthermore, the constituents of waste are often pollutants.
 - When the ashes are completely cold, they can be emptied out by removing the ash tray using its handle.
 - It is prohibited to modify the appliance in any way. Only spare parts supplied by the manufacturer are authorised.
