B - 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 sufcient 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 distribu-
tion platform).
• The security distances for ammable materials must be respected. EC standard EN 1860-1
requires a distance of at least 300 mm between the barbecue and any ammable materials.

C - 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 rened 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 exibility 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 manu-
facturer are authorised.

D - Operating instructions
• The rst 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 manufac-
turing 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 instruc-
tions for these products. They should not be stored near the barbecue.
• It is imperative to let the re 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.
E – Optional extras
Coated polyester cover for protecting the barbecue in winter.
