with all local, national and European regulations. Always use
the personal protection devices and other means of protection
provided for by law.
2.2 INFORMATION FOR THE USER
Prepare the barbecue’s place of installation in accordance
with local, national and European regulations. The bbq is an
appliance that becomes hot due to its nature and remains hot
for a long time even after it is shut off. Before assembly
product follow below mentioned requirement
To avoid unpleasant smoke downdrafts and for a correct
usage, there should be no obstacles, such as trees, buildings,
etc., closer than 6 metres from the flue;
For safety reasons can be used no more than 3 pieces of
extensions cubes to improve the draught of chimney;
The barbecue should be built on a solid and ample concrete
base sufficiently large and resistant to hold the weight of the
barbecue and make sure it is perfectly level.
Is possible that elements have a little differences into
dimensions, which are tolerated due to the kind of material,
they have to be adjusted during assembly and are not
accepted as claim.
Efflorescence is not considered a claim, cause it is a natural
phenomenon which appears as white spots on elements. It is
due to humidity (rain, snow, ect.), it is a normal reaction of
products with cement, and it could be more evident in some
particularly wet Countries. Usually it is dissolved by rain within
2 years.
- According to current regulations UNI EN 1860-1 some
cracks may appear but they do not affect the quality and the
functioning of the product, and could not be considered a

6 SUGGESTIONS FOR BAKING
Light up the fire in the back part of the oven and keep the door
closed. Open the combustion air register of the oven’s door.
Heat the oven slowly. Burning a slow fire for the first time (2
kg. of small pieces and dry wood) to avoid thermal shocks
which could cause cracks in the structure.
The temperature of the oven depends on the fire lighted. In
any case it is necessary about 1 hour to reach the right
cooking temperature (about 250° C and baking room clearer
). The temperature is shown on the black scale of the
thermometer, except on Cap i 2 and Diva with oven which
is the ed one. The baking methods, the temperature and
times may vary in a widely, depending on the food. The
instructions given apply in general to the baking of pizza,
bread, cakes, etc….
As soon as the oven reaches a sufficient temperature and the
fire dies down, open the oven and quickly clean the floor by
pushing the residual embers and ashes to a corner. If the
flames are still too high and there is no time to wait, eliminate
them by removing any still unburnt wood. Close the smokes
register in order to avoid heat dissipation. Set the pizza or
bread to bake directly on it. If you are still not experienced with
baking food in the oven, we suggest you set the food down on
a normal oven tray and after placing the food in the oven close
the door quickly. The cooking process can be followed
through the inspection port. When the food is baked, remove
it from the oven with the suitable utensils (optional).
