C - Safety and usage information
It is essential to comply with all local and national regulations, as well as EC stan-
dards, when using the Sigmafocus barbecue.
- The Sigmafocus is designed for outdoor use only and should be used exclusively
for cooking.
- The recommended fuel for the Sigmafocus 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 extin-
guish them, due to the risk of being burned by steam and of damaging the appliance
by the sudden temperature change.
- When the firebowl is locked in its horizontal opened position, lift the slotted rack for
the grill handle all the way to the stop so it is fully upright.
- The slotted racks on either side of the firebowl 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.
- The volume of the bottom half of the firebowl means that the ash does not need
to be emptied after each use. It is advisable to leave a small amount of ash at the
bottom of the firebowl 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.
- To avoid the firebowl filling with rainwater, ensure that it is closed once the embers
are completely extinguished and the appliance is cold.
- Do not touch the firebowl without the protection of heat-resistant oven gloves, or
try to close the barbecue 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.
