3
The use of alcohol or drugs that are available with or
●
without prescription can inuence the ability of the user
to correctly install or safely use the KLAUWE.
Do not use spirit, gas or other ammable uids to light or
●
relight charcoal! Only use lighters that comply with EN
1860-3!
Do not use the KLAUWE within 1 metre of ammable
●
materials. Flammable materials contain, but are not
limited to, wood or processed wooden oors, patios and
porches.
●
Do not use the KLAUWE when there are strong winds.
●
Do not wear clothes with loose sleeves when lighting or
using the KLAUWE.
●
Never touch the grill, the water ring and the re basket or
the ashes, charcoal or the drum to check if they are hot.
●
Always place the charcoal on top/in the re basket. Do
not place any charcoal directly in the bottom of the drum.
●
Do not hang the lid on the handle of the KLAUWE.
●
Never throw away hot coals in a place where people
could walk over them or where they could cause a re
hazard.
●
Never throw away the ashes or coals before they have
completely cooled down.
●
Do not remove the ashes until all the charcoal has
completely burned up and has cooled down completely
and the drum has cooled down.
●
Keep electrical wires and cables away from the hot
surfaces of the grill and away from places where people
are walking.
●
When you use your KLAUWE as replace, make sure
that there is NO wood touching the drum. This could
damage the drum.
●
Use heat resistant barbecue gloves while using the
KLAUWE, lifting with the KLAUWE lifting stick, adjusting
the airlock at the front and back of the KLAUWE,
adding charcoal (and charcoal briquettes), changing
the dierent cooking levels in the drum and using the
thermometer or the lid.
C. Finding the right location:
Only use the KLAUWE outdoors. When you use the
KLAUWE indoors, even in a garage or shed, there is a risk
of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Pay attention to the following when choosing a location:
●
Do not place the device underneath an overhanging
structure (porch, lean-to, etc.) or leaves when using it.
●
Place the device on a rm and stable surface. Never
place the device on a moving vehicle (boat, trailer, etc.).
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING:
This part contains denitions of a number of things to which
you should always pay attention. These points of concern
must be remembered at all times and must always be
observed.
A. The drum of the KLAUWE:
The drum of the KLAUWE is a new drum and has therefore
never been used before. The drum is made of thicker metal
than usual and features a special coating. The drum is an
industrial product and in principle only meant for industrial
use. KLAUWE is therefore not responsible for any minor
damage (such as scratches and dents) on the drum that was
caused during the production process and/or transport and/or
the use of the available sealing ring.
Even though the drum has been designed to
work in the environment that is appropriate for
using the KLAUWE, the user ought to keep the KLAUWE
clean, maintain it, keep it dry and protect it. After using
the KLAUWE, you ought to rst cool down the KLAUWE
completely. Only then are you supposed to close the airlock
on the front completely, place the lid on the top and close the
air vents on the front and back completely, close the lid on
top, and also the air vent on top of the lids must be closed.
It would be best to prevent the KLAUWE from getting wet
or exposing the KLAUWE to direct rainfall. It is advisable
to place the KLAUWE on a dry and ventilated place after
use and when it is not in use. For optimum protection of
the KLAUWE, we advise using the KLAUWE protective
cover (the Dry KLAUWE). Please note: The cover is water-
resistant, but the KLAUWE should be stored in a dry place.
The inside of the KLAUWE can become black-brown and
greasy. This is not a problem and is the result of normal use.
This layer oers further protection for the inside of the drum.
B. UV protection:
The KLAUWE has a matte black powder coating. When
you decide to leave your KLAUWE outside, make sure the
KLAUWE is protected against UV (sunlight). Sunlight and
UV radiation can cause the colour of your KLAUWE to turn
slightly grey. This possible discoloration is not covered by
the warranty and should therefore be prevented.
ASSEMBLE THE KLAUWE:
The KLAUWE is almost completely assembled when
delivered to you. The KLAUWE is therefore almost ready for
use.
A. Safety instructions:
Do not modify the KLAUWE when you have taken it out
●
of the box or before using the KLAUWE or after using the
KLAUWE.
You cannot modify any parts of the KLAUWE because
●
this is very dangerous.
Always follow the assembly instructions with care.
●
The user is responsible for the correct use of the
●
KLAUWE. Damage caused by incorrect use is not
covered by the warranty.

B. Prepare the KLAUWE before use:
Place the KLAUWE on an even, horizontal, rm, stable
●
and clean surface.
The packaging materials and parts that are on the drum
●
of your new KLAUWE when you receive it are to be
taken out of the packaging and out of the drum.
Take the dierent parts out of the packaging and
●
assemble the necessary parts, such as the re basket,
the grill, the water ring and the water reservoir.
You will nd the instructions in the second part of this user
manual.
THE KLAUWE IS READY FOR USE:
The KLAUWE is equipped with the Multi-Level-Cooking-
System®. This means that you can cook on dierent levels
that you can change while the KLAUWE is in use. For the
correct use of the MLC-System®, we would like to refer to
the second part of this user manual.
When you know where you can place the KLAUWE parts
(such as the re basket, water ring and water reservoir and
the grill) on the right levels (Multi-Level-Cooking), you can
go on to the next part, namely lighting the KLAUWE.
ALWAYS use protection when holding hot parts or coming
near hot parts of the KLAUWE! (When using the KLAUWE
lifting stick, you should also wear extra protection.) You
need charcoal, charcoal briquettes, lighting products and a
long match or lighter.
A. Which charcoal should I use?
Light the KLAUWE preferably with classic charcoal or real
charcoal briquettes. The market for briquettes is largely
unregulated and they can contain unhealthy substances
when they are not made of charcoal. The advantage of
good charcoal is that the taste of the prepared dishes will
benet from it. When the KLAUWE has been lit, you can
add the briquettes, or you can do it the other way around.
Use good-quality charcoal to light the KLAUWE. Preferably
use charcoal that complies with EN 1860-2. Good-quality
Charcoal consists of very large, shiny pieces and does not
produce much dust. Carefully close the bag of charcoal
before storing it. Always keep the charcoal in a dry place.
Do not store the charcoal in a basement or damp shed, for
example.
Caution! During use, the KLAUWE may leave a
print on the ground. If you want to prevent this,
because you just installed a new pavement, for example, we
advise you to place your KLAUWE in a dierent spot (or to
place a few spare tiles underneath your KLAUWE).
USEFUL TIPS:
A. Prevent food from burning:
To prevent your food from burning, you should not start
grilling when there are still ames left in the re basket. Wait
until the ames in the burning charcoal have died down and
you have a pile of glowing charcoal. So, you should just be
patient and take your time.
B. Prevent food from sticking:
You do not want food to stick to your grill. You should
therefore keep in mind the following to prevent food from
sticking to the grill.
Grease the food with a brush before placing it on the
●
grill.
Do not turn the food too quickly. Let it heat up rst.
●
C. Avoid aring:
Flaring is when ames suddenly shoot up out of the re
basket during grilling. These sudden ares are often caused
by dripping fat or dripping marinade. While grilling, aring
can occur. This is normal. However, too much aring
increases the temperature in the drum and can ignite
accumulated fat.
Make sure the re basket is clean before you start
●
grilling. It is recommended that you empty the re basket
after every use and clean it afterwards. Do not forget
to dry the re basket. Remove excess fat and excess
marinade from the meat.
If you place the meat directly above the re, it will start
●
aring sooner.
D. Creating the right smoke avour:
When you use the KLAUWE to smoke food, you are of
course aiming for the best result. There are a few important
things you should keep in mind:
Use large wood chips/chunks and not very ne and small
●
wood chips.
Before use, you should soak the large wood chips in water
●
for at least an hour (but wine and/or liquor is also an option
of course).
Place the wood chips directly on the charcoal and do not
●
use any “special wood chip cups”. Let nature do its work.
Wood chips are “burnt up” at a certain moment, but don’t
●
be too enthusiastic in adding more wood chips. Adding
one portion of wood chips is usually enough. Too many
wood chips will create a smoke avour that is too strong.
Tip:
●
To create a nice aroma and smoke avour, you could also
use old dried grape vines.
E. The right degree of humidity:
The KLAUWE is equipped with an RVS water ring and
a matching RVS water reservoir. The water in the water
reservoir helps create the right degree of humidity in the
drum, so the dishes will not dry out as quickly and the
temperature in the drum will remain constant.
Of course, you could ll the water reservoir with water, but
adding herbs (such as fresh thyme and fresh rosemary) in
combination with a slice (or slices) of lemon, for example,
will add a spicy avour. You could also add wine and/or
liquor if you like. Do not start with cold water in the water
reservoir, but ll it with hot water from a water boiler or kettle.
While adding water to the water reservoir later while you are
cooking, it is best to use hot water. This will have a positive
eect on the desired temperature in the drum.
