3.4.3 Time needed to heat the cooking plate

The outdoor temperature is an important factor for the time needed to heat the cooking plate
properly. This time can range from 25-30 minutes during spring and summer to 45-60 minutes
during fall and winter. The cooking plate is 12mm thick, so it needs a decent fi re to heat the
plate properly.

3.4.4 Removing factory oil from the cooking plate

Once the cooking plate is really well heated, drizzle on olive oil and spread it with a kitchen towel. The olive
oil will mix with the factory oil and will make it easy to remove the factory oil. If olive oil is put on the plate
when this is not well heated, what comes off is a sticky black substance that is not easy to remove. Drizzle
on olive oil 2-3 times. Then scrape down the cooking plate with the supplemented spatula and push the
scrapings into the fi re. We also have a PRO spatula in our product range for intensive use in a professional
environment. Once all you can manage to scrape off is beige scrapings, the cooking plate is clean and ready
for use. Simply drizzle on olive oil once more and spread it out and start cooking!

3.4.5 Managing the fire

Depending on the weather conditions and the outdoor temperature, the cooking plate will reach a
temperature of around 300˚C on the inner edge and around 200˚C on the outer edge. To do so, build a fi re
using the wood cabin method mentioned above. Once your initial fi re's wood is burning properly, spread
out the hot mass under the edges of the cooking plate and add new wood in the middle with the bark
facing up. Repeat the process for the entire duration that you wish to keep the cooking plate hot. You will
notice that it will take a lot more wood during autumn and winter to keep the cooking plate hot than during
spring and summer. If there is a breeze, the cooking plate will be hottest where the wind leaves the OFYR
Cooking Unit, i.e. in the direction of the wind. You can compensate for this by pushing more hot coals into
the opposite direction.

EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE AND REMOVING ASHES

5.1 EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE

The best way is to let the fi re die out on its own. For safety reasons the fl ames can be covered by the Snuff er
100. However, the fi re will not die out when the Snuff er is put on the plate, because there is still some air
supply. When covering the fi re for a longer period of time with the Snuff er, such will cause strong smoke
formation. When then removing the Snuff er, such might lead to sudden and big fl ames due to sudden air
supply. Hot ashes and charcoal that remain from the burned down fi rewood, can be covered by the Snuff er
in order to avoid these to be blown away.
