Tips:
Prepare the pizza on the cast-iron baking tray and use
baking paper underneath the pizza. This will prevent the
pizza from sticking to the baking plate.
Add some charcoal and do not use any briquettes in the
meanwhile to create that typical wood-fired oven taste.
Use a cast-iron bread pot for baking homemade bread.
Do not place the cast-iron bread pot on the hot coals.
The chance of burning will be too high.
6. FIREPLACE:
Have you finished preparing delicious dishes and have you
enjoyed an amazing barbecue with your KLAUWE? Take the
grill out of the KLAUWE with the KLAUWE Grill Lifter. Place
the fire basket at least at level 4 with the KLAUWE lifting
stick as described in paragraph 1. Now place some chunks
of dry wood, preferably oak, beech and/or birch, on the
smouldering charcoal, and enjoy the lovely fire.
Caution: the wood will start to smoke before the
flames arise. Therefore, you should start with
some thinner chunks before putting on the thicker/larger
chunks on the fire basket. Make sure the chunks/trunks of
wood remain within the fire basket and do
NOT(!)
touch and/
or go over the edge of the oil drum. The latter could damage
the coating on the inside and outside of the oil drum. This is
NOT(!)
covered by the warranty.
Tip:
Use the KLAUWE Chimney during this phase of
your barbecue session. You can place this unit on
your KLAUWE. This unit is designed to create better
combustion and to cause less smoke to come out of the
KLAUWE, which creates a pleasant atmosphere. The
KLAUWE Chimney is a separate item and is available at
www.klauwe.com. (For more information, please visit our
website www.klauwe.com.)

PUTTING OUT THE KLAUWE:
IMPORTANT: When you want to put out the fire in
your KLAUWE, always do it with care! How do you
do that? Close the airlocks on the front and at the back and
close the air vent in the lid. Place the fire basket at level 4 or
5 (with level 1 being the top level). Let the temperature drop
to below 150 degrees Celsius. Only then should you close
the lid! When you leave the airlocks open, and in the worst
case scenario, your fire basket is at level 2, and you shut the
lid immediately, there is a chance that the lid will become so
hot that the black powder coating will be damaged. This is
not covered by the warranty!
FIRST TIME USING THE KLAUWE?
We advise you to properly heat up the KLAUWE during its
first use. Start the fire and leave it for around 30 minutes at
high temperature with the airlock at the bottom of the front
and the back and the air vent in the lid completely open.
Pay attention: make sure the grill does not come into direct
contact with glowing charcoal/briquettes or a flame. The grill
has been made with the utmost care, but could deform after
direct contact with a heat source.
Clean your grill after every use, with a stainless steel pan
sponge for example. This will keep your grill nice and clean
and will prolong the durability of your grill.
CLEANING:
While using the KLAUWE, a layer will develop on the inside
of the wall over time. This layer will protect the coating and
enhance the convective heat effect in the KLAUWE. It is best
to clean the inside wall with paper towels when the KLAUWE
is still lukewarm. This will help you to remove any undesired
residues. Ashes will fall through the fire basket and pile up at
the bottom of the KLAUWE. By removing the fire basket and
the grill of the KLAUWE, you can simply empty the KLAUWE
above a trash can. You can remove any ash residue that is
stuck to the inside of the KLAUWE with a duster and/or paper
towel. Do not use water or stainless steel brushes. This could
damage the wall and powder coating. Never use scouring
pads or tools to clean the outside. To keep the outside
clean, it is advisable to use Neutral Dishwashing Detergent
(PH neutral). Aggressive cleaning agents could damage
the powder coating on the outside. To protect the KLAUWE
against damage, we recommend the protective cover that is
especially developed for the KLAUWE (Dry KLAUWE). It is
made of material that is also used to make roofs for cabriolets
in the automotive industry. This top quality cover is water-
resistant and UV resistant. Of course, it’s still advisable to
store the KLAUWE in a dry place.
We wish you the best of luck! If you have any unique pictures
and experiences, we would love to see those. After all, we’re
just as enthusiastic about the KLAUWE as you are.
