WHICH TYPE OF OIL SHOULD I USE?
The first few times you light your OFYR cooking unit, we recommend using olive oil. Olive oil has a lower combustion
®
point, which will help the cooking plate get a nice brown-black hue. After the first few uses, you can start using natural
oil types like sunflower oil and groundnut oil, which have higher combustion points.
FOR HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN I COOK ON MY OFYR ?
®
The OFYR 100 cooking units allow you to cook for up to 50 people, depending on the type of food you are preparing.
®
For the OFYR 85 cooking units, the number of people you can cook for is 20 to 30 people.
®
WHICH TYPE OF WOOD SHOULD I USE ON MY OFYR ?
®
Various types of wood can be used on your OFYR cooking unit. Experience has shown that oven-dried beech wood
®
provides the best results, in part because it burns down to a mass of coals that keeps the cooking plate hot for a
longer time and that can easily be shifted around. Ash wood has almost the same qualities. Oak works less well,
because it produces a thinner type of ashes. Birch wood tends to burn up too quickly.
HOW MUCH WOOD WILL MY OFYR REQUIRE?
®
Your OFYR cooking unit will use up around two fully filled wood-carrying bags with a 50-litre capacity each on
®
average, depending on the weather conditions and the type of wood.
CAN I USE CHARCOAL INSTEAD OF WOOD?
Yes, you can use charcoal as fuel for your OFYR cooking unit. However, charcoal might not reach the same
®
temperatures as fire wood.
THERE ARE CHIPS ON MY COOKING PLATE; DOES THAT MEAN THE STEEL IS DAMAGED?
Cooking on your OFYR regularly will cause a layer of carbon residue to build up on the cooking plate. This layer
®
might come off in some places when the OFYR is not used for a while, resulting in chips forming. These chips can
®
simply be scraped off using the spatula. Then, just rub on a new layer of oil; a smooth carbon residue layer will
gradually build up once again.
MY COOKING PLATE BECAME CONVEX DURING THE INITIAL USE, SO NOW THE FAT RUNS OFF AT
THE OUTSIDE EDGE. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
During manufacturing, OFYR cooking plates were pressed down slightly in the middle, and they are further pressed
®
down slightly when first heated. In very rare cases, the cooking plate may bulge upwards and become convex.
If this happens, please contact your dealer.

ARE THERE ANY OFYR COVERS AVAILABLE?
®
Yes, there are two types of covers for every model. Our Ø50cm and Ø60cm snuffers are intended for extinguishing
fire, whereas our Ø85cm and Ø100cm covers are intended to protect the cooking plate of the OFYR 85 and 100
®
model when not in use for an extended period of time. The Ø85cm and Ø100cm covers do not protect against
corrosion because humidity can build between the cooking plate and the cover.
