Any corrosion that does develop can be removed using steel wool.

In the event of excessive corrosion (see fig.), we recommend polishing

its surface with a wire brush attached to a drill. It is best to heat the

cooking plate before-hand, because that will loosen up the layer of

corrosion. Once the cooking plate has been thoroughly polished,

you will be able to wipe away the polishing residue with a cloth.

Once you treat the cooking plate with oil, it will be good as new again.

n order to properly protect your cooking plate from corrosion, you

must also place an appropriate rainproof cover over your Dragonfly

whenever it is left outdoors. To prevent the fire bowl from getting

clogged, we recommend that you remove the ashes from the fire

bowl after every use.

Wood

For optimum user comfort, we recommend using dry wood to prevent

smoke formation during cooking. Moreover, kiln-dried wood is much

easier to light. Stack the pieces of wood two by two, with the bark

facing outwards to further prevent smoke formation. Kiln-dried beech

wood is best, because it burns down to a mass of embers that heat

up the cooking plate optimally. This mass of embers is easily shifted

around if you want to direct the heat elsewhere. When you light the

fire and add new wood to the fire, it will generally smoke for a bit

until it catches fire properly.

Initial use

Upon initial use, it is important to light a smaller fire for roughly

30 minutes to allow the cooking plate to settle properly. During

manufacture, the middle of the cooking plate was pressed down

just slightly. When the cooking plate is heated, it will be pressed

down even further, and if you light too big a fire during your initial

use of your Dragonfly, this may cause the cooking plate to be

pressed down too far during future use. it is very important to prepare

the cooking plate properly using the aforementioned process. In some

cases, the cooking plate may instead bulge upwards in the middle a

nd thus become convex. This means the steel is incorrectly stressed.

If this happens, please contact your dealer. If you light a fire that is too

big using wood that reaches very high temperatures, such as the kind

of hardwood that is used in construction, this may cause the cooking

plate to warp entirely. We do not accept warranty claims for any

damage resulting from such incorrect usage. All Dragonfly cooking

plates are treated with oil during manufacture for protection against

corrosion. Once you have prepped the cooking plate properly using

a small fire, you can start building a larger fire. Considering the fact

that Dragonfly cooking plate tops are 10mm thick, it takes quite a

sizeable fire to get them heated through properly. Once the cooking

plate is well heated, drizzle on olive oil and spread it with a

kitchen towel.
