4. Rinse out the interior of your grill with water (e.g. with a watering can). CAUTION: Make sure that no
water gets into the gas nozzles.
5. Apply a suitable cleaning agent for grill interiors (barbecue cleaner or dishwashing detergent) to the
inside of the grill and let it soak for the amount of time indicated by the manufacturer. CAUTION: Do
not exceed the recommended application time of the cleaning agent used. Otherwise the material
can become discoloured or damaged.
6. Remove stubborn stains in the interior of your grill with a sponge or a wooden scraper.
7. Thoroughly rinse you grill with water, let it dry completely, and carefully clean the burners and nozzle
outlets with a dry cotton cloth (or a brush).
8. Insert the parts back into the grill.
CLEANING THE EXTERIOR
1. Clean the exterior of your grill with a soft cotton cloth, warm water, and mild detergent. CAUTION: Do
not use a microfiber cloth to clean the stainless steel surfaces – this would scratch the material.
2. Thoroughly dry the surfaces with a soft cotton cloth and apply a suitable stainless steel cleaner as
needed. CAUTION: Take note of the application time indicated by the manufacturer of the stainless
steel cleaner and do not exceed it.
3. Wipe off any residue of the stainless steel cleaner with a clean, soft cotton cloth. CAUTION: Make
sure that you have completely removed all residue of the stainless steel cleaner before you use your
grill again. Otherwise it can stain and discolour or damage the material.
MAINTENANCE OF THE CAST IRON GRIDS
The grids are enameled. This layer protects against rust and prevents food from sticking to the grids.
Despite this protective layer, the grids can absorb and release grease and moisture. It is therefore advisa-
ble to let the grids burn-in as well.
BURNING-IN THE GRIDS
Cast iron grids must be given some time to burn in to protect the metal from rust and enable a non-stick
surface. The burn-in process of cast iron can be performed in 3 simple steps:
1. Clean the cast iron grids with warm soapy water, rinse well, and wipe dry.
2. Grease the grids completely. Use an unrefined oil or fat with a low smoke point. WARNING: Never use
olive oil or whey products - these become bitter when burned, have an unpleasant smell and cause
heavy smoke.
3. Place the grids on the grill and set the main burners (not the back burner) to "HI". Let them burn-in for
45 minutes at the highest temperature with the lid closed. This burns the grease permanently onto
the iron thus creating a protective patina.
