NOTE: Brass brushes are incredibly soft and therefore not suitable for cast iron and stainless steel grids.
They can also lead to staining and a residual rust film.
Once your grill has fully cooled down, empty and clean the grease drain plate and drip tray. If you covered
your tray with aluminium foil, replace it.
CLEANING THE INTERIOR
To clean the inside of your grill, start by removing the grids, take out the grease drain plate, and remove
coarse dirt. Empty and clean the grease drip tray.
1. To clear coarse dirt out of the flame distributors, take them out and let them soak in warm water with
a little dishwashing detergent for 1 hour. Then clean them with a sponge, warm water, and dishwashing
detergent. You can also clean them in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
2. Release the safety clamps (by pressing down) from the burner heads and remove the stainless steel
burners from your grill.
3. Insert the grease drain plate (without the drip tray) into the grill again and place the empty bucket
beneath the opening.
4. Rinse out the interior of your grill with water (e.g. with a watering can). WARNING : 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.
WARNING : 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
Clean the exterior of your grill with a soft cotton cloth, warm water, and mild detergent.
WARNING: Do not use a microfiber cloth to clean the surfaces – this would scratch 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. Des-
pite this protective layer, the grids can absorb and release grease and moisture. It is therefore advisable to
let the grids burn-in as well.
