FCC BBQ Signature Combo FCC-G-18045-21, Instruction Manual

Page: 25 / 30

DURING BARBECUING
• Read page 25 for correct ammount of charcoal/briquettes.
• Do not overfill the grill with charcoal/briquettes. The grill can get too hot for
cooking and the heat can represent a risk to people or animals in the vicinity.
• Using too much charcoal can also damage the grill surface and thus the paint/
enamel. Paint and enamel are applied to protect the grill and damage can cause
rust.
• The grill can be extremely hot when in use. Use grill gloves when grilling.
• If flames should appear during use - due to fat, marinade or the like dripping
on to the charcoal – we recommend using a spray bottle to spray a little water on
the charcoal.
• When finished using the grill, do not douse the charcoal with large ammount s
of COLD water, as this can damage the paint/enamel. Use sand or spray small
ammount s of water gradually and repeatedly.
• Always check that all embers are extinguished before removing used
charcoal/briquettes. This can take up to 24 hours. Always dispose of ash and
charcoal residue where they cannot cause fire.
MAINTENANCE
• To make cleaning easy, cover the insides of the grill with aluminium foil before
pouring charcoal in. The shiny side of the foil should be up. Remember to
make holes in the foil for ventilation where necessary.
• Clean the grill grate with hot soapy water immediately after grilling. Dry the
grate well and store in a dry place when not in use. We recommend coating the
grate with food oil after cleaning, between each grilling and before storing.
• When storing the grill outdoors, keep it covered with a grill cover. Alternatively,
the grill can be stored indoors, in a garage or under a roof.
• WARNING! Always check that all the charcoal is extinguished and that there are
no embers left before putting a cover or on putting the grill away for storage.
• It is very important that the grill is totally dry before putting a cover on. Any
dampness shut inside the grill cover can cause condensation and thus rust.
• It is important that grill and grates are cleaned after every use and before
putting it into long-term storage. Residues of marinade, oils, fat etc. can cause
mould and accelerate rust.
• We recommend repairing cracks or scratches in the paint or enamel with
heat-resistant paint as soon as possible. Stocked by ironmongers, builder's
merchants, paint shops, workshops etc. Repair any rust as soon as possible
before it spreads.
