7. Maintenance and safety standards
7.1. Daily cleaning
Do not use chemical products or water to clean the inside of the Parrilla.
Lifting system
: Once cold, clean the entire surface of the
guide column
and the
drive shaft
with degreaser.
Grills:
Clean using the grill brush before and after each use.
Ash extraction:
Use the ash shovel to remove the ash. Once the ashes have completely
cooled down they can be disposed of or used as fertilizer.
WARNING
Do not dispose the ashes in a flammable-container or heat-deformable container.
7.2. Maintenance
Every six months, remove the protection casing from the gears and clean the gears, pulleys
and the lift system with degreaser. Once this cleaning has been carried out, grease the
entire system with special grease for high temperatures (minimum use temperature 300º).
It is recommended to review the status of the steel cable of the elevation system every two
years.
7.3. Special care

It is very important to keep the exhaust hood filters clean to avoid a build up
of soot, fat and creosote

Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors
that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cool oven flue and
exhaust hood of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining and exhaust hood.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The oven flue should be inspected at least twice a year to
determine when creosote buildup has occurred. When creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
risk of fire.
