INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE GUIDE
Check cooking times and temperature
Times and temperatures in outdoor grilling are susceptible to variations; cooking
times may vary in a cold climate or at high altitudes, if a strong wind is blowing.
Never leave the barbecue unattended and check the status of the dishes visually and
with the use of a food thermometer.
Cooking fresh and/or frozen foods
Whether the foods to be grilled are frozen or fresh, follow the safety instructions on
the package and always cook them up to the recommended internal temperature.
The cooking time of frozen food is always longer.
Keep your grill clean
If you want to ensure functionality, efficiency and durability of your grill, it is
advisable to follow the following basic maintenance instructions:
•
For proper circulation of air and better cooking results, clean the burner
assembly from the combustion residues before each ignition, using the correct
tools.
•
After various uses of the grill, flakes similar to paint may appear in the internal
parts, in particular inside the lid: during operation the grease of fat and steams
oxidizes slowly, turning into carbon and depositing in the internal walls . To
minimize this effect, you can clean up the surfaces involved, with a sheet of
absorbent paper when the is still warm (during cooling phase).
•
Rain, chemicals and salt can cause the outer surface to rust; we recommend
cleaning the external surfaces with a cloth soaked in warm water and soap. Then
rinse and dry carefully. Do not use sharp objects or abrasive cleaners to clean the
grill surfaces.
Cooking plates cleaning
If you have just finished grilling or still want to clean the plate before starting cooking
other dishes, you can pour half a glass of water directly on the plate when hot being
carefull to hot steam. This will allow you to remove the dirt with a steel spatula and
absorbent paper in a easier and more effective way
.
