Servicing
Your gas barbecue should be serviced annually by a technician.
Maintenance and protection of stainless steel and enamel surfaces
Your gas barbecue requires regular care in order to ensure that it keeps looking good.
Contrary to popular perception, stainless steel is neither rust resistant nor maintenance-free. Even high-quality stainless steel has to be regularly cleaned.
This prevents rust and other forms of corrosion.
Even brushed stainless steel, which is very popular nowadays, is susceptible to corrosion without the right care. The medium-hard stainless steel that has
been built into your barbecue requires cleaning and protection. This will ensure that you enjoy your barbecue for many years to come.
After assembling the barbecue, we recommend protecting it using olive oil. Spread it in a thin layer on the accessible stainless steel surfaces with a clean
cloth. Following this, polish it and remove oil residue with a clean cloth.
The tried and tested method of protection is not just suitable for use with food, it also helps the cleaning process and the removal of fingerprints.
If repeated regularly, this procedure will save you the unpleasant job of removing stubborn dirt.
