beneficial, adding to the pleasant barbecue taste.
In order to keep the flare-ups under control,
follow these tips:
• Remove visible fat from the meat before
barbecuing.
• Cook chicken and pork at a lower power
setting.
• Make sure that the fat drain aperture on the
barbecue bottom is open and that the drip pan
is not full. Empty and wash the drip pan
regularly.
• If possible, always cook with the lid down and
use the minimum efficient power setting.
If you keep the lid down, the temperature inside
the barbecue remains constant and less gas is
consumed. Also, the food does not dry out if the
lid is down, due to the water vapors and heat
released by the LPG gas circulating inside the
barbecue.
42.11Marinades
Marinades are intended for flavouring of the
barbecued food. Inside the barbecue, marinades
cause sticking of the food to the barbecue grid or
grilling plate, may drain under the barbecue or
catch fire.
If there is marinade present:
• Before placing the food into the barbecue,
wipe off excessive marinade.
• Never pour marinade on barbecued food while
inside the barbecue.
• Never apply marinade in which raw meat,
chicken, or fish have been kept onto barbecued
food by a BBQ brush. Otherwise, the bacteria
from raw meat will end up in the cooked food.
• If you want to add taste or shiny surface to the
barbecued food, use a brush to apply some
barbecue sauce onto the food during the final
stage of cooking. Always prepare the sauces
separately.
43. MAINTENANCE, CLEANING AND
STORAGE
43.1 Maintenance and cleaning of the
barbecue
To ensure good condition and optimal service of
the barbecue over the years, the barbecue and its
components require cleaning and maintenance.
Perform at least the following operations after
each use, as soon as the barbecue has cooled.
43.2 Grilling grids and plates
If barbecued food has stuck to the grilling grids or
plates, proceed as follows:
- Use a paper towel to wipe off excessive fat and
marinade from the grid. Be thorough – do not
leave fat or marinade inside the barbecue, for
they may catch fire.
- Ignite the burners according to the instructions.
Adjust the burners to maximum power. Close
the barbecue lid.
- Let the burners incinerate any food residues,
fat, and marinade stuck to the grid and
barbecue pan. Use the burners at full power in
an empty barbecue for max. 5 minutes,
otherwise the barbecue components may
overheat.
- Close the burners open the lid and let the
components cool for at least 15 minutes, until
it is safe to touch them.
- Use a brass BBQ brush to remove burnt food
from the grid and barbeque pan. Only a brash
brush intended specifically for barbecue
cleaning may be used for this. The bristles of
an ordinary steel brush are too hard and will
spoil the surfaces of barbecue components.
The consequences of using a steel brush are
not covered by warranty
.
- Finally, when the grids are clean, apply some
cooking oil on them, rendering the barbecue
ready for next use.
Any wear or corrosion of the grilling grid and
plate due to ordinary use, improper maintenance,
or incorrect storage are not covered by the
warranty.
43.3 Other barbecue components
The wooden parts of the barbecue must be cleaned
as follows:
- All wooden parts must be regularly cleaned by
washing with soap/water solution and wiping
by a damp cloth.
- Dry the cleaned surfaces carefully.
- Wooden parts must be treated at least 2-3 times
a year by cleaning products for outdoor
furniture commonly available in stores. This
prevents drying and cracking of wooden
