Cooking with the lid Closed
Gas BBQs with lids enable gentle cooking of larger pieces of
meat and entire fowls, similar to an oven.
With a closed lid only a flame is necessary. Set the temperature
to a small or medium flame and close the lid.
AVOID eXCeS-
SIVe HeATInG OF THe BBQ.
Unnecessary opening of the lid
allows heat to escape each time and thus lengthens the cooking
time. You should therefore avoid opening the lid unnecessarily.
Concluding barbecuing
As soon as the food has been prepared, the BBQ should be
allowed to burn for 5 minutes on a high flame. Residues on the
burner are thus burned away and cleaning is made easier. Make
sure that during this process the lid is opened.
Turning off the BBQ
To switch off the BBQ, turn the regulator on the gas bottle to the
“
Off
” position. Then turn the temperature regulator on the BBQ
to
off. Wait until the BBQ has cooled down sufficiently before
closing the lid.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Your grill is made of high-quality materials.
Protect your grill from varying weather conditions.
Clean the BBQ after each use. To clean and maintain the sur-
faces, please heed the following instructions:
Danger Risk of burning!
Let the grill cool down completely before cleaning.
Danger Health risk!
Do not use any decolorants or thinners to remove
stains. These are harmful to health and must not
come into contact with food.
Attention Risk of damage!
Do not use any strong or grinding solvents or abra-
sive pads, since these can attack the surfaces and
leave behind scrape marks.
• After each use, let the BBQ burn for approx. 5 minutes with-
out any food on it. This reduces the food residues.
• Set the regulator on the gas hose to the
Off
position, before
starting to clean the BBQ.
• Remove the BBQ grate and clean it thoroughly in soapy wa-
ter. Rinse it with clean water and then dry it off thoroughly.
• Use a wet sponge to remove loose residue from the grill.
• If a grease layer has formed on the internal surface of the lid,
this can be cleaned off using a strong, hot soapy solution.
Then rinse with clean water and dry completely before using
the BBQ again.
Warning! never use commercially available oven clean-
ers!
• Food residues on the base of the BBQ can be removed with
a brush, spatula, or cleaning sponge. Then wash again with
soapy water. Rinse with clean water and dry.
• Clean the internal and external surfaces using warm soapy
water.
• Use a soft, clean cloth for drying. Do not scratch the surfaces
when wiping them dry.
• Tighten all screws before every use to guarantee the stabil-
ity of your BBQ at all times.
• If the gas BBQ is not being used, it should be covered with a
protective hood.
• If necessary, the lava stones can be cleaned with detergent
and water.
Cleaning the burner
• Turn the regulator on the gas bottle to the
Off
position. Then
set the temperature regulator on the BBQ to
(off) and dis-
connect the gas hose from the gas bottle.
• Remove the BBQ grate.
• Clean the burner with a soft brush or with pressurised air.
Then wipe it down with a cloth.
• Clean blocked openings with a sturdy pipe cleaner, a wire or
with the opened end of a paperclip.
Cleaning the Ignition Head
• If it becomes difficult to ignite the flame, this may be due to
the fact that the tip of the ignition head is soiled. In this case
it needs to be cleaned. The ignition tip is located directly next
to the burner.
• To ensure perfect functioning, food residues between the ig-
nition tip and the burner must be removed. Use a steel / brass
brush, for example, to remove impurities from the ignition tip.
• The ignition tip should be approx. 4 - 5 mm away from the
burner edge. This is the ideal distance for reliable ignition.
IMPOrTAnT InFOrMATIOn
You may have acquired a
protective hood
for your BBQ. In
order to protect your investment, it is recommended that a BBQ
protective hood is always used when the BBQ is not in opera-
tion. However, please ensure that the protective hood is only put
on once the BBQ has cooled down and is clean and dry. The
use of a protective hood may be required.
Caution!
A protective
hood that is placed on a warm, wet, or unclean BBQ can lead to
heavy corrosion.
For this reason,
the BBQ should always have cooled down
and be cleaned of surface dirt and thoroughly dried before
the protective hood is placed on it.
This is particularly im-
portant when the BBQ is not going to be used for an extended
period of time and, for example, stored over winter.
In order to preserve the quality of this gas BBQ for a long time,
the owner should ensure that these care and maintenance in-
structions are followed precisely.
Take care of your investment and it will serve you well for years
to come.
