SAFETY AND INFORMATION
•
The gas cylinder should always be placed next to the barbecue when in use.
•
Close the gas supply on the regulator when the barbecue is not in use and when storing the gas
cylinder under the barbecue, disconnect the regulator.
•
If the barbecue is stored in a garage or basement below ground level, the gas cylinder should not be
stored in the same place.
•
If the barbecue has a side burner, the circumference of the pots and pans used must not be larger
than the opening on the side burner.
If oversized accessories are used, the heat will be trapped inside which will create an overheating
that can damage the barbecue.
•
THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USE IN PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS AND IS NOT SUITABLE
FOR PROFESSIONAL USE IN A RESTAURANT OR SIMILAR.
•
Coatings should not be applied until the barbecue is completely cold and dry. Moisture on the
inside of the cover will cause large formations of surface rust for those of the grill parts which are in
painted steel and stainless steel.
•
AVOID STORAGE OF The barbecue IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT, AS PARTS OF THE BARBECUE THAT
CONTAIN STAINLESS STEEL OR GLASS MAY REFLECT SUNLIGHT AND CAUSE FIRE.
•
PARTS IN PLASTIC WILL BE ABLE TO BLEACH UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SUNLIGHT.
•
LACQUERED PARTS WILL BE ABLE TO WHITE WITH THE EFFECT OF SUNLIGHT.
ADVICE AND TIPS
•
Always preheat the barbecue for 10-15 minutes before starting to grill. Then the cast iron grates are
taken up and distributed evenly over the barbecue surface.
•
Outdoor temperature, wind, snow and rain can give a deviation of up to 30% on the temperature
shown in the thermometer and the temperature that is actually on the barbecue surface.
•
Make sure that the barbecue is on a stable and straight surface to prevent grease from leaking out
of the grease collection system.
•
To facilitate cleaning of grease trays, cat litter can be used to absorb grease.
•
Make sure that the barbecue is stored dry under a roof or under a cover. Water from snow, ice and
rain that enters the barbecue can overfill the grease collection system and cause leakage to the
surface.
•
We recommend the use of FCC BBQ original covers for the best possible protection against
rain, pollen and pollution. Remember that the barbecue must be completely dry and cold before
applying the coating. The coating is equally waterproof both ways and moisture on the inside can
cause major rust damage on painted and stainless steel surfaces.
