MORE RECOMMENDATIONS
All cooking accessories, whether supplied with the product or separately must be washed before first use to remove any
potential dirt due to manufacture or packaging operations. We recommend you also wash them before use every time
subsequently, even if they were put away clean.
All cast iron cooking accessories including BBQ grills and hot plates are coated with vegetable oil to stop rusting when you
first get them. After use, all cooking accessories need to be cleaned in soapy water to remove soot and cooing residue. Dry
them well after cleaning and immediately coat them with vegetable oil before putting away. Failure to coat with vegetable
oil will mean the accessory will start rusting. NEVER use mineral oil which is harmful to human health.
For cooking accessories purchased separately from this product, follow the cooking instructions supplied with the packaging.
If your chimenea is equipped with a swivelling cast iron BBQ grill, remember to remove and wash it thoroughly
and coat it with vegetable oil before and after use. Put food directly onto the BBQ grill, either pre-heated or
not. For pizzas, use the pizza stone. Use the multi-purpose tool provided to swivel the BBQ grill in and out. Nev-
er touch the BBQ grill with your hands while hot. A cast iron BBQ grill will remain hot a long time after use,
even if taken out of the chimenea.
