CLEANING THE PIZZA AND
DEFLECTOR STONE
The pizza stone and the deflector stone are
made of open-pored ceramic, and therefore
liquids and fats can soak or burn into the
material and cause permanent black spots
on the surface. These spots are harmless and
do not constitute defects. To remove larger
materials, simply scrape with a grill brush or
scraper/spatula. In the absence of the Smart
Grid System drip pans the deflector stone
can be wrapped in aluminium foil to protect
from dripping fat.
REMOVAL OF ASHES
After the grill has cooled down, the loose ash
in the charcoal basket can be simply shaken
off, so that it falls into the ash chamber of the
fire box. If required, remove the cast iron fire
grate beforehand. Now use the ash shovel to
remove the ashes through the opening.
We suggest occasionally removing all the
components from the unit and cleaning the
grill with a brush to thoroughly remove all ash.
CLEANING BY PYROLYSIS
If the grill has not been used for a long time,
when there is high humidity damp can enter
from the outside and mould may form on
any organic materials that have not been
removed on the ceramic and the grates.
This mould is harmless. It can be removed by
hand with a spatula or a brush. Heat the grill
up so that the moisture can be evaporated
from the ceramic. Raise the temperature
slowly and burn off all the residue. The heat
will destroy any fungal spores.
CLEANING AND USE
The grill does not have to be seasoned and can
be used immediately after being set up. The
grill does not require any further treatment,
such as application of oil for seasoning. The
cast iron charcoal grate leaves the factory with
a protective coating which safeguards it against
corrosion during storage. This protective coa
-
ting burns off during the initial use. Please wait
until any odour caused from burning of the
protective coating clears before placing food on
the grill.
CLEANING
Only clean the exterior of the grill and the stand
and bamboo side tables with water and a mild
cleaning agent.
Never use water or other liquids to clean the
inside. The inside of the grill can be cleaned
with high temperatures after use. To do this,
fully open both air vents. First ensure that there
is enough charcoal in the grill (if necessary,
add some charcoal). High temperatures are
reached very quickly, and the heat will burn
any organic residue to a fine ash (pyrolysis). We
recommend heating the grill up to 400 °C for
10 minutes.
Warning:
Do not allow the grill to heat up to more
than 400°C, especially the Monolith Basic, as this
could damage the gasket between the unit and
the lid. Never leave the grill unattended during
pyrolysis.
Always remove the Monolith Smart Grid
System before pyrolysis.
Finally brush the grate with a grill brush. Remo
-
ve the burnt residue on the lid and the other
internal components with a hand brush or
bristle brush. The cast iron grate and charcoal
basket can be cleaned with a brush; occasional
-
ly coat the cast iron grate with a thin layer of oil
to protect against rust.
Attention:
The light ceramic of the interior will
gradually darken. This is not a defect, but is rather
an effect of combustion, smoke and grease.
CLEANING THE GRILL
GRATES
Clean the grates while still hot with a grill brush,
to remove larger materials. The grill grates are
made of stainless steel and are dishwasher
safe. Only use suitable cleaning agents. The
grates may be permanently discoloured (tarn
-
ished) by the high temperatures the grill can
reach.
ATTENTION!
Please read the instructions manual carefully and in full, in order to prevent
operating errors and consequent forfeiture of warranty claims.
