16 CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Using for the First Time
The Monolith BBQ Guru Edition can be used directly
after assembly and does not require any further treat-
ment. The cast iron fire grate is covered in a protective
coating to safeguard it against corrosion. This protective
coating will burn off during initial use. Please wait until
any odor clears before placing food on the grill.
Cleaning the Monolith BBQ Guru Edition
Only clean the exterior of the Monolith BBQ Guru
Edition, cart and side tables with water and mild clean-
ing agent. NEVER use water to clean the inside of your
Monolith BBQ Guru Edition. The insides as well as the
grates can be cleaned by using high temperatures. By
completely opening both vents (make sure there is
enough charcoal in the firebox), raise the temperature
to 400°F and leave for 15 – 20 minutes. The heat will
burn off all organic residue. Make sure to turn the fan
dial to the OFF position during this process.
WARNING:
Do not exceed 900°F, this could damage the
gasket or individual components within the Monolith
BBQ Guru Edition.
After the Monolith BBQ Guru Edition has cooled down,
remove the ashes from the ceramic components with a
soft brush. The grates can be cleaned with a metal grill
brush. The cast iron grate and fire grate can be cleaned
with a metal brush and thinly coated with vegetable oil to
protect against rust.
ATTENTION: Gradually, the light colored ceramic of the
interior will darken. This is a normal process and is
caused through combustion, smoke and grease.
Ashes
After cooling down, simply lift up the charcoal basket
out of the Monolith BBQ Guru Edition by the handles,
then shake off the ashes, or use the ash hook to remove
the ashes within the ceramic fire box. If required,
remove the cast iron fire grate before cleaning. You can
use the ash hook to scrape out the ashes in the ash com-
partment. We suggest occasionally removing all com-
ponents out of the unit and cleaning them and the
inside walls with a soft brush.
Cleaning the Grill Grates
Clean the grates while still hot with a metal grill brush,
removing all larger organic materials. The grill grates are
made of stainless steel and are dishwasher safe. Only use
mild cleaning detergents. The exposure to high tempera-
tures can cause discoloration of the steel.
Cleaning the Pizza and Deflector Stone
The pizza stone and deflector stone are both made of
open-pored cordierite ceramic, therefore liquids and fats
can soak or burn into the surface, which can lead to per-
manent discoloration of the material. The discoloration is
harmless and does not constitute defects. To remove
larger organic materials, simply scrape the surface with a
spatula or grill brush. The deflector stone may be wrapped
in aluminum foil to protect from dripping fat.
Mold & Mildew
If your Monolith BBQ Guru Edition hasn’t been used for
an extended period of time, moisture can get trapped
inside the grill. Mold or mildew can start to develop on
left over organic materials on the grill grate or on the
internal ceramic components. Scrape away the mold or
mildew with a spatula or grill brush. The rest can be
burned off by running the grill at 400°F for 15 – 20 min-
utes. The heat will burn off all the remaining mold and
mildew residue.
If you plan not to use your Monolith BBQ Guru Edition
for a longer period of time, remove the charcoal as it will
draw even more moisture into the grill.
For ideal protection from the weather, we recommend
using our Monolith covers. Open both the air vent and
ventilation cap before placing the cover over the Monolith,
allowing the air to circulate within the grill and allowing
moisture to escape.
Metal Bands
The metal bands should be checked regularly and tight-
ened if necessary.
Gasket & Replacement Sets
The gasket material is subject to wear and must be
regularly replaced, depending on the amount of grill use.
Avoid damaging the gasket with metal brushes or too
high temperatures (in excess of 900°F). To replace the
gasket, remove the old gasket very carefully with a spatu-
la taking care not to damage the ceramic glaze. Any glue
residue can be removed carefully with sandpaper. The
gasket replacement band is self-adhesive. Start at the
back of the grill working your way around, making sure
the gasket doesn’t protrude inside the grill.
