Maintenance and cleaning
Use clean water only. A mild washing up
liquid can be added for general cleaning. Do not
use flammable cleaning agents.
To clean the grates, burn the grill for around
10 minutes after use with the lid open, and
brushthe grates with a grill brush. When cleaning
with water, use normal washing up liquid. Do
notuse scouring products. Do not wash the
grates in washing up liquid to avoid damaging
theenamel. Dry the grates well after cleaning and
leave to soak in food oil.
To prevent attracting vermin and odours,
clean the fat tray regularly.
Store the grill in a dry place or under a cover
when not in use.
Polish with car wax once a year to avoid
rust on external parts. If living within 5 km of the
sea,we recommend storing the grill indoors, as
salt in the air can reduce its lifetime.
Spread cat litter or the like in the bottom
of the fat tray to absorb the fat dripping down
andprevent fat fires. It also makes cleaning the
tray easier.
Rust can naturally occur on cast iron and
steel parts, and will not affect the grill in the
shortterm. Superficial rust can be washed/
polished off.
Keep the grill free of fat and grease to
maintain performance.
The fat cup should be emptied regularly to
avoid it running over.
When using a grill cover, the grill must be
clean and dry and sufficient ventilation must
beensured. If not, moisture will accumulate under
the cover causing rust damage.
Check that the burners are
burning correctly regularly.
Remove the grill grate and
flame guards.
Light the grill normally.
Turn the controls from low
to high, check there is a
difference in flame strength and
that theflames are blue, not orange.
If the burners act abnormally, refer
to the Troubleshooting chapter.
Remove any fat or deposits
from previous use with a grill
brush.
MAINTENANCE
INSECTS AND VERMIN
CLEANING
After long-term storage, insects and
other vermin can be found in the
grill. If you experience problems
with lighting or experience irregular
flames, it can be due to unwanted
guests blocking the gas supply. In
such instances, dismantle and clean
the burners. Replace the burners
when they are dry.
Check that the gas hose is not
damaged by mice or rats.
