  • Page 20: Grilling Tips

    
 Grilling Tips:  When using your Arteflame for the first time, it is good practice to build a fire that burns for at least an hour.  This ensures that the cooktop reaches cooking temperature.  Once it has reached cooking temperature, rub the cooktop with oil to start the seasoning process. ...
  • Page 21 Any oxidation that does form can easily be removed using steel wool and re-oiling the cooktop. The more your Arteflame is used, the better the cooktop will be protected by the oil that you use on it.  This oil will actually impregnate the cooktop and prevent oxidation.

  • Page 22: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE 
 After using your Arteflame, either extinguish the fire or supervise it until it is burned out. Water can be used to extinguish the fire but BEWARE of excessive smoke, ash and steam when using water to extinguish the Arteflame.  The Arteflame will be very hot while the fire is burning itself out and can remain hot for hours. ...
  • Page 23 It is not necessary to store your Arteflame indoors.  Your Arteflame can be left outside year round.  When left outside, make sure to clean out your Arteflame before using it.  Debris like leaves, twigs or snow can accumulate in it. After each grill use, leave a thin layer of cooking oil (preferably flaxseed oil) on the cooktop to protect the cooktop against oxidation between uses just like you would with a cast iron skillet.
