Cleaning the Gas Barbecue

WARNING: HOT SURFACES
Before cleaning, wait until the gas barbecue has cooled down sufficiently.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION
• Before cleaning the gas barbecue, remove the gas cylinder.
• Do not use any flammable detergents.
CAUTION:
• Do not use a wire brush or other abrasive utensils for cleaning.
• Do not use any oven cleaners. Oven cleaner attacks painted surfac-
es.
• Clean the barbecue after each use!
NOTE:
If you allow both burners to burn at full power for approx. 15 minutes
without food, the residual deposits will be burn away completely.
Exterior Surfaces
• Use mild detergents, caustic soda and hot water.
• Mild abrasive agents can be used for stubborn stains.
• Following this, rinse thoroughly with water.

Interior Surfaces

Does the inner surface of the grill lid look as if paint may flake off? There
is burnt-on grease which is flaking.

Contrary to popular perception, stainless steel is neither rust resistant nor
protected location
maintenance-free. Even high-quality stainless steel has to be regularly
cleaned. This prevents rust and other forms of corrosion.
Even brushed stainless steel, which is very popular nowadays, is suscep-
tible to corrosion without the right care. The medium-hard stainless steel
that has been built into your barbecue requires cleaning and protection.
This will ensure that you enjoy your barbecue for many years to come.
After assembling the barbecue, we recommend protecting it using olive
oil. Spread it in a thin layer on the accessible stainless steel surfaces with
a clean cloth. Following this, polish it and remove oil residue with a clean
cloth.
The tried and tested method of protection is not just suitable for use with
food, it also helps the cleaning process and the removal of fingerprints.
If repeated regularly, this procedure will save you the unpleasant job of
removing stubborn dirt.
Use of Protective Covers
If the barbecue is not used for a long time, it is a good idea to use protec-
tive covers. These are also recommended as soon as the barbecue has
been cleaned and dried out well.
When selecting the protective cover, make sure it allows air to pass
through.
Residual moisture and condensation can generate damaging, moist air
under the cover. If left for a long period, this moist air leads to corrosion,
even in the case of good quality steels.
Enamelled Surfaces
Enamel is an excellent surface coating but it breaks easily. As such,
handle enamelled parts carefully.
• Remove dust or dirt by hand in warm rinsing water with the addition of a
little hand dishwashing liquid.
• Be careful not to scratch enamelled surfaces.
• Never use oven cleaner for your gas barbecue. Oven cleaners attack
the painted surfaces of your barbecue. This damages the paintwork.
