Maintenance and protection of stainless steel and enamel surfaces

Your gas barbecue requires regular care in order to ensure that it keeps looking good.
Contrary to popular perception, stainless steel is neither rust resistant nor 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 susceptible 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 protective 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 a rinsing bath
• 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.
