REGULAR MAINTENANCE
After grilling, you should prepare the grill for the next use. Let the grill burn freely at maximum heat
with the lid closed to burn up any residues on the grids and then brush them off.
Follow the procedure below to do this:
1. Remove all grilled food from the grill and set the grill to maximum heat with the lid closed. Let it
burn freely for 15-30 minutes until no more smoke comes out of the grill. For tough stains, turn the
grids so that the used side faces the bottom.
2. Close the gas cylinder valve (rotate to OFF) and subsequently turn the control knobs to the OFF
position.
3. Next, use a long-handled stainless steel brush to clean the grill. Make sure to wear grilling gloves or
potholders since the grill is still very hot.
4. When using cast iron grids pour some rapeseed or sunflower oil on a cloth and rub it on the grids to
prevent rust. Stainless steel grids need no further maintenance.
It is recommended that you clean the dirty spots on the edge of the cast iron grids separately every 2–3
times you use the grill. Here, you should first let the grill burn freely and then clean it using a wire brush.
To clean the dirty spots on the edges, remove the grids from the grill and scrub them carefully under
warm water (no detergent) using a wire sponge (pot sponge). Afterwards, use a cloth to dry them horo-
ughly, allow to dry completely, apply some oil, and pace them back into the grill. Stainless steel grids
can easily be cleaned with detergent, sponge and warm water or in the dishwasher.
If the cast iron show signs of fash rust,, scrub the rusty surfaces with steel wool until you have comple-
tely removed all the rust. Next, wash the grids with warm water, rub dry thoroughly with a cloth, allow to
dry completely and and repeat the burning-in process.
If possible, store the cast iron grids in a dry pace during winter.
General cleaning of the grill should be done every 3–4 months. You should let the grease residues burn,
empty the grease trap, and clean the grease tray and grids every time you use the grill.
