Always make sure that the process is free of contamination.
1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen all screws.
2. Carefully remove the burner rods from the firebox and unscrew the ignitions.
3. Use a metal brush to scrub the burners and remove burned-in liquids and flash
rust. You can use a metallic spatula to remove any particularly tough stains.
4. Clean any clogged flame openings using a thin metallic needle (e.g. paper clip
or sewing needle). Never use wooden toothpicks. These can break and clog the
opening.
5. If in exceptional cases the venturi tube (gas mixing tube) is blocked, it must be
cleaned with a needle or pipe cleaner.
Inserting the clean stainless-steel burner
1. Screw the ignitions back on the burners.
2. Carefully insert the stainless-steel burners into the burner valves. Make sure
that the nozzle tip snaps into the Venturi tube.
3. Fasten the screws back into the threads in the firebox.
Care of the cast iron grates
The grates of the gas grill are enamelled. The coating protects against rust and pre-
vents food from sticking to the grate. Despite this protective layer, the grates can
absorb and release fat and moisture. Therefore, it is recommended to burn in these
grates as well.
Burning in the cast iron grates
Cast iron grill grates must be burned-in to protect the metal from rust and to crea-
te a non-stick surface.
The cast iron can be burned-in in 3 easy steps:
1. Wash the cast iron grates with warm water and wipe dry.
2. Rub or brush the entire grate with fat. Use a fat with a high content of satura-
ted fatty acids, e.g. coconut fat, coconut oil or peanut oil.
3. Place the grates on the grill and burn in for 45 minutes at the highest tempera-
ture with the lid closed. As a result, the fat is permanently burned into the iron
and it creates a protective patina.
