Cleaning And Care - Tenneker Charcoal Kettle Manuel De L'utilisateur

Cleaning and care

Before cleaning the appliance make sure it has cooled down completely.
Ashes
Once the charcoal is burned out, fully extinguished and cool,
clean the interior with an oven brush. The remaining ashes
can be brushed into the ash tray. Remove the ash tray and
empty it, but make sure the following precautions are ob-
served.
∙ Do not remove ashes until all charcoal is completely burned
out and fully extinguished and grill is cool.
∙ Never dump hot coals where they might be stepped on or
be a fire hazard. Never dump ashes or coals before they
are fully extinguished. Do not store barbecue until ashes
and coals are fully extinguished.
∙ Do not attempt to remove ash tray while it contains hot
coals or during grilling.
Appliance interior and exterior
∙
Clean appliance often, preferably after each cookout.
∙
Appliance should be cleaned at least once a year.
∙
Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors of grills are not painted at the fac-
tory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong solution
of detergent and water or use an appliance cleaner with
scrub brush on insides of appliance lid and bottom. Rinse
and allow to completely air dry. Do not apply caustic appli-
ance/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
∙
Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of
the appliance cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles
remain on cooking surfaces prior to grilling. It is not recom-
mended to clean cooking surfaces while appliance is hot.
∙
Plastic surfaces: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe
dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated appliance cleaner on plastic parts, as this can
result in damage and/or failure of the parts.
Disposal
This appliance must not be disposed as unsorted municipal
waste. It must be returned to a designated collection point for
recycling. By doing so, you will help to conserve resources
and protect the environment. Contact your local authorities
for more information.
Children must not play with plastic bags and packaging ma-
terial, due to possible injury or danger of suffocation. Store
such material safely or dispose of environmentally friendly.
WARNING
Corrosion
∙
If rust appears on the exterior surface of the appliance,
clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or fine grit
emery cloth. Touch-up with a good quality high-tempera-
ture resistant paint.
∙
Never apply paint to the interior surfaces. Rust spots on the
inside surfaces can be buffed, cleaned and lightly coated
with vegetable oil to minimize further rusting.
∙
Porcelain surfaces: Because of glass-like composition,
most residue can be wiped away with baking soda/water
solution or specially formulated cleaner. Use nonabrasive
scouring powder for stubborn stains.
∙
Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive
cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nona-
brasive cloth.
∙
Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your appliance's high
quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm
soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use.
Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abra-
sive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed
finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas
with graphics.
