Maintenance and care

Always set the control knobs to off position and unplug grill, when appliance is not in use.
Make sure the appliance has cooled down.
∙
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. 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 com-
pletely air dry. Do not apply caustic appliance/oven cleaner
to painted surfaces.
∙
Cast iron cooking grates: Before using the cast iron cook-
ing grates, coat them with heat-resistant oil (peanut oil, fry-
ing oil) and then burn-in in the barbecue.
After using them a few times, a sufficient patina will have
formed and burning-in will no longer be necessary.
Each time you use them, vigorously heat up the cooking
grates so that residues adhering to them can be removed
more easily.
After it has cooled down, remove the residues using a cloth
and warm water if possible. Never use detergent to clean
the cast iron cooking grates.
In order to preserve and prevent rust after cleaning, rub
heat-resistant oil on the cooking grates and, if necessary,
the interior.

Corrosion

∙
If rust appears on the exterior surface of the barbecue,
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.

WARNING
1
∙
Grease tray: You may remove the grease cup for cleaning.
Do not clean the grease cup in a dish washer.
∙
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.
∙
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.
Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.

Storing the appliance

If the appliance needs to be stored for a prolonged period of
time (e.g. over winter):
1. Make sure the appliance has cooled down. Carefully clean
the appliance.
2. The appliance can be stored in a dry location indoors (e.g.
garage or cellar).
3. Cover the appliance.
When removing the appliance from storage, check the appli-
