Maintenance Of Your Barbecue - BORETTI CERAMICA Notice D'utilisation

5. Maintenance of your barbecue

After the use of the barbecue we recommend that you store it under a barbecue
cover or in the garage/shed. For both Ceramica sizes there are custom-made
covers available through www.boretti.com or at your local Boretti-dealer.
Only store the barbecue after it has fully cooled down. Never store it in a damp
space, and never store it in a space where flammable or inflammable substances
are being stored.
Regularly check and tighten all nuts and screws on your Ceramica to ensure it stays
as stable as possible.
5.1 Cleaning your charcoal barbecue
It is recommended to clean the grill racks immediately after use when the grills
are still a bit warm. You can use a barbecue brush to do this (available through
www.boretti.com). To keep the cast iron grills in the best condition we also advice
to occasionally apply a thin layer of (sunflower) oil. This will also help to keep food
residue from sticking onto the grills.
We also recommend to clean the charcoal basket and the ash tray after every use.
If needed use lukewarm water. Make sure to dry thoroughly after cleaning.
In case it is needed we recommend to clean the outer body of the charcoal
barbecue with lukewarm water and a soft sponge or cloth.
DO NOT USE any abrasive cleaning detergents or soaps as this can damage the
paint or finishing of your barbecue. Dry after cleaning.
The inside of your Ceramica is best cleaned by burning it ''clean'' at high temperatures.
This will remove most fat and dirt. Try to achieve a temperature around 250-300°C
for at least 30 minutes to get the dirt and fat away. DO NOT clean the inside of
your Ceramica kamado with any liquids, cleaning detergents or brushes or as this
can damage the ceramic or can influence the taste of your dishes prepared on the
Ceramica.
