11. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
11.1 CLEANING THE BARBECUE
⚠ WARNING:
When cleaning inside the barbecue around the burner system, take care not to damage any components of the burners.
CLEANING THE OUTSIDE OF THE BARBECUE
NOTE:
Never use glass cleaner or other cleaning sprays to clean the barbecue as these can damage the surfaces.
Clean the outside of the barbecue and shelf surfaces using only conventional non-aggressive cleaning agents (e.g. standard washing-up liquid).
In the case of special barbecue cleaners (not recommended), we recommend testing the product first on a concealed area.
CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE BARBECUE
NOTE:
When cleaning with a nylon barbecue brush always make sure that the barbecue has cooled down completely.
Thanks to the unique funnel system, only very minor cleaning is required between uses of the barbecue because most of the grease either
evaporates or is gathered in the collecting tray.
Recommended cleaning for heavier soiling:
1. Heat the barbecue for around 10 minutes at full power to burn off food residue (residue from meat, fat, sugar from marinades, etc.).
2. Allow the barbecue to cool completely to allow all food residue to solidify/harden (allows easier and more effective cleaning)
3. Clean the barbecue grid using an OUTDOORCHEF nylon or brass barbecue brush for optimum results (do not use a brush with steel bristles).
4. Remove the barbecue grid and clean the funnel with the OUTDOORCHEF funnel brush.
TIP:
Preparation for the next barbecue starts straight away because if you clean the barbecue grid after each use, this will save
you having to do this before your next barbecue.
