Proper Care & Maintenance - Brinkmann 810-6340-S Manual Del Propietário

ADDING CHARCOAL/WOOD DURING COOKING:
Additional charcoal and/or wood may be re quired to maintain or increase cooking tem per a ture.
1. Stand back and carefully open grill lid. Use caution since flames can flare-up when fresh air suddenly comes in
contact with fire.
2. Wearing oven mitts/gloves, remove food and cooking grates to access charcoal grate.
WARNING: Never add charcoal lighting fluid to hot or even warm coals as flashback may occur causing
severe burns.
3. When charcoal is burning strong again, wear oven mitts/gloves and carefully return charcoal grate to desired
cooking level. Replace food and cooking grates. Ensure that no ashes, coals or embers have fallen to the ground
as a fire may start. As a precaution, completely wet beneath and around grill with water to extinguish any fallen
ashes, coals or embers.
4. Close the grill lid. Allow food to continue cooking.
WARNING: If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain
on the cooking surfaces prior to grilling as loose bristles may attach to food.
CLEANING INTERIOR OF GRILL:
• We recommend cleaning off food residue immediately after cooking by gently scrubbing grates with wire bristle
brush and then turning burners to "HIGH" for approximately 5 minutes.
WARNING: DO NOT leave grill unattended when grill is on. Wear oven mitts to protect from burns.
• The heat from the burners will burn off most food/grease residue from grates & heat tents and turn it to an ash like
substance which will fall to the bottom of the firebox or grease tray. After the grill cools (approximately 30 minutes)
remove grates and heat tents and brush the ash and any grease out of the firebox. Clean and replace grease cup.
Inspect the heat tents for damage or deterioration before reinstalling in the grill. (Replacements can be ordered by
calling 800-527-0717.)
• Wash the grates and heat tents with a mild detergent and rinse with hot water periodically if desired.
CAUTION: DO NOT allow ash residue to remain on the grease tray or firebox as it could block proper grease
drainage of the grill.
INTERIOR OF GRILL LID:
• Smoke will accumulate inside grill lid and may flake onto your food. Clean the inside of the grill lid with scrub
brush and baking soda/water solution. Dry thoroughly. Do not mistake this for paint. The interior of gas grill lids are
not painted.
MAINTAINING EXTERIOR OF GRILL:
• To protect your grill from excessive rust, the unit must be kept clean and covered at all times when not in use.
• Painted surfaces. Wash with mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner and warm soapy water.
• Stainless steel surfaces. To maintain your grill's 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 abrasive plastic
cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with
graphics. Car wax may help protect the exterior finish of your grill.
• Porcelain surfaces. Because of glass-like composition, most residue can be wiped away with a solution of baking
soda and water or specially formulated cleaner. Use non-abrasive scouring powder such as baking soda for
stubborn stains.
• Plastic and rubber parts. Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners,
de-greasers or a concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
RUST:
• Discoloration, rust and rust pits can occur as a result of high cooking temperatures, acidic marinades, grease fires
and exposure to coastal climates or other natural elements.
• Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable oil
spray to minimize rusting.
• Never use cleaners containing chlorine or store swimming pool supplies or chemicals in cart compartment as
chlorine promotes rust.
