Cleaning and maintenance
Cleaning and storage
• Wait until the barbecue is completely cold.
• For hygiene and safety reasons: carefully clean your appliance
and all its accessories (including the grease drawer) after each
use, using hot soapy water and a soft non-abrasive cloth, in
order to remove grease residue and using a soft non-abrasive
cloth. Dry and oil cast iron surfaces.
WARNING! For barbecues equipped with a front panel, it
may be necessary to remove it in order to take the grease
drawer for cleaning.
To clean the plancha:
• never use scouring or abrasive objects or detergents. To remove
cooked-on grease and meat juices efficiently, deglaze it just
after cooking (the cooking plancha must be hot):
• Switch off the appliance, wear suitable protective gloves against
the heat of the plancha, and throw a small quantity of water on
the surface to be cleaned. Be careful of the heat produced by
the steam. Remove any residue with a spatula in the slit in the
plancha. Finish cleaning with a soft sponge. Dry and lightly oil.
You can replace the water by vinegar on a warm cooking plancha.
To clean the side shelves:
• clean these parts after each use, using hot soapy water and a
soft non-abrasive cloth. Rinse and dry.
• The side shelves do not be use as cutting board.
• Do not clean the grills/planchas or accessories in a self-cleaning
oven: you risk damaging them.
• Protect the appliance (after disconnecting from the gas cylinder)
with a cover during warm weather and then store it in a cool
and dry place.
• Turn off the gas cylinder valve after each use.
