Cleaning The Chimney; Cleaning The Housing - BURNHARD FLINT Manual Del Usuario

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

Burning pellets produce tar and other fumes which form creosote with humidity. This creosote can
collect in the chimney. To minimise the fire hazard, you should clean the chimney of your smoker once
every 3–4 months.
• Remove the chimney cap and clean it with a soft sponge, warm water, and mild detergent.
• Scrape off creosote and grease deposits from the inside of the flue tube using a rugged, non-metallic
tool (e.g. wood, silicon, or plastic spatula). Remove any residues with a paper towel.
!
WARNING: Do not spray any liquid/flammable detergents onto the inside of your smoker!

CLEANING THE HOUSING

• Wipe off grease and dirt with a soft sponge, warm water, and mild detergent. Refrain from using an
oven cleaning agent, abrasive cleaning agents, or steel wool!
CLEANING THE STAINLESS - STEEL GRILLING GRIDS
• Use a sponge or grill brush, warm water, and some detergent to clean the grids.
• The stainless-steel grilling grids do not rust and can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
• Clean the grilling grids after each use.
REMOVING THE ASH
!
WARNING: Make sure that the appliance has cooled down, is switched off, and that the mains
plug is disconnected before removing the ash.
Regularly remove the ash from the inside of your grill. Excess ash in the combustion chamber might
extinguish the fire. This applies particularly when in SMOKE operating mode.
• Remove the grids, the grease removal sheet, and the heat conduction sheet.
• You can remove most ash deposits located outside of the combustion chamber, for example, with a
small scoop and a hand brush.
• You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the ash from the inside of the combustion chamber.
• When using a bagless vacuum cleaner: First empty the dust container. Vacuum the ash from the com-
bustion chamber. Empty the dust collector and make sure that it's free of ash.
• Using a vacuum cleaner with disposable dust bags: First place a new dust bag. Vacuum the ash from
the combustion chamber. Afterwards, immediately remove and dispose of the entire dust bag.
!
WARNING: Always dispose of ash residues in a metal container with fitting lid. Do not place the
sealed ash container on any flammable surface and keep it away from flammable materials until
final disposal.
