CLEANING THE IGNITION HEAD
• Soiling of the ignition head tip may make it difficult to build up fire. In this case, it must be cleaned. The ignition head
tip is located next to the burner opening.
• To ensure perfect functioning, food residues between the ignition head tip and the burner must be removed. Use fine
sandpaper/emery paper to clean the ignition head tip and the burner edge.
• The ignition head tip should be approx. 4 - 6 mm away from the burner edge. This is the optimal distance for reliable
ignition.
CLEANING THE DRIP TRAY
This drip tray collects excessive grease runoff and fallen food particles. Allow the tray and its contents to cool before
cleaning. Loosen the back grill head cover (J) and slide out the drip tray and then wipe it clean.
Make sure the tray is installed properly before using the grill. It is highly recommended that you check the tray regularly
to avoid any possibility of a grease fire; however, most of the drippings will vaporize back into the cooked item giving
you an outdoor grilled flavor.
MAINTAINING BARBECUE SURFACES AND LIDS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Maintaining and protecting stainless steel surfaces
Your barbecue was manufactured with stainless steel components. All stainless steel parts require a certain protection
and care effort in order to keep their original appearance. Contrary to general perception, stainless steel is not
hundred percent resistant to flash rust and corrosion; therefore, it does require certain maintenance. Even the highest-
quality stainless steel parts need to be cleaned on a regular basis with fresh water so that oxidation and corrosion are
prevented.
Modern aesthetics requires that your barbecue be equipped with stainless steel components and a brushed finish. This
brushed finish is achieved by running stainless steel sheets through a process in which the mirror finish of the steel is
removed and thus the sheets leave the processing plant in a brushed condition.
Brushed stainless steel requires regular cleaning and maintenance in order to preserve its appearance. Without proper
care, signs of rust or corrosion are sure to appear on the steel surface over time.
Stainless steel does require maintenance. Cleanliness and stainless steel are closely interrelated.
Once you have assembled the barbecue, it is recommended that you use a clean cloth to apply a thin film of olive oil
on all accessible stainless steel surfaces.
