Cleaning the burners

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.
Then rub in the olive oil and subsequently wipe the surface
with a clean cloth so that the finish is not oily. This way you
will ensure that the material is protected from dirt and other
aggressive harmful substances because the surface will be
covered with a temporary food-safe protective layer.
The olive oil film also makes subsequent polishing and
removal of fingerprints and the like much easier. Repeat this
procedure from time to time when you clean your barbecue.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You may have purchased a protective cover for your
barbecue. To protect your investment, we recommend that you
cover the barbecue with the protective cover whenever it is not
in use. However, make sure to put on the protective cover only
when your barbecue has cooled down and is clean and dry. It
may be necessary to use a protective cover. Caution! Putting
a protective cover on your barbecue while it is warm, wet or
dirty may lead to heavy rusting.
For this reason, your barbecue must always be cool,
clean and thoroughly dried before you put on the
protective cover. This is especially important before long
periods of disuse, e.g. during winter storage.
Follow these maintenance and care tips thoroughly in order to
preserve the quality of your barbecue for a long time.
Take good care of your investment and it will serve you well
for years to come.
