CH311B BARBEQUE - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation, cut off the electricity from the apparatus.
In order to give your equipment a long life, it is vital to thoroughly clean it all over, remembering the
following points:
§ To obtain the best results, we recommend preheating the lava rock for at least 10 minutes on
position 1 (one). This is particularly advisable when you turn on the equipment for the first time,
because it allows you to reduce the risk, during cooking, of the food absorbing smells that the
heating coil produces when it is first switched on.
§ The steel and/or painted parts must be cleaned using suitable products (available on the market)
which are not abrasive or corrosive. Avoid products based on chlorine (bleach, etc). Avoid leaving
acids or alkalis on the work surface (vinegar, salt, lemon-juice, etc.)
§ Clean the cast iron grill by immersing it in hot water and washing up liquid. Do not under any
circumstances use abrasive or corrosive detergents (e.g. powder products or metallic sponges).
Rinse and dry carefully.
§ While cleaning the grill, handle it with care.
§ Any grease deposits can be removed more easily by heating the grill for 5 or 10 minutes. Allow the
grill to cool, remove it, rinse and dry well with a clean cloth.
§ Periodically, remove the fat deposits on the surface of the volcanic rocks by putting them in the
oven for high temperature pyrolysis. The same result can be obtained by turning the energy
regulator knob to the maximum setting for 5 or 10 minutes.
