Care and Protection of Stainless Steel Surfaces

Your gas barbecue requires regular care in order to ensure that it keeps
looking good.
Contrary to popular perception, stainless steel is neither rust resistant nor
maintenance-free. Even high-quality stainless steel has to be regularly
cleaned. This prevents rust and other forms of corrosion.
Even brushed stainless steel, which is very popular nowadays, is suscep-
tible to corrosion without the right care. The medium-hard stainless steel
that has been built into your barbecue requires cleaning and protection.
This will ensure that you enjoy your barbecue for many years to come.
After assembling the barbecue, we recommend protecting it using olive
oil. Spread it in a thin layer on the accessible stainless steel surfaces with
a clean cloth. Following this, polish it and remove oil residue with a clean
cloth.
The tried and tested method of protection is not just suitable for use with
food, it also helps the cleaning process and the removal of fingerprints.
If repeated regularly, this procedure will save you the unpleasant job of
removing stubborn dirt.

Use of Protective Covers

If the barbecue is not used for a long time, it is a good idea to use protec-
tive covers. These are also recommended as soon as the barbecue has
been cleaned and dried out well.
When selecting the protective cover, make sure it allows air to pass
through.
Residual moisture and condensation can generate damaging, moist air
under the cover. If left for a long period, this moist air leads to corrosion,
even in the case of good quality steels.

Storing the Gas Barbecue

• If the barbecue is clean and dry, you can protect it with a blanket.
• Bear in mind the appliance has many air slots for proper functioning.
Please ensure these remain free of insects, foreign objects and dirt.
• Store the barbecue in a frost-free, dry room.
• We recommend that you keep the appliance in the original packaging if
it will not be used for long periods.
• Always store the appliance out of the reach of children in a dry, well
ventilated place.
• Shut the valve of the gas cylinder and store it out of the reach of chil-
dren.
• Concerning storage, also refer to the information in the section entitled

"Safety Notes".

Gas Cylinder

– Always handle the gas cylinder with care!
• If the appliance is not in use, shut the gas cylinder and remove the
low pressure regulator.
• Close the cylinder and replace the protective cap.
• Gas cylinders should stand upright outdoors and should be stored
out of the reach of children.
• Do not store the cylinder in a basement, as leaking gas can collect
on the floor.
• Never store the gas cylinder in places where temperatures can ex-
ceed 50 °C.
• Do not place the gas cylinder in the vicinity of a naked flame or other
sources of ignition.
