Regular Maintenance - Burnhard FRED JR. BASIC Bedienungsanleitung

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

After grilling, you should prepare the grill for the next use. Let the grill burn freely at maximum heat
with the lid closed to burn up any residues on the grids and then brush them off.
Follow the procedure below to do this:
1. Remove all grilled food from the grill and set the grill to maximum heat with the lid closed. Let it
burn freely for 15-30 minutes until no more smoke comes out of the grill. For tough stains, turn the
grids so that the used side faces the bottom.
2. Close the gas cylinder valve (rotate to OFF) and subsequently turn the control knobs to the OFF
position.
3. Next, use a long-handled stainless steel brush to clean the grill. Make sure to wear grilling gloves or
potholders since the grill is still very hot.
4. Pour some rapeseed or sunflower oil on a cloth and rub it on the grids to prevent rust. Stainless steel
grids need no further maintenance.
It is recommended that you clean the dirty spots on the edge of the cast iron grids separately every 2–3
times you use the grill. Here, you should first let the grill burn freely and then clean it using a wire brush.
To clean the dirty spots on the edges, remove the grids from the grill and scrub them carefully under
warm water (no detergent) using a wire sponge (pot sponge). Afterwards, use a cloth to dry them thoro-
ughly, apply some oil, and place them back into the grill. Stainless steel grids can easily be cleaned with
detergent, sponge and warm water or in the dishwasher.
If the cast iron grids are rusty, scrub the rusty surfaces with steel wool until you have completely re-
moved all the rust. Next, wash the grids with water or warm soapy water, dry properly, and repeat the
burning-in process.
If possible, store the cast iron grids in a dry place during winter.
General cleaning of the grill should be done every 3–4 months. You should let the grease residues burn,
empty the grease trap, and clean the grease tray and grids every time you use the grill.
REPLACING THE STAINLESS - STEEL BURNERS
If one or more burners are defective, replace the affected burner(s) as follows:
1. Remove the clamping spring. Pull the burner back slightly and carefully lift out the corresponding
burner.
2. Clean or replace the defective burner(s). Put the burners back in the reverse order and secure the
burners with the clamping spring.
