CARE INSTRUCTIONS..

1) Clean the exterior of the BBQ on a regular basis with an oil based lubricant (WD40 or any other oil based lubricant) - clean the roasting hood, the cart and the cabinet with generous amounts of oil based substance. This will keep the BBQ looking fresh and also prevents moisture from eroding the metal. Spray all wheel nuts, door hinges etc.

2) For the interior of the BBQ clean with cooking oil, especially after you have washed the fat tray etc. Buy the cheapest form of cooking oil you can find and keep a large bottle of it near your BBQ station, use a basting brush to wipe cooking oil on all of the inner workings of the BBQ, the burners, the flavour peaks / heat distributors and the cooking grids.

3) After you have finished cooking on the BBQ close the roasting hood and leave it running for 5 minutes, this will burn the leftover food on the cooking surface, then open the roasting hood and wipe vigorously with a wire brush, this will push all of the dirt into the grill. Wipe the cooking grids with cooking oil and you are ready to go again – we call this the “every use” clean. It is important to complete the every use clean every time you use the BBQ. The more vigorous clean as per points 1 & 2 should be followed once a month.

4) Remember to always use a BBQ cover. If you do have the facility to put the BBQ in a dry storage facility this is always recommended, it will extend the lifetime of the grill enormously.

5) The burners on every Swiss Grill are stainless steel, this makes them extremely strong, they will change to a “blue orange” colour after being used, this is not rust. To keep your burners at optimum cooking level wrap them in tin foil when you are not using the BBQ, this will keep cob webs and foreign objects from ruining the burner.

6) If you are not able to store your BBQ in a cool dry place remember to give it a clean on a regular basis (even if you have not used it), this applies mainly to those storing the BBQ outside or in a damp shed over the rainy periods. Although the BBQ has not been used it can still get damp and mildew / rust may begin to appear. Wait for a fine dry day and give the BBQ a thorough clean (as per points 1 & 2)

AVOID FLARE UPS! – They can be dangerous, clean the fat tray regularly and you should avoid a large scale fat fire, in the event of a fat fire turn off control knobs close roasting hood and stand back. A fat fire can ruin a BBQ and burn it’s user, clean the fat tray as often as possible, to make cleaning easy place foil or sand in the fat tray.
