Storing Your Barbecue - Paderno VIDA Essence Series User Manual

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning the exterior stainless steel surfaces
•
Always use a non-abrasive, non-toxic stainless steel cleaner designed for outdoor products and barbecues.
•
Always use a microfibre cloth to clean in the direction of the stainless steel grain.
•
Do not use paper towels as they can scratch the stainless steel finish.
•
If you notice a film or leftover residue from your cleaner, rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a microfibre cloth.
•
Do not allow any spills from sauces to remain on stainless steel parts.
•
Always wipe surfaces immediately following cooking.
Cleaning the exterior painted, porcelain enamel surfaces
•
Clean painted and porcelain-coated surfaces with warm soapy water.
•
After wiping down all surfaces, rinse thoroughly with water.
•
Dry with a soft microfibre cloth.
DO NOT USE ANY CHEMICAL CLEANERS ON PAINTED SURFACES AS THEY COULD STRIP THE PAINT AND PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE
SURFACE, LEAVING IT UNPROTECTED.

Storing your barbecue

• BEFORE YOU STORE IT, REMOVE AND CLEAN ALL COMPONENTS.
• SEASON COOKING GRATES WITH VEGETABLE SHORTENING AND WRAP
IN A TOWEL BEFORE STORING.
Cleaning cooking grates
1. During preheat, brush cooking grates with a grill brush to
remove debris.
IF A MORE THOROUGH CLEANING IS REQUIRED
2. Wash cooking grates with soap and water only.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly with a towel. If cleaning on a very hot day, allow
grates to dry in the sun.
Cleaning the inside of the lid
Over time you may notice "paint-like" peeling on the inside of the barbecue
lid. During use, grease and smoke vapours turn into carbon deposits, which
eventually begin to peel. These deposits are non toxic but should be cleaned
off to avoid flakes falling onto food.
1. Use a grill brush to brush the carbon build up from inside the lid on a
regular basis to avoid this build-up.
• IF STORING FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD, REMOVE THE IGNITER BATTERY
TO AVOID CORROSION.
• USE A BARBECUE COVER TO HELP PROTECT YOUR BARBECUE.
