EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE AND REMOVING ASHES
Extinguishing the fi re
The best way is to let the fi re die out on its own.
Removing ashes
Ashes can stay very hot for a long period of time, sometime even for days. Therefore, always put
them in an empty zinc bin and throw water over them so that they are completely covered before
disposal. Only then dispose of them in regular bin.
MAINTENANCE TIPS
The cooking plate
The cooking plate Is made of steel and will corrode if oil is not properly baked into it. Once the oil
has been properly baked in, only minor corrosion will develop. When the cooking plate is not used
for longer period of time, we recommend treating it with oil every 15-30 days. Because treating a
cold cooking plate with oil is not easy, using a spray bottle with pan coating is more effi cient. The
amount of corrosion does very much depend on the climate. Salty, humid air is obviously much
worse than dry air.
If you use the grill a lot, a smooth layer of carbon residue will build up on the cooking plate, making
it extra smooth and extra comfortable to use. From time to time, this layer might come off here and
there. When you spot it chipping in places, simply scrape off the chips using a spatula and rub on
a new oil. The carbon residue layer will gradually regrow itself this way.
The base
Oil splashes may form on the base during cooking. These splashes cannot be removed from the
Corten steel base. However, the entire Corten steel base can be treated with oil using a kitchen
towel, making the splashes invisible. Such treatment will make the entire base darker.
Black grills
Black-coated models require more maintenance than Corten grills and are, despite high-quality
coating, more sensitive to scratches and damage. Touch ups after surface scratches can be done
with heat-resistant protective black spray paint.
The ashtray
When the grill is not in use and when the plate is not covered, the ashtray can fi ll up with rain water.
If it happens, the ashtray needs to be emptied before you use the grill again.
