Cleaning
NOTE: Major maintenance and repairs should only be done by a certified technician.
ATTENTION!
Before cleaning or maintenance, always make sure the fire is extinguished and the appliance has cooled down completely.
- Check and tighten the bolts and bands after first use. The heat will cause them to expand after which they may become a bit loose. Check again at least two times a year.
- Lubricate the hinges two times a year (more if necessary).
ATTENTION!
Never use aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives. Do not use solvents or petrol-based cleaning agents. Some cleaning agents may leave harmful residues or cause damage to the machine. Use a mild and food-safe cleaning product instead.
Do not use any scourer and sharp or pointed objects during cleaning, this may cause damage to the appliance.
- Never hose down the machine or immerse it in water or any other liquid. Do not use a steamer to clean the appliance.
- The Kamado Grill is “self-cleaning”. Heating it at 260 °C for 30 minutes will scorch any residue left behind, after which it can be easily removed. If necessary, excess residues can be removed with a hard brush, and of course, only after the device has cooled down completely.
ATTENTION!
Do not use water or any cleaning products to clean the inside of the Kamado Grill. The inside wall is porous and absorbs liquids, this can cause the Kamado to crack.
- Wipe down the exterior using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.
- Clean the cooking grid and charcoal plate using a brush or cloth and warm water with a mild (food-safe) detergent. Do not clean in a dishwasher unless mentioned. Rinse under tap to remove soap residue.
- After cleaning, always dry the appliance, parts and accessories using a soft cloth.
