Cleaning and care
The Electrolux Integrated barbecue has been constructed from select grade stainless steel which, if not cared for, may discolour over time. To keep your barbecue looking its best we recommend that the cooking surfaces are cleaned after every use.

Please ensure that your barbecue is switched off and has cooled down before following the instructions below.

tips and information
Special note on “tea staining”
Sometimes stainless steel surfaces are affected by a brown discolouration called tea staining. This usually occurs in areas which use high heat and can be easily removed using specialised stainless steel cleaners. For best results, we recommend that specialised cleaners be used regularly on all stainless steel components. You will find these cleaners at most hardware stores.

Special note on stainless steel
The stainless steel panels may distort while in use but will return to normal when cold.
caution
Take extra care (particularly when cleaning on and around the control knobs) to ensure that water and soapy residue do not enter the control panel, where the valves are or into the burners. Care should also be taken not to disturb the spark electrode. A distance of 5mm should be maintained between it and the burners (see diagram below).
