Some simplified and important guidelines:

  1. Close and disconnect the gas container. If it is empty, report it to the Urban Campus Support team.
  2. Use cleaning products. Be careful with the sponge you use, don’t scratch the grill. Ensure the barbecue and its components are sufficiently cool before cleaning. Never douse the barbecue with water when its surfaces are hot. Never handle hot parts.
  3. Take out the iron grills and the iron part above the fire: clean them with KH7, soap, and hot water. Rinse it until it’s clean :)
  4. Below the BBQ, there is a large metal tray where the fat falls. Take it out and clean it with soap and hot water.
  5. Clean the whole BBQ with hot water and KH7.
  6. Some fat probably fell on the floor. Use a floor cleaning product and water to clean it. Make sure to always use the BBQ on the protective carpet.
  7. Once it is dry, put the grill and the tin for the fat again. Cover the BBQ with the protection.

🌪 Gas
