4.3 Extinguishing the fire
• Allow all the charcoal/briquettes to burn up completely. By spreading them out properly in
the charcoal tray, the fire will be extinguished more quickly.
• Close all the air ventilation grilled of the charcoal barbecue. By blocking the supply of oxygen,
the fire will be extinguished more quickly.
• Never use water to extinguish the fire. Use of water may lead to physical injury and/or
material damage.
• Do not empty the ash receptacle until all charcoal/briquettes and ash have been completely
extinguished and the barbecue has cooled down fully.
5 Maintenance of your barbecue
After the use of the barbecue we recommend that you store it under a barbecue cover or in the
garage/shed.
Only store the barbecue after it has fully cooled down. Never store it in a damp space, and never
store it in a space where flammable or inflammable substances are being stored.
5.1 Cleaning your charcoal barbecue
It is recommended to clean the grill racks immediately after use. You can use a stainless-steel
barbecue brush to do this, or you can choose to use water and a mild detergent. After cleaning with
water, always take care to dry the grill racks thoroughly.
