Smeg BQ91S [18/19] Cleaning and maintenance

Instructions for the User

12.CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

For the best, most thorough cleaning, we recommend the use of fairly mild products; use cream-type

stainless steel cleaners. SMEG brand products, which guarantee optimal cleaning of your appliance, are

available from authorised service centres.

Protective gloves should be worn when cleaning internal steel parts of the appliance.

12.1 Cleaning the exterior (stainless steel)

To keep the appliance in good condition, the outside and inside parts and accessories should be

cleaned regularly after each use, after allowing them to cool.

For optimal, in-depth cleaning of your barbecue, wear protective gloves and use specific degreasing

cleaners for stainless steel.

SMEG brand products, which guarantee optimal cleaning of your appliance, are available from

authorised service centres (Puliforno and Crema inox).

12.1.1 Routine cleaning

When cleaning and caring for external stainless steel surfaces, always use only specific

products which do not contain abrasives or chlorine-based acids.

Never use metal scouring pads or sharp scrapers; they will damage the stainless steel. Use

ordinary non-abrasive products, with the aid of wooden or plastic utensils if necessary.

Instructions for use: spray the product straight onto the dirty surfaces several times.

Wipe with a non-abrasive sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth. For the best results,

allow the degreasing detergent to act for some time. To eliminate yellowing, pour Crema inox

onto a paper cloth and rub in the direction of the satin-finish.

12.2 Cleaning the internal barbecue components

12.2.1 The grids

For the best results, clean the grids when still warm. Wearing heat-resistant gloves, dip them in water

and then scrub them with a brass-bristle brush to remove any food residues. Complete cleaning by

washing the grids with a degreasing detergent and rinse thoroughly.

The grids are dishwasher-friendly.

After thorough cleaning, operate the appliance to burn off detergent residues.
