How Do You Clean Mont Alpi Grills?

Some cleaning might be required out of the box before your first use.

Subsequently, Mont Alpi Grills should be cleaned on a regular basis. 

Out Of The Box Cleaning:

Once the protective film the items arrive in is peeled off, the grill might appear dirty and smudged. Note this is especially noticeable on Mont Alpi Black Stainless Steel BBQ Islands.

This is a normal occurrence due to fingerprints and the reaction that the protective film has on the stainless steel.

To get the grill looking perfect after unpacking, carry out the following steps:

  1. Spray WD40 or any oil based lubricant generously onto the exterior of the grill
  2. Wipe with a lint free cloth (be sure that the cloth doesn’t have sharp labels etc that could scratch the surface)
  3. After the initial wipe, nourish the metal with a liberal spray of WD40 or similar lubricant and leave to soak for 1 hour
  4. Wipe off the residue with oil sodden cloth
  5. Wipe off the residue with dry fresh cloth

After Every Use:

Interior Cleaning After Every Use:

  1. After you have finished cooking, close the hood and leave the burners running for 5 minutes (this will burn off the leftover food on the cooking surface)
  2. Open the roasting hood and scrub vigorously with a grill brush (this will push all of the dirt into the fat tray)
  3. Wipe the cooking grids with cooking oil and you are ready to go again

Exterior Cleaning After Every Use:

  1. Cover your grill using an all weather cover. Doing this regularly will substantially increase the lifetime of your grill.

Periodic Cleaning (~Every 5-15 Uses):

Interior Deep Cleaning:

  1. Check your grease tray and dispose of grease/oils/fats that have collected (this should be done once a month or every 5 uses)
  2. Wash the grease tray before replacing it (this should be done once a month or every 5 uses)
  3. Use a basting brush to wipe cooking oil on all of the inner workings of the barbecue, the burners, the flavour peaks / heat distributors and the cooking grids.
  4. Wipe the cooking grids with cooking oil and you are ready to go again

Exterior Deep Cleaning:

  1. Clean the exterior of the barbecue on a regular basis with an oil-based lubricant (the manufacturer recommends WD40.
  2. Apply lubricant generously on the roasting hood, the cart and the cabinet
  3. Wipe with a lint free cloth (be sure that the cloth doesn’t have sharp labels etc that could scratch the surface)
  4. After the initial wipe, nourish the metal with a liberal spray of WD40 or similar lubricant and leave to soak for 1 hour
  5. Wipe off the residue with oil sodden cloth
  6. Wipe off the residue with dry fresh cloth
