Caring For Your Aluminium Frames

Outdoor aluminium furniture is designed to be durable and weather-resistant, but regular cleaning will keep it looking its best.

During colder months or periods of storage, frames may collect dust, dirt, or grime. To clean:

• Use warm soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth
• Gently wipe down all surfaces to remove dirt
• Rinse with clean water if needed
• Allow frames to air dry (typically within an hour)

Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these may damage the finish.

Routine Maintenance

To maintain your furniture in top condition:

• Clean frames every few weeks during frequent use
• Check for any loose fittings or screws and tighten if necessary
• Remove debris such as leaves or standing water regularly

Cushion Care

• Store cushions in a dry, ventilated area when not in use
• Light stains can usually be removed with mild soap and water

Weather Protection

Aluminium is rust-resistant, but protecting your furniture will extend its lifespan:

• Use a protective cover during harsh weather or long periods of non-use
• Ensure furniture is completely dry before covering

Preventing Damage

• Avoid dragging furniture across rough surfaces
• Use coasters or mats to prevent marks from hot items or spills

How To Care For Your Maze Outdoor Kitchen

Our outdoor kitchens are designed for outdoor living and made using durable, weather-resistant materials. With regular care and maintenance, your kitchen will continue to look its best and provide years of enjoyment.

As with all outdoor furniture and equipment, regular cleaning is important to prevent dirt, grease and debris from building up.

Cleaning Your Outdoor Kitchen

For general cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild soap solution.

We recommend regularly cleaning:

• Kitchen cabinets and doors
• Worktops
• Handles and hardware
• Shelves and storage areas
• BBQ surfaces and components
• Any areas where food, grease or debris may collect

Once cleaned, rinse with clean water and dry with a soft cloth where possible.

Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, wire brushes or scouring pads on the kitchen surfaces, as these may damage the finish.

Do not use pressure washers directly on the kitchen units, BBQ or electrical components.

Kitchen Cabinets

The cabinetry is designed to withstand normal outdoor conditions and requires minimal maintenance.

To keep the cabinets looking their best:

• Clean regularly with warm soapy water.
• Remove spills and food residue promptly.
• Do not allow grease or dirt to build up.
• Dry the surfaces after cleaning where possible.
• Avoid dragging or placing sharp objects directly against the cabinet finish.

Over time, exposure to sunlight and the elements may naturally cause some change in appearance.

Worktops

Your worktop should be cleaned regularly using warm water, a mild soap solution and a soft cloth.

For spills, particularly from food, drinks, oil or grease, clean the affected area as soon as possible.

Do not use abrasive cleaning products, scouring pads or harsh chemicals, as these may mark or damage the surface.

Avoid placing extremely hot cookware directly onto the worktop. We recommend using suitable trivets or heat-resistant mats.

Do not cut directly onto the worktop.

BBQ Care

Regular cleaning of your BBQ is essential to maintain its appearance and performance.

After cooking:

• Allow the BBQ to cool completely before cleaning.
• Remove food residue and excess grease.
• Empty and clean the grease collection tray regularly.
• Wipe down the external surfaces with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
• Ensure the BBQ is completely dry after cleaning.

Grease should not be allowed to accumulate, as this can affect the performance of the BBQ and increase the risk of flare-ups.

Gas BBQs

If your outdoor kitchen includes a gas BBQ:

• Check the gas hose and connections regularly for visible signs of damage.
• Ensure connections remain secure.
• Keep gas components clean and free from grease and debris.
• Always turn the gas supply off when the BBQ is not in use.
• Never store or use a gas bottle in a way that is contrary to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not modify the gas system or attempt to repair gas components yourself.

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, turn off the gas supply immediately, do not operate electrical switches or naked flames, and follow the safety instructions supplied with your BBQ.

Any gas repairs or alterations should be carried out by a suitably qualified professional.

Electrical Components

Where your outdoor kitchen includes electrical appliances, lighting, fridges or other electrical components:

• Keep electrical connections clean and dry.
• Do not use abrasive products around electrical fittings.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair electrical components yourself.
• Check cables and connections regularly for visible damage.

If an electrical component stops working or appears damaged, stop using it and contact Maze Living or a suitably qualified professional for advice.

Fridges & Appliances

Outdoor kitchen appliances should be maintained in accordance with the individual manufacturer's instructions.

For outdoor fridges:

• Keep the ventilation areas clear.
• Do not block air vents.
• Clean spills promptly.
• Regularly clean the inside of the fridge.
• Ensure the door seal remains clean and free from debris.

Do not use appliances for purposes other than those for which they were designed.

Sintered Stone & Other Worktop Materials

Some Maze outdoor kitchens feature sintered stone or other specialist worktop materials.

Although these materials are highly durable, care should still be taken to prevent damage.

We recommend:

• Cleaning spills promptly.
• Using chopping boards when preparing food.
• Using trivets beneath hot cookware.
• Avoiding impacts from heavy or sharp objects.
• Cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.

Do not use abrasive products unless specifically recommended by the worktop manufacturer.

Weather & Outdoor Conditions

Our outdoor kitchens are designed for outdoor use, but they remain exposed to changing weather conditions.

During periods of severe weather:

• Keep kitchen doors closed when the kitchen is not in use.
• Do not leave food or other items exposed to the elements.
• Check the kitchen after periods of particularly strong winds or severe weather.

Outdoor kitchens should not be considered completely weatherproof or watertight structures.

Water ingress can occur during periods of heavy or wind-driven rain, particularly around doors, joints and appliance openings.

Winter Care

Your Maze outdoor kitchen can remain outdoors throughout the year.

Before winter, we recommend:

• Thoroughly cleaning the kitchen.
• Cleaning the BBQ and removing grease build-up.
• Emptying and cleaning grease trays.
• Cleaning the inside of cabinets.
• Checking doors, hinges and handles.
• Checking worktops for any damage.
• Checking gas hoses and connections for visible signs of wear.
• Checking electrical components and cables.
• Ensuring drainage and ventilation areas remain clear.

Where an appliance manufacturer recommends seasonal removal, protection or storage, their instructions should always be followed.
