Regularly clean your barbecue between uses and
especially after extended periods of storage.
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 with unprotected hands.
In order to extend the life and maintain the condition
of your barbecue, we strongly recommend that the
unit be covered when left outside for any length of
time, especially during the winter months.
1. Cooking Grill
Clean with hot soapy water. To remove any food residue, use a
mild cream cleaner on a non-abrasive pad. Rinse well and dry
thoroughly.
2. Burner Maintenance
In normal usage, burning off the residue after cooking will keep
the burner clean. The burner should be removed and cleaned
annually, or whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that
there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) in either the
burner portholes or the venturi tubes. Use a pipe cleaner to
clear obstructions. A wire brush can be used to remove corrosion
from the burner surfaces.
When refitting the burner, be careful to check that the venturi
tubes of the burner fit over the valve outlets.
The electrode on the burner can be bent or may snap off
during cleaning.
Possible consequences:
• Burner no longer light.
Safety measures:
• Take special care when cleaning the area around the burner
CAUTION!
ELECTRODE ON BURNER CAN BE BENT
Cleaning and maintenance
3. Barbecue Body
Regularly remove excess grease or fat from the barbecue body
with a soft plastic or wooden scraper.
It is not necessary to remove all the grease from the body. If you
need to clean fully, use hot soapy water and a cloth, or
nylon-bristled brush only. Remove cooking surfaces and burners
before full cleaning. Do not immerse the gas controls or manifold
in water. Check burner operation after carefully refitting into body.
4. Fixings
Annual checking and tightening of metal fixings is recommended.
5. Storage
Store your barbecue in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with
aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from
collecting in burner holes. If the barbecue is to be stored indoors,
the gas cylinder must be disconnected and left outside.
The gas cylinder should always be stored outside, in a dry,
well-ventilated area, away from any sources of heat or ignition.
Do not let children near the gas cylinder.
